Old Forgotten Stanley Hand Plane - Restoration

[@bobr4987]

I will never do what you do. But it's so satisfying to watch! Your knowledge of what to do and then executing it perfectly is an inspiration. Thanks for being here!

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks Bob, practice makes perfect! 🙂

Loved the power coating very sharp colors

[@shawnataylor7998]

Looks good, especially like that you used some Danish oil on the knob and handle and not paint..thanks for restoring this and not tossing out.

[@professor62]

Fantastic restoration! You really went above and beyond. Don’t think I’d ever seen someone remove the lateral adjustment lever before. You really knocked it out of the park.

[@DrRestoration]

Glad you liked it! Thanks Russ!

Great restore - love your color selection!

[@restorationconstantines7731]

a very good hand tool turned out

[@georgebrown8312]

Beautiful job on that plane. You got it working like new, too. Great work.

[@jan-reiniervoute6701]

There is a method of refurbishing screw heads by carefully peening back the edges of the screw slot where it was dinged with a small ballpeen hammer. This reduces or even eliminates the file work in the screw slot. Learned this from a gunsmith over half a century ago. Nice job, enjoy the plane.

Super lovely job man! Keep it up! I can smell the 10k subs

[@DrRestoration]

Gracias Sir!

[@mounix23]

Thanks 👍👍☺️

[@octavmandru9219]

You have installed the chip breaker on the wrong side of the iron. Therefore the iron is bevel up

[@DrRestoration]

Good eye, I did realize that and corrected it 🙂

[@brycesharpe7994]

You do beautiful work

[@jaeboogie9]

Nice vid! For future reference if you mix a little sawdust in to the wood glue it would hide that crack a little better

Good evening from Southeast South Dakota

Good evening 🙂👋

It is all Handyman Stanley only the lever cap is from Stanley. It's all supposed to be of blue colour. Nice work, I don't know why we love these tools so much. My first planer was Handyman bought about 60 years ago.

[@maggs131]

Its always a pleasure watching someone doing something they love. Nice job. The bits of comedy are also appreciated. The head slam on the sandblaster reminds me of a channel called hand tool rescue. If you haven't seen his videos I highly recommend them. I'm not saying this to ne a dick or pull views off your channel, I'm saying this as a reference for useful information.

[@DrRestoration]

Thank you for the kind words 🙂

Much appreciated Katie 🙂

[@richfolkes]

You did a splendid job of restoring that plane. However, it's not a Stanley plane that you restored. Only three parts are Stanley parts: 1) The plane iron 2) The cap iron 3) The retainer cap The tote handle, knob, body, frog and other parts consist of another make of plane. There is also two parts that you missed completely: 1) The frog adjuster screw 2) The retainer plate for the frog adjuster screw. But overall, you it was a magnificent restoration and I'm impressed.

[@CarlosJimenez-xx4qg]

Excelente comentario, se denota conocimiento en el tema.

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

A lot of you tubers use evap-O rust. Safe on hands and reusable soak items over night. Worth trying, if you ever have stubborn screws or use impact driver.

[@danaowen9014]

Nice.

[@RESTORATIONOFSCRAPMETAL]

Great job buddy Like 👍

[@brianlasch144]

This is a number 5 jack plane. It takes rhe same blade as a number 4 smoother

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks for the info! 🙂

[@leahcimressik5994]

Who is letting such a great device go to waste?

[@thiggy1249]

You have done a great job on this re-hab. However when you started with the disassembly, I had doubts that there was much "Stanley" to the plane. As you got into it, I realized that this looked familiar. I went downstairs to my shop and pulled out the only plane which I received new. It was a no.4 which my Dad gave me in the early 70's. Like your example, the lever cap was very roughly finished and painted gray, As is yours, my lateral adjusting lever did not have the "Stanley" name on it, nor did the main body casting. At least your plane came with wooden knob and tote - mine are just molded plastic. One can trace the 'cheapening down' of Stanley planes by examining those made in various years. The WW2 years kind of began the downhill slide of this old American brand.

[@DrRestoration]

I agree, I love the quality of real antique tools over the newer/cheaper tools, thanks for the comment! Cheers! 🙂

[@joelthoenen3733]

No one's gonna say anything about the chip breaker? It's not on the correct way

[@DrRestoration]

I did fix the blade set up off camera, when assembling, sorry about that! Good eye! 🙂

[@stevebowen809]

O i forgot to mention, you assembled it with the blade bevel up, it should be bevel down.

[@DrRestoration]

Good catch Steve, I did realize it and fixed it off camera. :)

[@stevebowen809]

@@DrRestoration I bet it made much nicer curls after :)

[@kevinlim2049]

Are you cousin to Odd Tinkering cuz you both like to restore stuff back to life.

[@tristiancorbett8896]

Brother to tysytube more likely they both love old tools

[@DrRestoration]

I can only hope to be adopted by odd tinkering and tysytube! 😂 They are a great inspiration!

Me: No way he can restore this Dr Restoration: Hold my beer

[@tayyabsafdar7069]

The frog is of Handyman Stanley.

[@stevebowen809]

Nice job, blade needs sharpening and it will cut like a dream

[@cathybenson5119]

I learnt that righty tighty, lefty loosey. Maybe in other countries it's the opposite.

[@dboboc]

It’s too bad these restoration videos concentrate too much on being “satisfying” instead of doing it properly.

[@dmytrii297]

good work... but blue (sky)....hmmmm..

[@tomowens2720]

Usually enjoy all your projects. This one not so much. Your channel, your choices of course. Blacking the chip breaker was bad, sanding rust off the body diagonally was worse, the color choice was terrible. Don't hate on me but that old Stanley deserved better.

[@DrRestoration]

Thanks for the feedback Tom, always striving to learn and improve! 🙂👍
