Stanley "Brothers In Arms" Hand Plane Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Join the ride as I carry out my first hand plane restorations. I picked up these two Stanley Planes, a no 4 & no 5 1/2, reasonably cheaply. They will become users and I especially needed/wanted a number 5 1/2. They were both severely corroded and took some cleaning up to get them to a working condition.

Nothing sweeter than listening to a sharpened blade in a plane making curls..❤️
Lovely restate, well done 👍🏼😊
In today's disposable society, it is very refreshing to see you restore these beauties. It takes a lot of work, but they are worth showing off their former glory. Great job Will. Keep the videos coming !
One of the better plane restoration videos on UA-cam. Several have folks going all honey badger with a wire wheel then spray painting the entire bed without respect for the frogs mating surfaces. Nicely done!
So nice to see someone taking the time to bring back to life the tools of the craftsman. Thank you, beautiful job!
The music brought me back to '60s tv detective shows. Nice vid, thanks.
Great work, I've restored a few in my time. Another two saved to work another day. The old tool collector.
wow, that is awesome that were able to salvage the tools, just goes to show how well they were made in the first place
Nice work! Two suggestions: tape the top edges of the plane body before painting (originals had paint free top edges); and repaint the orange field around "STANLEY" on the lever cap. And they look beautiful!
Fantastic restoration. Pulling an old plane back from a rusty death is so incredibly satisfying.
+Geeks Wood Shop thanks! Yes it is amazing and very satisfying!
I recently found a rusty plane and a rusty spoke shave. This video got me excited to clean em up
Awesome job. A word of advice from an old man. Never put down a plane on its blade. Put it down sideways, that way you not only protect the blade but also the surface you put it on to.
Ahhhhh that truly was the perfect soundtrack for a tool restoration. Nice job!
+Ea ten Kate thanks for the feedback! I struggle with the music choices!
@@WillMatthews FYI - all the videos you have sans soundtrack are so much better
My wife's family is from OZ! If anyone deserved a sandblasting unit, it would be YOU!! If you don't get one, I will buy one for you the next time we are in Perth!! NO joking!! Brilliant channel and videos BTW!!
Two very badly treated very well made planes lovingly restored to a very high standard giving them a new lease of life well worthy of my 5 ☆ rating
Those shavings in the end are reward enough. Well done on a beautiful restoration!
Haha, so when it fell out of the vice I instinctively moved my feet out of the way. Great video man.
Fantastic restoration... to really finish it, flatten the soles on that granite slab!
love the vibe of the music as you worked..i find these videos relaxing..and to see the finish tool..better than new..these od tools need to live another day...great job..btw.."Brothers in Arms" is my favorite song by Mark Knopfler(Dire Straits)....
Thanks mate for watching! Yes it is a good song :)
Beautiful, I was afraid you weren't going to take a shaving with it at the end, but this video was exactly was I was hoping for - loved the use of the electrolytic tank for the rust removal.
Ripper job dude. Just a heads up though, when grinding or sanding the sole of your planes, even on a belt grinding station with a plate, more material will be removed from the toe and heal than from the centre of the sole. You end up with a convex base which will end up dishing out your job! Try them on your granite block with some W&D to see if they're flat enough for your liking. They should also be lapped in planing configuration, not as a naked sole like you did. The tensioning of the frog and the pressure of your hands on the knob and tote can flex the sole out of flat, resulting in more dicky planing.
But if you're happy with your shavings and you aren't woodworking for NASA, they're probably good enough.
Also, if I ever find a hand plane whilst diving in Port Philip Bay, I'll send it your way for a resto. TOP JOB!
+Dion Caramalis thanks for the feedback Dion. Yeah I've got a piece of granite that I can use to lap. And have done in the past. It's so time consuming and as you say, I'm getting what I want out of my hand planes. Cheeds
You do a fantastic job restoring tools! Great stuff my friend!!
+Wood And Screw appreciate the kind words
Nice video! I'm nor sure if you've every tried it, but Birchwood Casey gunstock oil does a fantastic job of finishing plane totes/knobs.
WOW beautiful job, loved the ribbons they cut.
Will Matthews strikes again, another superb job
Mate, great resto. I love old planes. Great to see two more resurected.
Awesome Restoration. I have an old one that I am going to try as well. Good patience and good work. Thanks.
There’s something really satisfying about watching your videos, great job.
Nice work, the brass screw in the handle look real nice
BEAutifully done!! Now to put them to work!
great Job they are beautiful.I have done several.I use white distilled vinegar to soak.Works well just takes longer than electrolasis.
Molasses is another good one.
Wow, that's an absolutely fantastic job of restoration.
beautiful work. thanks for saving me a seat on this ride.....
Nice job. I don't agree with putting a plane on a linisher though. I'd do it manually on a flat surface, as you did with the blade. But the electrolysis method of rust removal is amazing. The end result is pretty impressive. All the more so when you look at the originals.
Kind of surprised the condition they were in. Good save.
I forgot, great music too, very relaxing.
What a joy to watch! Amazing job! Makes me wanna get my hands on some super rusty planes.
Superb job @Will Matthews - how do you move your hands that fast @ 8:17?
Gonna go find my old hand planes and get to work now that you've inspired me...
If you want to "paint" planes closer to the way they were originally done. Try (2) parts liquid asphaltum to (1) part Gloss Spar Varnish. Paint on and let it dry overnight. Touch up any spots that are necessary and let dry overnight. Then put the planes and parts in the oven and run it up to 250°F for 1 hour. Then roll up to 350° for one hour. Then roll up to 450° for one hour. Shut off the oven and let them cool naturally in the oven. The finish looks great and is damn near bulletproof. Give it a shot on a couple old wrenches or something.. You'll see.
This looks like a very satisfying project. I also enjoyed the video shot composition, editing, and choice of music. Please keep up the good work!
Great restoration and loved the music! Sounded a bit like Mission Impossible (original series, incidental music).
Very well done and beautiful job.
what i like about your restoration videos that you restore stuff, and Actually use it,
Very good restoration job 👍👍👍👍
Awesome I bet it was satisfying to plane that piece of timber after all the hard work!
Ben Deneen yeah always satisfying at the end of a project when it works out!
Absolutely stunning!
+Jasonian thank you!
beautiful work.
I have just watched your vidio,it was a nice vidio to view,and you certainly did a excellent job bringing those two planes back from the dead,I like refurbishing old tools that were very well made,but have been badly neglected,I used to get a huge amount of pleasure making them look like new,im sure you get the same kick ot of it too,well done and deserves a well earned thumbs up.
Nice job 👏 👏👏👏👏👍👍
love to see you restore some kind of old wooden mantle or grandfather clock...or maybe even an old wooden radio

Quality tools like this are always worth the effort to restore. Look after them and they will last a lifetime. Far removed from todays twelve month warranty crap.
" Look after them and they will last a lifetime".......generations!
several lifetimes in fact if they are cared for and used properly.
Wow that’s fantastic.
Great Video. Thanks for sharing
Super job! They look great!
Amazing job! Some people would have a heart attack with you "removing the patina" by polishing any brass. Not me. The fresh, clean look is great. Does the electrolysis damage the japanning?
Beautiful job mate
MADE IN ENGLAND. So good to see!
What was the dark wood stain that you used?
Great Job Will, nicely done video and sound. but most of all the quality of your restoration. Critics aside (there's always a few!) you did a nice job and I appreciate your sharing and taking the time to do the work and the video' Thank you for a job well done.
Ellis C. Foley jr I’ve been a subscriber of his for almost two years and he hasn’t released a video in a year, is he ok? It’d be a shame if he wasn’t.
Very good restoration.
Fantastic work brother!
Jim: "Do you hear a buzzing sound?"
McCoy: "Why yes, and I thought it was just me."
Jim: "Red alert!"
Great job on these beauties!
Love these videos. Many thanks.
You're a beast!
Really very well done Will, looked like they had sat in a bucket and then had water part fill it and sat long enough to just start surface rust, nice catch before the pitting. Excellent video, well done mate.
Max Coromal yeah definitely had some good water on them or maybe left out in the weather? Thanks mate
Awesome job mate. Two thumbs up.
Dude .... Awesome !!! Seriously, nice job !
Thanks Jerry!
What a good restoration mate love it
that was so awesome great job
Wow!!!!! Amazing.
Beautiful
Nice, I wonder if it would have looked good with a textured paint.
Great job Will, fantastic videos mate.
what do you mean by Stanley “Brother in Arms” plane? Somewhat new to all of this.
Perfect
Hi,!
Beautiful work,
A
Can you answer 2 questions please, :
- - Is Stanley one the best plane?.
-- if I want just have one Plane, just for home working, which Stanley no. Will be best?.
Job well done!
Very very good
respekt from Russia!
Well done Great job
Nice job Will!!!!!
Amazing! Hugs from Argentina.
WELL done, mate!
+SideBurn thank you mate :)
good work!! wish you would have painted the yellow back around the stanley logo on the big one thought :P
Sheffield steel, best in the world.
Hi, you are doing a good job!
Here and there it needs more light in your videos.
It would also be good if you had a little more attention when processing the iron parts;)
It depends on the details,)
amazing video!!
Nice music and your work is Great!
I've gotta ask. Why did you intentionally leave the rust in the logo of the smaller plane? It's unlike you.
Btw, love your videos. Amazing work!
Maria Orosco That isn't rust. That's paint.
I've got the exact same plane. It's orange paint.
Your electrolysis step. Was that water, salt water, or something else? And which end did you connect to the piece, positive or negative?
+Sunshine_Shooter it's water and washing soda - sodium carbonate. I use one tablespoon per 4 liters of water. The negative is always connected to the work piece. Otherwise the work piece will gain rust :)
Sunshine_Shooter Thanks for asking this! I was curious about it as well.
work pieces is the metal parts of the plane or electrods around the basket? and what the electricity parameters (voltage and amperage)? thx
this is also interesting for me, Sunshine_Shooter please answer us
I’ve used water, salt and lemon juice before, still works well...
Great vid well done good sir. But what kind of wheels do you use to clean them up please ???? is it a wire wheel or something.... thank you. Cheers.
Ha Cool, Nice Job. I recently restored the exact same one no 4 for my dad! Except It was nowhere near as rusted as those ones. Its Funny cos He still has the original box, and on the box it says made in Australia, Yet clearly cast on the foot It says Made In England LOL.
Wayne Mahomet maybe the box was made in Australia.
Excellent presentation i subbed
I noticed that you used an antique screw driver. Is this made especially for working on hand planes? Does this tool have a special name? Thanks for the awesome video tutorial.
Wow good and satisfying video. And awesome some sound track. Can any buddy tell me the track name.......
Saawesome work, post more...
Damn you are good.
Beautiful work restoring that pair of nice old planes, if I may ask how did you redo the japanning on the planes?
good job....
from Italia
Você é o melhor...
I have always thought of trying Electrolysis instead of just brushing when working with rust.
