One of the finest tool restoration videos I have seen. Amazingly done without blabbing or music, and intensley interesting and a great learning experience. I have a large collection and am now inspired this winter to refurbish a few worn items. Thank you very much for the boiled linseed oil trick, much appreciated. I have some wooden planes as well, and was wondering what finish to use on the upper parts. I see I need some finer tipped brushes and better paint.
I pop the screws into my battery drill for a quick clean and polish on wet and dry with a dab of 3 in 1 oil and then buff on leather with a polishing compound. Same for the depth adjustment knob and the front wooden knob. Works a treat. Restoring bench planes is too much fun to stop at one. Great stuff, keep on giving these old tools a second chance 👍
For the outside edges, I’d use sandpaper on a flat surface to keep the edges straight. To remove the metal coating, I believe that paint stripper should do the job. Thanks for watching.
I did some research on my plane and it made between 1933 and 1941 so I was well out with the age I did a bit of restoration on it but no were compared to you it's great to watch a master at work love your work
Many thanks for watching, and for your comment. Most times I end up using the tools that I work on. However, this hand plane belonged to a friend who asked me to restore it.
Enjoyed watching! FYI The chipper that sits on the blade edge should be sharpened and not polished. It needs to have perfect fit with the blade so shavings don’t get stuck between them.
Nice restore... Would be great if you tell us the materials you are using for the cleanup. If not verbally, maybe in the notes? Would be nice to learn more. Thanks.
Actually it is a plane made between 1980 and 1999. It is really not old at all. I saw them new. No Stanley handplane handles were ever just oiled. They were all clear coated” varnished”. Reason oil reacted with japanning on early ones. 1960-1980 planes were baked enamel. 1980-1990 some were enamel some were early powder coating. 1990+ powder coating. Since this one had no finish left early powder coating. Other clues include the blade adjuster being aluminum as well as the nuts holding handles. Up to 1980 all were brass. The lever cap lettering color for that year was not red but light green. The cap iron is also curved at the top. Prior to 1970 they were flat. Woodandshop doesn’t cover 1970 - current Stanley planes.
If your intention is to sell that plane, please dont ask for anything near what other "restored" planes are going for. A correctly restored Stanley will utilize Japaning. And not "metal paint". Japaning will last 100s of years. Metal paint a few decades at best. Other than that, it looks good.
Eh. This is a cleanup of a tool that is still available today. Not old at all. This is the Stanley 5 1/2 - 12-905 version of the older Bailey planes. This model can be bought new now. I think this explains the surface rust and how easy it was to clean up. It flaked off like Cheeto dust. I don’t think it had to be stripped either. The japanning ( if it had it) would have been a much better finish. When an older pre-WW2 plane is restored it is really hard to get it shines due to the level the patina had gone. I have done a lot of these. Good user plane. Not worth very much. I can get them all the time in the 40$ range. Nice clean up.

Many thanks for your kind comments. Good luck with your own restorations.

if I don't have a sandblast hood what is the best way to clean the iron body? Thanks, Greg

I have got the same plane of my own its about fifty years old and still does the job perfectly
Great to hear that it’s still performing well

Many thanks for your very kind words@@derekpaddock1563
Excellent care and attention with your restoration projects. I'm wondering, do you sell on your restored tools or keep as part of your own collection?

Thanks for watching, and thank you for the constructive feedback.
Every time I’ve used b.l.o on rosewood, it turns it black. We’re your tote and knob rosewood ?
Hi, thanks for watching, and for your comment. I think this plane is a newer one (made after 1960) that doesn’t have a rosewood handle.
Amazing bro 👏👍👍👍👍👍😁
Thank you! Cheers!
restoration or cleaning? what's different?
