Cool video. Advice: you should not paint the machined surfaces where the frog meets the sled/body of the plane. Those should not only not be painted, but be honed flatter. You could still fix this to get your plane working more accurately. It will keep the frog from more easily shifting out of place over time.
Look awesome! I was a bit confused when you painted the casting where the frog sits though. I believe that part should be kept bear metal so that the frog sits solid on the body. Anyways you did a better job that I could ever do, so keep at it!
Perez Hernandez honestly I don’t know anything about hand planes so I just painted what surfaces I thought were painted when I stripped the paint off. Thanks!
@@jakinwalsh When I restored my first plane i did the same. I had a few problems when using the it because the frog kept moving out of alignment. I asked a few people about it and all of them told me that the bottom of the frog and the top of casting on the plane should be left bare metal so that the frog stays in place when in use. When I fixed it, the plane worked like a charm! Honestly you did awesome on the paint job and that isn't much of an issue. I hope you keep doing tool restorations!! I really enjoy them.
Wow, now THAT was a dramatic transformation! Excellent job on the restoration. Would have liked to see you testing it out on a piece of wood. But overall a great job.
@@jakinwalshGo ahead and laugh bro, but did you know that within seconds of putting your hands in a chemical it can be detected in your organs? Plus it can lead to irreversible skin diseases.
Inspired to visit local flea market, they got lots of old unwanted tools, just waiting to be renovated. Maybe i can pick up a lathe, sandblaster, furnace and electro thingamy at the same time...
It turned very nice, but for future restorations I just wanted to give you a couple pointers. Before you paint you should also tape over the screw holes. The lateral lever on the frog and the mating surface of the frog and base aren't supposed to be painted - they're a machined surface. Lastly, in order to get the best result for the sole and cheeks of the body, stick sandpaper (spray adhesive works great) on a machined surface (I use a 3.5 ft long scrap piece of black granite from a countertop store) when all of the components are mounted. You sand with the factory machine lines which go parallel to the body. Overall this plane did turn out splendid. I'm glad it has been revived. I unfortunately missed out on getting this very same plane a few months ago. I saw it at the antique store and thought, "I'll get it tomorrow." Nope. It was gone. 😟 Anyways, keep it up! Subbed.
One time when i was a kid I thought i was smart enough to cross the street alone to get the mail. I was seriously mistaken. For some reason this "restoration" video reminded me of that. Weird.
The brass nut came up really nice in the Evaporust . I'm guessing cider or white vinegar would have done the job better or just wire wheel everything. Not the greatest ad for Evaporust . Ditto the remarks on the machined surfaces of the body and frog and painting the angle adjuster will cause problems. At least you didn't make new handles when unnecessary like others doing restoration. I kinda liked the paginated steel and cast iron look and just a light oil keeps cast iron looking good also ads your own signature.
These tools were not painted. It's a baked on finish called "japanning". Regular paint is not nearly as duable and will flake off. "Decking" the flat surfaces is mentioned below and really the way to reestablish a flat/square surface.
I watched a few of these restoration videos and I wonder if the chemicals are really needed if you wire brush it anyways? Also, you painted the frog mating faces which is going to cause problems. I've also seen people religiously sand the sole until it's flat but on a plane this big, it could take forever. Also did you sharpen the blade?
Richard Wiles if you are referring to removing paint with chemicals it takes way longer to just use the wire brush. And multiple people have been telling me about painting the machines surface. I didn’t know much about this tool prior to cleaning it up. And I just repainted the surfaces that were already painted. As far as I know the tool is going to be a decoration
I cleaned up a rusty hand plane once when I didnt have a chemical rust remover and only a wire brush....Never again. With any real amount of rust it is torture to brush away at the rust.
Agree with not painting the mating surface of the frog. Also - did no see the sole being flattened, nor the iron/chipbreaker being honed. Otherwise, nice restoration.
Learn from an experienced craftsman how to give attention to the intricate points of the frog that need to be measured and filed and polished before assembly. The difference is something that looks nice but is useless compared to a useful precision tool.
You really shouldnt have painted the yoke, base of the frog where it meets the plane or the lateral adjustment lever. Those should remain clean. Especially the base of the frog and where it meets the plane body. You need to be able to adjust those areas and paint will throw off the accuracy and ability to adjust
You should have treated that wood with boiled linseed oil and left off the varnish. Better finish and won’t flake off and crack years down the road, but will continue to age with the wood and leave a nice finish you just don’t see much today anymore. Everyone wants to clear coat every single piece of wood they use nowadays. Was hard to watch you grind the shoe of the plane with an automatic steel brush 🤦🏻♂️ And for Gods sake man spray primer on an antique plane? Dude. You ruined this plane. Oil is all that thing needed. The frog needs to sit as flush with the plane as possible. Metal on metal is what you want, not spray paint between them.
Почистил и покрасил?!? Хахаха, это не реставрация фуганка. Нож не наточил, поверхность не правил. Диз хотел поставить, а потом посмотрел количество подписоты и все стало на свои места...
I am really not sure why bothered to use evaporust if you were going to bush and sand the living crap of everything? It would have been cheaper and quicker to have just sanded and polished with wire wheels to begin with?

Thanks learned something about using those different drill wire attachments.
Word of advice....Naah forget it....just carry on

I love them in this condition. More of a challenge!!
I got me some sandpaper, tin of black spray paint and some varnish, ready to go.
nice restoration on that handplane..its still working for now?

Pretty obvious that this guy can clean and paint parts. Restoration is an entirely different matter. This one misses the mark in almost every aspect.
I have to agree. I’m looking to restore my record No5 and this is one of the worst videos I’ve seen yet lol

Very good restoration bro 👍👍👍👍
thank you!
Glad it’s a Fulton Plane n not a Stanley Plane
Really nicely done!
Para la foto está bien, solo falta probar a ver si en verdad corta

What setup were you using to spray the clear coat on the wood?
Tape off all machined parts on the base and the frog !!! You missed the most important parts !

The knob as and the tote look very nice. What products did you use to finish them? The plane looks awesome! 👌🏻

Good restoration unfortunately the fulton planes were pretty crap back in the day.

Impressive how loose the screws are in relation to how rusty the planer looks - just saying !
Gut

Cursed be the one letting the plane getting in that condition.
You made it look pretty but did you sharpen the blade? Did you demonstrate that it works?
gayle525 unfortunately I didn’t demonstrate it working after. That would have been a good idea though!

Even for just looks..didn't wipe down any bare metal with oil.will look the same as the start in a year. I always research
I got even better results with vinegar.
Good to know thanks!
Ham handed.
why do you throw everything?
Fiscal FP at first I thought it would be my cool signature thing. Now looking back I realize it’s not cool haha
maybe for cinematic effect..😂😂😂
Not how I would have done it. But I didn't pay for it.
Chop shop. Place where lost fine tools go for their final insults and mockery at the hands of clods wielding power tools.
Cool trash!
It is obvious that you have no idea about hand planes
AERAT J yup
It’s a decorative piece it’s never getting used
Why 2 buckets? 1 was enough
