This is resurrection, not restoration! You have made this poor little piece of trapped rust become a work of art. You deserve praise, encouragement, and respect. You have brought this old marvel to another "plain". Hats off to you Sir. My deepest respects. (I just love that beautiful English Racing Green- so much warmer than the original cold Record blue- which I don't like either)

Outstanding job. I love to see hand tools brought back to their former glory. 👍

Good lord there are too many videos of plane restoration. But really, good lord I watch too many. And somehow- this one is still near the top. Makes me want to take my sort of restored planes to a new level. But why.... my woodworking needs more work than my planes need paint! Thank you for this. Keep em coming.

Can never have too many.

I'm an avid consumer of plane-restoration vids and have to say, this is one of the best! What a transformation. You could have glued the rear handle successfully using epoxy but that doesn't matter when you can demonstrate making such a superb replacement - one of the best hand-made plane handles I've ever seen, so major kudos for that alone! I knew as soon as your caption said it that you were referring to lapping the sole with the frog and irons not fitted and I know the supposed truth that this is necessary, but actually this has been debunked numerous times. Guys have lapped empty plane bodies then later fitted everything, squiggled the sole with a marker and run the plane over abrasive and the marker that was immediately removed shows there was no change in the geometry. That's not to say it can't _ever_ happen, but it seems it's not normally an issue to do as you did initially. I don't know if I can post a link to it but one of the best demos of this if on the YT channel *Plane Collector* who also has lots of other great content showing his restoration methods in detail.

Thanks for your kind words! 👍 Interesting you say that about the lapping of the plane, I found when I went back to flatten it again there wasn't much of a difference (if any at all).

Landrover Green? Absolutely! The colour, they should have been. Bravo! Cleaning out a deceased estate and have picked up a number of old tools, including planes. I have enough projects, but this has inspired me to have a go. Thanks

Thank you for posting this. You have raised the bar in my tool restorations.

I have to say... this was an amazing transformation. I am getting back into wood-working after a 40 year absence... and am looking at older/vintage hand tools rather than the new power tools since the vintage tools are what I was taught to use. I have an old Stanley No. 4 plane that a neighbor is giving me that is almost as rusty as this one you showed. Hoping I can do as good a job in restoring it as you have done with this Record. Great video and thanks for sharing.

Думаю что с момента продажи, много, много лет назад, этот рубанок не был так хорош как сейчас 😁 Гениальная реставрация 👌 Браво 👏❤️!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant restoration, I like the colour. Particularly impressive new handle and knob.

Excellent work, it looks like it came out of the factory.👍🏽

A most impressive restoration! Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks.

Memorizing video and amazing restoration, especially the new handles!

C'est du bon travail bravo encore

A fine job and excellent recovery. A+!

That's one of the best restoration I have seen The handle and knob are fantastic the colour is spot on and it looks and works fine. Thanks for sharing your time and skill and remember stay safe and make more great videos 🍺🍺👍👍🇬🇧

Not sure how I came here but it is great. It is the best plane restoration I have seen. It requires knowledge on the use of the tool to restore it correctly. It is a perfect, better than new restoration but with technical details in mind. Perfect. Sole flattening - ✅ Frog flattening - ✅ Blade sharpening - ✅. Assembled correctly - ✅ Final result: a usable tool that actually takes some fine shavings.

Инструмент - просто фантастика. Но и Мастер, выполнивший все работы, так же на высоте.

Looks great! But here's two tips for better performance while planing. Don't sandblast the interior ground surfaces of the plane body, those have to mate well with the frog to eliminate chatter. Also don't use the buffer on the plane sole, it needs to be dead flat especially around the throat for best performance.

The shaving call to action got me. Done. Beautiful result, excellent work. ❤ed it!

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho de restauração,SHOW.

Nice. Work. Excellent attention to detail!

Loved the snack-grab!😂😂😂

I think when the purists refinish their own plane, they can chose how they want to finish it. Until then, they should just enjoy this masterful work. Well done!

Tip for drilling holes on an angle: take a piece of scrap wood, draw a line on it, clamp it to the side of the work piece so it lines up with the hole you want to drill, line the drill up with the reference line as you go.

Loved your process! Another antique tool saved from the scrap yard!

Amazing job, perfect restoration. Colour choice was good and it's a classic colour anyway so you can't go wrong with that choice. Fabrication of the wooden handles were perfect so over all, it's a 10/10 in my opinion.

I really like the green you've gone with. Not only does the paint have depth, but green goes well with the brown wood stain, and with the brass parts. Plus the white lettering looks good on it.

Exquisitely done! Thanks for sharing!

The green looks so good i think Record would have chosen the green over the blue once they saw your work which i think would have competed favourably. The best restoration i have ever seen.I'm pretty sure you flattened the sole once reassembled. I think you can buy them for around $300-$400, it still wouldn't be enough for the work you put in and the awesome result.

I love it, finally i found someone that did a serious restoration

BRAVO, BRAVO! This had me mesmerised from start to finish. I'm just about to restore my first, a Stanley No.4 plane. Was watching this for tips, if mine turns out a half as good as this one I'll be a proud man. Excellent work fella.

A work of Art. Outstanding.

Beautifully done. I like the deep green color. I don't think I'd worry about the flatness of the bottom. None of these planes were flattened when they were made. If you watch the Plane Collector video dated 01/18/18 (Lapping a bench plane fully assembled v. bottom only ) that myth was busted. You work was stunning!

I’ve restored several old Stanley planes and appreciate the quality of your work. I don’t mind color change, just not sure about green. 😊

First of your videos I've watched, but it won't be the last. Amazing bit of work, looks like you've done this sort of thing before! I especially enjoyed watching the making of the new handle (I literally thought to myself at the beginning, "How do they make those handles?") Also enjoyed your improvisions with your drill press. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.

AWESOME restoration. Just the right amount of shine on the metal (brushed look looks great) and the colors look fine, as well. I was especially impressed with the making of the two wood pieces. Drill press lathe: use what you got and make it work.

at 17:00, I would have left the sandblasted and to be painted pieces bare and maybe put some gun blue on it. I love the contrast of the sandblasted ground surface with the polished and sharpened surfaces. But still, the handplane was gorgeous once and you made it gorgeous again! Many thanks for sharing!

Excellent! Two points/questions- It appears that the handle broke along the grain line, did you consider running the grain any other way or possibly use another type of material for the handles? Also- in regards to the painting, was Japanning finish considered instead of painting?

@AC-cg4be

2 жыл бұрын

The handles are oriented like that so that when you tighten down the brass screw at the top of the tote, the grain compresses slightly. It really only breaks if you let it get loose (bad woodworker neglecting tools) or drop it (clumsy woodworker). I've gotten match planes stuck and had to use a mallet to break them loose. Unless you smack the horn, the totes won't break due to how the screw going through compresses the wood. Wood was mostly used as it doesn't get slick when your hands sweat like a lot of other materials (metal/plastic, mainly) do. Wood soaks up the sweat then when you put the tool away the sweat evaporates out.

Perfection!❤

Sod the purists! It's your plane so finish it in whatever colour you choose. Excellent job on the resto. 😎

Just beautiful - great restoration and great video! I have to agree with you on the Record blue - not my preferred colour either. If I was to restore a plane with collector value in focus I would stay true to the original. But for all my users I would go with whatever I felt like. Your plane - your rules. I think the green looks awesome. Good choise.
