    Thank you very much for your interest in this video. I am so glad this video was able to guide you.
    I have repaired many and produced many hand planes. If you want a classic style wooden hand plane production video, please let me know. I can prepare a video for you. Stay safe and see you soon in a new video.

    Well sir, I have restored/refurbished several hand planes, both steel and wood, and have had decent success with them, but not quite formula 1 racing results, but I spotted a couple of things you did in your video that, I believe anyway, will enhance the results of my refurbishing efforts, I believe it enough that I am going to go back thru them all and tweak them. As usual, just an excellent out come on your project, thanks for the video.

    This was the video I was looking for. I just bought this plane from Home Depot and I wanted to tune it prior to using; this vid is perfect. Yes, this model comes with plastic handle/tote and knob, but there's a guy who makes cherry, walnut, and exotic wood replacements for $52. and up. So I'll be ordering a set from him bringing my total to about $110, still way below the high-end Stanley models that have nice wood like the Sweetheart and #4 that goes for $200+. Sure, they're also higher end components but this Stanley Bailey model is just fine for my novice DIY projects. I'm also willing to spend some bucks for the wood! ... I was used to the old Stanleys that my late Dad and Uncle had but my brother and cousin have them now. So I got this one just to have one on hand. You helped quite a bit! Thanx for a great how-to video. You helped me set up my new inexpensive plane

      For 52 bucks you can easily get vintage number 4 stanley/bailey with rosewood handles. Paying that money to put on this plane is like lipstick on a pig.. It's a free country though. Now I did add a new hock tools blade and chipbreaker to a beautiful vintage stanley/bailey jack plane I bought at flea market. That made an excellent plane even better.

      @nateroo 2 роки тому

      @@ureasmith3049 Well I appreciate the insight but honestly, I already did look for the vintage ones with rosewood or other wood and no, I did not find any at 52 bucks .. much higher than that if they are vintage. You're right, free country, but in this country market values make it a timing thing... you're either in the right place to get a good deal or when you really want something, everyone is gouging the price! My "pig" is working just fine, feels good in the hands, and my journeymen buddies even borrow it occasionally and compliment me on my tuning. But again, thanx for your insight.

      @@nateroo I hear yah brother. I guess I've been lucky. There are very large flea markets in this area with tons of vintage stanley/bailey at great prices. Twice a year the Martin J. Donnelly Antique Tools comes to a nearby town. Lovely tools in the auction but I go to the parking lot where it's a huge flea market for woodworking tools. You easily find vintage stanley baileys with rosewood handles #4 smoothers and #5 jack planes cleaned up and great condition for 45 to 65 bucks. My #5 jack plane my favorite plane. Hey I didn't know any better and boughtt a new Record plane with plastic handles at a store back in the late 90's. I tuned it up and it take nice shavings but I rarely reach for it. I'll probably give it to some young newbie getting started in WW.

    Thank you very much for this video! I really appreciate people like you posting these types of videos. One question, please: on the first step, when I check my new plane (Stanley Handyman No4; just unboxed it), I can see that the surface is not 100% flat. There is a small gap there when checking with my square edge. What should be done in this case? Would any metal-working file be useful here or something else?

    • @byOldHand
      @byOldHand  Рік тому +1

      thank you very much, nice to see you here. If the bottom os not flat that is a problem and it is better you make it flat. You can do this by sticking sandpaper on a flat surface or glass. It may be suitable if you start with 220 grit. If you leave deep scratches on the metal surface, it may be very difficult to lose it.

    There are so many wonderful features to your videos that is hard to find what is best. What I enjoy the most is the beauty of your images, the wonderful colours, the light of Southern Europe in your workshop, (if I am not mistaken there). Then there is the persistent quest for total excellence of the restored object. Here "restoration" is perhaps not the appropriate word, as you do not "restore" the object to a past, pristine state, but rather create a new state of visual perfection...but I will be the last to complain about that. And a last point: you briefly show your collection of wooden planes. They would be even better objects for your restoration and I await the time that you turn your attention to them. Would there be a better combination of your loves of wood and carbon steel than them?

    Interesting video, I've never seen a plane setup like this before, it's a bit over the top, and there are things that are wrong too, blade sharpening is different, what's the leather thing about?...sanding the sole for what reason?..later Stanley amongst others introduced the fluted sole, before that they introduced the hollow in the sole, one thing iron soles were bad for was chatter marks the flatter the sole the worse it was, hence the hollow the flutes, for rough joinery iron is fine for cabinet work the wooden sole takes top position, still it's an interesting video

    • @byOldHand
      @byOldHand  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you for your detailed review and interest. I sanded the base of the hand grater because I didn't like the leveling quality. this process is actually for a good touch. It had a silky touch with 800 grit sandpaper. I finish all my carbon steel sharpening with leather to get rid of minor imperfections that are not visible to the eye. habit from razor use.

    Bu ön rende ayarlama videosunu izlememiştim, elinize sağlık yeniden. Yorumlarda plastik tutamaçlara şaşıran izleyicinizden yola çıkarak düşüncemi (eksik/yanlış olma ihtimali ile) belirteyim. Stanley rende üretimini Hindistan ve Meksika’ da da yapıyor ve anladığım kadarıyla Meksika ve İngiltere üretimlerinde plastik tutamaçlar kullanıyor. Bununla birlikte ütü ve kurbağa kalitesi düşük olsa da Hindistan üretimi rendelerde ahşap tutamaçlar var. Bu videodaki rendenin arkasında sadece G serisi damgası dışında üretim yerinin yazmaması ama plastik tutamaç kullanılmış olması Meksika yapımı olduğunu düşündürüyor. Sizin elinizden de geçince İkinci Dünya savaşı öncesi üretilmişler kalitesine neredeyse ulaşmış oluyordur. Kurşunlu Han’ ın martı sesleri eşliğinde izlemesi (dahi izlerken öğrenmesi) yine çok keyifliydi, ellerinize zevkinize sağlık.
