Have work to do..

At least as far as this plane..

   
Yep, yep....

   
MIGHT take a bit?

 Test drive?

   
iron was sharp, but rusty...the sole?

   
Cleaned up nicely enough...all those very small pits are now full of wax...

Part 2:   Seems I "Picked" a hand plane the other day ($25!)

   
The Tote was loose, is all....however..

   
The rest of the parts needed a wee bit of work...besides cleaning off the rust?

   
Iron was bent...and someone else had tried it as a Bevel up plane?  

   
Vise to squeeze most of the bends out...those that refused to flatten out...we have ways..

   
Once things were "straightened out"...then worked on the bevel a bit...

   
And...there is a bare spot on me left forearm....

Plane is a Millers Falls No. 9 ( says so right on the side of the base casting) and is a Type 2.

How do I know?  Well..

   
Not only do I have a second Type 2...there is a fancier Type 4 sitting between the two..

   
A No. 9 is about the same size ( and WEIGHT!) as a Stanley No. 4


Also in the Road trips "findings"..

   
Two Stanley 8" Tri-squares....and...

   
A Millers Falls No. 107 Eggbeater Drill....bad part was the drill storage handle was empty..

trying to decide whether the gear needs Black paint, or Red...1915 they were red...

   
Kind of hard to tell, right now....but there is a few traces of red left on the gear..
