re: Opening scene: Rescued from the back shelves.

I seriously doubt it’s an Auburn Thistle brand blade. This is Wales…chances are slim. I’ll rub off some rust and see tomorrow though, you just never know.

I’m OK with reproducing the plane if I can’t fix it up. I could always use some of the old wood, I suppose, just to keep the provenance. That handle is crap. I need to find out what’s supposed to be there and I think that identifying the blade may help. So, yeah, time to rub some rust off.

thanks for the ideas. More pics soon.
