    Wooden Plane Restoration

    Hi Toby, the dimensions of the body are 8 3/8" x 3" x 1 5/8". I have found some sort of marking on the blade after a gentle scrub with a brass brush, but the marking seems to be mostly corroded away (see pic). Carl, thanks for the tip.

    Wooden Plane Restoration

    Thanks very much guys, this is just the type of info I was looking for. So regarding the restoration, I will clean up the irons as mentioned, and for the plane bodies a wipe down with boiled linseed oil. I would imagine some of them are that dry that they may need a more than one application...

    trimming using templates with router advice please !

    Louise, if you are unable to add a pin to your router table, an alternative method would be to clamp a triangular piece of wood to your table top and use the point of the triangle to guide your workpiece into the cutter. Just as you would with a fulcrum pin.

    Car body filler

    I've recently been watching a couple of Mick Hanbury's dvd's and he uses 'Leak Fix' filler because it dries black. I think this maybe what Kym is referring to as it is in yellow packaging and available from Halfords...
