My type 11 no 6 is my favourite plane. It has enough length to make surfaces flat but isn’t as heavy and sluggish as a no 7 or 8 and just glides through the wood (I don’t use it as a fore plane)
I have a long list of overdue projects but most recently I built a drop down table for the kids’ playroom and I build desks for both kiddos during Covid. Other than that it’s been mostly shop furniture. Trying to get better organized so I can continue working on cabinet doors for the kitchen and a bed for my kiddo
This was a really fun video to make. I got to dust off some planes that I haven’t been using much lately. Side note - most of them that are ready to work were sharpened by a certain guy I know in Florida 🤓
Excellent vid, my friend! Your (partial) collection is quite impressive. Almost as impressive as that awesome wig of yours! lol Thanks a lot for the presentation.
As I was getting them out and putting them all on the bench, all I could think was - I have way too many hand planes! If I asked for an intervention I’d have to go elsewhere though. I have a feeling my fellow hand plane enthusiasts would be nothing but supportive. 😎
It's always fun when someone mentions someone whos local to me. Jim Bode is about 5-10 minutes away from me. Also, Graham Blackburn is about a half hour away. Jimmy Diresta is also local...within an hour
I wish I had a 51/52 but so far I haven’t been able to find one I can afford. This video was mostly for No1 thru No12 (plus the E plane). That’s why I didn’t go into detail on the Corinth Toolworks 101 either
Some of them sure don’t come up often. I’m still in the hunt for a No10 1/2c, preferably with a V logo. If I recall correctly, didn’t I sell you a No2c a while back?
@@justplanefun I know you’ve sold me parts, including for my 2’s. I can’t remember Mike…I have two 2C’s…you may very well have sold me one of them. The 5-1/4C and 10 series C’s are needles in a haystack. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I am curious as to you affinty for the corrugated soles. Would you mind sharing a bit more as to why that is? Not trying to start any controversy just guinely curious. Thanks in advance. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for all the interesting info.
It’s really due to that being the first plane of any real value that I ever bought (the Type 11 No6c in the video). For collectibility, some sizes had significantly fewer corrugated soles made than smooth soles (such as the No2 and No5 1/4). Corrugated soles are a bit better on really pitchy woods and they’re easier to flatten, if yer into that kind of thing (I’m not). But mostly it was just a marketing gimmick on the part of Stanley R&L Co. They claimed it decreased friction but the research that’s been done in modern times shows that’s not really the case. A more direct answer to your question is - I’m team corrugated because that’s how I got started with this whole hand plane collecting thing. 🤷🏻♂️
@@justplanefun thanks for answering. That’s in around about way how I became interested in plane. During covid i spent alot of time in the garage “shop”. Had a couple old hand saws. Watched a couple utubes on refurbishing them. Then utube send me some plane vids. I said what are these things?? Found a handyman at an antique store for $17 Canadian and now about 50 planes later here i am.

I know there are some folks out there who love No6s - I’m just not one of those people 😎
Nice collection, thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!
Is there any importance between the "low" front knob and the "tall knob" ?
Other than an indication of their age, not really. For users I find that it’s mostly a matter of personal preference
You always talk about the planes you use. What exactly do you use your personal planes for to produce ?

Amazing how enjoyable it is to watch these videos and to listen to the story behind it. Love the collection brother! Miss being in the game..

Loved the Seldon Baileys mixed in.
Some of my favorites! Well, those and the Bailey Victors
Wow, another crazy guy like my buddy and I. He must have 200 planes and oh 400 saws in his collection. Now i got the bug... I subbed....
Nice! Always fun when the bug gets its fangs in ya
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Never seen a 10C before. Not even online. Didn’t even know this was a thing.
There’s a No10 1/2c as well - that’s one of the few planes I’m still looking for

Sounds like a great place to live! I’m kinda jealous
Can you suggest a Stanley Plane Blog? Thanks for all the help your videos provide.
Unfortunately I don’t know of any Stanley specific blogs. Patrick Leach’s Blood & Gore is pretty good if you’re into reading about Stanley stuff
Thats what i am talking about . Great video as always
This one mostly due to your requests to see the JPF collection 🤓
Have you ever heard of a Stanley with 05 on the toe?
Sounds like an Ohio. If it says No 05 or just 05, that’s most likely what it is
Nice stuff, wanted to see more oddities, like a 112 or 51-52 shooting plane :D

@@justplanefun I am after a shooting plane too, but I may end up buying the Lie Nielsen if i find a pre-loved one(affordable XD)
Great video as always Mike! Envious of a couple of those C’s…they are extremely hard to find!

I have a #7 that needs japaning redone. You mentioned someone in your video do you have his ctc info you could share?
Sure thing. Shoot me an email 📧

Came for puns, stayed for puns.
Because puns are just plane fun!
Nice!!
Thank you! Cheers!

My service won't get this video. Sucks. Plane spotting for me is to find any that are complete. I try to save all of them.
Is it because it’s too long? Will it maybe load later or something?
@@justplanefun not sure. You do great stuff. Don't change on my behalf
