>Somehow I seemed to have lucked out and picked up a Auburn Tool Co plane and blade. I didn't even bother to look at the maker until I was grinding the blade. That is some tough steel. Sandpaper wasn't making much of dent in the blade flattening so I went to carbide powder even that was super slow going. Grinding a new bevel was such a pleasure only one little blue spot on the very corner. Just need to put a little throat plate in and it's going to be one great user. See if can rangle someone up to take a pic on the weekend.

>It's funny, I live right down the road from Auburn and used to live there, but I never see any Auburn made tools there. I've scoured the flea markets, garage sales, etc. no luck. Anyone else concur with this phenomenon in other areas? I guess auburn tool co. was a big thing in it's hay day. oh well, I'll keep looking.....

btw. I'd like to see that pic posted.

>Aubern made tools under many differant names and marks I don't have my book here at work but could look it up for you if you want. A popular one around here in Ks. is Ogonze brand but there are tens of other marks they used. I bet you have been steping over them and never even knew that you were. I just buy them all and will let some one else sort them out when I'm gone. that seems like the easiest way for me.
