Thanks Dave, I've watched a lot of Plane restoration and tune-ups over the years and this was among the very best I've seen, lots of practical advice to get a tidy and fully functional plane !
Loved the rebuild process, will definitely be rebuilding some of my planes over the coming weeks. The iron sharpening process i found rather complicated, not to distract from how you sharpen your blades/irons and chisles of course! You do a fantastic job!! I can sharpen an iron or chisle in under 30seconds with only two steps. And i mean shaving sharp. Thats whats required in the workplace. Time is money.
Great restoration Dave. I have one just like it that i picked up at a flea market for $15 and it hasn't seen much use. I'll refer to this video when I clean it up. Nicely done
i was worried you were making a museum piece that wasn't going to be used at one point, but seeing the jig for squaring off the iron and the final result made it clear - i'm sorry i doubted you. lovely result.
