Thanks for the great insights into your care of these precious tools. I inherited a No. 6 from a dear old friend who passed on several years. He was a real craftsman, an import from Denmark... "my Great Dane!" I'm going to honor him with the same treatment of this old No. 6 as you did with your No. 5. I really appreciate the information and I know Peter would be pleased.

Chris, I inherited the "Family Hand Tools" that dates back to the early-1600s. My grandfather left them to me I think because he and I had a very special bond. He started teaching me about woodworking when I turned ten and he gave me my own workbench that is still in my shop today. It was his grandfather's which made it even more special to me. He set it up in my own nook of his shop and every opportunity I had I was with him working in his/our shop. The family handtools came mostly from Ireland and England along with a few handmade plows and molding planes that were made over the years. My ancestor who came to America was a cabinet maker and it became a tradition that the eldest son would carry on the trade and inherited the tools. That tradition was only broken two times when one of my great, great Aunts received them and now I have them. Whenever I make something for a family member I used those tools in the making of the item. And I burn the family crest into it that I had made up so they would know that the family tools were used to make it. It is my way of keeping us all connected to our past. Heritage is important to me and always was even as a child. When I was 31 I backpacked around Ireland and Italy and walked the same streets my ancestors did. I met my 2nd cousin through Facebook and now we have gotten close. They hosted my nephew when he was in Rome on business and I facilitated that. I wanted him to meet our family there. We need to keep our young people connected to their past so they can appreciate the sacrifices our ancestors made so we could live the abundant lives we all have now. Sorry to ramble.

Matt Ezell, how did your Craftsman resto turn out? I just found a Craftsman that belonged to my Grandfather and I’m in the middle of bringing it back into working condition. He didn’t have an antique collection nor would he approve of his tool sitting idly by in disrepair. If you have any resources for dating the antique Craftsman planes please message me! Only marks are the letters BL after made in USA on the cutting iron, and some stamped letters in the red frog. 14+” long, black porcelain like finish, flathead fasteners, two handles, cap iron has an oval recess with blue field and raised Craftsman logo when the C looked like a bolt head. Oval Craftsman sticker towards the toe of the plane, raised made in USA ahead of the frog, smooth sides and bottom, on the rear handle has a raised mount, besides that everything is smooth. Any information would be much appreciated!

Keep up the restoration work, the haters will not be around in 100 years to critique the work you are doing now but the plane will be to reveal its history!
@crossgrainwoodproductsltd92304 жыл бұрын
One of my hobbies is collecting and restoring old hand planes and the better ones I keep for myself and some I sell after restoring them. I have 8 block planes I bought in one lot and so I'll be starting on those in the next few years. I'm a history buff and love old tools of any kind but especially woodworking ones. My pride and joy are some very old tools that have been in my family since the 1600s when the first cabinet maker came to America to lead a better and freer life. (He would be turning over in his grave if he saw the state of our country now) But he built his own house and furnishings with those very tools and every eldest child after that. My Grandfather lite my passion for woodworking and I spent every visit with him in his shop. He had modern tools but favored the hand tools. He was a cabinet maker/furniture maker over his lifetime and loved the smell of his shop. It was a cross between his soap he used and the smell of whatever wood he was working with at the time. By 10, I started to use hand tools. By 12 I could take apart any hand tool, sharpen and clean it and it was ready for use again. I dissected tools with him and got to know how to get the most from the tools early on. This not only made me appreciate them but how to use them properly. By 14 I was using the newer tools. That would be the 22" bandsaw out in the wood storage area of the shop. Its a behemoth of a saw. But it is a beautiful piece of machinery too. The wheels spokes were wavy, and the blade huge compared to blades today and is in my shop now. My Grampa built a special cabinet of mahogany and glass to keep our Ancestors hand tools to keep them separate from his everyday planes. He did use them when he made gifts for our family members. I was very proud to be the first female in our family to inherit them. The male woodworkers in the family were happy for me and knew how close I was with him. They know I will take care of them until they get passed to the next generation of woodworkers. I have the original handmade toolbox that the first ancestor who came to the US carried them in, in the 1600s. I keep them in the cabinet my grampa built for them in my shop now. I had a special iron stamp made with the family crest on it and whenever I make a gift for a family member I stamp it so they know it was made with the family tools. We take our family history and honoring a person's wishes seriously and always have honored the wish for those original tools to stay within the family. Amazingly, not one relative has ever tried to sell them, which is amazing considering they are more than 400 years old! I thought I would share this story with you.

The Menz Shed I belong to gets a lot of old tools donated to it, and I have restored probably about a half dozen metal planes, and two wooden planes. Come to think of it, I also had to 'restore' my own brand new Stanley block plane that was unusable out of the wrapping, but is now my favourite plane. I had one Record #4 plane that must have been sharpened so many times it had run out of adjustment, but it was nice to find that replacement Irons were available from the local Bunnings DIY store (New Zealand) and only cost about NZ$30. There is something very therapeutic about sharpening and restoring tools, but I don't particularly enjoy getting covered in the black graphite from sanding the ductile cast iron plane bodies. Planes, in particular, seem to have a marked predilection to going rusty. Incidentally, I currently have a 600mm long #8 plane on the bench about half way restored. It does not have a makers name on it, unless there is one hiding under the rust on the lever-cap. This is a truly large plane, and dwarfs the #5 1/2 Jack Plane which was previously my largest plane.

When I buy a second hand tool I will often ask the seller if they know the history. If it’s a family member I assure the seller it will be respected. As these family members were often craftsmen surely respecting the item for them would have been as a working tool? I doubt any of them originally bought the plane to sit on a shelf and look pretty. It seems so rare seeing someone else, besides myself, actually wash a plane prior to removing the rust. To me it seems the sensible thing to do. Another great video, really enjoyed it.

I never worry too much about doing a museum type restoration. My tools have to be used and if they can't be restored with that in mind, I don't buy them. I too think about the hands that held my planes, some close to 200 years old, and the boards the planes were used on and what the boards were used in - are they still around? Great video. I also had seen the WD-40 Rust Remover at our Big box store and found a sale for it on Amazon. Bought 5 gallons super cheap. A number 6 and an 8 will be seeing it first. Both as a pair for $25. My preventative has been Boeshield T-9 for a number of years. Developed by Boeing to prevent rust on tools and tables at sea and in port. Used on the Gulf Coast and now in a non-climate controlled barn/shop. Alsways like your videos - keep it up.

I have a no4 type 11 but is has considerable pitting in spots. Restored it the best i could but its not worth sanding all the pitting out. Great tool

If it is a working plane maybe you can fill the pits with epoxy or something? Whatever gets them going again is OK in my book. I've done some crazy stuff to fix up old clapped out hand planes. It's always a thrill to get that first shaving out of them.
