Got a big skip and threw everything away ... lol If you mean the grey, it's a resin based coating from Amazon

White, when it's all clean and done you feel obliged to keep it that way!

Got sorted but many thanks

Totally agree however if a total newbie buys one, blunts it and has no idea how to fettle and sharpen it will end in tears

Old Stanley, £50 max to buy and fettle, A new LAJ from LN £300 will work str8 from the box but will still need fettling to be 100% Being a newbie myself I would rather go down learning and sorting on an old school unit and then depending on funds and if I felt necessary buy a new one ...

I have dewalt one, love it and its variable speed and a really long power cord!

Lorch Schmid... wow ! Keep up the great work a very very interesting read !

Can I add, becoming older and wiser ( i have often been called a tool ) so think i qualify ! Years ago i just couldn't manage to sort a hand plane and get it to actually cut with any success, unable to sharpen it or set it up. I think with age we gain the personal skills we need to progress...

Superb work and keep it up ! Keeping active keeps you well

Right then, re ground 30' reassembled bevel down, and in all fairness it works a treat, however as there is no real means of adjusting the depth of cut so it's all a bit hit and miss! But it does work so bonus

Looking at the ground edge of the blade I guess I need to give it more "licks" on 1000g side to get it really smooth and get rid of the ridges then strop it more. The shavings arnt bad ribbons but split in places which I guess is the minute ridges on the blade.

Well, a bit of progress today and aching arms! Took ages on the 300 diamond stone and then on the 1000 other side, I used a honing guide as am obv a novice and got the angle as close to 25' as poss. Result? Well it cuts not bad to be fair. Had a bit of trouble keeping the edge of the blade...

The Record ( far right ) & Stanley Bailey next to it both have the keyhole slots ! but all appear to be a bit of a mish mash :)

Amazing! How wierd that I wouldnt think of anything "round" as a box !

Stanley Rule & Level Co on the top of the blade so deffo bevel down which mine is at prob 45' so need to get myself back in garage later!

Different plane but I guess same principle ? Im obv new to all this so everyone's help is greatly appreciated, right let me go look to see if there is a name on the plane blade !

do you have the lnk to where you have seen this please ?

Looking at them I'm not sure I'm that lucky !

Been trying to identify its age all I can see is 014 on the base plate & QC 37 of the blade support with a raised ring around the handle https://cloud.woodandshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/stanley-bailey-handplane-type-study-flow-chart.pdf Not sure if I'm getting things right but does...
