Stanley Hand Planes and hand plane parts - on the topic of suitable substitutes!

This video highlights just a few of the ways and places you can substitute a screw or bolt from one plane to use on another.
What are your favorite suitable substitutes?

I agree with James Harris and I am sure there are LOTS of us out there. The comment about the «Holy Grail» kinda cracked me up. 😋

[@jasonhoward4967]

Good tips. Thanks

[@justplanefun]

Thanks for watching!

I finally subbed. Great content so far. I'm sure your channel will explode. I'll try to share your videos whenever possible. 👍🤙

For the tote screw I've had success using a 12-24 brass machine screw. They fit tightly and hold the tote fine and I kinda like the look of the brass on the wood.

[@janetflecher2683]

I'm glad you are addressing the fact that Stanley used a lot of proprietary screws. And one option is for a lot of these screws, have a machinist single point a screw you can use. It will not be right, but for a user? It may be the best choice.

[@justplanefun]

Depending on how much the machinist charges, absolutely. Maybe have them make a few since set-up is often the longest part

This video should be titled " You know you're screwed when the parts guy is stealing from Peter to pay Paul." Great Video as always Mr. Jenks.

Thanks!

[@hartleymartin]

Just borrow the screw off your No.1 for your router plane fence! HA!

[@justplanefun]

Might have to add a few washers though. 😅

[@paulwhite485]

hey that 78 looks familiar :)

[@justplanefun]

That orange paint is hard to miss!

Hi: Have just purchased a Stanley 45 combo & the pin for the blade adjustment screw is missing. How would you go about a replacement pin. What would you use and how would you fix ?

[@justplanefun]

You should be able to either carefully punch or carefully drill out the broken piece of the old pin. Then put a blunted nail or other type of straight pin in place.
If you run into problems, I have whatever replacement parts you could ever want for a No45. If you had to, you could replace just the main body

[@ralphhenderson6086]

Do you do woodworking videos

[@justplanefun]

I’ve done a few things here and there but it’s tough to break into that market since there are SO many other guys & gals doing it, and doing it well. I’m kinda staying mostly in the Stanley history and tool parts genre for now
