Vintage Stanley Bailey No.4 1/2 Smooth Bottom Type 11 Plane. Has roughly 95% of the original Japanning. Sharp and tuned and ready for use. Honed to 3000 grit and cuts super smooth and thin. Please check pictures carefully for further descriptionThis has been restored. My restoration process starts with electrolysis ( when needed) to remove any and all rust without using any harsh chemicals. Otherwise I do my best to keep the original Japanning. It is then lapped (flat surfaces sanded with sand paper on 3/8 glass to insure straight and even) to 1000 grit. Afterwards it gets two good coats of rust oleum paint. The totes are cleaned up and sanded to 400 grit and 4 coats of shellac knocking it down smooth between coats. All parts are then oiled. I’ve been a carpenter for 20 years and bringing these back to life is my passion!
Shipping is priority mail but may have to wait until the weekend as my work hours don’t really work with the post office. Larger planes may be taken apart and each piece individually wrapped so nothing gets broken.
