I thought I should slow it down for this hand plane restoration. I haven't done one in so long and I miss it! Hand planes are the reason I got hooked on restorations in the first place. Enjoy!

Has a strong Art Deco vibe to it, like Gadsbys Carpenter finally had enough of his extravaganza and put the Plane to rest - happy you ressurected this one - such a enjoyable video - Thanks Dude!

I see you have picked up ToT's "Subscribe" tactics and I love it. XD

I would love to see a retrospective of the tools you've restored! You know, like a "Where are they now?" kind of thing. I believe that a display and a little back story of all these functional works of art would be of interest to a lot of viewers.

Several months ago I asked HTR to restore my life. And honestly with minimal effort on his part I'm glad to report that he came, through! I have a job I like, I found new hobbies, and my kids are even behaving better. Thanks Hand Tool Rescue!

He really did.

as soon as i saw the finish on the body and knob i thought, " Eric loves Japanning". great job, once again

It is great to see the old hand tools being made new again. I would guess that most carpenters or cabinet makers wouldn't know what this tool is. Superb.

This and the fractal vise are so interesting. Tools lost to history and still useful today. :)

HTR restored my hard drive, the wetlands in my backyard, my faith in humanity And my will to live! Thanks Hand Tool Rescue!

Just bought a 113 last week. Missing the handle. Thank You for posting.

I always take a long time to watch your videos completely because I always fall asleep watching them. Too relaxing for me.

I come for the sand blaster shenanigans and stay for the high quality restorations and ASMR

That seems like a ridiculously logical tool that I've never seen or known about.

That blasting cabinet is a source of so much fun. :-D

I sure others have said so, but the "sitcom" opening to your videos is AWESOME!

Watching the parts basket come up out of the evapo-rust barrel is so satisfying. That stuff is the bee's knees. Sometimes I pick up rusty bits of hardware off the street and de-rust it just to feel alive.

That big front knob, all engraved and etc. is gorgeous.

That's a neat plane I never realized one like that existed but now that I've seen it it makes total sense.

Yes, its sad how so many people today, think anything old, is outdated, and of "inferior" design to all new stuff. There is an air of intellectual arrogance very rampant in todays society, when it comes to machinery of the past.

It's always fun to see the creative ways they did things back then. We don't see as much of those ideas anymore now that the problems we're engineering for are different.

Today is a glorious day, another hand tool rescue video.

I couldn't imagine what that type of plane was used for. Fascinating.

I am glad you slowed this restoration down. It worked, plane and simple.

Must admit japanned and nickel-plated surfaces are a really beautiful combo.

Your intro is the only intro I don’t skip.

I love old tools.....if only they could show you all the things they have made/fixed ! I don't think I have ever seen a hand plane like this . I think this most versatile plane so useful.....and you did a GREAT job restoring this !!👍👍

The sand blaster scenes always get me.

The only show I watch where I hit the like button before the intro starts!! Your craft is amazing, Bravo!!

I always do it after the intor, too captivating intro to do it before ;)

Never seen anything like this. Every now and then I am reminded of old tools I did not know existed existed

Blasting cabinet scenes are the best. Love to see it!

After that Transfomers sound effect, I was half expecting the Transformers transition between the scenes. Great job and entertaining video as always.

Speaking as a woodworker who knows what a good compass plane is worth, the intial hammer-banging steps hurt me deeply, but then the cleaning and getting-it-back-together steps were heavenly. Also, I am happy to find out I am not the only person whose standard for sharpness is to be able to shave my forearm, instead of the dumb old paper cutting.

The ornate details old tools have never ceases to amaze me. Awesome restoration.

In my 73 years this is the first one of this type I've ever seen. Nice restoration.

didn't know I needed one of these until now

Never ever change your Intro, it’s hilarious 😂😭👍🏼

Pure genius, a plane that only works when pointing north

Amazing plane! Never seen one that could cut curves before. Beautiful work.

I can't wait to see what they do with Poison's character arc. Should be juicy.

Of all the antique planes I own, have restored, and seen, I haven't found one of these. Very cool.

Dude, I love the content and it just keeps getting better. The intro's are getting even funnier too. I thought it was really cool watching you repair that square bolt head that was cracked in half. It didn't even occur to me that was an option haha. Thanks for all the rad videos

Yes please and thank you! That is a beautiful tool

I'm actually amazed that you still keep using that old vaporust solution and its still effective even after using it for many projects.

I have one of these! Had it for maybe 30 years and never seen another one! Albert - England.

Dayam! - in the right hands, that would be an EXTREMELY Handy tool!

I am so glad to see you again, thank you for allowing me to watch you work. I know this is going to be great . I am from the USA a small town in Ohio.

I enjoy your personal sense of humor in each video sir. Good job!

That's pretty smooth... The engineering and ornate tools of that era never cease to amaze me. I love the videos! Keep up the fantastic work!

Complex problems solved with ingeniously simple mechanical solutions. And on top of that, a sprinkling of 'let's beautify the thing a bit, we're not savages..'

It would have never occurred to me that such a thing would work. Always amazed by some of the old tools you come up with. Well Done.

Nice short Plane video. I was board and glad it shaved a few minutes off my day.

Should have japaneed the knobs then sanded them to bring out the detail. Also, I love how there's the fractal vise in the background at the end to emphasise how much they "dont make them like the used to"

You and that sand blaster LMAO!!🤣 Those silver knobs are sweet!!!

That japanning, though! 😩👌 Your recipes have come a long way.

Looks good. Can't think of a better way to relax and recover from surgery

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota

Впервые вижу ТАКОЙ рубанок! Как всегда интересно.

Nice to see everyone's favorite guest stars, Poison and Fire. That when you know it's a kid friendly episode.

So glad to see you posting. Thanks very much.

That is a sweet planer. No doubt a big help to early air plane manufactures and old ship wrights that had to make mock-ups of vessels. Really handy tool.

Здравствуйте! Очень интересный рубанок! Как всегда ваша работа понравилась!

Stanley was a Genius!!

My Dad has one just like that in an old tool chest in his cellar. I remember playing with it when I was a kid. Beautiful tool and great restoration.

Dude, you are one of the coolest guys I have ever not met. Keep on doing what you do. Please.

morning, lv the restoration of the 1879 compass plane. u sir are a vintage hand tool guy.. lv from florida.

Merci pour cette nouvelle découverte, c'est la première fois que je vois un rabot de ce type et je comprends en te voyant l'utiliser à quoi il pouvait servir 👍

I have my dads one of these, still used quite often for arch finishing on jobs. So good to see one being given the love it deserves.

Very cool differential screw mechanism.

Can you imagine the engineering that went into designing this plane. Boss, hey we need a plane with a curved base. Engineer: ok, I can do that. But the base needs to be adjustable. Hmmm, I think I can do that. Boss, yes it needs to adjust evenly from convex to concave. Engineer, I quit. A beautiful restoration on an amazing plane and the Japaning looks awesome. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

Intro was hilarious. Your restorations are awesome!

That's excellent, Eric. Thanks for sharing that.

You sir are one talented man. To God be the glory!

Well done Optimus Stanley.

Beautiful restoration for an awesome antique tool!

The only thing more satisfying than this video is using a well-made and well-tuned hand plane! 😊

That’s a bad ass wood slider cutter thingy many wows

i was so impressed with his big shiny knob ,great work :P

the ingenuity of mankind, oh how we tend to fail to remember. thank you for restoring all the examples of early necssity keep up the projects.

I have an early model 113 myself. It doesn’t get a ton of use but comes in handy when I do need it.

I didn’t even know “curved” planes existed, lol. Awesome.

WOW! Never saw one of those....and I'm an old man! lol Fascinating to watch!

Very nice restoration. Very BEAUTIFUL plane.😎

never seen a plane quite like that interesting design great job restoring it look forward to more like it thanks

I saw Matt Cremona using one earlier this week on his furniture build.

So happy to see you restore an actual hand tool again haha! Maybe start a secondary channel where you only restore hand planes? Just go through that massive collection you have upstairs one by one. :)

Incredible craftsmanship. Looking forward to viewing more. 👍

That’s fantastic. Love the narration too!!! Lol. Absolutely awesome. I do enjoy watching you and the tools you have e found to restore!!! Thanks!!!!

You always find the best and most interesting tools!

That is a sweet tool. Well done, Sir!

Your restoration of this compass plane brought back many memories from my boat building apprenticeship- and wishing I had as nicely redone a plane as that one!! Finishing out the interior planking with one that wouldn't hold adjustment really taught patience! 🤣 Great job!

Wow! I haven't seen one of those for decades. He was a boat builder and had three in different sizes. Thanks for posting this!!

Haven't watched for a while. It's "plane" to see you've still got it!

I've actually got one of these. had for years no idea what it was called. great to finally know.

Even after so long, the intro still makes me smile when you take off the glasses and smile at the camera. Loved the restoration so much I would even offer to buy the plane !

Must've been relaxing disassembling that thing compared with your usual restorations.

Nice work,pretty display tool. Thanks for the look.

I love restoring old tools but just don’t have a place to do it…or a place my wife will let me do it. I fell in love with it by restoring a well used M-14.

Nice work! I too have a love for hand planes

Wow that is a bizarre tool, but effective for radiuses! Good Job!!

Харизматичный мужик. Хороший реставратор.

Because of you I got my vary own 3gallon bucket of EvapoRust and it worked wonders on my boats rusty flywheel.

Mind. Blown. I've never seen or heard of a compass plane and now I need one.

Can I just say that this is such a great Show.
