This here is my first attempt at tool refurbishing, this Stanley Plane belonged to my Father-in-law Bob who was a general contractor in Miami,Florida after WW 2, in which he was a Seabee. I have no clue how to use it so I’ll just hang on a wall for the present, wish I had asked Bob about it before he passed away. My brother-in-law in Miami inherited a majority of Bob’s tools, I wonder what he did with them? Will have to call him and find out. I refinished the handles on my mini lathe and Chris my son-in-law refinished the metal parts at his work place where they make wiring harnesses for all kinds of applications, thanks Chris.

Beautiful restore on the router plane. It will come in handy when that dado juuuusssttt isnt deep enough. Well done Rodman.

Nice job. We’ll need to see some shavings!
