    Arm is a bit chewed up...thumbscrew is all the way in, before it gets tight on the arm....back end of the arm has gotten too fat, would need driven out to replace..so
    Work to do, replacement arm.JPG
    Needed to cut this blank down for length, to match the old one, then..
    Work to do 2, plane an arm.JPG
    A Stanley No.3, Type 11 to plane to final size AND shape...


    The old pin?
    Work to do 2, bad pin.JPG
    Was too corroded and bent to re-use...so...
    Work to do 2, new pin.JPG
    Old Allen Wrench, of about the right size..cut for length, one end sharpen up. The problem with that thumbscrew? was too worn down on the end...sanded a few layers off, until a thread and a half stuck of inside the opening...
    Work to do 2, cleaned head.JPG
    gave the rest a good clean up...the drill to install the new pin/cutter..
    Work to do 2, installed pin.JPG
    Fit was tight enough that a hammer was needed to drive the pin into place...

    Nice job Steven. Did you shape the pin as a point or put a flat on it?

    Next rehab? Road Trip to Brandt, Ohio....stopped at a Junk Shop....price tag said $5
    Rusty & Krusty, sole's rusty.jpg
    You can barely make out the 5- on the sole...
    Rusty & Krusty, Side view.jpg
    Paid $4 for this....
    Rusty & Krusty, top view.jpg
    Same size as my Stanley No. 60-1/2...
    Might take a full day IN the Rehab Shop?

    BTW...Remember them funny plastic handles Great Neck used on their No. 4 hand planes? The fellow had one of those planes, was in "Mint" condition...$25....Pass...

    OK..after further review...Block plane has Black Japanning,,,eccentric bolt is solid brass...no model number is stamped on the left side of the body. Iron has the clipped corner box with Stanley inside...Depth adjuster has both STANLEY and Made in USA.

    Less than an hour IN the Rehab Shop..
    Rusty & Krusty, the rehab, top view.jpg
    Seems to match up well with my Stanley No. 60-1/2 Cordovan...
    Rusty & Krusty, the rehab, the sole.jpg
    Sole came out nicely enough, for a block plane...
    Rusty & Krusty, the rehab, Twins.jpg
    For $4..this MIGHT be a "Keeper"?
