Regardless of the bottom pitting, that is one sweet jointer plane. I believe you've identified it accurately, too. I need to find one that size for some work I have bouncing around in my melon...preferably an older one as well. Happy shaving!
You know I have a set of Stanleys from #2 all the way to #8. All of them vintage, but I really never bothered to check any specifics. Your vid has motivated me to look more closely.
You have done a nice job of tuning up the plane. I am currently tuning up a #6 for a neighbor also. I have not done the research into the year/type. Thanks for sharing your work.
Nice plane! I'm new(ish) to woodworking but I picked up a Stanley #7C jointer plane for cheap moniez on ebay. I believe it was made between 1902 and 1910 or thereabouts. Over a hundred years old and it still works fantastic.
Very nice. Got my first Stanley #4 this weekend. Have just made a ton of maple shavings with it so far. Still getting some chattering in one direction... learning how to dial it in, and adjust it... I actually had your previous video on plane restoration up on the bench while I went through mine....
I will try that. I only get chatter when planing in one direction. If I swap board end for end, it seems to plane just fine. Perhaps it is grain related issue too. It is a new plane, and needs some adjustment before using it well.
thanks Barry. It is a proper Stanley brand plane. I've taken it apart when I got it to go through it, and get my head around adjusting it. I'll tighten things down with it, and give it another try. Sure is therapeutic making the shavings though!!
Their is something magical about hand planes. Something I have yet to learn, but I will.
My house was built in 1912. That is a good looking jointer, made to last!
Evaporust is the bomb. Great job on the plane!
That's gorgeous. Thanks for the history lesson. 👍👍🍦🍦
Its definitely a grey area. It's not a huge deal unless you're collecting a specific type-which I am. I'm trying to collect the type 6/6a. I have a 608C on it's way to my house right now. ☺️
On a separate note, you need to clean and sand a little more after you use Evaporust. I use the stuff and if you don't work at cleaning right away, the metal will start losing its luster and will appear as though it's been powder coated. She's still a beauty though.
Great research, what a beautiful plane
Just my 2 cents: I would leave the japanning as-is. It's about 90% intact, which is better than having it redone. It looks great. Alternatively, you could just touch up the losses.
My grandfather and mom both worked at Stanley in New Britain, CT. I grew up there. - Great Vid Jay!
Have you done a video on sharpening plane/chisel blades?
Not yet. But I plan on doing so before the end of the year.
Good research !
Thank GOD Now I will be able to go to sleep now.......Just kidding Jay ........Always interesting and educational.........

A well tuned hand plane gives a nice finish than a electric jointer. 2cents
totally agree! Finish with the smoother and you have a ready for finish piece.
That thang is massive!
Someone could've been making furniture with that jointer over 100 years ago.... wow...
not too shabby for being 103-104yrs old🖒🖒🍻
Cool. Almost as old as my American jointer. 😋
nice job Magnum p.i.
Either way, it's good to go for another 100 years.
First! And I love Stanley plane videos. Great work, Jay.
I love watching antiques roadshow!
That is one bad ass plane. Gotta love those whisper thin shavings. Awesome job tuning it up.
what a beauty
Why have a plane this size? Is it easier to use than a shorter one?
Thanks for this information. I just looked up my 605 Bedrock on this site and mine is a 6c.
When you start looking up types you are heading toward tool collector territory instead of tool user :)
Rick McQuay not necessarily, knowing the specific type can help in locating the right replacement parts of need be. It just all depends on who is collecting/using the plane...
Tracy Luegge Thank you for this insight.
This is really cool, Jay! Thanks for sharing.
that is sexy. I'd like to add a miller falls joiner plane to my collection
What be the point of such a long plane?
jointing
Curtis Frost The longer the plane the flatter the surface. A shorter plane, like say a #4, would follow any hills or valleys along the edge whereas this much longer plane will level them all out by staying on top of the high spots while shaving them down. Hope that helps.
Great jointer. I remember my Dad using his on doors.
Made in CT! What!
Great work Sherlock - cant't wait for season 4 :)
Regards
Nice!!!!
Jay, Im not disagreeing with you, but here is something to consider. I don't think you should eliminate your original premise that this may still be a Type 5-1911. The original criteria that you identified, with the exception of the iron and the cap, fits both the 1911 thru 1913. Your premise for dismissing the Type 5-1911 is based on the bedrock stamp, an interchangeable part. This logic would be false here given the fact that you did not eliminate the possibility of a Type 6 -1912-13 for the same reason of another interchangeable part, the iron. Having given no other information as to why you have selected a type 6, I think it is easily arguable that this CAN BE a type 5 or 6, 1911 - 1913.
Having said that, I agree it is very likely that this plane is well over 100 years old, regardless of the specifics. To think that for 100 years, a part or two has not been replaced, would be a false assumption. I do agree with you though it is more likely to be a type 6 than a type 5 because of the cap iron, as it is much less likely to be replaced over time as opposed to a blade.
I realize we have come to the same conclusion, but I'm not sure I would have eliminated the type 5 so easily. Regardless, it's semantics. Great detective work here, thanks for sharing this.
Agreed. Calling it a Type 5 OR 6 from 1911-1913 is more appropriate.
Good sleuthing.
SO SO SO STINKING SEXY!!!!! sorry but now I have to wipe the drool off my computer. that has been on my purchase list for a long time. My guess is type 5 with a replaced lever cap. That was often switched to show it off. but it could be an early run of a type 6. either way I know guys that would kill for that plane! I have seen them in that condition go for $275.
Thanks for the input.
it says all the features of type 5 except....
Hi Jay. Best resource for stanley type planes is Patrick's Blood and Gore. It has a list of every type of Stanley plane ever made.

Plane and simple logic… see what i did there , can't resist urge to use bad puns ;)
I could be wrong but you don't sound well. A cold maybe? Your voice sounds slightly different and you seem to have a little trouble breathing.
#Jealous. You always get to do the cool stuff. :-)
