Default 21st Century Iron..

I bought one a while back, but had never used it..using a Top Flite with the coating worn off.

Well on my most recent plane I decided to whip it out.

And I don't know if it's because my calibration is off due to the different curves or what, but this is absolutely the WORST covering job I've ever done.

The sock wore thru and got kinda grungy, so I pulled it off...and the bag full of socks for the Top Flite won't fit. An old tee shirt made the sacrifice, but I tell ya, this plane looks like it was covered by a blacksmiths anvil.

The good news (?) is it has quite a few hours on it..many of them just running while I cried over the results...just kidding. I finished the plane using it..hoping my results would get better with practice. I need more practice.
