The recipe for the japanning mixture was developed by @HandToolRescue - you can watch his video on it here - • Best Japanning Recipe
This week I restore two antique hand planes which I found at an estate sale and will be using on an upcoming project. I discovered that one is a Stanley No. 75 Bullnose plane that was probably manufactured in the 1880's, a first edition that is rare to find today. The block plane is not as rare but is most likely a 1930's to 1940's model so still very old.
I began the project by disassembling and removing the copious amounts of rust on each plane. Once I knew I had a rare model in hand, I decided to try a japanning finish. I blended up a recipe and set it aside to dissolve for several days. I proceeded to remove any remaining rust and dirt using a wire wheel, Dremel, and sandpaper.
Once the parts were clean, I smoothed the finish on each using files and sandpaper to remove corrosion and casting marks. I did not try for a completely smooth finish because these would have come that way new but I wanted to level off high points. I sharpened the blades using files, sandpaper, and a sharpening stone.
I proceeded to zinc plate everything but the blades to prevent future corrosion and then japanned them using a small oven to cure the pieces.
After this, I reassembled, set the blades, and tested performance. Each worked well and are ready to be used on future projects.

I don't understand much of this, I just know there's no one else I see doing this on youtube. This is fascinating to me. I keep watching
Thank you for the support. I am happy that you are enjoying my projects. 🌻
Came out great. And I will have to look into that link for the Japanning. I've tried to find a recipe for ages. Cheer!
Thanks! The video belongs to Hand Tool Rescue. The only thing I will add to it is to use thin coats and layer if you want a thicker coat. Before I filmed this I tried it on blanks and found that thicker coats will not cure at his recommended bake times. Good luck and cheers! 🍻
Looks great! My 8 month old son watched with me his favorite part was the sounds of filing haha.
There was a lot of filing in this one! Glad he liked it. ✌🏽
Really enjoyed the japanning with this project. It really makes the planers pop!
Thank you very much!
Great job love the japaning also
Thank you very much!
Really nice restoration
Thank you!
Very good job !
Thank you!
Brilliant!
Thanks!! ✌🏽
Правильно, за инструментом тоже надо следить😊
100% 🍻
Ficou perfeito! Parabéns!😊❤
Muito obrigado! 🙂
Uau! Mais uma restauração que ficou fantástica!Congratulation! 😊
Não lembrava que já tinha visto e comentado nesse vídeo! 😂😂😂
Isso é engraçado! Fico feliz que você esteja gostando dos meus projetos. Obrigado pelo seu apoio!! 🙏🏽🙂
とても綺麗になって、切れ味も良くなりましたね。腕の毛を剃って、切れ味を確認してる所は、少しハラハラしましたよ。そちらのカンナは、カンナを押して削りますが、日本のは、カンナを引いて削るんですよ。どちらも持っていて、使いこなせたら最高ですよね。
The results are great mate 👍 The Japanning app tips are also very good. All the planers I have are made of wood. I found one similar to yours on a flea market site, should I buy it? It doesn't look bad.
Thanks! I am not an expert on which type of planers are best for different jobs but I usually buy them if the price is good. I got the two in the video for almost nothing and last weekend I bought five more large planers for $25 at auction which are in worse shape than these but can be fixed no problem if I ever need to use them.
@@Restorology Thank you mate. Yeah, I'll buy that planer 🖖
