I Perfectly Restored This Treasure : Stanley Router Plane No. 71 1/2

This video is about restoring an antique Stanley router plane no. 71 1/2
I bought this plane from an old man in a Flea market but I had no idea how this tool should look like. I was amazed by the patina and the tool itself. After some research I found that except the blade, body and the knobs, all other parts was not original. I decided to start the restoration project no matter what. After sandblasting I used black powder coating and not japanning because I have the opinion that Stanley used japanning because it was one of the most durable finish at that time. I'm convinced that if it had been available in that era, epoxy paint or powder coating, Stanley would have used, like they do it now. Also, in the middle of restoration video you'll see me making a thread on a rod because the old threaded rod was not original. Maybe many of you will say why I didn't use a threaded rod. The answer is that the thread does not exist in my country and that is why I had to make that thread on a steel bar.
Also, almost to the final restoration I restored the collar. It was not original too, but I tried to find an original one and the price was $37 and the shipping to my country $41. I decided to not buy because is too expensive for a collar. I know that means the router plane will remain not original, but I tried my best to make a perfect restoration.
I am beyond grateful that I can made a restoration to a Stanley tool. It was very challenging and a pleasure to work with.
I only hope you will like this restoration video as much as I put the effort inside.
Cheers and stay safe guys !!

    Regardless of the original finish, you have done a superb job on this iconic tool. The one I restored had a nickel finish. The depth rod has a 1/4-24 thread, not a common size here either. I use it for furniture repair and restore. The cutters are available from Lee Valley here in the U.S. for about $20. Used ones on E-Bay cost around $60. I replaced all the hardware with hard brass with walnut handles (my personal touch). Your restores are all beautiful, please continue to post them. (And don't worry about them being different, that is your personal touch!) Thanks for another awesome restore.

You are bringing the world of hand woodworking back for us all to appreciate. Just wonderful!

    You definitely created a beautiful tool in the end. Very nice attention to detail. Having said that, it’s hard as a die hard Stanley collector to see someone remove finish and powdercoat an antique. Removing the casting marks takes away the character. A quick google search will show those knobs are NOT original and Stanley used a lot of rosewood back in the day that loved a nice bit of wax rather than thick lacquer. While beautiful, restorations like these strip away the history and character from an old tool and just turn them into something new. Having said that, you are very talented and do very nice work.

    In the car enthusiast world they call this a "resto mod" - I guess making something old into a like-new, somewhat improved version of an item. Certainly not a restoration. The varnish is awful for a good tool handle in my opinion. I think boiled linseed oil would have been nicer and more useful. From your collecting, can you tell me what the two chamfered holes in the tool base are for? Some kind of accessory mount provision? Also, in use does the plane get used in either direction: pushing and or pulling? Thanks!

    I seen many people that pulled and pushed this tool. I don’t know exactly when you can do that. Because I saw a woodworker who only pulled the tool when he want to obtain a nice finish. Probably depend on what job you do . That 2 holes are for fences. This tool came with 2 fences that help to guide the tool when you have a specific job to do 👍

    Just a tip from someone with a metallurgy background, when using sandpaper to clean a surface, turn the component you are sanding 90° between each step. Makes it extremely easy to see when you have removed all previous sanding marks, and it will actually speed up the process immediately. I used to get down to a 0.02 micron mirror finish this way, and it was relatively quick.

    Absolutely lovely plane. And a great restoration video to use as a light guide for a Millers Falls copy I ran into the other day! Even if it mostly falls under “flatten sole”. Can’t wait to get started on that

    Ya know, while I will never stop loving the look of old, weathered wood and metal with a bit of patina, along with the imperfections that come from the casting process, this was a beautiful restoration. Good job.

    Nice to see this old plane restored. The old Stanley tools were as much works of art as they were practical tools. I have several that I inherited from my grandfather who was a master carpenter. They are still fine tools and very usable and much superior to the low quality imported junk from some far east countries.. Thanks for your patience and fine work.
