I have ground the plane sides and bottom surfaces flat on a thick plate glass base using progressively finer grits of sandpaper thru 600 grit until the bottom is truly flat. The remaining original japanning was stripped, and replaced with a modern baked on finish carefully built up in successive coats resulting in a great looking durable finish that will last a lifetime. `The totes are in great condition and nicely grained. I have cleaned,refinished and polished them and they are in beautiful condition. There is a tight closed crack on the front tote that has been glued and clamped. It is very strong and solid, only mentioned for descriptive accuracy. (see picture 9) The original blade is full length, appears to have been little used, and has been well sharpened read more
