    Just started a restore/refinish of my newly acquired Record 05 1/2 jack plane. Instead of trying to match the “record blue’ paint, I am thinking of using a hammered copper Rustoleum paint.

    Here are the “before” images. … Robin HC

    What method are you planning to use for rust removal?  Evaporust?  Electrolysis?  Elbow grease?

    I love evapo-rust but it is pricey to use alone.  After some experimentation, I like to start with sandpaper and wire brush to get most of the rust off. Then I finish the rust off with an overnight soak in evapo-rust. This way the evapo-rust lasts much longer.

    I understand what you mean about the cost of Evaporust.  I’ve used it in the past and it seems to work pretty well.  But, I’m going to try the Electrolysis soon.

    Can’t wait to see your progress.  I have read good things about evaporust but have yet to try it.

    I used, and liked a lot, just leave it over night, rinsed with water ,negative effect  metal looks black but wiped with regular scouring pad  (Scotch -Brite  for example)and it’s shiny again. I used with planes(2), saw blade, combination square , drill bits. Use the fluid  and drained back to jar till next time, don’t forget to filtrate to remove particle of rust .It’s coast only 11$ from Lee Valley but look on this one like long time investment)))your hands will tell you Thank you)))

    Here are some photo updates.  Rust removal is finished except for the “to be lapped” surfaces. Plane body primed with Rust-oleum Rust Reformer.

    Stripped the finish of the handle and knob. I refinished them with some Watco Fruitwood Danish Oil. Now I am spending a lot of time flattening the back of the blade iron.  As old as this plane is, I do not think this was ever done for it before.

    Still deliberating on what paint to use for the bed/body/bottom … (What is the proper term for big heavy iron part of a bench plane anyway?)  Should I go bold with hammered copper or fire engine red?  Or, should I play it safe with hammered black or black enamel?

    I’m embarrassed when I look at my stanley no. 7 after seeing all your shiny old tools lol.   When I received my no.7 all I did was wipe all the dirt and crud off it, replaced the blade with a new one and put it to work 🙂
