I just found one of these at an antique store for about 10 bucks. Looks like yours does in the beginning, excited to make it look like how yours does at the end, thanks for the video!

I hope this is helpful, as I haven't seen anyone mention it. BOTH the No 5C Type 11 and Type 12 had 3 Patent stamps. The way you tell them apart is by the adjustment nut (knob). There were two sizes of adjustment nuts made: An adjustment nut 1" in diameter (called a 'small') is only on the type 11 and an adjustment nut 1 1/4" in diameter (called a 'large') is a type 12. There is no way to distinguish a type 11 from a type 12 by just the number of listed patents:).

I just bought a1948 model I believe. The front tote is higher and does not have the patent dates in the bed. Mine has a corrugated sole too. I have your model also, but I like restoring them and getting them back in working order. Great video!

What kind of wire brush are you using on your buffer and what speed. I’ve really been struggling trying to clean up the corrugations.

It’s a Forney brand, fine bristle wire wheel

What specific wire wheels were you using on the grinder and the Dremel?
@acraftsmansarsenal2 ай бұрын
The wire wheel on the grinder is a Forney brand, fine bristle (which I highly recommend). The wire wheel that I used with the Dremel is not intended for use with a Dremel and it’s just a “no name”. I couldn’t tell you where to find them. I think I got that one at an estate sale.

What material did you use for the gasket? I need to change the gasket on mine, leaked on me and almost singed my hand. Probably should change the crusty felt (the filter part) too, didn't think to just use a big cotton ball but that seems to work just fine.

What I’ve done for the brass knobs with knurling is either only run the wire wheel with the “grain”, so it gets in between, or use a nylon wheel on my dremel to get in there. Not the scotchbrite, but like nylon bristles. Works awesome. Not really applicable here, but rustoleum makes clear paint. It’s great for metals where you like the patina but don’t want it to rust more, like the handles on the drill press I did.

The proper way to light one of those things is to create a gas pocket with the palm of your hand and move your hand sideways and spin the flint wheel with the palm. You can use it to light the dynamite fuse as you holler "shootin' coal".

great a lot of good decisions, a lot of people over polish and sand away the character of the casted handles, or etch them in evaporust then remove too much material. You struck a great balance. these things don't need to look brand new, while looking brand new. That is the trick

It's a Bailey, not a Stanley.
@wwtrkr31895 ай бұрын
It's a Stanley. Bailey was the guy that designed the original back in the 1860's. Stanley bought the design and then employed him. Hence the much imitated Bailey design, still produced by dozens of manufacturers up to this day. It was truly revolutionary after millennia of wooden planes, but this one, is a Stanley and they were the only company to use the Bailey name. The type numbers referred to are a system used by modern collectors to define age (type 11 1910-1918) as Stanley developed and improved the plane design over the decades, until (in my opinion) they started dropping quality in favor of cost after the Great Depression of 1929. It really is a fascinating history.

Looks just as, if not, _brighter_ than modern (up to the 1990s) incandescent flashlights. Certainly looks brighter than my 2 D-cell Maglite with a krypton bulb. I also like that it has a really nice warm glow. Nothing looks worst than the cold, sterile, bluish dazzle from an LED. I really admire that you don't change the functionality, just restore to original greatness. It lets us see how things used to be. Nice work.

These little lamps are amazing. I recently bought one to camp with and it makes starting small cooking fires a breeze while also allowing me to choose how much light I want to some extent. If needed to you can also use the soot from the flame to mark rocks along your trail and leave “breadcrumbs” instead of leaving plastic flagging tape tied to trees or spray paint.

Nice work, thanks for sharing. Through habit I set the knobs on all my planes with the grain running with the direction it’s being pushed in to reduce any chance of splitting out the bottom. Additionally, following a 3-5 day wait after spraying a finish on the knobs, I rub back with 0000 steel wool and then buff with Autosol (chucked in a battery drill) for a glassy finish 👍

patina gone antique ruined just kidding, but seriously leave the patina sometimes, it's better than exposing new material and will make them last even longer...
