super sweet. Thanks. If I may add my two cents, I was gifted a pack of 150 grit 3M sandpaper, with SILICONE backing, instead of paper or cloth. It flexes around the curves of the tote, and knob, in all directions. Really great for getting into the tight radius of those pieces. Once again, thanks for the video.
As far as I'm concerned, your channel is the go-to for restoration info. It's amazing how many hacks have popped up since the success of your channel. Oh and they suck too.
That is very interesting. I use acetone on the totes and knobs of planes, but I just wipe it on and off, I've never soaked it before. How long do you soak the parts in acetone?
Yep acetone soak is the best fix for oil logged wood I've found, just remember to let the solvent evaporate completely from the woods before doing anything with it.
sawzall , jigsaw , well pump , Auger , land survey equipment , a level your drill press , router...I would love to continue, let me know. i have liked all your videos so far, thanks.
As other people mentioned, the japanning is the issue. It’s not the same as paint, it’s like asphaltium or something like that. The value of an antique plane is in part based on how much of the japanning remains. It significantly devalues the plane to strip off the japanning. If not much of the Japan finish remains but you want to restore it, you should look into the asphaltium techniques that other people have posted. Otherwise, I really enjoy the channel. A lot of people take themselves way to seriously. This is a breath of fresh air.
At the work table, you would need a good face wash. aside, I would highlight much more, your work, there is a huge contrast, between that finished piece, and all the grease, that fatigued work table., my deepest admiration, your good sling, and your tireless dedication, to save pieces that were already forgotten. Greetings from Argentina.
Really Enjoy The Videos. I noticed in this one you did not remove the blade holder from the plane body. I understand why. Almost impossible to get out but I managed by center punching the pins and drilling with increasingly larger bits until they eventually hung on the bit and pulled right out. Thought I would have to make new pins. However; Went to Ace hardware and discovered they sell tapered pins. No 3-0 fit the plane perfectly. Had to trim them after install but worked great. Did not attempt the blade hold down pins but would if I needed to. Keep up the great Resto.
Its 3:34 A.M. and in 4 hours I have to go to work, but Im watching this video that has absolutely any connection with my life also I have zero interest in this kind of tools...But watching this restoration feel so fucking satisfying that Ill keep watching this and all other videos of your channel. Nice work and keep going...
3:00 I thought you were some old man in his garage with his 13 year old son behind the camera. But hay your pretty cool. Keep having fun and keep the projects coming please
Hey I don't know if you do this now but when you're taping off metals, like you did on the side walls, if you wish to have a really nice close paint line you can mask over it and then take a hammer and lightly tap the edge at an angle almost dragging downward. If you try it you'll see what I mean, engine makers who build race engines and stuff use this when paint prepping the surface, just be careful not to damage your work piece but you should be fine for most to all projects (that aren't super soft metals)
Hey! I love your videos and i want to say to continue with the channel and: 1. U lok butiful 2. Buy steam tractor and restore it, then go... o wait, you are in Canada and there are not many of those... Anyway! You are awesome and please rescue some type of grinder
I have one of these planes and am planning to restore it. Can you explain why you didn't disassemble the part of the plane that holds the blade before you sandblasted it? Is there any reason not to take all the pieces apart? Thanks
Perhaps I was extremely late with the explanation, but Eric did not disassemble the blade holder due to the time-consuming knocking out of the tension pin. It wasn't worth it.
@@Anrakyr Thanks for the response, even if somewhat delayed. As it turns out, when I restored my plane, i took it entirely apart, including the blade holder. it was a learning experience, since I was expecting the tension pin to go all the way through, so I could just punch it out. It turns out there are two pins - one on each side. When I punched the first one in, it just went in a short distance and stopped. The solution -- I drilled a small hole in the end of each pin, and used an easy-out to remove them. I then had to find replacement pins (relatively easy since its a pretty standard size of steel rod). Taking it fully apart made it possible to strip and prepare all the parts for re-painting. The plane came out great in the end. Eric's thought about the time commitment was right -- it took longer to deal with the pins than the entire rest of the job.
Fantastic video! I recently found the same type of hand plane at a yard sale, but the iron was slightly different. one end had grooves going about 1/4 way up the face. they almost looked like the 1/32" graduations on a combination square ruler. when i sharpened it, i found that they created little teeth to the iron. I do a bit of old tool restoration also, as a hobby, and recently came across a fairly large collection of parts... odds and ends of various planes and other misc stuff. let me know if you end up needing any unusual parts, i might be able to help
Hi, very nice work on this and your other projects, did you consider using a shellac sanding sealer on the wooden handles before waxing ? I find the finish more authentic and longer lasting. I in the middle of restoring an Atlas 73 15 inch pillar drill, the bench version of the one Steven Lawson did. I'm recording video of the project but not put on youtube yet. Keep up the great work :)
I usually do a shellac finish on rosewood as oil finishes darken it too much. Shellac sanding sealer is actually hard to find where I am, but I would love to use it if I could. I'd definitely watch that video!
Unfortunately, there are not any swap meets near where I live. This specific tool came from a friend in Ontario, Canada. Auctions, estate sales, antique shops, connections, and classified listings are where most of these tools come from.
I like your videos really really much so I'm concerned about what's in all these sprays and if You should be wearing a respirator I have one I could give you if you want it would suck so much if you got a lung disease and couldn't restore the magnificent pieces of technology
there are a few ways to test if hes a witch! -Does he float in water? if so, A witch! -Build a bridge out of him. -Does he weigh as much as a duck? if so he is made out of wood and therefore a witch!
Don't you get pissed at the people that do that? When you look at their TH-cam profile they haven't done shit in most cases. I have an acquaintance that stops by my shop once in a while. He's always doing the why don't you do it this way or that way. My reply is why don't you try minding your own business and shut the f*ck up. Cheers, Bro.
I'll buy that scraper plane if you're interested in selling it. I frequently use scrapers but just the steel blade. It can be very fatiguing on the hands.
полировать лучше на зеркале, а не на стекле. стекло имеет неровностии в допуске, с зеркалом неровности будет видно, поэтому там несколько иная технология изготовления, и поверхность максимально ровная и гладкая
Huh, was that a bit of paint on the round handle? That brass-black is surprisingly effective, though nothing can perfectly replicate years of oxidation, it does a decent job! I like that you're not overly serious, life needs a bit of fun! XD
I am sorry to criticise you because I love watching you normally, but as the previous comment I have been let down. Most of the equipment that you have to restore we (the U.K.) here would not be able to get, also you have companies that specialise in sourcing such items. So when it is easy to see that you have missed some stages it is wrong, now this will not make me cancel my subscription because your videos are more good than bad. Regards ROGER
Although we all would do some things differently, your technique shows you are smarter than some of these clods give you credit for. The silence is nice. Narration is unnecessary.
I have seen dozens of your videos and I love them, but in this case did look to me like a waste of time trying to "restore" a perfectly working tool just to make it shiny for a museum showcase? I don't get it, still fan of your work.

You just ruined that plane/scraper by removing the Japaning. All that tool needed was to be cleaned, the foot flattened, the tote and knob sanded and refinished.
A scraper is special in that you intentionally give it a burr; usually by sharpening it and then scraping over that sharpened edge with a hardened steel rod, as he does in 10:26. That burr is at a right-angle to the scraper. It's really good at taking super-thin shavings off of wood without nearly as much careful tuning as is needed to achieve that on a smoothing-plane.

This is my new favorite channel. I have inherited several of my great grandfathers tools and I'm itching to restore them!
Thanks! Get to it.

Protip: Soak that wood in acetone to lift the dark color from years of grease and oil and reveal the grain better when you refinish.
That is very interesting. I use acetone on the totes and knobs of planes, but I just wipe it on and off, I've never soaked it before. How long do you soak the parts in acetone?
Yep acetone soak is the best fix for oil logged wood I've found, just remember to let the solvent evaporate completely from the woods before doing anything with it.
I like the slow motion shots your doing and I love everything about your channel
Thanks a lot! Any tool you want to see restored next?

I just wonder where do you find all of this tool... just curious....
+TheMrleon92 auctions, estate sales, eBay, and locally.
Very nice job on that scraper!!
Thank you!
I like that precision lapping plate.
really nice job ! that's museum quality right there!
Thanks! One of my favourite tools in the shop.
Your sharpening skills are the best! ;)
That's a sweet tool. looks great!
Thanks. Way better than sanding.
another great tool saved i need new vids now i seen them all in one night bravo dude lol
3:00 I thought you were some old man in his garage with his 13 year old son behind the camera. But hay your pretty cool. Keep having fun and keep the projects coming please

that 3:30 though
haha...scarred for life now.
Hand Tool Rescue so you have done a face reveal before 1mil subscribe XD
I don't think 1 million people want to see my face!
He went all Allah Akbar on that shit. Good for him
Come on i'm 1:56 deep and peeked down here for a spoiler, -oops-.
A scraper plane is not meant to take full shavings off rough lumber. It is a fine finishing tool meant to do a final smoothing on difficult grain.
WELL DONE
You're good bro! Very good!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you. This one was pretty easy.
HTR: **Doesn’t smash his face on the sandblaster**
Me: Hmmm…
HTR: **Doesn’t use japanning on a plane**
Me: Damn, how old is this video?
I found that this is pretty rare! So nice anyway!
A good job, thanks for posting.

Anyway! You are awesome and please rescue some type of grinder
Great work, thanks for the video!
X is there any reason you didn't disassemble the adjuster mechanism?
Yes. A pin holds it in place and I would risk cracking the cast iron if I tried to punch it out.
7:45 Princess Auto for the win !
Nice work. It looks like those brass parts might have been plated. Ever thought about getting into that for restorations? That'd be cool to see.
It would be cool to try!

could ypu fix old handtools to? like vinage hammers screwdeivers and wrenches?
Are you blueing the brass? Gun metal blue or whatever that stuff is?
Can you show more ways on how you clean your tools up? I mostly use a wire wheel on a drill in a vise.
Check out my other videos for some different methods.
Fantastic video!

Looks like you found one with a toothed blades. They are definitely not as common and worth much more!
tooothed planes were used to roough surface a bit for better adhesion prior to veneering
what did you use for the black paint? anything specific? have you ever tried appliance epoxy? thanks

Hand Tool Rescue very Cool Thank You!
Really nice job !
What the remedy did you apply here 8:42 ?
Furniture paint stripper.
I like your videos really really much so I'm concerned about what's in all these sprays and if You should be wearing a respirator I have one I could give you if you want it would suck so much if you got a lung disease and couldn't restore the magnificent pieces of technology
explodingplanets his shop is well ventilated so he should be okay
Just found your channel and had a question. Do you resell these or are these your own finds for your shop?
Some of these I keep, some I sell, and some are for others. I'll probably sell one of these that I have, specifically.
i bet lots cut with that blade sticking up, wonder if it had a safety cover
So beautiful where do you find all of this tool ?
Can someone explain the magic rags that look filthy but clean stuff to a polish? is it just physics?
+Scott Walters Sorcery.
Hand Tool Rescue Hes a witch!
there are a few ways to test if hes a witch!
-Does he float in water? if so, A witch!
-Build a bridge out of him.
-Does he weigh as much as a duck? if so he is made out of wood and therefore a witch!
the can of paint remover is the same can you see in the previous video near the drill press
@3:33 lmao!
I cringed when he took all the japanning off with the sandblaster.
what is the paint striper you use and what did you dip the brass parts in ?
I believe I show it in the video. Circa 1850 stripper and JAX Brass Darkener.
HAHA I had to frame by frame... Fyi , and . keys on a keyboard for that.
but why darken the brass. It sure did not come out of the factory with dirty brass.
I personally like the shiny brass
Everything you did was wrong.
Just kidding. Trying to help you get used to having more subscribers.

How do you know that plane is a Stanley the blade could be a replacement or foreign blade
The overall shape and the markings on the base.
Dude, where did you find it? I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I'm hanging out with you next time you go out.
I was hoping you might scape down your work bench. Needs a touch up.
You really should use malleted wood splints for scraping like that.
Dat sandblasting dude! XD
I have that same oil, and it sucks that it works best when squeezed right side up
subscribed great channel
I am restoring some planes right now too. God i hate Sanding those curves -.-
Lmfao 3:30 Tongue flopper lol
was that technically a face reveal
Excellent thanks.

I like this
I will new video
good job man
Thank you!
Send that steel to wrangler star and it will be super sharp :) lol
Bet that table wasn't water proof in those days!
I'll buy that scraper plane if you're interested in selling it. I frequently use scrapers but just the steel blade. It can be very fatiguing on the hands.

I would like to buy a sandblasted like that do you know how long the sand lasts in them thanks
I am no expert, but the media I used should be able to be reused up to 15 times.

how do you memorize where poop screw, cable, piece?
Nice job! What do you do with the stuff after you restore them?
Geez,a sandblaster? What was wrong with the japaning?
what tool did you use at 10:38?
The wood is beautiful, is it rosewood?
3:30 Loooool
It's a card scraper plane, basically.
Curious what the liquid is in the red glass
Just water.
Lmao, right before the sand blasting.
Huh, was that a bit of paint on the round handle? That brass-black is surprisingly effective, though nothing can perfectly replicate years of oxidation, it does a decent job! I like that you're not overly serious, life needs a bit of fun! XD
Cool
put blade in upside down ???
do you not know that sandblasting removes paint.... making it pointless to use paint stripper before
What is that blue machine?
Sandblaster.
Choo choo!

You just ruined that plane/scraper by removing the Japaning. All that tool needed was to be cleaned, the foot flattened, the tote and knob sanded and refinished.
That's the weirdest fucking planer I've ever seen. Why's the blade almost perpendicular to the material you're planing?
+Dropped Spaghetti That angle allows for the scraping action.
A scraper is special in that you intentionally give it a burr; usually by sharpening it and then scraping over that sharpened edge with a hardened steel rod, as he does in 10:26. That burr is at a right-angle to the scraper. It's really good at taking super-thin shavings off of wood without nearly as much careful tuning as is needed to achieve that on a smoothing-plane.
Dropped Spaghetti its a scraper not a planer.
these were used by cabinet-makers to put a flawless surface on veneer or general wood surfaces. It virtually eliminated the need for sandpaper.
collector value of that scrapper is gone. but nice job on cleaning it up.
now its a usable tool again
yokom zare lol... Same as people collecting cars and letting them rust to nothing in their yards...
ahhhhhhhhh o my god that pore diamond stone he dident put any water on it
-20C leaves me with little options when you need to get things done.
holy crap but still do u know what that dose to a water stone
These diamond stone can actually be used dry according to the manufacturer, although water always helps.
it's not a water stone. it's a dmt diamond plate. you can use it without any fluid, it just helps to have something like soapy water.
Did you try alcohol ? For the stone mind you =P
