    Fettled a 5 1/4 Today



    Post war - blue paint on body and brown paint on frog. Birch tote and knob I replaced with some rosewood out of my parts box.

    Dunno what the fuss is all about....never rehabbed a newer plane commonly poormouthed....but all this one needed was 5 minutes flattening on the jointer table with 220 wet-or-dry and sharpening. Sole was pretty flat and frog pretty true.

    “Perhaps then, you will say, ‘But where can one have a boat like that built today?’ And I will tell you that there are still some honest men who can sharpen a saw, plane, or adze...men (who) live and work in out of the way places, but that is lucky, for they can acquire materials for one third of city prices. Best, some of these gentlemen’s boatshops are in places where nothing but the occasional honk of a wild goose will distract them from their work.” -- L Francis Herreshoff
