That old black "paint" is actually called Japaning. I read that it was developed in England and can be done in a cold process (it looks melted on.) Was really durable but most old planes at least have chips or worse in that finish. You did a nice job leaving some of the patina on the tote and knob. If you ever want to become expert in sharpening by hand watch Rob Cosman do his magic on plane irons, chisels, and any edge tools. Great video! Thanks for the entertainment! I have my grandfather's 1915 Stanley Jointer plane. It measures like a #7 does today. He was a carpenter and when I was 15 I built 2 houses with him and my Dad in the summer of 1975. Learned so much and became much closer with him as well!

Well done, sir.

Thx for the video, great job. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

After use vinegar with Bicarbonate de soude you MUST always wash all the items in clear water and put on them fluids like WD40 or 3in1 oil and ... no return of rust ! I like all this old tools made by Stanley ; however the actual poor conditions they are, a pinte of "elbow oil" can make them more usefull than new one ! I use also an ultrasonic cleaner ; after had used bath of water + vinegar + bicarbonate de soude ( soda bakery powder ? ) and rinse in clear water, I put all the stuff in ultrasonic cleaner with a drop of digreaser or dishes liquid soap . Three minutes after all is clean like as new ones ! Mine is made by Leuchtturm and it is very effective ! Thanks you for all your videos ! Stay safe and healthy !!!

I repeat myself, again: this channel will be famous very fast.

I recently did this to my grandfathers plane that's from the 1930's. Feels great to have a tool he used for decades still fully functional. Helps me remember him.

Excellent Restoration. This Would Be An Outstanding Shelf Ornament And Of Course, A Great Shop Tool. Keep Up This Kind Of Work. Thank You.

Great job cobba. From Western Australia

THANK YOU...for sharing. Very nice.

I'm usually not a fan of music-heavy channels *but* the style, quality and production of your videos is spot on. Everything works well together, and I feel happier after watching your uploads.

Nice!

Hand plane restorations literally never get old. So nice to see life brought back into something most people would consider trashed.

Who needs a Gym when you have to sand everything by hand this way... Fun project as always:D

Besides my pro-tips, your sharpening skills are mad good. The use of a 400/1000 and the RULER trick that most folks don't know about in the 2-bevel system is top-notch pro-level shit. Nice job overall.

Before I got into woodworking I inherited 2 old wood block hand planes. I had them for years and gave them to someone that expressed an interest. I have been kicking my own butt for that poor decision ever since. I have watched a lot of videos that show old tool restoration, including old hand planes. This is one of the most thorough and best restorations I have seen. I sure wish I had those 2 old planes now!

I have a Stanley No. 3 that was my father-in-law's before he passed. It was his dad's prior to that. I really want to do something like this and continue to use it - for the story behind it and just to have in my collection.

Note for the future: always apply thin coats of paint. It feels like it takes longer but it’ll always come out looking the best. Thin coats, let it settle for a second, and then another coat. Great video as always!

Well done lad nice job, great to see an old tool best to its best, great video

Thanks upload video

Amazing !!! Thanks for this video :-)

Wow! I've watched some really awesome restoration videos, but your restoration has to be the absolute best one I've ever seen. It turned out so gorgeous! You did a phenomenal job! I've collected about 5 or 6 Stanley hand planes from yard sales and antique stores. 1 other brand (can't remember off hand) and one Stanley no 6 that was found in the dumpster at my husband's work. It's missing a few pieces, but he saw it and thought I'd want it. Are you kidding? My face lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. "Heck yea I'll take it. Thanks for rescuing it for me." I haven't restored any of these yet. I'll get around to it one day. Your restoration is so thorough and so precise. I thought you were joking when you said this was your first hand plane and first restoration. I thought there's no way. I've heard some say don't restore them and some say do. I pick do. It's a tool and it can still be used to the fullest now as it did almost 100 yrs ago. I've heard restoring it will degrade the value and I've also heard it will increase it. I feel a restored one is more appealing since it's usable. Thumbs up and new sub. Keep up the great work.

heck of a job well done 👍

I am shook up lol! That plane has hardwood knob and tote. It's got the plastic adjuster knob. Both say War era. The lever cap looks to be earlier type 11-13 (pre-1930's) The hardware holding the knobs is brass which would not be from war ear because of rationing. The body is cast with the wishbone look on the frog receiver which was produced after WW2.

I just found an old small hand plane in the garage. This video suddenly seemed much useful for me ^^

I just can't tell you how much I've enjoyed your work. So soothing

Most underrated youtuber out there keep it up🙌🙌

Lovely restoration. I used to use my Dads No 4, which he got from his Dad. Great memories :)

Hi Alex, great video as always! I don't know if anyone else has commented similarly, but it's pronounced bakelite like baker-light - as in something a bread maker uses to see in the dark 😆 Thanks for teaching and guiding us all with your videos

You did a good job, that's a good looking plane. FYI, the front edge of the lever cap can be used on the screw that attaches the chip breaker to the blade.

I bought a Stanley plane two years ago, and it is almost exactly the same design and size as yours. It has cheap plastic knobs and handles, and a flat plane surface, not nice grooves. Great work on restoring that piece, it's awesome that old tools still can be useful 👍.

Not sure about the music. Other than that, Amazing job. It's honestly better than most "woodworker" channel.

I've got an old Bailey No 4 that my grandfather used and then my dad and now me. I love restoring old tools, especially those with a known history but I have never restored a plane but it's my next project. Yours turned out looking awesome. I like how you blued the screws. That was a really good idea. I've got some cold blue and I think I'll do the same on my plane. Great Video! 👍

amazing project looks great

This video encouraged to restore my father's century old hand plane. Congrats 100k!

Somehow this makes me happy to see a beautiful old tool like that back in action. Thanks!

the diy 2by4 base you used to remove that screw at 2:30 (ish) was a brilliant idea.

I always love a good plane restoration but even better when it has the energy and good vibes that’s in all your videos I really enjoy watching your content and the plane looks ace

So many steps and tools! Very cool to see a pro at work and the result looks really nice!

Awesome restore amazing job my friend

I've got a couple of old hand planes and your video motivates me to get them restored. Nice work, as usual.

I am using a couple of these old hand planes and I've never seen one with a tote and knob made from beech. Probably because I've never went that far in restoring them. You did a great job! Amazing result! I might just go the extra mile myself on the next clean/adjust day.

Pro-tip #2 - put the nob in a threaded rod w/ nuts and put it in the drill press. its MUCH easier to do than the lathe.

Awesome restoration. Now it looks better than a new one. Greets from switzerland

Yayyyy another video! It feels like I’ve been waiting too long, I love your vids so so much!

Nice piece...good job on the refinish.

Amazing restoration! Good job 👍👍👌👌👏👏

I hope I would look that good when I'm 57 :-P Absolutely fantastic restoration! Have fun with it and greetings from germany, I really enjoy your videos !

Sandblasting would be perfect.

Woooooooow idk if this coincidence second time but if u remember i said i came here just now to check if u have uploaded and boom i see a new video by Alexandre!!!!!!!

Awsome restoration Alexandre, I have a Stanley 7 I should do this on. I had no idea vinegar did that. Also, candle wax on the bottom of the plane will help it slide a bit better over the wood. Looking forward to your next video.

I was told to put the plane together and under tension before lapping the sole as the metal can bend slightly. Just retract the iron.

Awesome job, it turned out great! 😍👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻

Have you ever thought about sand blasting? Maybe that would help you out in some of your jobs! Great videos as always, thanks.

Really nice work! Please do more restoration videos! Med vänlig hälsning från söte bror :)

Next thing to get is a sand blaster.

Hi bro 👋👋👋 good to see you 🤝🤝🤝 awesome restoration hand plane 👍👍👍💣👌🏽✌🏻🇷🇺

Pro-tip. Use a wire wheel to get all the rust off.

Que genio! Me ha gustado mucho el video de restauracion, si haces más los veré!! El canal esta bueno!

Great job. I have done a couple restorations, but not to the excellent finish you did. Love the videos, keep them coming.

Always love to watch restorations. expecially when they are turned into great videos too! side note; How about a milling/lathe project Alexandre? I would be really interested to see what you can come up with!

Really nice! I think the only thing I can speak of from experience would be to ease up on the spray paint application next time. Multiple light coats will adhere better, stand up to time better, and leave a nicer finish.

I would have flattened the sole when the plane was fully assembled and tensioned up because the cast iron actually moves a little bit.

Fine restoration but try shellac or linseed oil for your woodwork ,it gives an original look !

You're supposed to flatten the sole with the planer assembled as it flexes a bit. If that doesn't bother you you could just as well use a belt sander or something.
