Plough Plane Project
So, this grubbly plane, like Fraser, needs a good clean.
Beech, with brass tips, escutcheons and depth stop screw.
You do not need to put on the marigolds or find a buffing wheel to clean it up. Nothing too heavy is needed , just a bit of tender loving care with a bit of fine wire wool to clean off a few idle paint marks, years of dust layers and a minor amount of surface rust. We think this...

Clifton No.6 Fore Plane - Old School!
Pre-owned with a few dints and scratches but in excellent functional order.
This is an older Clifton (Sheffield) model which many would say are better than the new models (don't shoot the messenger!). A 2 piece cap iron and hand forged 2 3/8" wide blade are great features. Green painted which dates it to about at least 10-12 years ago. It can't have done much work as the iron is still very full.
