Ohio Tool Company #5 Plane Restoration #1: Part 1

Well I never thought the day would come when I would actually blog about something. My thinking has been that it is to personal.. Anyways, I thought this might be a good time to start. A first project for me that I would like to document.

My Ex and I have been divorced for 14 or so years.. I was over at her new house visiting my 17 year old son and his “new” garage/workshop. Yea 17 and he has his own space. 1 1/2 car detached with plenty of power and a heater.. I’m looking around and I see a box in the corner which appears to have some old hand tools in it. As I am looking through it I find a “05” hand plane with no other markings… I say “bud, where did you get this?” “oh, its moms dads and she gave it to me and told me to do something with them., you can have it..”

I started researching it last night on sawcreek and come to find out it is made by Ohio Tool Company and turns out will be a nice user..

So my journey begins on the restoration process.. Here are some pictures….
