No.3 resto

[mtt.tr]

Well im have started restoring a no.3 and no.110 (will become an infill) but what is the best way to remove the japaning as i will repaint it

 

[Pvt_Ryan]

nice, I just won a no 110.. So I am going to turn it or my no 220 into an infill. Also won a crappy no name (in desc anyway) plane especially as an infill project.

Nitromors and similar paint strippers typically strip japanning back to bare metal.

I'm testing the "cold Japanning" as suggested by Derek in Australia earlier...will let you know how it goes...

I personally like the satin black of the HT paint on Edd's restoration.

Me too, as he's done one heck of a nice job.

I've only just found what I hope may prove a good source of legitimate stoving enamel - available in gloss, satin and matt and should be experimenting with it once it lands in a few days time.

A No110 converted to an infill plane?! Ok, please do tell me more! I have three 110's, two stanleys and one unknown make, obviously one of them is in use, so theres two going spare. I was gonna chope the front off one, back to the blade opening and use it as a rebate plane of sorts.

If you could throw up a few pics at some stage that'd be great, would love to see this one and have a go at making one myself, just have no idea on how to go about it at the moment 8)
