What a gent you are. I like oldy woldy video your in a small shed turning a lovely plane from a dirty rusty piece of metal to an absolutely gem of a tool. There is nothing better more satisfying than using it for the first time after restoration. Good vid thumbs up and keep going. Have subbed to your channel.
I have a No. 8 which has been waiting a similar restoration for a few years. Mine is not as old as yours, but the blade is as worn as yours. I have experienced vintage Stanley blades which only had about a 1/2in wide strip of tool steel forged into the blade. When I sharpen the blades and flatten the back I can see the lines where the tool steel ends. I just sharpened a blade on a 5 1/2 a few days ago. I see a line on the bevel where the lower portion is tool steel. Looking at the back I see a difference in the tool steel and mild steel. Not very wide, only about 1/2in. I expect my No. 8 blade has been ground through the tool steel portion so it needs to be replaced when I get around to the restoration. These planes are HEAVY. I am not sure how much I will use this which adds to my procrastination on the restoration. Voice over format works for me. Nice shavings. Dave.
Thanks Dave its not one I will use much as its pretty heavy - but nice to have - I recently picked up a Record 4 1/2 that I have cleaned up and sharpened - finding myself reaching for that quite a lot as its a a bit heavier than the 4 but not too heavy after 10 minutes use. And I really like the record irons seem to have a nice swish cut that I like
I can appreciate the relative ease of use of the 4 1/2. I do like my No. 4. I agree the Record irons feel to work better steel than the Stanley irons. Dave.
nice job restoration. good idea to not paint the japaning. I liked the sound of the cutting the plane did....Oh.. do not change anything about the video it is find...
You are lucky to have one, we just enjoy seeing videos of such beautiful planers. Thanks for the nice video.
Thanks

Could use de same blade of n7 ??
It’s a little wider
@@TheShedProjectUK ...Coud be the blade of the n° 5 1/2 ?
@@fabiojkbaliNo the no8 is the only plane with 2 5/8 blade out of all the plane sizes , the 5 1/2 fits the 7 tho and 6 and 4 1/2 that's 2 3/8 .
