Yesterday I received 2 old gouges bought on fleabay, and spent an hour in the evening sorting them out. They've come up rather well, despite someone putting a back-bevel on the 3/4". Today, I've received a nice Record no 5-1/2, which I've bought for my son in law. I shall be tiffling with it this evening.....a good clean up, flatten the sole, clean up the tote, and sharpen the iron. I'm rather pleased with it, and in an hour or two, it will work like a charm.
