Restoration of a Vintage Wooden Scrub Plane

P.S. I got this plane on ebay. They were asking $25 or best offer. I offered $5 and won it! Cant beat that deal.

Nice looking restoration

Very nice. I have one similar missing the horn I need to get to some day. Hope mine comes out as good as yours did.

great deal on that. I look for old planes around my local antique stores. It is a surprisingly great place to find some amazing planes for almost no money. I bought a batch about an hour from my house that had 7 planes for 10 bucks.
Great job on the restoration.

I love the last picture of it proving its worth.

Nicely done Mauricio.

Well done Mauricio. Heck of a deal too.

Nice job! I have an old ~1850-60s Auburn that I cleaned up, but have thus far not restored. I may have to add the wax and oil. Thanks for sharing Mauricio.

Nice work Mauricio! I’ve been liking those horned scrubs more the more often I see them.. .

Thanks for all the great comments guys! This plane is a lot of fun to use. You all need one of these. ;-)

Kova, pues algún parecido tiene, curvo y pa’ la izquierda! jajaja. (Kova, I guess it might look a little alike, curved and leaning to the left. hahaha)

Thanks Dave, I know you like the old wooden planes. Its pretty funny that I didnt realize it was a butcher iron until today.
