1879 Compass Plane [Restoration]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 січ 2022
- This restoration is on a Type 1 Stanley No. 113 compass plane patented in 1879. You can view the original patent documents here:patents.google.com/patent/US2...
The Type 1 planes of the No. 113 were made from 1877-1880 and allowed users to plane curved wooden surfaces.
This specific plane was sent to me by a viewer.
I wanted to restore this plane as close to original as possible so I opted to japan the main body and nickel-plate the knobs. Unfortunately, you must drill out a specific pin located under the sole adjustment knob in order to fully remove it from the body of the plane. Other than that one pin, everything else was de-rusted and cleaned for reassembly.
With the blade sharpened, it preformed very well and was a lot of fun to use.
I really miss restoring hand planes as that is what got me so hooked on doing restorations in the first place.

I thought I should slow it down for this hand plane restoration. I haven't done one in so long and I miss it! Hand planes are the reason I got hooked on restorations in the first place. Enjoy!
I was wondering when you'd need a palate refresher after those huge intricate ones!
Your work brings me great joy, thank you for sharing your passion with us.
I like fire!
Has a strong Art Deco vibe to it, like Gadsbys Carpenter finally had enough of his extravaganza and put the Plane to rest - happy you ressurected this one - such a enjoyable video - Thanks Dude!
I see you have picked up ToT's "Subscribe" tactics and I love it. XD
I would love to see a retrospective of the tools you've restored! You know, like a "Where are they now?" kind of thing. I believe that a display and a little back story of all these functional works of art would be of interest to a lot of viewers.
Agreed! would love to know if any have been sold on, see regular use etc.
Yeah this.
agreed
Several months ago I asked HTR to restore my life. And honestly with minimal effort on his part I'm glad to report that he came, through! I have a job I like, I found new hobbies, and my kids are even behaving better. Thanks Hand Tool Rescue!
Well done!Just watching the intro cheers me up!! Keep up the good work!
This and the fractal vise are so interesting. Tools lost to history and still useful today. :)
Compass planes are still around in boatbuilding!
Yes! Come to the boatbuilding corner of youtube
Thanks for single-handedly reviving Japanning all by yourself :D
He really did.
as soon as i saw the finish on the body and knob i thought, " Eric loves Japanning". great job, once again
It is great to see the old hand tools being made new again. I would guess that most carpenters or cabinet makers wouldn't know what this tool is. Superb.
Just bought a 113 last week. Missing the handle. Thank You for posting.
The ornate details old tools have never ceases to amaze me. Awesome restoration.
I love old tools.....if only they could show you all the things they have made/fixed ! I don't think I have ever seen a hand plane like this . I think this most versatile plane so useful.....and you did a GREAT job restoring this !!👍👍
I always take a long time to watch your videos completely because I always fall asleep watching them. Too relaxing for me.
That's a neat plane I never realized one like that existed but now that I've seen it it makes total sense.
Yes, its sad how so many people today, think anything old, is outdated, and of "inferior" design to all new stuff. There is an air of intellectual arrogance very rampant in todays society, when it comes to machinery of the past.
The only show I watch where I hit the like button before the intro starts!! Your craft is amazing, Bravo!!
I always do it after the intor, too captivating intro to do it before ;)
I am glad you slowed this restoration down. It worked, plane and simple.
Blasting cabinet scenes are the best. Love to see it!
Amazing plane! Never seen one that could cut curves before. Beautiful work.
HTR restored my hard drive, the wetlands in my backyard, my faith in humanity And my will to live!
Thanks Hand Tool Rescue!
I sure others have said so, but the "sitcom" opening to your videos is AWESOME!
It would have never occurred to me that such a thing would work. Always amazed by some of the old tools you come up with. Well Done.
That big front knob, all engraved and etc. is gorgeous.
I have my dads one of these, still used quite often for arch finishing on jobs. So good to see one being given the love it deserves.
I enjoy your personal sense of humor in each video sir. Good job!
Watching the parts basket come up out of the evapo-rust barrel is so satisfying. That stuff is the bee's knees. Sometimes I pick up rusty bits of hardware off the street and de-rust it just to feel alive.
In my 73 years this is the first one of this type I've ever seen. Nice restoration.
I couldn't imagine what that type of plane was used for. Fascinating.
I'm actually amazed that you still keep using that old vaporust solution and its still effective even after using it for many projects.
That blasting cabinet is a source of so much fun. :-D
That seems like a ridiculously logical tool that I've never seen or known about.
Today is a glorious day, another hand tool rescue video.
Thank you Eric for showing us this restoration. I enjoyed how you used the techniques you have taught us nd appied them. That is a very helpful plane in curving a board almost to perfection.
I am so glad to see you again, thank you for allowing me to watch you work. I know this is going to be great . I am from the USA a small town in Ohio.
After that Transfomers sound effect, I was half expecting the Transformers transition between the scenes. Great job and entertaining video as always.
Dude, I love the content and it just keeps getting better. The intro's are getting even funnier too. I thought it was really cool watching you repair that square bolt head that was cracked in half. It didn't even occur to me that was an option haha. Thanks for all the rad videos
Glad you enjoy it!
My Dad has one just like that in an old tool chest in his cellar. I remember playing with it when I was a kid. Beautiful tool and great restoration.
Wow! I haven't seen one of those for decades. He was a boat builder and had three in different sizes. Thanks for posting this!!
I always enjoy watching your restorations. Thank you so much for sharing them. I don't have even a hundredth of the tools that you do so I have only restored some cast iron cookware and a couple smaller tools but I received a Dremel Tool for Christmas. I hope to restore more complex things in the future.
Another lovely and interesting tool restoration. It looked magnificent after you worked on it. And for people like me questioning it's usefulness, your end demo showed its forte. Thanks
Mind. Blown. I've never seen or heard of a compass plane and now I need one.
That is a sweet planer. No doubt a big help to early air plane manufactures and old ship wrights that had to make mock-ups of vessels. Really handy tool.
Speaking as a woodworker who knows what a good compass plane is worth, the intial hammer-banging steps hurt me deeply, but then the cleaning and getting-it-back-together steps were heavenly.
Also, I am happy to find out I am not the only person whose standard for sharpness is to be able to shave my forearm, instead of the dumb old paper cutting.
Must admit japanned and nickel-plated surfaces are a really beautiful combo.
Love your videos! I have been anxiously awaiting each as they come out. You inspired me to restore all of my Dad's, Grandfather's, and Great Grand Father's tools many of which I put back into service in my own shop. TY.
I very much enjoy seeing you bring these unique tools back to life.
That's pretty smooth... The engineering and ornate tools of that era never cease to amaze me. I love the videos! Keep up the fantastic work!
Complex problems solved with ingeniously simple mechanical solutions. And on top of that, a sprinkling of 'let's beautify the thing a bit, we're not savages..'
didn't know I needed one of these until now
I recently became aware of this tool from a Matt Cremona video. It was awesome to see one restored and learn how the mechanism functions! Great video, and really conveniently timed! Thank you.
Another fine job, you sir are an accomplished restoration pro, I enjoy watching the many items you get in your shop, some I have never seen before. Thank you
Здравствуйте! Очень интересный рубанок! Как всегда ваша работа понравилась!
It's always fun to see the creative ways they did things back then. We don't see as much of those ideas anymore now that the problems we're engineering for are different.
Incredible craftsmanship. Looking forward to viewing more. 👍
The most versatile and most gorgeous plane I’ve ever seen! Beautiful restoration Eric, chapeau 🎩!!!
Merci pour cette nouvelle découverte, c'est la première fois que je vois un rabot de ce type et je comprends en te voyant l'utiliser à quoi il pouvait servir 👍
Even after so long, the intro still makes me smile when you take off the glasses and smile at the camera. Loved the restoration so much I would even offer to buy the plane !
Your restoration of this compass plane brought back many memories from my boat building apprenticeship- and wishing I had as nicely redone a plane as that one!! Finishing out the interior planking with one that wouldn't hold adjustment really taught patience! 🤣
Great job!
You sir are one talented man. To God be the glory!
Never seen anything like this. Every now and then I am reminded of old tools I did not know existed existed
Outstanding.
Well played sir!
You’ve won my respect and admiration.
the ingenuity of mankind, oh how we tend to fail to remember. thank you for restoring all the examples of early necssity keep up the projects.
Of all the antique planes I own, have restored, and seen, I haven't found one of these. Very cool.
Wonderful restoration! The nickle plating of the knobs is excellent and really shows what it looked like new.
Loved the opening sequence. Nice restoration of a really old and unique plane.
Should have japaneed the knobs then sanded them to bring out the detail. Also, I love how there's the fractal vise in the background at the end to emphasise how much they "dont make them like the used to"
I was thinking the EXACT same thing - the knobs would look AMAZING!
Truly, I enjoy every program. This one is one of the favorites since I just love to see this magnificent instrument regain not 9nly its luster and charm but its functionality as a testament of man's inventiveness in solving his problems and challenges. Repairing it to such beauty is outstanding and reflects upon your compromise with beauty.
Saw this type of plane for the first time on Matthew Cremona's UA-cam channel just a day or two ago while he was building a curve-faced drawer set. Great restoration. Thanks.
Beautiful restoration for an awesome antique tool!
What a beautiful little plane!
A very fitting restoraion too! Not everything needs to be polished to a mirror finish.
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
I love the details on the knobs. Great work as always.
Pure joy and love!
So glad to see you posting. Thanks very much.
Such an elegant, smart yet simple tool, impressive. Great restoration!
Dude, you are one of the coolest guys I have ever not met. Keep on doing what you do. Please.
Looks good. Can't think of a better way to relax and recover from surgery
Una herramienta muy bella y elaborada a detalle. La restauración es espectacular y digna de una pieza igual. Saludos desde México!.
Pure genius, a plane that only works when pointing north
The only thing more satisfying than this video is using a well-made and well-tuned hand plane! 😊
That's excellent, Eric. Thanks for sharing that.
I am glad you demonstrated the bend. It makes a lot of sense in an age of hand tools that one would be made to more easily plane an arch.
I love seeing all the different tools you get in, I've not seen a plane like this, only flat ones. I always wondered about curves 😁
That japanning, though! 😩👌 Your recipes have come a long way.
morning, lv the restoration of the 1879 compass plane. u sir are a vintage hand tool guy.. lv from florida.
Never ever change your Intro, it’s hilarious 😂😭👍🏼
I come for the sand blaster shenanigans and stay for the high quality restorations and ASMR
Compass Planes are my favorite tool at this point. So nifty. And the Transformer sound effect at the start earns a like and a comment!
i was so impressed with his big shiny knob ,great work :P
This was magical to watch. Beautiful work, per usual. 😍
That’s fantastic. Love the narration too!!! Lol. Absolutely awesome. I do enjoy watching you and the tools you have e found to restore!!! Thanks!!!!
This is one of the coolest tools I’ve ever seen. Well done sir!
Intro was hilarious. Your restorations are awesome!
That is a fantastic tool. A worthy addition to your collection.
Yes please and thank you! That is a beautiful tool
Nice work,pretty display tool. Thanks for the look.
Gorgeous restoration on a very unique plane! Great find!
Very cool differential screw mechanism.
Very nicely done. Never seen one of these before. I have a radius plane that my father, a patternmaker, made as an apprentice about eighty years ago, but it is a single handle with a set of interchangeable fixed-radius cutting beds and matching blades. I love these tools that embody so much of the craftsmanship of old that is slowly disappearing from the world. Thanks for giving them the respect that they deserve.
Wow, a hand made 80 years old radius planer set, what a nice heirloom. Simple or not that's a far more precise tool than the adjustable planer restored by HTR and also quite valuable, you should take good care of it.
@@Dr_V I was able to bring to Canada quite a few of my father’s specialty tools-chisels, gouges, measuring tools-after my last visit a few years ago. They had been left in a sorry state after he retired and stopped using them, and I wanted to restore and use them myself rather than let them sit and rot. My father passed away a week before this Christmas at the age of 97, and I am so glad I have something so filled with the spirit of his working life to keep me connected to him now that he has gone. I have no relatives who would appreciate them either for their inherent worth, or for their sentimental value, so when I pass I intend to leave them to a collector or a museum if I can.
These planes are still very much in use today. When you need to flatten a concave or convex surface, no other tool does it better. Somethings just can't be improved!
Nice job! I have one of these that I inherited from my grandfather who built boats. I was always fascinated by the gear mechanism on the side that equalized the arc of two halves of the plane's sole.
I have one of these! Had it for maybe 30 years and never seen another one!
Albert - England.
That is the coolest planer I have EVER SEEN!! Awesome job!
Good job and what a neat design. 18th century engineering at its best. Definitely something well worth restoring. That's a keeper
What an interesting and useful tool. Thanks for selecting this for our viewing enjoyment.
Thanks for your channel! I especially enjoy your humor - a bonus! I wish you posted more often. Excellent work always!
