Stanley Bailey No. 7 Plane Restoration

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Stanley Bailey No. 7 Plane RestorationI couldn't figure out where this should be posted, but saw that there were several refurbished hand planes in the projects library and decided to put it here. I apologize if it's the wrong place, it's not very clear where to post it…...I guess it has wood handles and sure as heck was a PROJECT for me! :)I finally got back to finishing up my No. 7 Stanley Bailey Hand Plane after setting it aside about a year ago. Purchased on eBay and it was in rough shape. I started to flatten the sole and found that it was WAY off. I worked on it so long that I just tapped out and put it up.I pulled it out 3 days ago and spent about another 5 hours getting the sole flat and my arms are feeling it!Completely stripped, painted, lubed, sharpened, and buffed everything.I love to breathe new life into old tools and appreciate using them knowing the work that I put into it. I'm not a Stanley Plane historian, but “think” this Type 19 (1948-61). I refurbished a No.8 about a year ago and have it next to the No. 7 in the photo. I purchased the Veritas A2 replacement blade for the No. 8 and will probably do so for the No. 7. They are much thicker and cut extremely well.The original blade did pretty well after getting it all tuned and sharpened up.Enjoy,
-Hutch
