I recently acquired a Millers Falls No 22 (like a Stanley 7) from my Grandfather-in-law and I am refinishing it. I have read Garret Hack's book and read alot on this website. The one thing i can not figure out is how to flatten this 22" long sole... Do I need a 4 ft long piece of glass and several sheets of sandpaper glued end-to-end?
I am in the porcess of buying some more old planes from ebay, so I was just going to re-hab all at once (as time permits). I would rather not buy online, but I can not find a good source for old planes in the Memphis area. Antique shops are no good and I don't have years of patience to check garage and estate sales....
Thanks for the help.
