Perfect Restoration. Looks Better Than Original.
Thank you Robert 👍
Attn to detail is spot on! Great job!
Thank's man 👍🤛
Informative video. I just bought an old Stanley no. 4 on ebay in order to restore. Still debating on whether to use a wire wheel brush or a rust removal solution (Evapo-Rust) to remove the rust first. Or a combination of both? Not sure if there's a procedure of when to use which method. Would like to here if you have any thoughts on it. If it really matters which way or not? Also, I wasn't sure if you removed all the paint from the inside surface of the sole or not or does it matter before repainting it? thx
Thanks man 👍 the evaporust works really well and it removes all difficult to reach spots, the paint is jappaning so if you want to use your plane everyday I won't be bothered by removing it if most of it coming off. Also i didn't flattened sole as it was pretty nice and flat. But I'm using this plane on every project and it works very well.
Very nice! That's a very handsome plane.
Any idea what kind of wood the handle and tote are?
Thanks Shaun, i think it's a rosewood
Very nice restoration! Personally I would prefer the video to be mostly normal speed-even if it turns out longer-instead of so much fast forwarding. But that’s just my preference. You obviously put a lot of hard work into the plane, and it really shows. Great job!
Thank you very much Russ 👊 I'm learning allot with every project and keep improving my editing skills.
Hi bro 👋👋👋 good to see you 🤝🤝🤝 very good restoration hand plane 👍👍👍 and video cool 👍
Hello mate, thank you 😁 good to see u too 🤛👍💪
Woah, that thing was in bade shape! The amount of work you put into this is amazing. My Stanleys weren’t in nearly as bad shape and yours still looks way better. Nice job.
Thanks man 👊 believe me it's not the worst one 😅
عمل جميل ورائع
It looks great man! The wood and blade adjustment knob looks really awesome. I’ve restored a Stanley “handyman” plane myself and know the time and effort it takes to restore one. From one avid tool restorer to another fantastic done! I just subscribed!
Yes it took me a good 12 hours with recording the video or even more 😁 thank's for subscription 💪👏👍
Nice job but you don't rest a plane like that you lay it on its side
@janineshaw7643 thank you, i know that this topic is well known in woodworking community and I'll follow what Rob Cosman said about that 👍
So what exactly is poured into the plastic for soaking? It must be a big secret since it isn't shown nor is it in the description.🤷♂️🤷♂️
Sorry for missing description but the liquid is called EVAPORUST
I hope this will help 👊
@@MatthewMoustache yessir. Thanks
You did a really crummy job on the knob and tote. The lever cap looks bad also ! Did you even flatten the sole ?
This is not a restoration. This is a “cleaning” and resharpening. I own close to 300 planes. You do not drill out the wishbone pin. You should use a smaller punch to push it out. You removed all the japanning which is far superior to paint. Japanning is also hard to replicate. Your side are most likely not true to the sole because of the grinder you used to clean them. I have no idea if you lapped the sole flat or just sanded it. I didn’t see you fix the handle or address the cracks. I wondered why you took a chisel to the handle which is rosewood. The offset you chiseled off was because the handle was broken. You just thinned it out. I think the end result looks nice but not restored. I think this plane is good for a scrub plane and general work. Luckily it was just a bailey #4 and with the kidney shaped lever it wasn’t very old. Still a very solid handplane but will still need to be tuned up to perform the best it can. Hey everybody has to start somewhere.
Why do some people get obsessed with getting 90 degrees with the sides and the sole? That's completely unnecessary, you are removing more material than you have to with no benefit. Unless the sides are extremely wacked you can just use the adjuster to get perfect results with a shooting board.
I agree with no drilling out the wishbone pin by the way, that kind of hurt.
Looks good, but you wrecked it. First, that wasn't paint you removed. It was called japanning and that is what made the plane more valuable. Second, the frog doesn't get painted....ever.
Third, you didn't do anything to true up your plane. I get it. Your trying to be like the other guy with black gloves. You got lucky that it had a sharp iron. But the shavings show it's not trued up.
Thanks, you are kind of right with some steps but also wrong 😅 for me bigger value is working tool and I'm doing stuff in my own personal way, well not everyone will like it 😁
Well, it isn't a very valuable plane to begin with, I don't think it's such a big crime to replace the jappaning over that type with paint, specially if you are not a collector. It is true however that the most important part of any restoration is truing up the sole (wich we don't know how out of true it was. Also we don't know how the back of the iron was, he seemed to just give a few passes over a 1000 grit stone, wich probably didn't flattened it).
I preserve the jappaning of all my planes, but I do got a stanley jointer that has most of the jappaning gone (not one of the really old types, but bailey still) and has very deep rust all over the places where jappaning is gone. I'm planning to strip the jappaning and paint it just like in this video. I have no place to buy asphaltum powder or an old unused oven to make and put new jappaning to it, and it really is screaming for a restoration.
And painting the frog.... that was weird, king of sacrilegious, but not that terrible.
All of the frogs have paint he even stripped it off. And if there is almost no japanning left why wouldn't you take it off and paint it to make it better for use in a shop?
