I don’t know what happened to this page, but watching all of these got me through the pandemic. I learned so much from these videos. Thank you for each and every one of these videos.
I have quite a few handplanes with damaged tote and/or knob and so far l have only repaired one of them. Nedless to say it didn’t even come close to what You show us here. You Sir are a true artisan! Ten thumbs up!
Outstanding work, I’ve never been a fan of Gorilla Glue but it really seems to work well in this instance. Thanks for teaching me something new. Have you ever tried using a bolt (maybe threaded rod) the same diameter as the hole, with nuts and washers to clamp it together and keep the alignment?
If using activated polyurethane (Gorilla Glue), it will foam into the bolt hole and glue your clamp in place. I think it would work with normal wood glue.
I've got a front knob that's been split into four quarters (I'm guessing in an unfortunate gravity-related incident). Is it savable with wooden pins and epoxy?
That old black tape was called friction tape. It was used in conjunction with a self-vulcanizing rubber tape for electrical insulation work. It was used prior to the day of vinyl electrical tape.
Do you know up to what year did the Stanley’s have rosewood handles? I have a #4 type 19 with rosewood handles and I’m not sure why because were it was found it was sitting there for a good bit of years, I have earlier types that don’t have rosewood.
Nice job that tote really looks great. have you repaired a tote were the horn has been partially broken and the broken section is gone? How would you deal with that repair?
Thank you for the advise I will give it a try. I would also like to thank you for your planes for veterans. It is a real nice way of helping them out and wonderful way to help in the healing process. I am sure they appreciate your help.

The electrical tape tip for the knob at 11:00 was amazing! thanks for sharing your techniques.
Thanks. I have a #5 with a broken tote, a tote I was going to replace. I'm going to see if I can repair it before I give up on it.
Beautiful repairs on those rosewood pieces.
That is unbelievable. I've done this a few times with mixed results. Nice work
Wow! What an amazing job! I didn't expect them to look so good! Very satisfying. As a bonus I learned something too! Thanks.
I miss this channel’s content so much. I thought he took it down forever but I guess it’s back up.
Nice repair job Keith, looks like new again.
Thanks for another good video. Good timing, I am repairing/restoring a #5. The tote is good, but knob has small cracks.
Thanks for the lesson.
Great job.mine cracked same place.
Wouldn't it be easier to use a long, thin bolt through the handle where it was bored, and some blocks of wood as a clamp, when gluing?
Dang fine work.
Stunning results , question, I am restoring a Stanley plane what is the thread pitch on the tote and knob bolts? Thank you in advance
Beautiful job my friend :) ॐ

It should work perfectly if that through bolt is a very close fit... I was wondering the same.
If using activated polyurethane (Gorilla Glue), it will foam into the bolt hole and glue your clamp in place. I think it would work with normal wood glue.
Great repair, I will definitely try this method. Do you sand between every coat of lacquer or just after the 5th?

Wonder if automotive hose clamp might work on knob?

damn brother you are good.

All types have rosewood other than Types 17, 18, and 20+. Type 19 went back to rosewood for roughly a decade until ~1962
Why would you stain the handles?
Keith, I have a broken tote and I suspect remnants of glue from a prior repair. How would you handle this problem? Thanks for any help!
Thanks for your quick replies Keith. I know you are busy.

Keith , why not titebond 2 woodglue ?? Or do you feel GG is stronger ???
Dang, can I buy one of those 340's off of you?
if people did this stanley wouldn't have had to make aluminum handles
