It's VERY helpful for my education to see the photos and information in the posting and hearing your assessment before you made the offer. The history and interactions of the various companies is interesting. Thanks for another great video!
What a beauty, I'd never seen that brand before. I'm looking forward to your clean up and tuning video. Curious to see how that thicker blade performs against the Stanley. Great video glad to hear you'll keep making more.
I am doing the tune up video on this as we speak! Should be out in the next couple of weeks! I’m sure that thick iron will help it out for the purpose I’m going to use it for! Thanks for watching.
I’m going to set this one up to flatten, since I already have a jointer set up for jointing….And I think that thick iron will definitely help with that…..Thanks for watching!
That's a beautiful plane! I really appreciate the historical context you provided, which allows us to envision what life was like for the average worker at the time. Also, I noticed some castings on your bench...🧐🤔
I dabble in casting bronze and brass. Those are reproduction screw caps for the Stanley No 40 and 40 1/2 scrub planes! Thank you for watching the video, I am a history major by education so I try to throw a little bit of that into each video!
I also have a no 5 Rev-O-Noc I’m going to tune up and release a video for as well! I’ve been on the hunt for a No. 4 Revonoc , but haven’t found one yet that doesn’t look like it’s been drug behind a school bus!
Yes indeed, A man after my own heart: "Its impossible to have too many tools". Right along with "Too much storage, or material and, especially, enough money to afford it all".
My first shop was a 10 x 14 shed, and my current shop is 28 x 44, you would think it would be plenty of space to easily organize and place all the tools you would ever need. I’ve found that no matter the size of the shop, I’ll still fill it too the rim. Thanks for watching!
I am an old tool collector particularly planes in far off Sydney Australia. I find your videos very informative and interesting in how you present them. Keep up the great work and make plenty more videos,
I have a Stanley that didn’t work well till I flattered the sole using a worn sanding belt on my 1 metre long edge sander. The blade and cap iron on yours look exellent. You never have enough hand tools. I hope your sole is flat.
You got a great deal on that. The "iron-y" here is that no sales tax existed when that no7 was new and now a hundred years later it is not immune to tax slavery. Somewhere I've got several turn of the century hardware catalogs from those multi name stores. The bindery and artwork in those catalogs is on par with your plane iron from a time when folks gave a phuc about their product. Thanks for that great video speaking of great quality.
What I wouldn’t give for a Time Machine and a $100 bill. I’ve always wondered what it would have been like to walk in a store and seen planes in the boxes on the shelf! Never even seen an old picture of that.
I have a revonoc of my own, basically zero japanning left and came with nearly used Canadian sweetheart blade and chipbreaker from 45, gotta love Canada. I like yours better. Looking forward to the clean up video.
Can't wait to see the tune up video. One question - maybe it's my lack of experience with No 7's - but the tote looks thin. How does it compare to a Stanley No 7 tote?
@@DaveCorinth Thanks. My eyes playing tricks on me again - proportions of that big body when I'm not used to that. That's next on my list - a good jointer plane.
Brings back painful memories of an Ebay purchase of mine of a beautiful almost pristine Bedrock 607 - seller's girlfriend mailed it for him and she put it into a couple of post office priority envelops (not boxes) au naturel and just mailed it. I didn't realize you could break a plane into so many pieces but I guess I underestimated the capability of the postal service - though really not their fault.
R.I.P poor Bedrock 607. I’ve had a few planes mailed in envelopes and thankfully most have survived. I messaged the seller before and and expressed my concerns on shipping a large fragile cast iron plane with brittle wooden handles. Thankfully it made it unscathed!
I imagine there was a serious discussion between the guy who was very apologetic and his girlfriend the evening I let him know :-) - really enjoy your channel@@DaveCorinth
The very first plane I sold on eBay, (1999) I put the plane in a box and sent it on its way. Totally destroyed the plane and learned a serious lesson on shipping planes and of course how the P.O handles boxes. My dad worked at UPS for 26 years and he once told me the FRAGILE is Italian for “Throw”…..lol
I’ve found a true flat sole more important on a Smooth plane. I try to get these larger planes to .003-.005 and I’ve found that generally works on a jointer plane.
@@DaveCorinth She is a beauty. This is where knowing your stuff pays off. People are looking for good deals on sevens and I would say that was outstanding price. Question, how late did Stanley continue making laminated irons?
I think Stanley stopped laminating irons in the early 1950’s, but don’t hold me to that. I know that the type 19’s have an “improved” cutter which I believe is they are no longer laminated!
@@DaveCorinth I have an older 5 1/2 with a Siegley laminated iron. Old enough to have the 2 1/4" width. I didn't realize until this video that the mouth was 0.25" to fit the thicker iron.
what a great find, unmolested original condition, they're only original once. You stole it. That was a big box, shipping had to be at least $20, and free shipping included. I saw that Tote top section poking out from the inner box thought it was going to be cracked.
I was really happy with the condition of the plane, and you are right they are only original once, took a light handed approach in getting this one ready to use.
@DaveCorinth there are a swirls and only marking i can find are no 6 on toe and 75 and one half under tote on frame please get back with me I'm kinda new to using and collecting planes
Nice plane. I found a Stanley #7 in similar condition in a bucket in a junk store .I gave 17 bucks. It cleaned up very nice. And works perfectly.
These planes are all over the place, just takes a little bit of patience and of course some digging once in a while. But that the fun part!
Great buy. The iron is certainly impressive. Thanks for the history lesson.
Glad you enjoyed it

You're very welcome, and glad you enjoyed the video!
That iron is insane! So cool, thanks for educating us on these planes
They are very thick! And heavy! Thanks for watching….
Good plane, good video, thanks.
Many thanks!
She’s a beauty for sure…..I saw those totes and knobs you sent to Just Plane Fun, oh man are you a fantastic woodworker sir. More videos for sure.
I’m currently making Mr Jenks some more of those totes and knobs in rosewood. Thank you for the compliment and of course for watching!
I had this one on my watch list too. Thanks for the video!!
It was on there for a while, I was honestly surprised no one else snagged it!

Well done Dave,
What a blade on that 7!!! I am very imprest by that.!
Thank’s again for your vidéo.

Interesting video.
I've got a small collection of old but garden variety planes.
Learnt a lot from your disassembly and presentation.
Glad I could help, thank you for watching!
It has ben a long time since I laughed so hard at the ending of a video! Do more out takes please!! LOL
I’m going to start putting more of those outtakes at the end of videos. I certainly have plenty of them! Thank you for watching!
What a cool plane. And that iron is so sweet. Looking forward to the Revonoc series.
I also have a no 5 Rev-O-Noc I’m going to tune up and release a video for as well! I’ve been on the hunt for a No. 4 Revonoc , but haven’t found one yet that doesn’t look like it’s been drug behind a school bus!
Superb stuff, as always Dave.
Glad you enjoyed it
This is a great discussion, I’m new to the hand tool world and appreciate you sharing your insight. Please take us through your restoration.
Tuning of this plane will be released soon, thank you for watching!
Thanks for another great video.
Thanks for watching! Many more to come!

What's the point of money if you can't buy any tools with it.
@@DaveCorinth, Must be the rule of perverse proportionality in play.
I have certainly found that no matter the size of the container, I’d find a way to fill it.
That's a beautiful plane, Dave. nice video .👍

Great buy, Dave! 👍 I'd love to have a plane like that at that price.
Their out there, keep looking. That’s half the fun of collecting and using these old tools! Thanks for watching.
Cool plane and great video!
Excellent choice

Working on the tuning video now, will have it out soon! I really like the Rev-O-Nocs, especially those with the thicker irons!
Very nice !!!👍🏼
Another great find. 🇦🇺👴🏻
Man, really nice plane.
It’s in better condition that I was expecting, very happy with the plane. Thank you for watching!
Appreciate you sir.
Thank you, I really enjoy doing this!
I ,too, hate bugs and love planes.
I just got the plane I bought a while back with bugs in it all tuned up and I’ll post a video on the transformation soon.
Thanks for the video
Thank you for watching, I enjoy making them!
That is a really nice iron and cap iron
Definitely thicker that a standard Stanley iron and chip breaker, going to see how well she performs soon! Thanks for watching.
Can't wait to see the tune up video. One question - maybe it's my lack of experience with No 7's - but the tote looks thin. How does it compare to a Stanley No 7 tote?
The tote is the same thickness as a standard Stanley tote, about .95” I just checked it and it’s .942” thick.
@@DaveCorinth Thanks. My eyes playing tricks on me again - proportions of that big body when I'm not used to that. That's next on my list - a good jointer plane.
great content! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
And we enjoy watching them sir 👍 😂
I’ll keep making them as long as the wife allows it! 😁
Got mine from the original owner's kid. It's in like new condition. Love owning it.
That’s pretty cool to have the provenance of the plane! I once bought a no 5 at an estate sale that had the original receipt with the box from 1949!
Time for an intervention, attending HA (Hand plane Anonymous) meetings, and a belief in a higher power...tool that is. 😂
I’ve been skipping the meetings lately….first step is admitting, and I haven’t made it there yet!!!!!

You can store it on my work bench. I’m here to help my friend.
That would all depend on how far “here” is from my workbench here in Illinois. What if I needed it in a pinch?
The most important part is the sole and the sole has got to be dead flat. I've never seen one of these older planes that has a flat sole.
I’ve found a true flat sole more important on a Smooth plane. I try to get these larger planes to .003-.005 and I’ve found that generally works on a jointer plane.
Good deal. I got to get one of them
How do you like the thick iron?
@@DaveCorinth well thick or thin they both do a good job.
Whatta deal!
I certainly think so, and of course I’m glad it made the trip in once piece! Thanks for watching!
😊
I would be happy to buy it if you decide to sell it
Not sure I want to sell it just yet, but you never know!
That iron looks laminated. I'll have to stay tuned for the sharpening.
It’s definitely laminated, as were Stanley irons of the same vintage.

Got a no 6 at a yard sale looks like that no markings just fulton on iron not sure what it is
Stanley made planes for Fulton early on, based off the type 8. Look at the frog underside for the milling indents, to see if it’s a Union delete.
@DaveCorinth there are a swirls and only marking i can find are no 6 on toe and 75 and one half under tote on frame please get back with me I'm kinda new to using and collecting planes
@DaveCorinth it's a goid plane just exact as a stanley bailey like my no 8
How can I send pics I will
Japan ing is rough on heel I'm always torn on whether to strip them or not I never do all mine original as I got them
Hoarding tools driving up prices
I’d say in my honest opinion the two factors that have driven up antique tool prices are (1) Worthpoint and (2) Ebay recommending prices for sellers.
Its for using not looking at 😅😅
And it will be put to use,
Tuning video coming soon!
