My daughter in-law's mother had to clean out her father's home (Korean War Marine - currently in assisted living) and sent me his chisel collection. She also sent a "Standard No. 6" hand plane.
Would like inputs on:
1. A broken carving chisel; can I simply re-grind the point or toss it? I'm thinking I can re-grind it; slowly to minimize heat build up / loss of temper.
2. How would you remove the patina / corrosion on them?
Given how lite it appears, I'm thinking I could buff them and use paste wax to coat them.
Thoughts?
