Beautiful work Mauricio, those planes turned out great. Flattening the soles won’t be that bad Mauricio.

Mauricio- Rest assured that how ever long it takes you, you’ll be done before me. Sob, sob.

Excellent work Mauricio. It’s a lot of work to restore a plane but in the end it is worth it.

Fantastic looking set!

”#5C – my wife picked it up at a flea market for $15 bucks. She’s a keeper.” Her eye for
good tool deals is appreciable, no doubt. But there must be other qualities that she has that would justify keeping her as a wife.

Ruler trick?

Also “But there must be other qualities that she has that would justify keeping her as a wife.” Yes, she picked him, not only that, she kept him, and I’m assuming he didn’t need restoring at that time.

Cheers!

When I first opened the thread I saw the glamor shot of the back of your planes. WOW was the first thing that came to my mind. You should be proud, you have done a very nice job. And they should preform well for you.
Nice!
