Could not resist this one as it did not need much help, just some light rust removal and cleaning.

Wow, quite a transformation Tim. I wish we had old tools like this available here in Norway. There are lots of #4 hand planes at all the primary schools, but nothing on the market for sale.

Supper nice job Tim!!

Very nice.
Tor and Odin are the greatest of gods.
Great looking plane! It’s interesting how similar the Miller Falls tote is to the tote on the Lee Valley plane, as compared to the Stanley style tote.

Great job , you have inspired me grandpas brace is coming off the wall, hopefully I can do it justice.
look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, no it's a big hunk of the bowl I was turning.
Very nice! It sure is fun to breathe new life into these old tools isn’t it…

Thanks all,
This on was more of a cleaning than a restore and it performs very well.
I just picked up a MF No. 105 hand drill Single-speed hand drill, Oldtoolheaven says it from 1914 so I guess its next.
