G'Day,
Greetings from the USA.
I have decided to Metal Scrape an imported hand plane that i bought new for less than $10 USD, just for the fun of it.
I'm going to give the project away after it's completion.
If you like metalwork and you have never seen metal scraping being performed or it's result, i would recommend taking a look at youtube under hand scraping or Biax Scraping. like this great, but lengthy, video:

the video inspired me to do the same thing , with a lesser quality plane that was more dimensionally challenged.
some pictures for the interested!

HF33 2.jpg this picture left shows the poor contact, illustrating the initial rub on my surface plate
HF33 3.jpg this pic was taken after the first scraping cycle, there was instant improvement- contact on 4 points
Here are pictures taken as the process improves the flatness of the planes face:

the pictures below illustrate the use of a 1" ball bearing being utilized to apply the force of the vice jaw to the plane without damage.

i did make a youtube video that is redundant of the pictures you have seen here, only put to music.
