Enjoyed your video. You put a lot of effort into making it usable - but why did you not use brass for the tote nut? For pennies you could of bought a six inch piece. Still it looks great and functions well.
Lovely job. I buy broken planes for cheap to use for spare parts when needed, though I’ve made my share of emergency parts too. I’m pretty sure that Stanley used a custom or whitworth thread on their old bench plane and may be difficult to find (a whitworth tap and die set) these days. I have a type 9 no.3 plane, looks like yours is a type 9 as well. 👍
I think custom; I was looking everywhere for a 12-20 screw/bolt replacement for the frog and tote when I realized it would just be easier to re-tap with a 1/4-20 and use what I had lying around, lol. I'm sure if this plane lasts another hundred years, the future owners won't mind one bit Thanks for watching! 😁
Seriously? Spray paint? If you sell that thing, please tell the buyer you didn't care enough to study how they were made and "just used a rattle can to make it look pretty".
I may sound a bit harsh. But looks aren't everything. To someone who knows little about planes, it looks like an awesome job. And if you plan to keep it for your own use, it will more than suffice. But if it's to be sold, the buyer isn't getting what they think they are.
Definitely planning on keeping it for myself, I had no intention at all of doing a historically accurate restoration. The original laquer was 90% gone and I wasn't about to mess around with oven curing home made japanning lol. In any case, I used Dupli-Color enamel engine paint which is a decent substitute for my use, and more than likely much more durable than the original finish

And give them the original parts so they can fix it properly. Tote screws can be purchased for a few bucks.
