Hi All,
I bought two hand planes today that look pretty old. I'd like to try and restore them with the goal of using them in my shop (newbie woodworker though but I figure this will be a fun project to try). I'll have to take some pictures when it's daylight out but the parts look very rusty. Any tips / trips when restoring hand planes or is there a thread where I can be pointed to?
One of the planes are a transitional plane about 12 inches long (ohio tool company no 37) but only a couple of inches high. The other one is a wooden plane about 24 inches long stamped A. Maynard. I actually don't know what they are but figured trying to restore could help me learn more about hand planes! I figured first step is to use rust remover (although to be honest I'm about to start researching what to do).
Hoping the forum can point me in the right direction. The more I'm doing woodworking the more I like the idea of hand tools for some reason although still learning so we'll see how that goes!
Luis
