    As a member of the hand tool woodworking community, it always strikes me as surprising, Mr. Pete, that you think such tools are obsolete. They are as useful now as they have always been. Superior to an electric router in terms of flexibility, lack of screaming decibels, and minimal dust production. I'm not sure how much you paid for that box of planes, but in the antique markets here in Houston, Texas, those 3 Stanleys would fetch a total of several hundred dollars.
    Also, I love the "What Is It" series, especially the rants! Please keep it going. Kind regards,

    While I'm not a Plane person, I think having two complete sets of the Stanley 45's is amazing. And I think having a 113 Compass plane complete and in that condition is beyond amazing. If I was a collector, I think I would covet that one.

    Thanks for doing this video. I still use the wood working tools that my Great Uncle Al Sitnick left me. He had Stanley tooling. He was born in 1892. His advice was always let the tool do the work. The level he left me was made from Mahogany and Brass. The tubes are still intact and can be calibrated. I hope to leave these to my Grandchildren along with the planes, squares, Brace and Bits, and his old hand made tool tote. I have kept these for 50 years.

    Two-start threads. As you said, they advance twice as far per turn as single start.
    I’ve watched every one of you videos and have enjoyed them all. And learned 10x more than my HS shop class.

    I have three versions of the Stanley compass plane and a 45 with a complete set of cutters. I have restored these planes as well as many others. I use them all them and love them all. They are much more than works of art. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

    Mr Pete, yes we are watching and some of us are paying attention. I enjoy every aspect of your videos which in my opinion are the best on TH-cam. There is an old "saying" that I bet you know as well as I. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Thank you for hours of enjoyment and education, please don't change a thing!

  • @raydavis1612
    @raydavis1612 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Each of the Stanley 45 planes would have had 3 boxes of cutters totaling 45 blades. The more expensive Stanley 55 had 4 boxes of cutters. Both planes were able to be set up for making tongue and groove joints as well as thousands of molding profiles for trim. I own and use these planes. Thanks for all the great content in your videos.

    I framed houses for nearly 20 years, I've had my fill of woodworking. Now I love making things with metal which keeps my Bridgeport and lathe humming but that doesn't mean I can't stop for a minute to marvel at and appreciate hand tools made so many years ago. Those things are really quite elegant and in remarkable condition. It's obvious why you like them and I appreciate you sharing as they are the first I've seen like that. One more thing, please, ignore the crotchety old buttholes. You keep doing your videos the way you want, that's what got you the number of subscribers you have, including me. All the best Mr. Pete!

    Thanks for the great video Mr. Peterson. As you said, whether it interests you or not, these are beautiful planes. My collection is rather modest but I sure hope to have a 45 some day. Thanks for sharing and take care!!!

    I’m sorry I’m not a purist. I love all tools new,old,metal,wood,stone,ect. They are all great but those tools made from the early 1900,s on were made with unbelievable skill and pride. When time meant quality and workmanship was cherished not considered waste. Love the video. Thanks.

    I have one of these old 45’s. All the screws, and wing nuts are brass and it has very detailed embossed artwork on the frame. It does not have the wooden knob on the fence. I think that was one of the improvements made in the early 1900’s. I have built a shelf in my shop where it is on display, a true work of art.

    It is artwork. I just love machines. We have a welder in our shop and on his lunch time he works on personal stuff and when he goes home he is working on metal projects. I spoke to him about it and he said that he just loves metal. He heats it hammers it and welds it. His welds are like a machine made them

    I had one of those, in box, and I ended up selling it because I needed the money. I used it once too. I was in the process of changing out my carpet so I screwed a 2x4 to the sub-flooring and planed some pine with my Stanley #45. Neat little suckers.

    Thank you for this video. I am one of the people who used to watch all of your videos, but for whatever reason they disappeared from my feed. I'm going to catch up today. I own a Stanley No. 45 with all of the attachments that came from my grandfather ( who died in the 1956 Shamrock Refinery fire in 1956, so I never met him). I used them when I built an entertainment center about 20 years ago, but not since. Thank you for all you do.

  • @eddalexander9005
    @eddalexander9005 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When I worked for the winch company, we called the threads with two starts double lead or double start threads. We even made some gear boxes with triple lead gear sets. A Model AA truck rear axle has a worm and gear set with four starts. Much higher efficiency than a single start thread but much lower than a hypoid gear set.

  • @jonbush9533
    @jonbush9533 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for showing the planes. Brought back memories of when I was a kid at my grandfather's (he was a Master Millwright at Ft Logan Army Hospital in Colorado)... my dad showed me how all his old planes worked including a Stanley 45... to be honest with you, if you only need to do two or three cuts it's faster to setup and finish with a Stanley 45 than dig out the router table and bits and set that up. There are lots of times when working with organic metal that I'll grab my ready-to-run hand plane to clean something up instead of plugging in the power planer. Thanks again. These side branches into all your acquisitions is fun.

    Without people like you there would be soooo much history detail lost.
    Appreciate the effort you're putting in, I really enjoy the "WHAT IS IT? MYSTERY TOOL" series.
    Also like the detailed silent photos you put at the end, allows me to ruminate on what you have been discussing. Nice idea, wish others would use the technique instead of ending suddenly and smashing the contemplation of what I have just watched.
    Well done!

    Hello Mr. Pete - I haven’t read all the comments yet, so maybe it’s been answered already: two coaxial threads of different pitches form a differential screw. These are used on the popular Deckel D-bit grinders for fine feed of the workpiece. Thanks for the show & tell!

  • @AerialPhotogGuy
    @AerialPhotogGuy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    On the one where you can plane concave or convex shapes, the screws for the radius adjustment are called "Differential Screws", they can be made for extremely fine adjustments or very course adjustments.

  • @woodshopsquared3183
    @woodshopsquared3183 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    That craftsman is made by Stanley, the blade adjustment lever is what they used on their "Defiance" brand which were less expensive but work every bit as well as as a standard one. As for the 45s, I keep one set up for cutting grooves for boxes and another for doing tongue and groove in 7/8ths stock. They work great and unlike a router you rarely need ear protection.

    The thread you refer to is a double lead thread. Twice the travel per turn, but 1/2 the force. The starts are 180 degrees apart and indexing is crucial. I have only cut one of these on a manual lathe and it was sucessful and quite interesting. Looks like you have some nice old planes there. Thanks for the video!

    Very interesting. The plane that you showed with the grooved base plate (you called it 'corrugated') reminded me that I purchased a new spare grooved base plate for my Stanley number 5 round about 1985. They were available then in the UK. The plate was recommended for planing 'highly resinous dense wood' such as pitch pine. Cheerio from Bolton (near Manchester). 👍🇬🇧👍🇺🇲👍

    I worked with a carpenter many years ago, he had practically every tool like the ones you have displayed to call the the man a genius where working with timber is concerned is an understatement.
    Such is life the man died and his brother took all the tools which was only right, sadly when his brother died his tool shed was cleared out by family.
    What a shame, I literally cried on the front step, would I have used the tools ? I doubt it but I would have had a great selection of tools around my living room.

    @N7BLW 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The rear slitter and it's depth stop are upside down on both 45s. The point goes down.. The three-winged cutter on the right side was used for cross grain planing. It cut the fibers just ahead of the main cutting iron.

    Beautiful hand tools. Very intriguing about the operation, I'd love to see you and maybe Stumpy Nubs trying them out on some wood.
    As far as that black handle goes, if it isn't ebony, my best guess would be that it's bakelite, like an old Western Electric telephone before they came out with the colors in the '60s.

It was quite a job cutting the edges and particularly so when I had to learn about the direction of the wood grain. How is a twelve year old going to learn without using tools? Tubal Cain, sir, don’t worry, at times everyone gets bored. They just learn to deal with it.. it’s not your problem, it’s theirs.

    I realize the black handle plane was painted but here's a little Stanley trivia on handles: from late 40's early 50's, the New York City School System special ordered Stanley planes with hard rubber handles and knobs. A Stanley collector friend showed me this model and it was stamped New York City School Board. I taught a year or so of beginning wood shop and had to order many replacement handles and other parts from Stanley.

    I did a lot of restoration/reproduction work with the 45 &55 in the late 80s and 90s. I still have an extra pointy elbow on my right arm to show for it (overdeveloped tendon anchor from pushing the planes).

    Now you're in my part of the woods ! Being a woodworker. There are plane collectors who would love to have those planes. i'm sure you can find them. your specimens look as if they've been preserved unbelievably or cleaned (well). The Compass plane is quite hard to handle in reality . The blade must be kept very razor sharp to be effective. I have a few hand made knock-offs ca. 1950-60. they are not nearly as well made.
