With over 76 years of life experience and a passion for woodworking, I’ve spent decades collecting, restoring, and working with antique hand tools, mostly hand planes . I'm an Army Vet. (1967-1969) and married with 2 children. I'm also a avid gardener. I have a degree in Forestry from S.I.U. although I only worked in the industry for 6 weeks. I'm retired from the coal mines and also the Post Office. I live in Southern Illinois near Carbondale. I love to hunt and fish. I live on 30 with a 9 acre strip mine lake in front of the house. My work shop includes a Delta Unisaw , a Grizzley 17" band saw and a DeWalt 735 planer. I have many hand planes including a very nice Stanley #2 type 7
Up for sale is a really nice Stanley #5 type 11 bench plane. This one has the corrugated Sole and it is flat. The Japanning was very spotty so I stripped it off and re-Japanned it using Stanley's factory recipe and baked it 5 times to set the Japanning. I have also cleaned up the sides a little. I have sharpened the iron and it is razor sharp. It has the V logo and it almost factory length at 7 5/16" long and hasn't been sharpened much. I also lapped the chip breaker and lever cap so they fit tight to the iron. The rosewood tote and knob are in great shape and show their original patina. I have done a horn repair on the tote.
