Restoration of a very rusty Record No4 Plane - ASMR
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2021
- In this video I’m restoring a very rusty Record No4 plane with broken handles (tote). The Record plane is very similar to a Stanley No4, some might say it is a total rip off. During the depression Record were encouraged by the British government to provide home made products through placing large import duties on American products.
I’m quite happy with the restoration, I think the handles came out particularly well and the change of colour ties the whole package together nicely. My only slight disappointment was the amount of pitting caused by the rust, which I was unable to get rid of.

Record Imp Vice Restoration: • Crown Cork Bottle Open...
This is resurrection, not restoration! You have made this poor little piece of trapped rust become a work of art.
You deserve praise, encouragement, and respect. You have brought this old marvel to another "plain".
Hats off to you Sir. My deepest respects.
(I just love that beautiful English Racing Green- so much warmer than the original cold Record blue- which I don't like either)
Good lord there are too many videos of plane restoration. But really, good lord I watch too many. And somehow- this one is still near the top. Makes me want to take my sort of restored planes to a new level. But why.... my woodworking needs more work than my planes need paint!
Thank you for this. Keep em coming.
I think ive watch just about all of the plane ones and bench vice restorations
Can never have too many.
Thank you for posting this. You have raised the bar in my tool restorations.
I have to say... this was an amazing transformation. I am getting back into wood-working after a 40 year absence... and am looking at older/vintage hand tools rather than the new power tools since the vintage tools are what I was taught to use. I have an old Stanley No. 4 plane that a neighbor is giving me that is almost as rusty as this one you showed. Hoping I can do as good a job in restoring it as you have done with this Record. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Looks great! But here's two tips for better performance while planing. Don't sandblast the interior ground surfaces of the plane body, those have to mate well with the frog to eliminate chatter. Also don't use the buffer on the plane sole, it needs to be dead flat especially around the throat for best performance.
I have always been a fan of the brushed metal look, but good color choice. I love watching these videos; they tend to be calming and mind clearing, thank you for posting!!
Glad you like them!
Brilliant restoration, I like the colour. Particularly impressive new handle and knob.
A most impressive restoration! Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks.
The shaving call to action got me. Done.
Beautiful result, excellent work. ❤ed it!
Memorizing video and amazing restoration, especially the new handles!
That's one of the best restoration I have seen The handle and knob are fantastic the colour is spot on and it looks and works fine. Thanks for sharing your time and skill and remember stay safe and make more great videos 🍺🍺👍👍🇬🇧
Thank you very much!
I love it, finally i found someone that did a serious restoration
Loved your process! Another antique tool saved from the scrap yard!
Seen lots of restorations, from some of the best woodworkers! This is by far the best yet. Well done
Wow, thanks!
Very impressive. You have given me the inspiration to go and haul out my old collection.
You should! Let me know how you get on
A fine job and excellent recovery. A+!
Hermoso trabajo, muy profesional.Mis felicitaciones!!!
BRAVO, BRAVO! This had me mesmerised from start to finish. I'm just about to restore my first, a Stanley No.4 plane. Was watching this for tips, if mine turns out a half as good as this one I'll be a proud man. Excellent work fella.
Outstanding job. I love to see hand tools brought back to their former glory. 👍
Exquisitely done! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent in every way and your humor and dedication to your craft kept my interest and focus throughout.
I loved that. You’re a craftsman!
I'm an avid consumer of plane-restoration vids and have to say, this is one of the best! What a transformation.
You could have glued the rear handle successfully using epoxy but that doesn't matter when you can demonstrate making such a superb replacement - one of the best hand-made plane handles I've ever seen, so major kudos for that alone!
I knew as soon as your caption said it that you were referring to lapping the sole with the frog and irons not fitted and I know the supposed truth that this is necessary, but actually this has been debunked numerous times. Guys have lapped empty plane bodies then later fitted everything, squiggled the sole with a marker and run the plane over abrasive and the marker that was immediately removed shows there was no change in the geometry. That's not to say it can't _ever_ happen, but it seems it's not normally an issue to do as you did initially. I don't know if I can post a link to it but one of the best demos of this if on the YT channel *Plane Collector* who also has lots of other great content showing his restoration methods in detail.
Thanks for your kind words! 👍
Interesting you say that about the lapping of the plane, I found when I went back to flatten it again there wasn't much of a difference (if any at all).
@@TheGardenWorkshopRestoration do what you think
A work of Art. Outstanding.
I have restored a number 4 plane. This restoration is however on another level. Everything has been restored to perfection. It's better than new.
You are very kind, I'm glad you liked it!
That was more enjoyable than I had any right to expect. Well done...the plane, and the sound, too.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍
Landrover Green?
Absolutely!
The colour, they should have been.
Bravo!
Cleaning out a deceased estate and have picked up a number of
old tools, including planes.
I have enough projects, but this has inspired me to have a go.
Thanks
A restoration to aspire to. Beautiful end result.
Tip for drilling holes on an angle: take a piece of scrap wood, draw a line on it, clamp it to the side of the work piece so it lines up with the hole you want to drill, line the drill up with the reference line as you go.
Думаю что с момента продажи, много, много лет назад, этот рубанок не был так хорош как сейчас 😁 Гениальная реставрация 👌 Браво 👏❤️!!!!!!!!!
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho de restauração,SHOW.
Lovely job. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I've done a few planes but never to this standard. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it
I really like the green you've gone with. Not only does the paint have depth, but green goes well with the brown wood stain, and with the brass parts. Plus the white lettering looks good on it.
It's your plane. Paint it any color you choose. The purist can paint their's record blue.
Most of my Restos go Kawasaki Ninja green. The colour hits you in the face & everyone knows its a custom .. just for me.
I love the finish in green, incredible job!!!!
Beautiful job! Btw it's nice to see the next project at the end 👍
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. Putting the next project at the end certainly focuses the mind because I haven't done the restoration yet! 🤞
Loved the way you got rust of the brass . Another top five for tumeric and PVA with a touch of iron fillings. Well done
Just Beautiful! Much respect... as I just did my first plane.. and known first hand that.. it takes alot of work.. and I one was a simple Stanley 110..lol.. video just cant capture the time it takes.. yours is fantastic! Masterfully done!!!
OMG this is an awesome restoration video, so thank you so much for sharing your craftsmanship and talent
Amazing job, perfect restoration. Colour choice was good and it's a classic colour anyway so you can't go wrong with that choice. Fabrication of the wooden handles were perfect so over all, it's a 10/10 in my opinion.
Thank you very much!
@@TheGardenWorkshopRestoration que me
Well done. I like how you turned a stuff up with your handle into a win by thinking outside the box.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow! Thanks for sharing. This is restoration done to the max! I plan to restore a similar plane but it will only be to return to fully functioning state. A bit of old patina left over will make it look just perfect.
That green also looks great with those beautiful new knobs you made. 👍🏼
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job and you did a heck of a nice job on the handles. I also wanted to say, you don't take a 'back seat' to anyone. You are a master at restoration.
Beautiful work, dude. Keep it up. I love it.
Absolutely incredible, what a brilliant restoration 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
I really enjoyed that. Great job on the restoration. Love the colours. Thanks for sharing 😊
That handle and knob came out absolutely and insanely great!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it 👍
Awesome! Love the green!
and many thanks for no distracting music!!
Very, very, nice job. Thank you.
Excellent restoration job, well done 👏
Great work, great transformation…the day I bought a 4-1/2 in similar condition….!
Thanks for the video
Just beautiful well recovery
I think when the purists refinish their own plane, they can chose how they want to finish it. Until then, they should just enjoy this masterful work. Well done!
Agreed
Darwin good job @@joshuaward000
Excellent work, it looks like it came out of the factory.👍🏽
That is now a thing of great beauty; well done!
Looks like it came straight from the shop.Stunning restoration and great choice of colour
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! 😄👍
WOW that’s so beautiful.
Absolutely Fabulous, well done sir.
Инструмент - просто фантастика. Но и Мастер, выполнивший все работы, так же на высоте.
I dig the green. That thing looks great!
I’ve restored several old Stanley planes and appreciate the quality of your work. I don’t mind color change, just not sure about green. 😊
Gracias. Excelente trabajo!!! Felicitaciones.
Excellent , man after my own heart!
😄👍
Wow that's absolutely amazing you made an absolutely fantastic job of that it's better than new.
Great video!!!
The drill press/lathe was a great idea!!!
Beautiful!
Nice. Work. Excellent attention to detail!
I am trying to restore some old planes for my son. Unfortunately,I will not be able to go to the extent that you have, but it was fascinating watching and I did learn a lot. Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work.
Masterpiece brother. Keep up the exceptional tutoring....
Not sure how I came here but it is great. It is the best plane restoration I have seen. It requires knowledge on the use of the tool to restore it correctly. It is a perfect, better than new restoration but with technical details in mind. Perfect.
Sole flattening - ✅
Frog flattening - ✅
Blade sharpening - ✅.
Assembled correctly - ✅
Final result: a usable tool that actually takes some fine shavings.
Wow, thanks!
Beautiful
Parece uma obra de arte
Beautiful outcome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Perfection!❤
AWESOME!!!!!!!!
5:20 flatting the sole without the iron secured. I didn’t fast forward. Now to finish watching. Awesome work so far!
Well spotted! 👌
Beautiful restoration performed. I like your style and color choice !
Thank you very much!
Amazing colour choice!! Perfeito job!
Thank you! Cheers!
👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏what a beauty!!!
Awesome ❤
Awesome restoration. Looks like it had been at the bottom of a lake!
Very nice result … Good Job Sir 👍🏽
That was a beautiful job, I like the green paint
Wow! Frikkin beautiful restoration! 💯💯💯
Great job
Fantastic. Looks great 👍
Thanks 👍
Excellent work!!! I recently refurbished one of these.
Great job on the handles. As for color...your tools, you choose! I would paint everything in my workshop in shades of purple if I could :)
Very nice! 👍🏼
AWESOME restoration. Just the right amount of shine on the metal (brushed look looks great) and the colors look fine, as well. I was especially impressed with the making of the two wood pieces. Drill press lathe: use what you got and make it work.
Right on 👍
It's your plane. you paint it any color you like. At least you'll recognize it a mile away. And you have a drill press. It's a step ahead of me. lol Great job!
The green looks so good i think Record would have chosen the green over the blue once they saw your work which i think would have competed favourably. The best restoration i have ever seen.I'm pretty sure you flattened the sole once reassembled. I think you can buy them for around $300-$400, it still wouldn't be enough for the work you put in and the awesome result.
Excellent 👌
fantastic restoration. there is nothing wrong making your tools unique to you using whatever color you want.
Very true!
Just beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautifully done. I like the deep green color. I don't think I'd worry about the flatness of the bottom. None of these planes were flattened when they were made. If you watch the Plane Collector video dated 01/18/18 (Lapping a bench plane fully assembled v. bottom only ) that myth was busted. You work was stunning!
Thank you very much! That is what I found out for myself, once I started flattening it again, it was already flat!
Excellent work!😊
One brilliant restoration you did a great job friend, loved the way you made those new handles, look's really good should last for years, Stay Safe & have a nice day !!!.
Glad you liked it
