Really wonderful work. I also have a Stanley Bailey 4 1/2 Made in England plane that went through a similar process. I decided to take the wood down to it's natural color and apply a clear finish. I also power coated the body black. I really love those 1/2 size Stanley Bailey planes! You did exquisite work. One thing I would have like to see, put that board on it's face and let us see faceplaning as well as edgeplaning. Again, great restoration, Well Done!

Hey there. Thanks so much for the nice comment, much appreciated! I did think about going further on the wood, but it was so dry I was worried it was going to crack before I got the oil on. I agree on the half size, it gives it a real weight it's a chunky plane! And you're right I should have captured faceplaning! I will record it on the next one, thanks again!

I envy you, you have a powder coating setup :) I recently spray-painted the metal parts of a transitional plane, and the paint's already coming off :(

Marvelous restoration job you did on the old plane. It looks much better than before and it works like a charm after you sharpened and adjusted the blade. Excellent work.

Excellent restoration, like the way you went about the whole process. You have turned that into a beautiful, and usable plane, must be a pleasure to use. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.

Hey thanks for the comment! It really is a pleasure to use, it feels totally solid and has a real weight to it, planes lovely, it almost glides along! Glad you enjoyed the video too! I am probably going to be doing my record vice from around 1953 next. I use it all the time but it needs new jaws and some soft jaws I can clip in, or easily swap out. And some kind of base so I can move it on the bench somehow.

Cracking restoration. I’ve just been given a Stanley plane from my Dad and am planning on giving it a quick once over. Maybe not quite to this standard but very satisfying to see what can be done 🙌🏼

@OldSchoolResto 5 ай бұрын

Thanks, give it a go, just take your time, and work on each piece, no real specialist tools needed, I only really had the polisher, and that really only speeds up the final polish. Its basically time! Enjoy the process, and your Dad's plane can easily come out as good!

Great job, but why leave the plane body unprotected from rust and not repair the crack in the knob?

@OldSchoolResto 5 ай бұрын

Hi There, thanks! The inside of the plane body, and the frog got three coats of boiled linseed oil, that dries and forms a layer which will prevent rust, it's like a vey thin resin when it dries, you can feel it on there, it will need coating again, eventually. The outside of the plane body has loads of polishing compound still on it which again will protect from rust. When that wears off with use I will rub paste wax into it every 6 months or so, that will keep it rust free. The crack on the knob, excellent question! I went round and round with that! The issue was it was so dry, like a bone, so it needed soaking in oil, and that expands the wood, so if I filled it first I was worried that the wood would expand and the filler wouldn't and so it might crack all the way though. So I soaked it first, then my concern was that the filler wouldn't adhere to the wood with the oil on, and I thought the wood may contract again. In the end I went for no filler so the it can expand and contract with no issue. With it oiled it does now feel more stable! Thanks for the watch and the question!

@@OldSchoolResto I hate the original glossy japanning, and I've finished all my restored planes in matte black paint. With these post-1950 beech handles, you should definitely try making your own out of nicer wood! I've made some out of walnut, and while it's not as fancy as the original rosewood, it's still much nicer than the beech they started using after WWII.

@OldSchoolResto 5 ай бұрын

Yes, the rosewood are so nice, but I can never find any at reasonable prices! That's not a bad idea, I might have a go at making my own next time, thanks!

@brians654 5 ай бұрын

The oil significantly reduced the crack and the knob looks to be perfectly usable. I like this restoration; sympathetic and no OCD replacement of any slightly worn part. This is a restoration I could attempt with my modest collection of tools.

@@brians654 thanks Brian! That is exactly what I am going for with this channel, trying to do some nice sympathetic Restorations to get things usable, and nice looking without going overboard, and with pretty much standard tools. Thanks again!
