I just wanna say I've been searching so long trying to find anyone who holds a candle to my mechanics(since there is some time between his uploads :( ) and you are by far the best I've found. Most people don't powercoat, don't block sand, don't mill new parts. Really impressed and love that feeling of "well he should probably do it this way" and then you do(or another better way!) Keep up the great work!
That turned out amazing, a tool that needed some TLC, got it, and will now last a lifetime for the next generation. I always admire the work you guys do. Excellent job.
I believe your restoration is so precise that you raise it to an art form. So beautiful! Being able to mill the parts needed is a huge help. Congratulations on this tool.
Spectacular restoration of the hand router. It really makes you think how far we have come with power tools! I imagine furniture makers using this tool to create edges on drawers, wardrobes etc in the late 19th and early 20th century. How much time and precision it must have taken to produce a piece. You are bringing the world of hand woodworking back for us all to appreciate. Just wonderful!
I bought one of these in 1979. I was a 1st year apprentice workshop joiner. Now retired,I still have it. A fantastic tool. In Scotland we called it a Granny Tooth. You did a fantastic job 👍
Regardless of the original finish, you have done a superb job on this iconic tool. The one I restored had a nickel finish. The depth rod has a 1/4-24 thread, not a common size here either. I use it for furniture repair and restore. The cutters are available from Lee Valley here in the U.S. for about $20. Used ones on E-Bay cost around $60. I replaced all the hardware with hard brass with walnut handles (my personal touch). Your restores are all beautiful, please continue to post them. (And don't worry about them being different, that is your personal touch!) Thanks for another awesome restore.
In the UK carpentry trade these were lovingly calling a "grannies tooth" I still use my dads to this day, its an invaluable tool for doing blind mortises.
mymechanics and COOL AGAIN are two of my favorite restorers. Your lathe and milling skills stand out along with your tool and technique usage. But it's the attention to detail that also stands out. Who else makes custom tools just for one item, one project? Both of you. Well done Sir 👏
Beautiful job as always. Love the attention to detail and the fact that you are able to actually make missing or damaged pieces in your non-industrial level little shop is seriously impressive.
I'm not sure what I'm most impressed about, the beautiful restorations you do or the fact that you react to basicly every single comment on your videos. That's true dedication there! Really glad that I found your channel, keep up the amazing work!
When I was an apprentice carpenter and joiner, many years ago, these types of planes were known as "Granny Tooth Planes" because grannies didn't have many teeth. lol, Great job restoring it.
You definitely created a beautiful tool in the end. Very nice attention to detail. Having said that, it’s hard as a die hard Stanley collector to see someone remove finish and powdercoat an antique. Removing the casting marks takes away the character. A quick google search will show those knobs are NOT original and Stanley used a lot of rosewood back in the day that loved a nice bit of wax rather than thick lacquer. While beautiful, restorations like these strip away the history and character from an old tool and just turn them into something new. Having said that, you are very talented and do very nice work.
Exactly. He made just a good new tool out of a historic item. Those casting marks tell a story about how it was made, to bad he removed them. Knobs are to shiny now.
In the car enthusiast world they call this a "resto mod" - I guess making something old into a like-new, somewhat improved version of an item. Certainly not a restoration. The varnish is awful for a good tool handle in my opinion. I think boiled linseed oil would have been nicer and more useful. From your collecting, can you tell me what the two chamfered holes in the tool base are for? Some kind of accessory mount provision? Also, in use does the plane get used in either direction: pushing and or pulling? Thanks!
I seen many people that pulled and pushed this tool. I don’t know exactly when you can do that. Because I saw a woodworker who only pulled the tool when he want to obtain a nice finish. Probably depend on what job you do . That 2 holes are for fences. This tool came with 2 fences that help to guide the tool when you have a specific job to do 👍
I have only been watching for a short time and I am fascinated by your efforts! This is much more enjoyable then watching television.. Thank you for doing this for us.
Just a tip from someone with a metallurgy background, when using sandpaper to clean a surface, turn the component you are sanding 90° between each step. Makes it extremely easy to see when you have removed all previous sanding marks, and it will actually speed up the process immediately. I used to get down to a 0.02 micron mirror finish this way, and it was relatively quick.
Hi! Yeah, I know the theory and I know why is used like that but is hard to have nice footages for the video and making correct work. I think I made some turning to 90 degree from 120 to 150 grit

Nice to see this old plane restored. The old Stanley tools were as much works of art as they were practical tools. I have several that I inherited from my grandfather who was a master carpenter. They are still fine tools and very usable and much superior to the low quality imported junk from some far east countries.. Thanks for your patience and fine work.
What an amazing job. You need to be not so hard on yourself. You can only work with the materials you have available and replacing parts that were not original anyway made the tool so much more pleasing to the eye and functional. The hand router is a very fine tool to have in your tool collection making you the envy of many a woodworker and I am certain that Stanley would be very please to see how beautifully you restored their tool.
That is a beautiful restoration. The attention to detail is what makes this tool BETTER than new. I'm sure your tollerances a more precise than the original plane.
Ya know, while I will never stop loving the look of old, weathered wood and metal with a bit of patina, along with the imperfections that come from the casting process, this was a beautiful restoration. Good job.
Shed your intrepidations, Stanley, given the chance, would duly salute your efforts. Absolutely stunning. I have one of those, a tad younger, but of a non powered era, and will now revere it with new light. Mike.

“my mechanics” is in a similar league. Got to this channel because of him, and never regretted it once to also subscribe to Cool Again Restaurations 😃
Thank you very much @mediocre man 😊👍
This is a stunning restoration. My Dad was a boat builder so there were tools like this in his workshop. Thanks for showing us this beautiful tool.
Thank you very much and glad you liked it 😊
You are a master man of restoration, well done ..
Thank you very much Michael 😊
I didn’t believe that any channel held a candle to My Mechanics. I’m starting to believe otherwise. The element that has made him the pinnacle of restorations, aside from his tools, is his uncompromising attention to detail. You have risen to that echelon! You have a new subscriber, and that sir is the greatest compliment I can give, because I subscribe to precious few. Bravo!
Thanks a lot Curtis! Like I said , I will try my best to delight you 😊
What a beautiful restoration. You have been so sensitive in your decisions and the restored router is just lovely.
Glad you liked it Peta 😊

A very nice job restoring the router plane, it looks better than the day Stanley would have made it.
Thank you very much Artemus 😊
This has to be one of the finest restorations I have seen on UA-cam. And I watch a LOT of restoration videos. Outstanding.
Lovely words 😊 thank you very much 😊
