Stanley Bailey No. 8C Jointer Plane. Explained & Road Tested

The Stanley No. 8 Jointer is a useful plane for jointing the edges of medium length boards. This plane is an 8C with the corrugated bottom surface. I do a quick cleanup and tune up and then test it out on a 6 foot board edge.

Nicely done! Thank you…

Thank you for the comment. I'm going from my longest, this No. 8 to my shortest, a No. 2 next week. Thanks for watching.

What a great way to remove the patina and 50 percent of the value have a nice antique hand plane

Thank you for the comment, and thanks for watching.

What is the point in owning tools for other people? Who cares about the value, I never heard him mention that it was for sale. In fact, I heard him say how much he liked seeing it clean and nice on his bench. Who are you to tell him what to do with his tools? Always an expert out there

So many old plane “restorations” on You Tube. What is it about this, the tiniest of projects, that compels so many to make videos about their journeys with Stanley? That said, jointers are valuable as hell to hand tool users and they’re fun to use.

Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. I think it's because they are relatively cheap, very plentiful, and almost no matter how dirty they are when they are sharp and in tact they are satisfying to use. Thanks again..
