1890s Transitional Hand Plane [Restoration]
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This transitional hand plane was most likely made by the Ohio Tool Company around the turn of the century. This restoration needed a lot of attention as some parts were missing or user-made.
I've used a yoke from a donated Stanley No. 3. I also added a jatoba sole since the restoration process took off some thickness and it is much harder than the original beech.
Shavings came off great from the black walnut!
Thanks to wood.work.LIFE for sending me the plane. Check that channel out: / @woodworklife

"Around the turn of the century". So much work to restore a tool of less than 20 years of age :-)
Damn, another one I missed!! Really good video ... I love the fact that you openly experiment with processes to find new and better ways to repair and strengthen. But, more importantly, you gracefully accept criticism and advice to refine your methods. It shows just how dedicated you are to tools, their history and restoration and not your ego. You really are the best!! Cheers ...
Laughed out loud in my office at "Morning Wood"...excellent!
Is it just me, or is that plane about the most awesome woodworking tool? It's gorgeous. Simply beautiful.
Quietly watching away......."oh he's sharpening a chisel.....oh my, look how sharp it is he must be using it to remake the woode..........wait........no.......oh god NO.....NOOOOO..... ". Haha, brilliant lol.

Yeah that got me too when he went after the plane metal parts with it I was like NOOOOOOO.
Nice restoration however i have a tip! I am a Luthier in training and have to deal with stabilizing wood with cracks a lot, usually in restoration of older guitars and viola and by far the best method to fill the cracks and strengthen the wood that i have been taught is to use a thin "wicking" CA glue, it seeps deep into the cracks and dries clear, you can also force dust from the wood you are working on into the crack along with the CA, sometimes you wouldn't even know there was a crack!

Great tip! I usually use epoxy or CA glue, but I thought the foaming glue would expand into the cracks. It didn't really do that though...

Hand Tool Rescue I thought the same thing on a saw handle I restored. unfortunately polyurethane glue tends to leave unsightly white glue lines which are really obvious.

I was about to recommend the same thing. Yeah, gorilla glue expands, but that expansion has _zero_ strength. Those polyurethane glues only work with compression. When foam does manage to expand into cracks that means that the crack isn't compressed, so it's just a bunch of fluff. Low-viscosity CA glue makes use of capillary action to wick, and still cures to something good and rigid. The only downside is that it doesn't wear evenly; it's much harder than wood. So for the bottom of wooden planes, you usually don't touch them with anything beyond wood-glue, and even then, I'll bail on a plane if it has a crack that looks too bad.

With tools you're really just trying to restore the integrity. Looking nice is nice, but strength is the more important factor. Plus those fixed cracks become part of the charm of the piece. Fixed up tools won't ever become collectors items.

I turn a lot of pens, so I'm fully aware of how great thin CA glue is. I use it and thick CA for so many different applications now. I see it as being like duct tape or wd-40. Every tool box should have some in it.
You have inspired me. I went to a garage sale and bought an old Polish made hand drill to restore.THanks heaps.

I just bought one of these at a garage sale, a 15" Fulton I believe. I did a partial restore on it, but I think I'm gonna go a little further after seeing what you did. Nice work!
Awesome rescue man! So many cool tricks. I really appreciate you helped ng me out with this one. I am glad to see your channep doing so well. That scene with sharpening the chisel just to use it as a scraper KILLED me. Keep up the good work.

Great rescue as always. I did flinch when you sharpened up your chisel and then used it to scrape paint. But hey, it's your tool. Thanks for posting.
Nice job. Nothing performs quite like a nicely restored transitional plane. I restored an old No31 Stanley Jointer and use it quite often
Outstanding craftsmanship mate. You never fail to educate, entertain and amuse me... “Morning Wood” 😂😂😂😂 It’s been many years since that’s happened. What more can I say? Love your work and your tool line. I’m gonna have to get myself one of those screwdrivers you manufacture. Don’t need one, but just love ‘em. Apart from the Spanner and screwdriver, any more tools in the pipeline? 👍🇦🇺
If you use wood glue in cracks and then sand while wet it fills with the pieces exact color match sawdust. Works wonders, Great quality videos, keep up the good work!!
I love seeing tools from the late 1800s.
a tip for fixing cracks in wood. mix glue with sawdust. makes the repairs look a lot better! :)
Nice job, I enjoy people being creative at getting something old and wasted to work again. Some planes are valuable exactly because most are in the condition this was in-wasted. As an old guy with all ten fingers intact, your planer hygiene made me a little queasy lol... The Gorilla glue, as you found, isn't much use for filling cracks. If you have time, the best approach is to oil the wood weekly for a few months, most of the cracks will shrink a lot if not close up completely. When I have something to fix up that is in my "someday" pile, I try and hit it with some oil frequently. Then use the CA and sawdust trick Conor mentioned.
Such a great channel, learning quite a few tips. And most importantly I love the fact that you're not making it about yourself and spewing dribble like so many others. Not many can make a video so informative with so few words.
Watching these videos and how the tools in them are treated, I can't decide if being brought into this shop is the best thing or the worst thing that could happen to a tool. Remember kids, with enough determination, any tool can be a hammer.

Hello and thank you for your video! thanks to people like you, that's how we know the tools of yesteryear of our ancestors and their working techniques, I do the same, I restore old French tools! I see you put some liquid before putting the glue gorilla, is it water to make the glue swell? thanks again .
I truly enjoy your videos and I look forward to new ones every time they come out you have really taught me a lot and fixing old stuff just a lot of patience thank you
So satisfying to watch. Thank you for making these awesome videos that help me find zen.
I love the way you work and your sense of humor ! greetings from France
I picked up one of these planes with a bunch of old tools.....I'm thinking I may have to restore it as well, thanks for another great video!
Thank you for this. I was just given an old transitional plane which I believe is a Sargent VBM No. 3416. I've been at a loss as to where to start cleaning it up. This is a huge help.
Sharpens crusty chisel, ruins blade on forged metal. That was hilarious - great editing. Missed about 2 minutes of the video laughing. Well done, sir. Well done.

btw if you mark the spot where you take the before with tape you can easily put the after next to it and get a nice clean composite vs the cut together you ended up with ( I almost thought you had composited it at first! ) Great video as usual.
Yeah!!! ya saved the original wood! And a Rescued tool saves another!!
Nice job. I restored an identical one a few years ago. Identical except that all the parts were there and it didn't have those stupid blobs of braze on it. My solution for the mouth of it was a maple inlay, and I didn't polish and sand/scrape off all the original paint and finish you did. But it works great. Though I still prefer my old steel Stanleys for use. Once those old things are properly tuned and set up, lapped on glass by hand with carbide sand.. Micro flat and a joy to use.
You always do a great job
Your videos are always so interesting to watch. Excellent job!
great tip about the saw dust for vibtation
That's probably the coolest circular saw I've ever seen! @ 7:08
I like how you made the new sole plate:)
Awesome. Love the hand plane restores.
I know I'm like 2 years late on this one, but I kind of got worried when you showed the valve lapping compound until I realized what you were doing lol. Nice restoration
Was thinking for the cracks in the wood and such, that epoxy might be a good fix instead of glue. Love your videos.

Nice job on the restoration. I haven't come across many of these planes that are worth the effort to restore. The lever caps, in particular on the Sargent's, seem to be too flimsy, and made it difficult to achieve precision adjustments. I tried everything I could think of to get them to work, but generally with little luck. Around a year or so ago I came across a transitional from a maker called Marten Doscher, and it had a real lever cap, they style you might see on an infill plane, and it was the first transitional I've ever restored that worked the way I feel a plane should. If you come across one of these I would highly recommend checking it out.
Using a plane to restore a plane. - A whole new level of planeception. :D

Excellent! I like the sawdust trick (since I'm not normally in a woodshop, I've used rags and towels on a surface for this, but never sawdust). The lapping of the two metal parts towards the end, I think you may have better results if you lap the crowned surfaces on a piece of glass first, as a reference flat surface, and then as a precursor to the lapping compound, if it was me, I might also consider putting a sandpaper surface on the lapped crown piece and sanding down the lower mating half before using the pipe-lapping compound, so it takes less than 1/4 million strokes. ;)
Que relíquia essa plaina de transição. Parabéns belas restauração.
Nice work. Rather than use sawdust to help with vibration, you may want to save a piece of flat thin foam packing material that often comes as protective packaging in boxed items. It gives you a flatter surface to work from and helps to hold your work piece in place. Michael Bradley

I really like your use of Gorilla Glue. So many people get hung up on using various compounds, mixes, and epoxies when Gorilla Glue with a little water is so convenient, expands on its own into cracks without further splitting the wood, and can be sanded. You may want to ask Santa for a soft brass wire brush though and save the old beater hard steel chisel for something other than scraping metal - but then again it is your tool and your hard chisel. Obviously you are using a soft touch. I admire your work. Michael Bradley

Sharpening the chisel only to use it to scrape paint, priceless.

I enjoyed the video! Keep it up!
Great job as usual, thanks for the viewing.
Great video! I want to make my own plane sometime soon, so this is very useful. Thank you!
2:45 Wow, that chisel is sharp. My great-uncle did the same thing once with an axe blade. No joke. I was just a kid then and it absolutely blew my mind, I don't know how he sharpened it to get it like that.
Nice resto!
Beautiful! Thanks for a great video.
This is another entertaining tool shop video. thanks thumbs up.
Hello Troll here! You can use a high pressure wash to remove the paint. Then you do not have to knock down the chisel.
I really like your penetrating oil mix, atf and acetone if im not mistaken, the only thing youre missing is a ratcheting driver set, i bought one for stubborn screws on the old rusty guns i refinish and it has come in handy many many times where a screwdriver just wont work
RARE AND VERY NICE.FROM BRAZIL MY FRIEND.
I got one of these stanly planes coming in the mail glad you made this video. Even got a Worth plane comin too dont know their age
I like it my brother great job on the restoration :)

A wood plane made of wood! I like it.
I just picked up the same plane in an antique shop while visiting friends in New Hampshire this week. I wasn't sure who the mfr was as the blade, chip breaker and lever cap are missing, but it does have the frog. I know what's the point. It was $5 and it's fun honing my restoration skills. I'll be scouring the net for the missing parts/donor plane. Excellent video and subbed to your channel.

Definitely worth it!
I would have just gotten some sawdust from the wood you were sanding, mixed it with regular wood glue and pushed it into the cracks, and regular wood glue would have been the best solution for the halves of the handle. A wood glue joint becomes the strongest part after it dries. That was the method I used on an old Stanley plane I restored
Old tools and such be quite valuable Does restoreing make it more valuable or less?
Wonderful work !!!
