Why is it that I can watch hand plane restoration videos all day and I still enjoy it. I swear someone could make "hand plane restoration the movie". It would be 3 hours long and my eyes would be glued to the screen like it was a new star wars movie. Then I would pay to go see it again the next weekend.
nice work. your video is easy to understand and helpful, and engaging w/out a bunch of asinine "branding" or ego. thanks for taking the time to share the process.
I'm a sucker for the old and weird stuff. I have a small collection of tools that I don't use, but restored because they are pretty. Personally I like to get old "broken" tools, fix them and use them. I have done a couple of videos about that. I just love what you do, so keep at it.
I just picked up an old Sears block plane for $12 at a consignment store, it looks like someone painted the sole, I want to restore it so I can use it. So this will be a very useful video. Thanks
Dude you missed your calling, you would have made a great "Thing" for the Adams Family!!! So much expression with your hands... Great videos, love them...
If you're going to use a chisel like that, take a not-so-fancy one and poke it into a grinder first and grind a 90 degree flat on the end (so you now have a
Ya, I have an expensive tool that I use to scrape the rust and crap off things. My neighbor calls it a screwdriver. I like to use a wood chisel to chisel wood. Call me old fashioned, call me sentimental, just don't call me late for dinner.
I was so excited finding your Chanel because I inherited a lot of my father’s and grandfather’s tools. I have one just like this. I just wish you would slow down a bit because for me I had to rewind so many times to figure out how to put this together again. I am stuck with the long lever and how to put it together. Next I want to figure out how to run the drill press. Not sure but the one you used in this video looks like mine. Thank you.
Awesome video mate, just one thing I was taught was never put a plane, blade down on any surface as it's not good for the blade, always lie it on it's side
Shitty Bill thanks for that and your probably correct with wood, but say you were working outside and had nowhere else to put it except say concrete or metal then you would have to put it on it's side. My uncle who would be over 100 if still alive always taught me to never put a plane blade down on any surface, he was old school so i would have thought he knew what he was talking about, just my 2 cents worth
@@PeterColmore You dont need to manufacture some improbable instance to justify your incorrect notion of putting a plane down on it's side. Planes are used on wood, predominantly. You can put it down on the sole. End of discussion.
Glad to see someone else with a collection of "shit chisels". If ya gotta mortise some shit or dovetail some shit, you'll never go wrong if you have a shit chisel collection.
So I found one of these things in my grandfathers closet today and had no idea what it was. After a quick google search and this video, I now know what they used to look like and their function. Thanks for the help!
@HandToolRestoration thanks for the lesson! What diamond plates did you use please? I just discovered 3M innovation came out with precision sandpaper called cubitron I believe...I'm wondering what the difference is...I'm not happy with my diamond plates...too course. I have 80 for rough edges and 120 but even 120 is too much
"Убивать" каретку Veritas на ленточном станке - это верх цинизма. Как и сам рубанок, который нормально восстановить теперь будет гораздо тяжелее. Одно радует - это одно из первых его видео.
AWESOME work Again!!! you really are great at what you Do!!! Love the Videos bro. i thought i was the only idiot with a shit Chisel rack lol man they work so great on old dirty rusty metal material lol. dumb question. but whats in the big Bucket you left the plane in? lol oil?
Awesome video! I'm restoring a plane at present and I'd never thought to start the new edge on the iron using the belt sander. What is the plate you put between the belt and platen? Is it just a steel plate or something more specialized?
just found you and watched a few videos now. Great job. Would be nice if you slowed it down a bit when you're showing names, ingravings, stamps. Keep up the good work
I work in a hardware store so I find your videos particularly useful; We sell vaporust in a spray but when I saw you dip your hardware in a 5 gallon bucket of it I was amazed by the results! I'll have to pick some up and try it out on some random hardware so I can learn how effective it is; although, judging by your results it works well. I do like the fact that it's effectively reusable, hence your giant dipping bucket. EDIT: my order guide suggests that is actually a 3.5 gallon bucket. Apparently out of stock for my store it seems...
So far I have watched several of your videos, for those of us that are not familiar with a lot of the older tools, would you PLEASE slow the video down to 'normal' speed when you are doing a close up of the different parts. Thanks
@@HandToolRescue I'm from a year in the future, and I'm here to assure you that you got the sandblaster. Also, avoid that burrito when you come across it...you'll know.
I noticed you sand blasted and repainted a hand drill recently but this didn't get repainted. How do you decide how far to go, the estimated value of the tool? Just curious... Love watching these videos, I have been amazing a collection of "user" tools and slowly refurbishing them but I wouldn't go so far as to say "restore". I just want them to work, and I don't want to sell any kids on the black market to acquire them. LOL!
Some of these tools don't need the FULL restoration treatment, but if something has less than 50% of the original paint left, then I repaint it. Certain high value tools should never be touched though, if you want them to remain as collector's items.
Hand Tool Rescue dont forget flea markets. I bought 5 planes from one for 30 bucks. Stuck them in evporust and sold them on ebay for 350. I dont think I've ever made easier money.
To flatten the bottom of your hand plane you should stick a piece of wet-dry 400 2 a piece of quarter inch plate glass. You should have the lap until you get a consistent scratch pattern then lap again with a 600 grit wet dry sandpaper. Then you would be sure you'd have a flat bottom on your pan plane. Great job thanks for the video.

Tony Matarrese I wouldn't go that far..
I think Paul sellers has that on his chanel.
Imagine the arm hair EVERYWHERE though!
I like that you left the painted finish like it was. Sometimes, keeping the patina is a good thing.
I really like this! It's like watching early DiResta stuff. Your view numbers are crazy for such a young channel, it's testament to your hard work.
Well thank you very much. He is one of my favourite youtubers!
Harry Smith I tried searching for DiResta with no luck. Sounds like a guy I'd be interested in
nice work. your video is easy to understand and helpful, and engaging w/out a bunch of asinine "branding" or ego. thanks for taking the time to share the process.
I love your channel, please keep making videos, they help me get through really bad anxiety attacks. I appreciate this.
haha nice chisel rack labeling
Shit Chisels was the name of my garage band in high school.
Great work man. Keep it up.

Veritas mkII on the sander is a f...ing great idea to quick restore the blade! Love this video!
+Matteo Paccagnella Be careful not to press so hard as to start sanding the brass roller though. Also, your sander needs to be dead flat.
Awesome video mate, just one thing I was taught was never put a plane, blade down on any surface as it's not good for the blade, always lie it on it's side
Nope other way around. Put it on it's side and you risk knocking it out of setup. The blade can handle resting on wood, just don't slap it down.

i need one of these
No trip to the sandblaster? We are gravely disappointed!

hi beautifull video, what tipe of stone do you use to sharpen a blade? thanks and good job.

What did you use as the platen for your belt sander?
Dopeeee! Where did you get your sharpening stones?
+Brett Roberts Thanks! Lee Valley. They are made by DMT.
AWESOME work Again!!! you really are great at what you Do!!! Love the Videos bro. i thought i was the only idiot with a shit Chisel rack lol man they work so great on old dirty rusty metal material lol. dumb question. but whats in the big Bucket you left the plane in? lol oil?
Haha thanks! It's Evaoprust.
Very nice work I enjoyed it
What is whe fluid you soak your plane in ?
So, what happens to these tools after? Are they customer service jobs, hobby, resale, etc?
Awesome video! I'm restoring a plane at present and I'd never thought to start the new edge on the iron using the belt sander. What is the plate you put between the belt and platen? Is it just a steel plate or something more specialized?
It's just a really flat plate as belt grinders are not flat at all!
Thanks! Yeah, mine is decidedly NOT flat...
You can add a before and after picture at the end of the video...just a suggestion. :)
just found you and watched a few videos now. Great job. Would be nice if you slowed it down a bit when you're showing names, ingravings, stamps. Keep up the good work
Thanks! That is a good idea. I just assumed people would pause the video if they wanted to see.
i need a blade for my No:16 but i'm living in japan .impossible to find

+zrtaylor23 it definitely works fast.
@@HandToolRescue I have used vinegar with good results. It does take several days soaking. Is Vaporust much faster? PS love your video...
OK !
What happens to the tools once you've finished? Are they yours in the first place or donated by others?
I sell or keep most of them. Upcoming videos have tools sent to me by viewers, but all the ones so far are mine.
If you need a shit chisel, then your just not wiping properly.
👍👏👍👏👍👏
отлично
Add to the video description what sharpening plates you used!

1:35 Like the Snoop Doggy Dog reference.
My new mistake exclamation will be "SHIT chisels!"
What was in the bucket that took the rust off?
Evaporust. can usually get it on amazon
Nice video, but where is plane collector ? he vanished completly,
So far I have watched several of your videos, for those of us that are not familiar with a lot of the older tools, would you PLEASE slow the video down to 'normal' speed when you are doing a close up of the different parts. Thanks
Subbed, do you see purchasing a tumbler in the future?

Ну, хоть трусами с черкашами не протирает детали, уже прогресс.. )))
hello there ..nice rstroe..on 1:27 how do you name while that was you conected there to clean the metal?
Wire wheel.
thank you , do you have a link to where to buy it? i dont find it
After all that, it should be so sharp, that the shadow should be able to take off a table leg.
Hola! De que material son las placas, donde asentaste la hoja de corte? Gracias!
Son placas de diamante hechas por DMT.
Bien, gracias!
Nice slurry & Miller Falls plane
Isn't that belt sander a little harsh on the sole? I guess if you use a fine (and old) belt it wouldn't be too bad.
It's a 320 grit belt, and it's old! haha
Dude! I guess we're on the same wavelength, man!
Actually, I don't talk like that. I just type that way.
1.05 toe jam?
What do you use to soak the parts in to clean them up initially?
Ross Nanfito he puts them in Evaporust
is there anything you can put on to stop it rusting again?
wd-40 works fine, but really any oil will do.
Man you need to have a good clean lol that's the dirtiest shop I've ever seen!
