Plane care and refurbishing. - Rick Barton - 12-05-2017
I decided the other day I needed to pull out my user planes and give them an inspection and a good oiling. A few needed some light polishing as surface rust was trying to form from finger prints. I try to remember to rub an oily rag over them before putting them up but sometimes I forget.
Anyway I guess I enjoyed that so much I decided to rehab a few rough planes I've had squirreled away for a while.

Well that's what I've gotten done this past week. I still have about a dozen needing one level of attention or another.
Thanks for looking.

Excellent work Rick!
Gotta love those red frog Miller's Falls...... Mine are Craftsman.... but they are the same planes....

Good work. I'll send you a few boxfuls if you get bored.

Yeah Skip I like me some Millers Fall's. They're really good tools and a bit different than all the Stanley's we see.

Oh, I dunno, Jim. My old hands are starting to complain as it is.

I know the feeling. Anytime I get too vigorous in the shop my friend "Arthur" comes for a visit. I do not really care for him or any of the "Itis" clan anyway.
