I did get around to the hand plane this week. Most of the rust and grot is off and now I need to lap the sole as best I can.
If there's still a bit of rust left somewhere . . . I don't actually care. It's a 1970s Canadian-made Stanley Craftsman plane, which means that it's effectively worthless. I just want it in good enough shape not to leave rust streaks on whatever I'm trying to plane. In five years or so, I expect I'll either have given up on woodworking or bought a higher-quality replacement.
(I also need to fix a chair, which I didn't quite get to today.)
