The Forgotten Hand Plane ~ Fully Restored & Customized
Ойын-сауық
This old hand plane was sitting on the floor of a closed warehouse directly under a leak in the roof when I found it! Who knows how long it had been there, but the leak definitely did a number on it!
This is a Stanley Bedrock 606 type 4 Hand Plane from between 1908-1910, and is all original! Rust & ALL!
I also restored a BONUS plane in this video! The bonus plane is a Stanley Bedrock #5 Type 4 from the 1920's (I said 1908 in the video, but was mistaken). This plane was originally made for Keen Kutter by Stanley, but was never delivered to them. Stanley had a bunch of extra plane beds for some reason, and instead of throwing them out, they ground off the "K" that was originally in front of the "5" on the plane and then sold them to the public as a Stanley plane with all Stanley hardware! This is one of those planes! They also had the same thing for planes they made for Winchester as well.
I did some NON traditional things with these planes, and I'm sure you enjoy them! I did NOT go with the original "Black" for the plane beds, because when you own something, you can do what you want with it!
I'd love to know your thoughts on this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

A nice job, but I have a few tips that may help you in the future: 1). When flattening the bottom of the plane, do so with everything installed and tightened. When you tighten down the frog, the knob, the blade, and the handle of the plane, they put some amount of stress on the cast iron sole. This will create a small amount of warpage to the plane, which is then removed with the flattening process. If you flatten first, once assembled your plane will no longer be flat. 2). The sides should be milled flat and perpendicular to the bottom. If having them milled is not an option, then they should be flattened using the same process that you used to flatten the bottom (sandpaper adhered to a flat surface). Using the one inch belt sander may have been quicker, but it opens up the potential for other errors. Yes, you can get the whole side to be 90 degrees to the bottom, but it will be very difficult to get the whole length of each side to be perfectly straight. (To visualize what I mean by this, picture the main drag in the town square of any old small town: each old building’s face is square to the street, but each building is set back a different distance from the curb.) 3). Keep some PBBlaster on hand. It’s great for un-sticking rusty bolts and screws, meaning fewer broken bits to remove; plus it helps keep the rust dust to a minimum (more paper towels/shop rags, but less dust in the air and/or in your lungs).

Also your screw drivers should be square on the end not tapered, and should be the width and thickness of the slot in the screw head. This helps to prevent the driver riding out of the screw slot and damaging what were undamaged screws.
Love seeing old tools being restored back to their former glory. Great work.
I love watching theses gems get restored....beautiful work !!!! I used these old tools everyday !!!!
I’ve restored a few old planes but nothing as neglected as that. It looks like fine work to me. Satisfying to watch. Bravo!
Great job. You have taken junk and turned it back into a tool that can be used with pleasure for another 100 years. Definitely worth all your hard work. Thanks for sharing and best wishes.

It doesn’t get any better than this! Excellent!
just starting this video, ive never been more excited to see the result of a restoration video more than this, what a dream to find an old rusty tool like this beauty.
What a beautiful restoration. As a young girl I used to use my fathers planes, they always fascinated me. Love the care and color choices. Well done!
I think you did a GREAT JOB on these! I prefer to use original colors - but many people "customize" their planes. The way I look at it, you saved two planes from the landfill and returned them to doing the work they were made to do. That being the case, color 'em purple with pink polkadots if you want - it's your tool! Well done - thanks for sharing!
I was SURPRISED all of the pieces/parts of the plane were included. Love how you document the "rebuild".

Amazing to watch you return these nice tools back to brand new ... so fun to see what and how you accomplished this. Thank you for sharing.
You did very well. Instead discarding, as nowadays a common habbit, you brought 2 pretty tools back to life.

Excellent restorations. Rusty past is gone and bright future is ahead. It was utterly fun to watch ur video. Someone offers me 2 stanley hand planes as rusty as these two. I feel inspired to buy those rusty planes and bring their past glory back again. One the best plane restorations I have ever watched. THANKS A LOT!!
Nice work! I just restored my grandfather's Stanley No. 606. Mine just needed a lube job and and some sharpening but I threw everything but the bed in Evaporust anyway. Worked like a charm :)

That's awesome! Keep that old iron around!
VERY impressive. Great production value and wordless clarity. Loved seeing the innards of an obviously well loved work area and relevant hand and power tools.
Most of my quality tools are more than 30 years old. My planes are at least 50 years old. I've got a dozen Stanley saws from the 30s and 40s. Most of the stuff sold today is crap. It's possible to find quality tools but not at most of the home improvement stores. After watching this video I honestly went out to my workshop just to look and admire seriously great tool. I took my 75 year old butt plane apart and cleaned it. I bought it at a flea market 30 years ago for $5. I was embarassed by the caked-on saw dust and crud. Taking care of tools isn't difficult, it simply requires some desire and a little bit of time. The care is worth the effort since great tools are damned hard to replace.
Well done. That took a LOT of work! Now they will work again for many years to come.
Wow, that is an impressive restoration job. Thank you for sharing your video. That tool should last for many more years to come.
No matter what color you made them, they are beautiful and ready for another hundred years to be used instead lost and forgotten, love it.

Hand tools wore out, work space is worn out. Hands dirty and cut up. This is what makes your videos great. Wonderful job.
What makes me smile is that beat up screwdriver that’s covered in paint you use to loosen and gently knock on screws has also been beautifully restored by others in restoration videos. So it’s fun to see it covered in paint doing the restoring!
By far the best hand plane restoration video on KZread. Definitely coming back to this one for future use. I tip my hat to you Sir. Well done.
Awesome video. Got one of the steps i needed to reset the blades on an old Stanley Plane i'm working on. Nicely done.
Worth noting that quite a bit of work is needed to properly set up a Stanley even if it's brand new. My Grandfather took me to a swap meet, bought me a small plane and walked me through the process. He has a large collection to which he's added scroll work to the sides similar to what's traditionally added to gun slides. Thank you for posting this video!
Great job. NOW you have something you can be proud of. These old tools taken care of will outlast our grandkids. Great job.
Congratulations, precise and quality work!
What a fine restoration and save. They are beautiful. You took crap and made ice cream. Thank you for sharing your love of old vintage tools.
Thanks for sharing this video. It's a lot of work but I enjoy seeing still-useful tools being returned to functionality again.
You did a great job on both planes; mechanically they seem to work well, plus they look great.
Interesting use of a Torque bit to remove a broken stud. Thank You for the technique.
Good colour choice which gives a modern, contemporary feel to something that is quite old. Yeah, I like what you did.
Great video, the last 3 generations of my family were carpenters, cabinet makers and boat builders, I trying to restore all the tools I have been let over the last 50 years. It was lots of help.
Nicely done. I do more wood working then metal and this was great to see you restore the planes. I am amazed as I thought it would never would be restored with all that rust. Keep up the great work. Tim

Nice to see that some old tools are worth repurposing and not just throwing them out. You can see how they can turn out with a little bit of sweat equity. These videos not only show you how to do the work, but nice to see what material is used in the restoration as well. Great imagination in using colors and the blacking as well. Better than just painting everything the same color with spray paint.

That is beautiful... the amount of time and thought that goes into this restoration.... it's worth it. And not just for resale value, although you could get a fortune for these. The beauty is in the functionality. These are almost perfect planes....
Beatiful restorations. Very well done Sir! Greetings from Southport, UK.
Removing that broken stud the way you did was ingenious!

That looks exactly like my dad's 16" jack plane. He was an ace carpenter and had planes from 16" down to a tiny one that fit in the palm of his hand. He always bought the best quality tools and took good care of them.
Super great job! Love the Johnson paste wax. We used to light it like you did to polish the floors When I was in the army back in the 80s. I like your vids as you just do it without the jabbering some folks do. Now to introduce a young person to a hand plane. 😁

beauty. I really like how you ground down the pitting.
i dont usually comment on videos...however i am compelled to do so now...such a Brilliant restoration, you brought both those old panes back to live and added your own style...Spot on m8...your a Diamond..
Cheers for this video it's going to come in really handy as over the past six months I've been buying planes on Ebay that are in a bad way, I have 15 rusty ones to make new.(they're not as bad as your first one!) and this is going to be great to watch over just incase I make mistakes. More concerned about sharpening them after as I've never done it before!
No need to loosen the lever cap to adjust the iron, if you do you’ll then need to adjust it laterally too. If tuned properly (whether a “restoration” or customization) you should be able to easily adjust both depth of cut and lateral adjust,ents without loosening the lever cap.
Beautiful!!! Simply amazing!!!
I have restored about 6 planes, but not in this bad of shape... Great job and it is great to know you can restore a tool if the tool was made well in the first place!!!!!
Wow you did an awesome job. Thanks for Sharing.
It was so aggravating watching you fighting those screws, hammering on them and the cast metal without even trying wd 40 or something similar.
Excellent workmanship
Well done that man, fantastic restoration m8
I love it when the video goes so fast and the screw gets all shiny!
very nice work, top results!
Wow!!! Maybe some of your bests so far without mean to underestimate previous restorations. However, this one was so highly educational with plenty of methods on how to restore an old tool(de-rusting, painting, sanding, screw removal and many more..even how to easy make vise..extras :) ). This by all means, means a big thank you! I saw that you use my favourite metal screwdriver at the very beginning of this video..I'm glad seeing it again! So much to say but by respecting your time I will just say that you gave these wonderful tools a well deserved treatment. They don't build them anymore like that so you bring them back to life as young and healthy competitors against their youngsters industrialized ones. A real traet for the eyes this video was! Thank you!!!
