you've got some interesting videos young man. Ive got a bunch of antique tools & some anvils etc i cleaned up & wiped WD40 on them but i don't have faith in it & Im certain the vaseline is the answer. Once i reconditioned some ancient horse harness with it.
That plate your using as a base to flatten your stones on, it looks to me like it is a cast iron lapping plate. If its not I'd be very surprised ! If if it's still flat it's the perfect thing for flattening stones, thats what it's, made for anyway, flattening things.

Thank you Bill and Sarah, I've been using water stones and diamonds to flatten them but am getting very tempted to try oil stones now
Thanks bill hope you’re keeping well
Just getting older, everything aches thank you
Thanks Bill

I like the saw backs. Are they all going to become plane bodies?
I intend to when I get round to it.
I have just taken Bill a cup.of tea and he is marking out angles for a brass back plane
