I found a box in the basement, that had an old Bailey No. 5 Jack plane in it. I have no idea where it came from! My knowledge of planes is very limited, so I need a little help.
The expectation is that I likely won't put in the time/energy to restore the plane to original condition. It is much more likely that I would put the time in to get it in good working condition. The plane is 14" long, and 2 3/8" wide. I took a few pics of it, and it looks to be in worse shape than it actually is. The rust doesn't look that bad, when viewing the plane itself. The sole is not perfectly flat, so I know that needs to be taken care of. But I don't know the best way to take care of the rest of it. So I need someone to sing the Beetles song, "I want to hold your hand".
