I recently received a beautiful Stanley No 602C type 6 in the mail. I've been waiting over 5 years for it. I can't wait until I see that beautiful No 4 in a restoration video.
Great buy and great video, Dave! You do videos very well. You have a great voice and a nice, laid-back presentation style. Very easy-and enjoyable!-to watch your vids. Can’t wait for the next one!
Saw your finish video first, that turned out great. Fun to watch your minimal technique. I bought a group of three planes awhile back for eighty dollars locally. A 5 1/2 and a 4 both type elevens and a 6, I think is a type 4 or 5. At first i wasn't too jazzed about he six due to backwards adjuster and no lateral level plus already have one. So I just sharpened blade and set up chip breaker, cleaned under the frog and basically wiped it down. Had a big job come up using a lot of larger wood and decided to try it out as a fore plane. I like it better than the other one, a type 13, it is lighter and just feels better, it really surprised me. But have to admit it took awhile to get used to reverse depth adjuster. Got new respect for these oldies.
That right hand adjuster gets me every time. Union laterals have the disc above the pin which makes them the opposite of a Stanley, gets a bit of getting used to.
Dave, you scored! Recently my focus has been on planes and shaves and learning what I can from you, MJ, James and several others on YT. I printed a chart I found online last week for types 1-20 and did pretty well following the clues to determining your type 6. Looking forward to seeing it tuned, cleaned and working. George
Thanks for sharing, I purchased a large portion of my Defiance by Stanley collection off eBay and some of them have just been.... less than desired and some people need to go back to school to learn how to use a tape measure because there's a big difference between 7.5" and 9.25" when trying to get a plane that may not even exist ( Defiance 1202, not the Eclipse, but the Defiance ). Aside from that I can happily say I have completed the entire Defiance plane collection along with many other Defiance tools. I love hunting for them !!!
That’s great! I personally feel the hunt is 1/2 the fun of working with these old tools. You never know where you will find a good old used tool. I’ve used eBay for years and got some good deals and of course some not so good deals. Thanks for sharing you story about the Defiance line of planes. Keep hunting!!!!
Nice find. My best eBay deal was a sweetheart era No. 97 chisel plane. It was advertised as used, and had a healthy coat of grime in the pics. Paid about $200. When I cleaned it up, I discovered that it had never been used, or even sharpened. Japanning and rosewood are perfect, gorgeous patina. We don't talk about the eBay fails..
I’ve had a few good ones myself, once bought a lot of 3 planes and the seller sent me an “extra” with the lot. The extra turned out to be a type 1 Millers Falls No 8, and no we won’t talk about all the bad ones….lol
I know this was an unboxing not a restoration. I am so happy to see you handle the cleanup gently and announce your plans to finish it in the same way. There are some too butchers on TH-cam that think they are restoring tings.
Have a 4 type 5, more battered when acquire - chipped tote, pitting in one side, no japanning left. Fixed it up further than your plane (cannot complain I overpaid, think I paid about $5 USD). L it as a user plane. The tote for some reasons feels nicer than the "newer" rosewood Stanleys, don't know why and the plane a good 150 grams lighter. Feels considerably more nimble in use. Plus the plane is covered in patent stamping which is indeed cool. Have a thing for old pre type 9 Stanleys ever since..
As of yet I do not own a short knob plane, so would love to see how much you do to yours. This is a 5 star channel - I get excited every time a new video pops up.
I don’t plan on doing much to it, there is something about a low knob especially an early one that just calls to me. After I sold my type 5 I instantly started to look for another, and I’m really happy with this one.
I would be bubbling over if I had that plane because I love history. Being a woodworker I’d be hopefully making something for my family, that is handed down through history, using a historic hand plane.
I don’t remember every detail about all the types, but usually I can type one on the fly. The smaller details I forget here and there, hence why there are text and a few asterisks here and there on my videos.
You certainly got lucky. The packaging was the same quality as a Stanley No 604½ I purchased from fleabay. It arrived with a fresh chip out of the rear corner of the cheek. 😢
That's really cool. I've never really used a hand plane. Can you learn to restore them first and then get better at using them? I got a rand new Bench Dog plane as a gift but I'm told it would need to be "tuned up" to work correctly. What do you suggest a newbie do first?
Use it, as you are using it you begin to find things out about the plane that need adjusting or “tuning”. There are a boat load of videos on TH-cam on how to sharpen or tune a hand plane. Make sure the sole is mostly flat, the frog seat to the body solidly, and of course make sure the iron is sharp!
I got my #2 Stanley on eBay on a lot of planes (3 or 4). The photos weren't very good (not very many and out of focus). The #2 was speculation on my part based on the shape of the tote and I know it was a Stanley based on the lateral adjust.
Can’t wait to see it restored. Thanks for sharing.

Here’s the video on that plane being tuned! th-cam.com/video/ahGoAd7tDM8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ev_PAVvTBfE72LYp

Well I thank you whole heartedly for the compliment, I will definitely make more Russell! 😁
Excellent knowledge of the history of Stanley tools. And I suppose, not only. Great Dave. Looking forward for next topic.

This one is a classic example of a “Blend Type”, it has a few features from types that would overlap. I’d say this one is an early type 6.
Very nice “unboxing” video. Looking forward to the follow-up. Thx for posting👍, and absolutely a good deal
Thanks for the walk through. The low knob caught my eye first. Looking forward to the next video.
Shocking this is in that great of shape considering the years of use you can see on it. Man this was a good find.
I like the plane more everyday. I’m going to do a video of the tuning of this plane soon.
Interesting video, I am waiting for a low knob number 3 to come from an e-bay purchase, hope it turns out as nice as yours.

@@DaveCorinthit is all about the hunt for me and the first time I hear the plane screech when talking a shaving.

The older ones do have some pretty good looking lines and curves!
I think you did very well, always appreciate your videos.
Thank you very much!

You knocked it out of the park!
I’m definitely happy with the plane. Sometimes you get real gems.
I would be bubbling over if I had that plane because I love history. Being a woodworker I’d be hopefully making something for my family, that is handed down through history, using a historic hand plane.
I was bubbling over when I found out it was in such good shape. Thanks for watching!
Bloody nice plane lad. I think you did well.😊
Beautiful plane! I honestly don't understand how you guys remember everything about each type.🤔 I can't wait to see the end results in the next video.

Anytime a large cast iron plane makes it in one piece I consider it a success!!!!
Great buy. My heart did skip when I saw the hole in that box though.
My heart too…..thankfully no damage though!
Everyone wish Dave a happy birthday!
Thank you sir!!!!!
That's really cool.

Sometimes you get lucky!
Very nice score
Thanks, I certainly think so as well!

Glad it paid off! A no 2 Stanley, thats awesome!!!!!
Amazing ❤
Thank you sir!
