MF_14_Frog_Face_Truing_4.JPGFrog Face about Half Way56 viewsStarting to look like the effort might be worth it.Chuck Myers

MF_14_Frog_Base_1_Before.JPGFrog Base Before49 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 After51 viewsAfter filing flat, the frog will seat much more accurately, with (in theory at least) improved performance.Chuck Myers

MF_14_Frog_1_Before.JPGFrog as Found54 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 Cleanup50 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_Cap_Iron_1_Before.JPGCap Iron as Found50 viewsThe cap iron wasn't in the best of shape when I bought the plane. It was pretty rough looking, and there were gaps where it seated on the cutting iron.Chuck Myers

MF_14_Cap_Iron_2_After.JPGCap Iron after Tuning66 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
