This is before. In pretty good shape really. It’s a pre lateral Stanley-Bailey #34.
All I have done is soak the metal parts in evapo-rust and give the wood a coat of BLO and wax. I fixed the tote with a piece of beech from a donor transitional body I had laying around. The blade was wire wheeled and sharpened.
I then had to give it a try. I grabbed a piece of 2 x 6 rough sawn pine.
checking to make sure its square once in a while.
And a 6’ level shows its straight.
A few final shots with the Stanley 22 and Ohio 22.
