I found a wooden Bailey Plane in my mother's basement that was my grandfather's. I am guessing from the 40's or 50's, and has a lot of sentimental value to me. The plane is in pretty good condition except for some dry rot on the corners of the bottom front edge. Is there a way to repair this? Would epoxy hold up to planing? Could I cut the damage out, and glue in a repair?
Thanks for any help or suggestions,
Tim
