Hearing you describe why you decided to restore the tool and how’s its going to be restored to do work as opposed to show off on a shelf is why I subscribed.
Thanks for the great insights into your care of these precious tools. I inherited a No. 6 from a dear old friend who passed on several years. He was a real craftsman, an import from Denmark... "my Great Dane!" I'm going to honor him with the same treatment of this old No. 6 as you did with your No. 5. I really appreciate the information and I know Peter would be pleased.
Of the many restoration videos I’ve watched, this one is definitely among the very best. Great job!
Ive literally watched 100 of these videos on plane restoration and this by far is my favorite. Thank you for sharing. Also jealous you have your grandfathers old plane.
Dblood85 I agree, this one is my favorite too. I wish I had my grandfather’s as well. My best friends gave me their grandfather’s though! Very excited to restore them.
My boss gave me an old plane he got from his father on his 18th birthday and hes been teaching me carpentry for a year now really happy to receive it
Sweetness man! Love seeing a tool come back to life. we should do a collab some time.
Wood By Wright that would be awesome! 😀
oh yes, we definitely need to. I wanted to have something planned for your trip here but I have been so crazy busy after I quit my job trying to get stuff in order. We will hopefully talk when you are here and get something planned.
Looking forward to hanging out. I will be there Thursday and Friday.
It is my dream to become woodworker :) and leave the current job as programmer. But issue is how to get enough money to live?:)
BDW good job!
commission work is the fastest way to a paycheck. it takes years but most people can eventually do it.
I have a few 100 year old Stanley's and a few sweetheart era ones to love them, its a great buzz to use a tool that is so old
I just found an old No 5 Stanley plane of my grandfather’s - thank you for this!!
So glad I found your channel and “hung around” for the extras.
I love Renaissance wax. If it’s good enough for priceless museum pieces, it’s good enough for anything I do.
Thanks so much for this clear, concise tutorial! Definitely got me very inspired as I went out to a couple of antique stores and found two Stanley planes (a No. 4 and a No. 6, type 15) to restore using your methods. I may have to restore/remake one or more of the totes, as one is especially in bad shape, but otherwise, it's going to be a great start into hand tool woodworking! Thanks again!
Thank you so much for sharing, especially the extras at the end. I am restoring a Stanley No. 5 now and it looks pretty much exactly like your grandfathers. Your plane looks amazing!
I agree with you on Restoration. I'm working on a Craftsman #5 equivalent that I'm going to make walnut handles for and paint the black areas olive drab. Why? Because its MY plane.
Great job.
Matt Ezell, how did your Craftsman resto turn out? I just found a Craftsman that belonged to my Grandfather and I’m in the middle of bringing it back into working condition. He didn’t have an antique collection nor would he approve of his tool sitting idly by in disrepair. If you have any resources for dating the antique Craftsman planes please message me! Only marks are the letters BL after made in USA on the cutting iron, and some stamped letters in the red frog. 14+” long, black porcelain like finish, flathead fasteners, two handles, cap iron has an oval recess with blue field and raised Craftsman logo when the C looked like a bolt head. Oval Craftsman sticker towards the toe of the plane, raised made in USA ahead of the frog, smooth sides and bottom, on the rear handle has a raised mount, besides that everything is smooth. Any information would be much appreciated!
You rebel :)
I found one also at a yard sale. The front knob was split where someone over the years overtightened it. I took a piece of walnut and turn it close to the original and made this thing usable again. I am with you in that it was mine and I wanted to make it usable again. They are great tools you can find and I really can't afford what they want for some of these new ones so I look for these ones at sales.
You and me both. If it's more than $5 then it's out of my price range.
Thanks for producing a functional rather than artistic restoration video
This video inspired me. I restored my first Stanley No. 5 this weekend. It was a lot of fun. Now I’m looking for the plane setup video you mentioned. Keep up the good work!
Oh great a new obsession for me.. Hand Planes!
I really enjoyed this man, I’m inspired to bring some old planes and chisels back to life, namely my Grandfather’s!
I'm currently mid way through restoring my grandfather's plane also, never restored anything before so a very handy video!
I completely agree, a tool used is a million times better than a tool that is showcased as one of the many in a collection only. God bless and may your kids and their kids appreciate your knowledge and passion
Great work man! I can’t believe you were able to salvage that handle and make it look brand new. Pretty cool about all the history and seeing that plane work just as well as it did 100 years ago! Keep it up!
Thanks buddy! Its always REALLY rewarding giving life back to these old tools
I have been a subscriber for quite a while now, but I've never commented. I did not know about the different versions of the Stanley plane. But I'm glad I do now. I have several old Stanley planes and other makes as well. The more information one can learn about the tools that he/she owns, I think the more important they become to him or her. Thanks for sharing your talent and experience.
Hi Jesse, first of all thank you so much for the support, and i am glad you decided to leave a comment! I always love hearing from subscribers and am glad this video had some useful information for you :)
I found a no 4 hand plane yesterday and needs to be restored and your tips and tricks will help me out. Thank you
Chris, awesome job! You said everything that comes to mind as I restore mine. Love this video, thanks for the knowledge about Stanley history!
Thanks Frank. Much appreciate brother and thanks for watching!
So satisfying to watch this, more tool restorations!
Thanks Colin, I do have a couple of those in the works. I have a couple of slicks that need some love and new handles, and also a carpenters Adze that I will be converting into a bowl carvers adze.
So satisfying seeing a fine tool come back to life. Nice!
I’m with you mate, I have nearly 20 old bailey and stanley planes I have acquired over the last 45 years, I use hand planes daily, they would all get used at least once every couple of months, even some of the obscure plough and moulding planes, I just love them. Keep up the restoration work, the haters will not be around in 100 years to critique the work you are doing now but the plane will be to reveal its history!
That thing looks great, Chris! Nice job explaining it all.
Thanks my man! I appreciate you checking it out :)
Nice job Chris on the plane, good on you for saying that you restore these tools to use them, I agree 100% no point restoring something to have it sit in a cupboard.
I’m definitely going to be coming back to this video when I get a hold of my great grandfather’s hand planer
Good video. Agree with your philosophy regarding restoring planes. Restoring user quality planes is an OK thing to do. I've restored many and use them.
This was terrific. I feel the same way about restoring tools: their purpose is to be used. Great presentation.
Awesome video! Some time ago I chose the Stanley Bailey type 11 plans to start my own set of planes for using. I haven't started restoring any of them yet, but this is the info that I've needed to get started on them!
I just inherited a No 5 type 11 plane from my grandfather, I'm planning on restoring it. This video was very helpful, thanks!
Picking up a new-to-me No. 4 on Saturday. This video will be referenced heavily while restoring. Thanks for the content.
I just bought an old Stanley H1204 and 1203. Thanks for making this gude.
Thank you for this. My dad has an old Stanley No 5 he's giving me. It needs love.
Nice video - just an FYI - the raised circle you allude to at 15:42 would be called a 'boss'.
You do an excellent job of explaining what you are doing.
Thanks for this video! I just picked up a couple of planes at a yard sale last weekend and I'm planning on using this method to restore them. I did have a question about floating glass. That's not something I have in my shed. Will I cause damage if I use my workbench or table saw top?
Great job on the resto! Luster.. what a great word.
sometimes I get out the thesaurus
When I saw those dates I got excited!
All I need is a No 5 to complete my user set of T 11s. Later on I'll find a No 2 and an 8, but 3-7 will be my main users.
And oh yeah, SUBBED!
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!
Using electrical tape to fasten the broken tote pieces together while drying works well too. You can really control how tight it's holding and at which angle you need it tightened. Great video! The plane turned out very nice.
Just found my dads old handplane. Will probably try this soon thank you !! You're channel is awesome!
Perfect timing! I just picked up an old Stanley Bedrock from an antique fair. Huge fan of your channel!
Thanks so much Patrick. I would really like a bedrock and will be talking about those a little in the "how to set-up and hand plane video"
It worked out nicely. Thumb up and subscription, thanks for the video!
Excellent video for me! Good tips! Always great to see you Utz and you too Chris! 😀😀😀😀
Wait, round all the edges!? Nice! Why didn't I think of that? Genius. Love your videos!
Great info Chris. I love seeing a ratty old plan restored to it's former glory. There's something almost therapeutic about giving new life to old neglected tools.
absolutely! They were meant to be handled and used!
Very nicely done. I have restored a couple planes and am now moving on to my Dad’s saws. All will be users when I am done. Thanks for a good “restore to use” video.
Chris, I inherited the "Family Hand Tools" that dates back to the early-1600s. My grandfather left them to me I think because he and I had a very special bond. He started teaching me about woodworking when I turned ten and he gave me my own workbench that is still in my shop today. It was his grandfather's which made it even more special to me. He set it up in my own nook of his shop and every opportunity I had I was with him working in his/our shop. The family handtools came mostly from Ireland and England along with a few handmade plows and molding planes that were made over the years. My ancestor who came to America was a cabinet maker and it became a tradition that the eldest son would carry on the trade and inherited the tools. That tradition was only broken two times when one of my great, great Aunts received them and now I have them. Whenever I make something for a family member I used those tools in the making of the item. And I burn the family crest into it that I had made up so they would know that the family tools were used to make it. It is my way of keeping us all connected to our past. Heritage is important to me and always was even as a child. When I was 31 I backpacked around Ireland and Italy and walked the same streets my ancestors did. I met my 2nd cousin through Facebook and now we have gotten close. They hosted my nephew when he was in Rome on business and I facilitated that. I wanted him to meet our family there. We need to keep our young people connected to their past so they can appreciate the sacrifices our ancestors made so we could live the abundant lives we all have now. Sorry to ramble.
Wow what a really cool history! Very very special that you have those tools. Must feel great each time you use them!
I have been looking for something to use on a couple Hand Planes I picked up, That WD40 Rust Remover is a miracle maker! Thank you for showcasing that!
Great video thanks! Totally agree re your philosophy of restoration!
Great job on bringing your plane back to being useable! I use Renaissance Wax also and it's awesome stuff.
Same here, I restore old tools not for historical integrity, for my own use! Good job ✊
One of my hobbies is collecting and restoring old hand planes and the better ones I keep for myself and some I sell after restoring them. I have 8 block planes I bought in one lot and so I'll be starting on those in the next few years. I'm a history buff and love old tools of any kind but especially woodworking ones. My pride and joy are some very old tools that have been in my family since the 1600s when the first cabinet maker came to America to lead a better and freer life. (He would be turning over in his grave if he saw the state of our country now) But he built his own house and furnishings with those very tools and every eldest child after that. My Grandfather lite my passion for woodworking and I spent every visit with him in his shop. He had modern tools but favored the hand tools. He was a cabinet maker/furniture maker over his lifetime and loved the smell of his shop. It was a cross between his soap he used and the smell of whatever wood he was working with at the time. By 10, I started to use hand tools. By 12 I could take apart any hand tool, sharpen and clean it and it was ready for use again. I dissected tools with him and got to know how to get the most from the tools early on. This not only made me appreciate them but how to use them properly. By 14 I was using the newer tools. That would be the 22" bandsaw out in the wood storage area of the shop. Its a behemoth of a saw. But it is a beautiful piece of machinery too. The wheels spokes were wavy, and the blade huge compared to blades today and is in my shop now. My Grampa built a special cabinet of mahogany and glass to keep our Ancestors hand tools to keep them separate from his everyday planes. He did use them when he made gifts for our family members. I was very proud to be the first female in our family to inherit them. The male woodworkers in the family were happy for me and knew how close I was with him. They know I will take care of them until they get passed to the next generation of woodworkers. I have the original handmade toolbox that the first ancestor who came to the US carried them in, in the 1600s. I keep them in the cabinet my grampa built for them in my shop now. I had a special iron stamp made with the family crest on it and whenever I make a gift for a family member I stamp it so they know it was made with the family tools. We take our family history and honoring a person's wishes seriously and always have honored the wish for those original tools to stay within the family. Amazingly, not one relative has ever tried to sell them, which is amazing considering they are more than 400 years old! I thought I would share this story with you.
That looks gorgeous. Almost new.
Now you know what your doing.
Awesome vid. Got a Miller falls and Stanley for $15 talked down from $25. Google said miller-$80 Stanley-$60. Cleanin em up and agreeing with you that keeping, using and then giving is worth more.
Came across this video searching for plane restoration after finding one of my grandfathers old Keen Kutter K5 smooth bottom planes. It's a little beat up after years in a box in my dad's garage being moved and neglected. Looking forward to taking some of this info to bring it back to life.
This video is gonna help me tons. I have inherited my grandfather's planes. Unfortunately he passed before showing me how to use them all.
@Peter Talbot Here's a huge collection of woodworking plans: WoodSun. xyz
Cool video! Thank you for segmenting the video to have the technical stuff about the types at the end. Thats a good editing decision
Can’t wait to see the rest of the videos about the plane!
Thanks Jonathan. I hope they are also well received :)
Thanks a lot (from France) for this incredibly helpful video.
Nice work! Thanks!
"Dont like the way I restore it, too bad!" I LOVE IT!!! Too many naysayers out there. What good is a plane if it sits on a shelf getting dusty, taking up space, only to be passed on to someone else for profit? Like you, I restore mine: - I like it, I'm gonna use it, and it's mine!!! Awesome! So happens I am about to restore a No 5, Type 19 (I think). I just have to figure a way to grind out a chip (about 1/32") in the blade tip. Gonna have some sore arms and shoulders when I'm done grinding back a good cutting edge on it. Great job. Thank you!
I was restoring 3 planes today and didn’t realize I have a type 11 until I saw your video. Great videos by the way also watched the sharpening a blade one.
It's nice to find your video. You offered a ton of information that's not easy to find today. Thanks.
Great Job on the restoration - simple. easy to follow instructions without being too long
Very nice!! It was awesome to see you bring life back to an old, rusty tool! 🔨🔨 Oh, on another note, Tardis at 8:32. 😁
I love your dog.
I've got a number 6 with the 3 dates on it. This makes me want to get it tuned up. Great video!
You definitely should, you have a good one there!
Thanks a lot. it's a great help and very informative.
Beautiful job Chris! Very sweet find!
Thanks buddy. I definitely got REALLY lucky
Very good job son. It’s nice to see how much care you took to ensure all parts were set and working like they were supposed to. That wood really popped when you put the oil to it! Thanks for sharing and I really enjoyed watching this video. I also learned some things thru your instructions, thank you for that.
Hi becky, I am really glad you were able to learn something. Thank you for the continued love and support :)
This video is the one that got me to click the bell that I’m so stingy with! Great work man keep it up.
Super job and some great tips thanks 👍
Love this video! I’m restoring a Stanley #4 Type15 and also plan on using it until it’s passed onto a family member. Mine was purchased for $5.00 at a local salvage store....so crusted with dirt & rust you could barely make out the brand! Also missing it’s tote and front knob. I am making replacements myself but have to hunt down the hardware....and the bolts will probably cost more than the plane itself. 😆
Anyway, just wanted you to know I appreciate the knowledge you shared and really resonate with everything you said about why you’ve restored them for YOU.
I hit that bell. really looking forward to the next two video in this serious.
haha, thanks so much bud!
Wow. That was a great video, just what I was looking for. You did an excellent job restoring that plane. I have a half a dozen planes that need to be rehabbed. Time to get to work!
It sure is. I never get as involved as what's shown here. Still takes me about a half a day to clean up a beater though. So you got about a week's worth of work ahead of you with six to do.
I just pulled one of these from my Grandpa's tool collection - thanks!
Great video! Both informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work!
Amazing work!
Great video. Very useful information. Plane looks fantastic.
Great video! I was hoping to see one like this one as I have to restore mine!...Thanks!
Can't wait to see the video about setting up a plane
Have a couple of these from my Grandfather they need some TLC... and I appreciate the video on how to restore it...
That turned out Gorgeous man!! Great job.
Thankyou for this tutorial , really helpful. I have a collection that I am restoring now and this has helped massively. Thankyou
I love that tool! 😍
Well Chris, another great video. I know this is an older video, but it just popped up, so I had to watch.
I appreciate the attention to detail. You're quickly becoming my favorite woodworking channel.
Do It i was about to say the exact same thing
Thanks so much, that honestly means a lot to me. I have some really fun stuff planned, i hope you like it.
Thanks so much Tom!
Well done!
So awesome! I know of a few old No.6 planes at a antique store close by. I'll probably go pick one up and try to do this type of resto as well
The no 6 might be my favorite plane :)
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 is a stepchild. Most consider it too small to be a decent jointer. It's too big to be a bench jack though. I have a couple 6s and I really don't use them much myself.
Great choice for a series of videos. I have picked up a couple planes in my travels but I feel like I haven’t learned enough about planes or how to properly use them to start working on them. Keep up the good work and cant wait to see the other videos.
Thanks Luke, that is the exact intention for these videos is to help break down the intimidation and get people working with these awesome tools.
Great job on the plane, very impressed with your restoration skills, well done.
Nice, it’s Hand Tool Rescue with talking :). I have two of these from my father in law that need about the same amount of work, thanks for the video.
You will be very happy once you restore them. Its a very rewarding feeling bringing these old tools back to life
Great vid - well presented, informative and fun to watch. I'm embarrassed to admit it but tomorrow I'm going to attempt some restoration work (a bit of rust removal) from my Lie Nielsen 4 1/2 and No. 7 planes. They have had relatively little use and are perfect other than I stored them without properly protecting them with Camellia oil and had a heart attack when I went to use them recently. Many thanks and cheers from Sydney, Oz - Dave
I liked it! It looks great!
so helpful I am in the middle of restoring 5 that were left to me.. so this is great
The no 7 I am currently cleaning is a Bailey and it says Pat.March 25 02. Then underneath August 19
02. So dose that mean 1902?
Wow. Someone gave me that exact plane today and it's really rusty great advice dude
perfect timing haha
tip if you can't find stick back sand paper try skateboard tape. for a rough grit grip. you'll still have to use fine grit paper.
I searched for a plane restoration video because I just picked up a Bailey no.7 type 9. The toe on mine is broken off too so I'm thinking about flattening the top and making a new toe segment so seeing your refurb being very close to what I'm looking at was interesting.
