Coffin plane raised from the dead

Love the video. I just purchased a slightly larger one for $2.00, and plan on using this video as my guide. Thanks.

That was certainly far more work than i originally had planned, but at least I got there in the end! :-)

Very interesting, cheers. I have just been given several planes including grooving and coffin planes to restore/practice on. Thanks for the advice. I will let you know how the restorations go.

Brilliant. Just show that if a blade isnt heat treated properly it makes a huge differance. Great video Richard 😁👏👍🏼

[@BrainFizz]

Thanks Japie, yeah it makes a big difference…. I certainly didn’t consider that it would even need doing either….must have been changed, annealed, or just always rubbish?!?

[@PotgieterWoodturning]

@@BrainFizz well i talk from experience as at times i make my own turning tools and if the heat treat is botched, then the tool is a zero on a contract.

Nice job, now you need a brass hammer for adjusting 🛠👍😊

[@BrainFizz]

Lol.. What bi actually need is the time to turn the brass and ash i already have sent aside, into a hammer…… although to be fair, chances are ill just use the Warrington……it’s not getting massive hammer blows, and the beech is pretty sturdy

Nooice!!!

[@BrainFizz]

Thanks!! I’ve no idea how old this little plane is, but its back in circulation now, and part of a team of vintage tools being used to repair windows and doors in historic homes around England.

@@BrainFizz Wow! Those would make some awesome vids 😉

Yes thats the way the channel will be heading moving forward, its what I'm already doing over on instagram, so it'll just be a continuation here I think..and include the restoration of a lot of the tools I'm using on those projects.
