The sock!!! I'm telling ya right now.....if the sock doesn't make it into every video in some capacity, I'm unsubscribing! LOL...just kidding. Awesome job my man.
I just found one very similar to this one. The only difference I can tell is the handle are not wood. I can't wait to restore it. Great find for $10.00.
Thomas Thompson thank you for watching This one was tough, but I was happy with how it turned out and have already used it for rough joining on a project.
Thanks for checking out another one :). I’m still around, just packed stuff up in preparation of moving, then covid hit and we never moved. Now I have all my stuff packed away so things are just kinda “on hold”. I will get back to making more videos! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy some of the other videos I have up. I left a reply on that SKS vid from my other channel with a bunch of random non restoration stuff. No new stuff really there either though. In any event, thanks again for dropping a comment and for watching!
This is a later version of the Stanley #5 jack. Blue paint came in around 1962 so this would have been made some time after that (earlier models were black). I bought one new in 1968 when I was 15 years old, paid around $12 if I remember right. It still gets pretty regular use.
Nice one, it looks good as new. I like the blue. I hate to be the safety nanny but if that’s regular sand you’re using in the media blaster perhaps you should get some proper media. The sand get smashed into very fine powder like talc and gets deep into the lungs and can cause silicosis which is much like asbestosis. Most filter systems can’t filter the super fine dust that does the damage. Here ends the sermon for today. Keep up the great work. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Scrounga’s Workshop thank you for watching! I appreciate the concern. It was actually something I was initially concerned with as well. Luckily for me (and my lungs) what I’m using in the media blaster isn’t sand but rather crushed glass. Crushed glass contains amorphous silica which has a closed crystalline structure and doesn’t stick to lung tissue like regular sand with an open structure. In any event, I still wear a respirator when I open up the chamber after blasting because supposedly dangerous or not, I’d rather not have that stuff in my lungs!
Restore This. That’s so good to hear my friend and thanks for correcting me. I should have asked if it was glass but it never occurred to me. I love your videos. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Thank you Stuart! Don’t think of it as a correction, more of an elaboration. I never say it’s crushed glass. I try to refer to it as media blasting, but I think I may even sometimes call it sand blasting it my videos. I should add a little blurb about it next time I show the blast cabinet! I do appreciate you looking out for my well being :) thank you so much for watching! Have a great weekend!
Wow! Naprawdę super. Moim zdaniem dobrze, że nie polerowałeś boków tego urządzenia, lepiej wygląda tak, jak ty to zrobiłeś. Jestem też pod wrażeniem tego, jak precyzyjnie wypełniłeś czerwonym kolorem tło napisu ''Stanley'', ja to bym powyjeżdżał i rozmazał wszystko (: Dobra robota.
Dziękuję za obejrzenie! Starałem się, aby ten był wierny pierwotnemu stanowi, tak jak byłby, gdy był nowy. Zawsze lubię ręcznie malować tabliczki znamionowe i etykiety. Mieszkam na Florydzie, więc te części wyciągają mnie z gorącego garażu i do środka w klimatyzacji :)
Hi Kelvin! Thanks for stopping by! We’ve been in the process of moving so all of my restoration stuff is boxed up :( I hope to get soon some more restorations soon though! The best to you and yours!
Это рубанок не 1950-х, а современный. Сейчас они изготавливаются в Китае. Возможно, предыдущий владелец выдержал его в болоте, чтобы состарить и продать подороже. Как отличить антикварный рубанок Stanley от современного: 1. Маховичок вылета ножа раньше делали из латуни, а сейчас - из сплава белого цвета. 2. Ручки раньше насаживали на шпильки и фиксировали круглыми гайками из латуни, а сейчас используют винты из сплава белого цвета. 3. Ручки раньше покрывали лаком, чтобы подчеркнуть красоту дерева, а сейчас красят чёрной краской, чтобы скрыть недостатки дешевой древесины. Чтобы получить идеальную плоскость основания рубанка, нужно использовать стекло или искусственный камень. th-cam.com/video/cMwID8Jf3ZE/w-d-xo.html
Hi Roman! Thank you for watching. This plane was definitely made in the USA based on the “Made in U.S.A.” cast into the body of the plane. This plane is now made in China but the changes were more severe than you describe. The adjustment wheel on mine is brass with a chrome treatment to the surface. It flaked off a little while polishing. The newer adjustment wheel is pot metal. The newer ones also don’t have wooden handles at all (painted black or otherwise). They are now hollow plastic! Yay for overseas manufacturing!
I have been buying, restoring and selling all sorts of hand tools for more then 40 years for a living and in that time I have had several hundred Stanley planes through my hands. I have never seen a blue Stanley hand plane (Record have always been blue, but this is not one of theirs). The casting looks much cheaper than anything that Stanley would put their name on -- even the modern cheap end planes are better in that respect. Stanley frog fixing screws have always been cheese-head shape and not round-head. The adjusting screw is not a Stanley item. The handle and knob fixing screws are also wrong. About the only things that is definitely Stanley are the lever cap and the blade. Having said that, I can not criticise the restoration and this should be a good user tool.

Hahaha The Sock lives!

Excellent restoration. Now it's ready for another lifetime of service.
Thomas Thompson thank you for watching This one was tough, but I was happy with how it turned out and have already used it for rough joining on a project.
Nice job! i really like the blue color!!!
Thank you for watching!
Just found your channel from your SKS vid. Honestly this is so satisfying to watch I wish you kept making videos!

Thank you for the clarification and thank you for watching!
Really great. A jack plane is on my shopping list now!
Thank you for watching Kelvin! Jack planes are a handy tool to have around if your doing and kind of woodworking!

Amazing restoration. This plane is gorgeous. The blue color was rather tasty. You really hit it hard with this one. Fine, fine work my friend.
Thanks Vince! You’re up mighty early! I tried to hit it hard but almost didn’t finish up strong on this one! Thank you for watching!

Hi, hope you are ok, just that you have not posted for a while. All the best to you and your family

Awesome, try to add more hashtags to the title to get more views ;)
Thanks! How do you know what hash tags to add?

Thanks for the tip!
Great restoration. But not one of the good stanley planes. Pre WW2 Stanley planes are better made.
I have been buying, restoring and selling all sorts of hand tools for more then 40 years for a living and in that time I have had several hundred Stanley planes through my hands. I have never seen a blue Stanley hand plane (Record have always been blue, but this is not one of theirs).

It is a 60's era Stanley 100%
