MJ the Stanley #95 I purchased from you works like a charm. Thanks again. Listen guys if you want to buy older planes MJ is the guy to go to. Packed right and sent quick.
I went over $50 on it but I’m not worried about losing money on the deal. The No7 sold already so I’m well on my way to making back when I spent - and I’ll have plenty of planes and parts left over after that.
You forgot to mention the most redeeming quality of that second Bailey #5 . That beautiful smooth sole . After all they are FAR superior to those others with the funky lines in them , which I hear was just a big gimmick . Lol
Pretty cool, I think you did fine here. I have a #6 sized Craftsman identical to the #7. It was the last plane I bought locally. It is in pretty nice shape, didn't take much. Everything else I see locally now is missing too much or broken in some way but they ask for useable condition prices! I am very pleased with the ones I have bought from you, they didn't need much attention at all. Thanks, MJ!
It stinks to live in a tool desert. Even here in Virginia they can be tough to find so I too end up having to buy stuff online mostly. Too bad we can’t all live in the Northeast where old tools are abundant.
Well, doesn't the Millers Falls blade and chip breaker that you found on the Bailey #5 fit that Millers Falls #8? All these seem dirt cheap to me... some day these will all be recognized as priceless 👍
Great video as always, MJ, very enjoyable and informative! I’m sure you’re already aware, but I can confirm that the Craftsman block plane was definitely made by Stanley. Love those English 220s.
Thanks Ian! And thanks for watching. This video was fairly easy to do and a few folks seem to have benefited from it. I’m thinking maybe I’ll do some more like it
Just watched this on the app on the TV and rushed upstairs to leave a comment. Thanks so much for the insights from a picker's perspective, they were interesting and informative and I might need to adjust some of my pricing expectations 👍 One quick question if you have the time, the Millers Falls lever caps having basically no value seems odd to me. Is it just because of the dominance of Stanley brand recognition in the marketplace or is there actually something sub-par about them? Not just theoretically {?} _meh_ like the hollow back. I actually like the style of them quite a bit and if I were rebuilding my Frankenplane no. 5 I'd see fitting one of these as a definite upgrade over the Ross lever cap that I have currently installed 😁Honestly the Ross does work just fine, I just hate seeing it LOL
I have a 60 1/2 like that brown one u were showing but mine is a light bluish color, do u kno around when that one was made, THANX again for the videos
The blue ones were made in the 1960s. For bench planes, the type 20s were made from 1962-1967. Stanley’s other planes (block planes and rabbet planes) were also blue
Michael, what’s the email for sending you pics about the Sargent 79 plane casting? You never said btw, is there a version of the Sargent casting that has the adjustable lever for the rear blade? Also can solid yokes on Stanley planes be swapped into later split yoke models? Thanks, Jeff🇨🇦🇺🇸
I still need to look that up about the Sargent rabbet planes. I don’t know off the top of my head. I’m 90% sure the earlier yokes will fit on a later model. Probably just need to use the later pin as it may be a different diameter
Thanks for that MJ . I'm in Australia and found one at a markets , which is rare over here for a US made one. Now I know it must be a type 13 , both the tote and handle are broken so I'm not sure if it's a good buy. 👍

Thanks Bill! Aim High & Semper Fi!

Love seeing these videos makes me feel like I bought the lot 😂
This was a fun one to put together. I might do more like this when I acquire decent stuff in the future
I would've paid no more than $50 if that would've been me. Great video. I really like that Craftsman No 7.

How dare you!
Oh wait, we can’t all be so enlightened…
Corrugated FTW!

Did you sell the Craftsman?
Well, doesn't the Millers Falls blade and chip breaker that you found on the Bailey #5 fit that Millers Falls #8?

If I recall correctly, the MF No8 size is a No3 equivalent so it should be smaller than the No5
The reason these old tools aren’t priceless is because they were produced in such large quantities
Great video as always, MJ, very enjoyable and informative! I’m sure you’re already aware, but I can confirm that the Craftsman block plane was definitely made by Stanley. Love those English 220s.
Thanks! The video helped me move that block plane along to its next home. Yay!
Interesting video. Regarding the Stanleys, would you know if the lever caps were chrome or nickel plated? Thank you.
Should be nickel
@@justplanefun Excellent. Home DIY nickel plating is quite possible. Thanks. 👍
This was very useful. BatCave Creations just did similar and these were both very informative as I pare down my pile of acquisitions. See you on CIHI!

I’m gonna have to go back and listen to it again. If I said the Millers Falls lever caps were worthless, I definitely misspoke!

25:48 I bid $75 but not enthusiastically. TDMW as I’m not a flipper or a seller and no parts I need. Great info though. Thanks MJ!

Hey MJ , just wondering if you know what year or type a No 5 bailey plane with a Pat US and 1 date line under the Pat US . Thanks in advance.

Check out this video and see if it helps.
Thanks for that MJ . I'm in Australia and found one at a markets , which is rare over here for a US made one. Now I know it must be a type 13 , both the tote and handle are broken so I'm not sure if it's a good buy. 👍
Is 330 an actual grit? I thought it was 320.
Depends on the manufacturer I reckon. I’m pretty sure I have some of both.
Do you have a website?

cool plane
The Craftsman 7 and the Stanley T18 No5 weren’t too bad. I’m looking forward to seeing em go back to work
Hopefully not much....
I may have paid a bit too much but definitely not so much that I’ll lose money on the resale
