BEAUTIFUL Stanley Plane Restoration!

Описание: I picked this rusty Stanley plane up for £18 at a car boot sale in the UK a few years ago. It was about time it had an Old School Restoration!
I began disassembly which was fairly straight forward except a couple of points where I had to use an impact driver to remove rusted in screws on the handle and the frog adjustment. I tried electrolysis for rust removal, but there was some rust left so tried evaporust, this worked very well.
After a good clean up the restoration began, sanding, and polishing all parts and sharpening the blade and chip breaker with a diamoned stone.
I was really pleased with how this came out, it's not too overdone, and I like the fact the handle it retained its patina even after a gentle clean up and a week soaking in linseed oil!
I hope you enjoy the rust removal and restoration!
