Hello my friend. This is more than just a video, you put love and passion into it. Great job! Thanks for sharing this video! Always believe in yourself and keep doing what you love, good luck!💎
Hi Ian. Your “elbow grease” worked wonders. Excellent, sympathetic restoration. A tool to treasure. Well done. 👏👏👍😀 Andrew PS. For future reference, add salt to the white vinegar. It aids the rust removal.
That came up real nice Ian. Put your paint can in warm water and the items you are going to paint in the oven,makes the paint finish really good and dries faster. Thought Stanley was an English brand,I don't know why.
Beautiful job Ian, well done! If I was Cathy, and knowing you and wood don't get on that well, I would want that as an ornament, maybe in a "Memory Corner" or something like that. I think I'd have cried if you'd presented me with something of my dad's that you had lovingly restored like that. No disrespect but if you keep it in the shed it'll probably fester for years and get all gunked up again. Take care, Poo
Fantastic job Ian. re it being from the US, thousands of tons of machinery and tools were shipped over here once Churchill signed the Lease Lend act. May have been used to build Mosquito's! I had a South Bend Lathe that came over like that, was 'lent to a company, and they never asked for it back! Great vid, take care
Great Job Ian, sympathetic restoration but not afraid to use it as a tool to prove it. So many restored things never get used for their original intended purpose post the work, well done. As for the masking tape tip, who do you know that is sick to death of painting stuff orange lol, lol. Cheers, Jon
Masking tape comes in low,med and high tack, sometimes you don't want it to be too sticky so low tack will do. I worked in the printing business and masking tape was a pain to remove if the wrong type was used.
Great job! Nice to know I'm not the only one who hates the original glossy black. All my restored planes are satin black too :) I'm surprised you didn't use primer, though. Acrylic primer followed by alkyde enamel works wonders!
ahh Konstantin, i had 8 weeks to do this group challenge, and i left it to 5 hours before the deadline, so I had to cut some corners, i have some nice Japlac enamel, but it takes hours to dry, thanks for the comment
Fantastic looking plane my Friend, I cant believe you did that.... I really really like what you made out of this rusty "Piece of Metal" Really proud of you Mate
I would like to send you a photo of a vintage metal rabbit plane with no identifcation as to who made it, and most interesting the blade which came with it is shapened like a knife. Please help us ID it: ... OORAH!!
Looks great mate so clean and useable good job

hello yan,
Wow, what a great job!
You surprised me with this project, it also works great and can last for years!
Well done, love old tools because they were built to last and probably treasured by their owner who used them to make a living.
It just needed a little love. Good job!
Nicely done Ian. We'll done

Cathy was quite pleased at the restoration, I think a wooden box is on the agenda
Amazing work wow
You made a fine job of that Ian

I miss the old tools and the old ways. There's never enough time or space to do it that way any more sadly.
Nice one Ian, thought you would of gone for the cobblers shoe "whatsits" as your restoration but you chose well...an easy 1st place lol
The anvil & lasts will one day be “restored”
Thanks, I wanted to see if the lever pin came out easily.. I sand blast and powder coat them when I restore.. #78 tomorrow...

@@Man-in-da-shed Does it fully harden in 5 hours? Because all paints I've used are not tacky after several hours but take weeks to fully cure.
@@konstantinsirotkin3430 this paint is still tacky after 24 hrs , google japanning.
Anyone else watching this for the linguistics alone? :)
Well Done Sir
Thanks jimmy
Fantastic looking plane my Friend, I cant believe you did that....
I really really like what you made out of this rusty "Piece of Metal"
Really proud of you Mate
Thanks buddy
You've been busy Ian I'm just catching up with your video . It's also known as a hair 🐰 plain . Or a rabbit plain over the pond 😂
Looks bloody brilliant mate well done thanks for uploading my video
10 điểm
Ian put your stones away lol
😂
Have you ever thought about cleaning up your shop? 😊
Daily
You should have left it in coke cola over some hrs. I think vinegar is similar.
If I hadn’t have left the challenge to 5 hrs before the deadline, I would have
Nice job in cleaning it up. Not sure that removing casting marks no longer sympathetic restoration.
The video, as you summed it up a bit tedious. Lol.
A group challenge so had some artistic license
Restore something old?...........wise move not to say Mrs Ian lol
The thought did occur
@@Man-in-da-shed 😂😂😂😂
