I decided in this restoration i would try to use things i already have in the shop, including paints, sandpaper etc. I think this restoration turned out really good! Let me know what you think in the comments!

Nice job! Shared in my community page.
Thank you so much Justin !
So what about that air compressor.
I bought this plane new it had blue colour on the body and the frog was red, in a corrugated white cardboard box with blue printing on it. A cousin of mine, now a retired Lt. Colonel, stole it from my workbench locker never found it again. It was in 1969 or 70 when I bought it for Rs 90/= only. A very handy tool for hobbyists. I still feel so bad about it, that was my first Stanley.
Nice post. I just found an old Stanley Handyman in my in-law's workshed and pretty rusty. Appears to be pre-50's and thought I my try my hand at restoring. This has given me some good info on where and how to start. Thanks.
Very cool!
I absolutely love restoring planes. Nice job
Thank you 😊
Nice job, bad work!
I love reading the comments in a video like this. You got a rusty old plane from the cheaper end of the market into a better than new condition, it possibly looks better and almost certainly runs better. You did it all by throwing elbow grease at the job in hand instead of money and your methods worked. I admit to being a newbie to woodworking and I have only restored 3 planes thus far, and I have no idea what are technically the "right ways" of doing things, but if a plane planes and looks good when it’s finished that’s a success to me. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, or so they say. Yet people feel compelled to criticise in such a petty way, "Black is not a joyful colour"??? What the heck it that about?
You did what you set out to do, restore the plane to how it looked new and to get it successfully working. I'd say the video was a roaring success. Thank you.
Kinda what I was thinking, but apparently everyone is an expert on UA-cam 🤷🏼♂️🙄 and thank you for your praise 😎
people see greatness and want to improve upon it when they see ways that it can be done, like the paint.....
I just ordered a number 5 handyman. Looking forward to restoring it and making it work.
Nice!
Superb! Love the lined up screw slots. All in the detail. Thank you.
Thank you! And that's my OCD coming out 😎
I do like watching wood curl! Now it's ready for some hard work! Great job!!
Thank you so much😬
Turned out great. Like the black. And a splash of red always looks good.
Thank you so much!
Another job for evaporust. Also for coarse paper for early flattening and paint stripper... and i usually dont want paint between the frog and the base so that its more stable
Thank you for commenting
Next time soak the rusty parts in Metal Rescue to get rid of the rust. It eliminates most the sanding and gets in all of the corners. It also doesn’t damage the paint.
Have to keep costs down , already got evaporust
@@FixitRestoreit ...same thing functionally, but you didn't use it? at 6:45 the screw holes sure looked rusty. A few hours in your evaporust would have eliminated that and made the whole job easier.
14:30 Bu-ga-ga! Right on the paint!))
Very good restoration bro 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you for your comment 😊
excellent job
Thank you for your comment, glad you liked it!
Love your work!
Thank you 😎😊
This entire video was pure ASMR for me. Nicely done
Thank you for your kind words 😎
This a great video restoring this tool ...a lot of work.. you are really talented...Awesome Video … You just got another Subscriber !!!👍👍👍
Thank you very much for your kind words😎
@@FixitRestoreit No problem ... your awesome ..
lovely end product, i have three of these planes, and a couple of wooden ones, after seeing your finished plane i might have a go at mine, thanks, Tony, Australia.
Thank you for your kind comment 😊
Nicely done!
Thank you, glad you liked it 🤗
Nice tear down, clean up and a beautiful restoration. Nice face too.
Thank you so much, and im glad you liked my artwork lol
Fix it Restore it
So this is where the face came from!
Yes lol!
Love the sound of that tool.
Me too!
Maybe new wood next time. Also try covering the screw holes next time or even retap them. It was a nice restoration though! Keep up the quality vids 🤙
Thank you for your comment, and yes I will, got lots more tools to restore 😎
Nice clean up and a beautiful restoration. I use Evaporust to get the rust off of parts. Nice face!
Yes, I really need to get some, but I still would have had to sand it down to get past the pitting. I vertical mill would have been nice lol! And I'm glad you like my painting 😎😂😁😂
Talk to me in the comments! I will answer everybody 😎
👍
Great job! I love seeing those huge thumb muscles working!
🤗
Music to my ears
Thank you for your comment 😊
Great video. Just picked up my first plane, I believe it is the one you restored, but mine has a blue body. Love the final product, it looked and performed amazing. I hope mine turns out that well. Is the caliper paint more resilient/harder than spray paint?
Just finished cleaning up a Makita 2030 I found. A machinist told me to use the Meguiars mirror glaze when sanding off the rust as it helps prevent the wet/dry paper from clogging. Let's just say it was a vast improvement over WD40 I was using.
As this is my first plane, any tune up tips?
The paint does seem quite hard, best piece of advice I can give is get yourself a guide for sharpening the blade and a dead flat surface to true up the bottom
@@FixitRestoreit thanks, I had planned on doing both. My sharpening system arrives tomorrow.
I've never adjusted one to cut, any tips?
Whoa whoa whoa........ don’t you know that I’M the guy with the bright green thumbnails!?!?! Tryin to take over my turf eh? Lol great channel bud. I used to have a handyman I restored and still regret selling it. People trash the handyman series but I got some super thin shavings with it.
Ha lol, we really do use the same color 😬 and thank you for your kind words 😎
I have a #3 that I use for smoothing. I'd spend $15 for another one
Tom Buskey i haven’t spent more than $20 for anything a 5 or smaller. I did spend $50 on a 6 in great condition and $35 on a Miller falls jointer (#7 size) that I love.
@@BradsWorkbench I hear about these cheaper used planes all the time. I don't go to flea markets, yard sales or the like due to time. So I'm happy to spend a bit buying it from someone else who did do that and sells it to me on eBay or some of the used tool places. It's still cheaper than a fully restored one and I get to do the restoration myself. At the end of the day, I want something I can use, not put on the shelf. $35 for a #7 is a great deal! I have a transitional MF #7 that I use.
Tom Buskey Tom Buskey definitely understandable. I enjoy the hunt and you’re right, garage and estate sales is where you can find them cheap. Shoot me an email and let me know what you’re looking for. Most I restore just back to workers. But really once you have a smoother, jointer, block, and a scrub, the rest are just collectibles lol. I use the same 3 for 99% of my work but I love having the other ones as well.
All that work for a plane ! Must be running out of stuff to do ? Which one of all is your favorite one that you restored ? Try doing a metal lathe , now that would be something to watch . Don’t get me wrong I like watching all of your restores ! SKOL BUD !
Favorite so far is the hedge trimmer, I have lots more including old chain saws, sheet metal formers, jointers not to mention axes , hammers , various vises etc etc. Just trying to fit in what I can around my regular job 😁
I’m sure you have PLENTY to do just kidding around ! That plane looked like way more work then I would have done but that’s why you have a restore channel and I don’t ! Thanks for commenting!
@@davekimbler2308 😎 I try to reply to every comment
Really fine job man. The handyman planes are kind of "infamous" for being hard to dial in and not as good as the "real" Stanley Baleys. IDK, I have 4 or 5 of them and they seem to work fin for my needs once tuned. I just redid a no. 5 (H1205) this weekend. Not to the same extent as yours. But one suggestion about the interface between the frog and the body: take the two apart and razor the paint off both. Then get a little valve grinding compound in between them and work the frog back and forth against the body being careful not to "rock" it This should flatten and polish the 4 points of contact (2 on the frog, 2 on the body). It doesn't have to be perfectly machined, but it makes a big difference in setting the plane up for smoothing and keeping it tuned over time. Also while the frog is off, you may want to consider removing the paint from the raised points of contact on the face of the frog (where the blade rides). Not a lot, but just enough for there to be metal on metal contact. The blade depth adjuster will function much more smoothly that way, with just a dab of 3-in-1 inbetween the frog and blade. Keep up the good work! Most guys would have taken one look at that sole and been "I'm out". Nicely done.
Thank you for your insight! Had I have realized how much work it would take to flatten the sole I never would have started!
Bravo !!!:-)
Thank you! 😎
oh, from what i've seen and read, sharpening blades works better if you only go in one direction
ok, ill bear that in mind!
@@FixitRestoreit double check it, because it would make it like twice as much work if it's not the case
please don't get hurt, also apparently using a blade to cut hair with is a really quick way to dull it, same for knives
👍
What is the spray that you used to scrub the parts?
Dollar store degreaser 😎

Thank you for your comment
this plane seems poorly designed, you might want to use some loctite on the threads of that bolt that holds the blade down but that isn't meant to be tight to it (since it has that clamp lever part) that or use a bushing or shoulder bolt, or make one if you're into that or want to get into it, getting a lathe would be a good thing, if you're careful, there is a lot of fun projects you can do on one, just be really careful and check everything before turning it on
A lathe would be really cool to have.
If your restore a plane DONT do it this way, never paint the handles, flatten with the frog installed and no paint on the frog bed it should be bare flat metal. However he did a nice job for looks only and its been saved for somebody to fettle.
🙌
how much was it and how much would you sell it for? (i have a price in mind of the sell for price, but i don't wanna put thoughts in your head)
It was in a large lot of tools i bought at an auction, its not for sale as i intend including it in giveaways once the channel is bigger.
Are you looking for one restored or one project ? I have the exact same one in about the same condition as this one, unrestored!
Don’t think I’d let you near my hand planes.
Thank you for your comment!
Trust me Murphymbeudjdnd... No one wants to touch your hand planes.... Absolutely no one.😉
what is the difference between handyman plane and bailey no.5? is it the size, the design etc?
I know the handyman is regarded as a "cheap" plane other than that im not sure
If remember it was little lighter in weight and the handle was of different design. But still a good planer far far better than the ones flooding the market today.
Also the adjusting wheel nut was of steel nickel plated and the screws heads of the blue painted knob and tote were Aluminium, maybe this made it cheaper version.
I would have had to reshape that cheesy tote. It looks cheap !
Я бы лучше сделал
Thank you for your comment
is it just me, or do your restorations kinda suck? i mean like it's cool you are doing it and all, and the videos are great (why i keep watching, video quality and presentation) but the restorations seem lacking if compared to other restorations or even diy restorations that me and my dad do on different things (though not all of them, most of those are certainly worse than yours, but just as yours, they work after (usually))
i don't mean to offend, i just don't know how to say that in a nice way
Lol, i dont get offended by anything, i wouldnt post videos on youtube if i did! I think my restorations are fine!!!!
@@FixitRestoreit better than the cleaning that some people do and call a restoration
Beautiful job - joyful in fact.
Happy New Year 2020.
