A Hamler Miller Plough ****

I took a total of about 3 hours or a bit less. I'm fairly certain I did not do as nice a job as some of the folks doing them. I used my wonderful 050 as a guide--and I mean that in a good way. I figure it's as pristine a job as I need.
Not perfect as regards removing every casting seem in the hard to access areas. "Blended" in would be a good term for those places. All else was filed, sanded, and a buffing wheel on a Dremel went over most all of it.
The skate was filed pretty true and flat on the bottom over its length. That's important obviously. Same with the fence. The fit of the iron on the skate tweaked a little.
I chucked the Rosewood knob on the drill press to quickly sand the knob, Teak oil and a bit of shellac.
Then a liberal dose of wax over the whole plane and buffed off.
Color pictures await another couple blades and the maiden voyage of plowing some grooves for a couple doors...
Take care, Mike
