MF_14_Cap_Iron_2_After.JPGCap Iron after Tuning76 viewsBoth the top and bottom have been tuned. Bottom is evened out to ensure that there are no gaps under which shavings can get caught. Top is smoothed, polished, and waxed to minimize friction. I'm not convinced that the work on top really makes all that much difference, but I figure it won't hurt anything. In any event, it looks nice. I suppose the shiny surface might be used as a mirror should I ever decide to use the cutting iron for shaving.Chuck Myers

MF_14_Fasteners.JPGScrews65 viewsThese are all the screws that hold the finished plane together. Can't remember if I took this before or after cleaning them up.Chuck Myers

MF_14_Frog_1_Before.JPGFrog as Found69 viewsTypical of old planes, the frog was in need of basic cleanup (along with all the other parts) when I bought the plane.Chuck Myers

MF_14_Frog_2_After.JPGFrog after Cleanup58 viewsThe cleanup measures evident here may not make any difference in performance, but it looks a little nicer. Yeah, the depth adjust knob has been polished. It's hard for me to see brass without thinking of Brasso. That's another story...Chuck Myers

MF_14_Frog_Base_1_Before.JPGFrog Base Before59 viewsAs found/purchased, the base of the frog is pretty rough and uneven. It might not make a lot of difference, but I'd rather be sure that it seats firmly.Chuck Myers

MF_14_Frog_Base_2_After.JPGFrog Base After64 viewsAfter filing flat, the frog will seat much more accurately, with (in theory at least) improved performance.Chuck Myers

MF_14_Frog_Face_Before_1.JPGFrog Face as Found60 viewsThis is what the frog's face looked like when I bought the plane. Pretty rough, as you can see.Chuck Myers
