    Glad I found this tonight, I have been clearing out my late dad's shed today and found a few old Stanley tools including a Bailey plane. This video will be so helpful, as is the link to find the age of the plane. I've got a few vintage woodworking tools that I've picked up over the years, just getting round to sorting and restoring them. Enjoy your videos greatly. Stay safe and well, Brian

    Restoring an old plane is a great way to get a superb tool for not much money. I paid about the same for my mid to late 50's Record No4. It's at least 60 years old and works as well now as it did when new.

    • @RagnBoneBrown
      @RagnBoneBrown  7 років тому +1

      I agree, they're excellent tools and seem capable of lasting a lifetime - can't say that for a lot of today's products

  • @TomeOfKnowledge74
    @TomeOfKnowledge74 6 років тому +2

    Nice video, and good job! I would like to make one point, specifically on flattening the sole. The sole was not flattened properly because of the way you attached your sandpaper with clips, which raised the front and back edges of the MDF. That is why the front and back of your plane were scratched, but not the middle. The MDF had flexed, very likely resulting in a rounded sole.

    Brilliantly explained and takes some of the mystique out of restoring older planes. I am waiting for Faithfull to relist their wooden plane totes when an old Stanley no.4 with a plastic handle and a new Record no.5 with a similar handle can be restored to look like a real plane. Great video and a big thumbs up.

  • @terrorfirma2764
    @terrorfirma2764 7 років тому

    Great video. Perfect timing for me as I've just bought an old joiners toolbox full of old treasures. It had a no. 3, 4, 41/2, 5, 51/2, 6 and 7 as well a shoulder plane and plough plane plus a couple of old hand saws. This little lot will keep me busy for a while. Love the channel, keep up the good work.

    If you find a couple pieces of thin wood (shims) and cut them so they're roughly 15-18mm wide by 125-150mm long by 2-2.5mm thick. Get some 220 grit and lightly apply some spray adhesive so that the sandpaper adheres to the stick evenly without random high spots/bubbles. That way you can easily/evenly sand the frog seat and both sides of the throat. Great video. 😀

    Hello, just discovered and subscribed. I like to restore old hand tools and one thing I Luke to do is use low voltage electrolysis to remove rust. Basically an old phone charger and salt water. It's readily found on Google. A lot of detectorists use this.
    Then you can see where just some polishing or where you need to get aggressive.
    Good job on that tool!

    Nice video. Got a couple Stanley planes from my grandfather that are awaiting a restoration so won't request your spare but the vid was very useful. Got a super long one (can't remember the no.) that has Made in the USA embossed on it. In the past I've always sanded rather than planed but it's cool to see how often you use yours.

    good video . ive just done a bailey 4, bailey 3 , record 4. all oicked up from a bootsale fir an average of 3 pounds each. bees wax on the handle after oil works great. if you scrape the old laqure with the blunt side of a flat screwdriver it comes off easily with no scoring.

    Thanks for posting the video Keith. Ironically I bought an almost identical no.4 plane on eBay last week! Not needed as much TLC as yours as I paid a little bit more. I used the bench/belt sander to flatten the sole and sides with 80grit. Just need to do the wooden handle now (the innards are ok) so I'll use your method.
    Thanks also for the link to find out how old the plane is I'm interested to find out.
