Vintage Craftsman 306.9121 planer restoration #2: OK moving right along

Don that was quick :)

That was indeed quick. Looks like it came out quite nicely as well. Great work as usual Don.

How much time do you have in it now Don?
She is looking good.

I actually don’t have that much time it it Dave. Not nearly as much as I expected. I would guess about 8-10 hours. So far I’ve got less than $150 in it. I’m thinking its going to be good. My future son in law is welding me some extensions.

Don we will need some action shots when you get her going. Nice work!

Very nice Don. The grey was a good choice. Good to hear it outperforms what you had.

Wow, that’s an outstanding step-up for the shop! If you ever had need to clear out equipment to make room for more planes, and this old Craftsman has to go, I’m sure I can make room to help a friend out… :-)

What a wonderful job you made of that Don. Nice addition to your shop.

Mauricio, there is a slight hint of snipe. I will try adjusting the rollers once I get the extensions on it. I also didn’t quit get all of one ding out of the blade, but I hand plane everything after, so nether situation is a concern right now. I’ll fix as time permits though.

Dave, action shots to follow.
