Ohio Tool #05 Jack Plane

Historical Data: Likely manufactured 1900-1920

**The original Ohio Tool laminated blade was damaged beyond repair, having split and a good size chunk broken off. I replaced it with a brand new Tramontina blade out of Brazil. The same steel used to make the licensed copies of Smith &Wesson Revolvers and Colt 1911 pistols. Thick steel and tough, well made, sharpened nicely.

**I restored this plane for woodworkers, not collectors. I cleaned, de-rusted, painted with Rust Oleum premium enamel paint. The iron was sharpened, the chip breaker tuned to fit tightly and the frog was carefully installed for best fit/performance. The plane was then tested on a 2 X 4. The blade cut cleanly and the plane coiled up beautiful shavings, as see in the photos above. Considerably better than average.

**This is a user restoration, not a historically exact museum tool. When possible and when needed, the finish has been carefully color matched to the original style intended for years of workshop use. We function test before sending out. (Please be careful unboxing as the blades are always sharpened.) Our goal is to preserve the character of vintage tools while returning them to the workbench creating woodworker glitter as intended. If you have any questions about the restoration please message and we will be happy to talk.

**Please review all photos carefully, as they are an important part of the description. We make every effort to accurately describe any flaws, wear, repairs, missing components, and upgrades. We encourage buyers to review the photos and descriptions before purchasing.

** I hope the person who buys it enjoys it as much as I enjoyed restoring it. I'm also attempting to make the plane reasonably priced to be a better value than new planes, per Mr. Kruger's commentary.

**Note: This is a used product and is sold as-is, no returns. So please look carefully at all the pictures as well as reading the description. Best Regards, DaveInGA
