My next restoration project: Sargent model 1414 'HERCULES' Jack plane, manufactured from 1927 to 1949. Although at the time it was marketed as a low to mid-range 'homeowner' model, the quality is on par, if not above, many top line models of today. This lovely example is only suffering from a few decades of neglect, and should be a fine addition to my daily bench tools. I'll keep ya posted. 😎
