Antique Rusty Hand Plane - Restoration

  • In this video i'm restoring an antique Stanley hand plane.
    My friend has found this very old Stanley hand plane at the steel waste. When I saw it the first time at his place I wanted to restore it immediately, so I bought it for $10. This Stanley no. 122 hand plane was manufactured from 1877 until 1918, it's at least 101 years old. This plane is from the „liberty bell“ series, they were first produced in 1876 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence (1776). That's the reason why the liberty bell is imprinted on the lever cap.
    As I'm not a woodworker at all and I've never used a hand plane before in my life, I had to do a lot of research how this thing even works to understand the function of each part. It turned out that the iron and the backing iron were assembled wrongly and there was also one part missing, which holds both of these parts together. As the iron was an original Stanley part, it wasn't the correct one for this plane. The bigger hole in the slot was on the wrong end, that's why I made a new one.
    I tried to keep as many parts as possible original on this restoration. I only replaced two small screws, made the missing part and a new iron.
    I hope you like my work and the video.

    Wow. As a boy, I found a hand plane very similar to this in my father's tool chest. I played with it and took it apart. This brings back some memories that have been buried for well over 50 years. As well, I have been watching a lot of your restoration videos. You are truly a craftsman, and just watching is a meditative and relaxing experience. Thank you for sharing this, and your others, with us.

  • @captainpanda5533
    @captainpanda5533 3 роки тому +25

    In case you were curious, the black finish on the original hand plane wasn't paint, but actually a process called 'japanning.' It's a mixture of turpentine, boiled linseed oil, and powdered asphaltum that's baked onto the tool. Basically, the powder coat of its day.

      I agree, this is not restoration because the product "restored" does not even match the new product manufactured in series. Have you seen plane blades with a mirror polish or molded parts that have been filled with asperities from the molding sand ? No, I do not like and the object has lost its historical value. I do paint restoration, fortunately we do not do so !

Sometimes it's easy to give up if it doesn't turn good in the firs half hour of trying. Watching you work makes me realize things takes time to get good and it's not possible to rush them.

    Working on my 7th decade. My father was a master carpenter, back when such things mattered. He had a plane just like that, well in better condition, he took excellent care of his tools. He said they were his livelihood and they needed to be treated with care. My brother has them now and although he doesn't use them, he takes excellent care of them.

    I had a laugh watching this restoration. My dad, about 30 years ago, found some of these old wood planes and did his own restorations. The cleaning was one thing, but he did not like to remove the 'patina', it was a part of its' history! And I concur. As a side note, I have found the wood bodies to be smoother to work with, they seem to just glide over the work.
    However, the cleaning options are valid, and it just "how far to you want to go?" Thanks Chester, always nice to watch after an evening of heartbreaking news. I can go to the shop and do some 'clearing of the workbench' and listen/watch you videos. No better relaxation.

    As a woodworker I really love planes and restoring them, never seen the disassembly of a transitional plane, I loved it, but I have three observations to make
    1.- Stanley Irons do have the hole to the front, no it is not convenient, and I dont know why they did it like that when other plane makers did it with the hole to the back, so the iron might be original
    2.- the plane body was bone dry, it needed to soak in linseed oil before putting varnish
    3.- older stanley planes did not use black paint, they used japanning wich is a lot more durable but it is a pain to put in place
    Really enjoyed this restoration! Loved the detail of using dowels of the same wood, even though they would not be seen, hope that you enjoy the vice that is hand planing. If it jams, it is probably because the chip beaker needed to be rectified, it is an easy fix
