jg9522 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 saw an ad for 7 handplanes for $55 but it didn't state what they were. I met with him and the planes were a Stanley no7 w/corrugated sole (I already have one of those), Stanley no6, Stanley no607, a Wards Master no4, Stanley no220, Stanley noC255 x5, and I don't see any markings on the last block plane on the right. They are all rusty and I told him I really didn't want any of them except the 220 and maybe the Wards no4. Why the Wards? I have a Craftsman no5 and it is every bit as nice as my Stanley no5. Not that I know very much about planes, but I have an addiction, and I'm learning how to use them. He didn't want to split them so i walked to my car and he followed me and said I could have them all for $20. I bought them and when I got home I looked them all over very closely. Other than the rust, they are all in very good to excellent condition. And the 607 is a Bedrock, which from the little bit of research I've done, are worth quite a bit more than the $20 that I spent on all of them. I have a lot of hard work ahead of me, but in the end, I think I'll be happy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Shane and Tom, thank you both. Sure beats the heck out of WD-40 and wet and dry. Even temporarily brought back Chef! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg9522 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks for the posts. That is a great restore you did. It looks great. I think I might try electrolysis this time. Although I'm leery of it removing the japanning. I did a search on the Stanley Bedrock 607 and I see them selling for over $300. It is one of the earliest models (3 line name on lever cap). Does evaporust remove japanning? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
