work done
The body and frog were cleaned very well then any area missing japanning is treated with a metal oxide rust inhibitor which coats the area and protects it from corrosion. Then japanning is waxed.
All the hardware was cleaned and oiled. All tread holes are cleaned and oiled
The Rosewood Tote & knob are very nice. Both were cleaned then waxed and polished several times to get a very smooth natural finish.
The sole was lapped "correctly". All lapping is done by hand on a granite slab.
Cheeks were lapped and the rail's were cleaned and smoothed out.
Frog face & seats lapped.
Cap iron was cleaned and lapped.
The Cutter was lapped and sharpened. Its extremely sharp and cuts superb shavings leaving a very smooth finish on the wood surface.
The Lever cap was cleaned then lapped at its contact point.
This is excellent plane. Plane work's superb it will be a asset to any shop or collection.
I have been selling my planes on for over 20 years and have always strived to put out a excellent plane at a very reasonableprice and back it with a """"100 percent satisfaction guarantee"""". I go through each plane completely which most importantly includes lapping them "correctly" Using a belt sander is the quickest way to destroy a plane and just buffing the cheeks and sole to make them look good does absolutely nothing for a plane.
