How to restore a Stanley No.8!! Awesome Results

In this video I restore a early 1900's Stanley Bailey No. 8 jointer plane. I also show a more step by step process of my polishing techniques and how to use a buffing wheel with certain polishing compounds. I am including links to some of the products I recommend and use below in the description. After finishing my latest restoration of a Stanley No. 5(Click on the link below), I am going to start incorporating more of the greaseless buffing compounds to eliminate a lot of the sanding.

You weren't playing with that buffing! Really enjoyed watching 👍

[@cannonwoodworking5917]

Thank you sir. Let me know some other hand tools you would like to see. I'm working on 3 more rt now. It just takes time to make the videos

Very nice job, thank you.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the video. Cool wrench used when changing the buffing pads. I have some concern about the sides being flat, it can affect the finish product if one uses it on a shooting board.

[@cannonwoodworking5917]

Ok thanks for the compliment I usually use a dedicated plane for shooting. Rob cosman suggests using a woodriver 5 1/2. He also mentions that the lateral adjustment can square the blade. He has encountered that issue as well. I hope this helps

Great job. How do you decide on whether you repaint and when you don't?

[@cannonwoodworking5917]

Thank you for the compliment and thank you for watching the video. It all depends on how much japanning is left. The no.8 was in good shape. If you watch my video on the keen kutter no.6 restoration..the japanning needed to be redone. On my no.5 restoration video..I was going to repaint that one..but after soaking it..the japanning on it was in good shape. My personal preference is..if it's 90 to 95% in tack, I leave it alone. Hope this helps

[@philipchandler330]

Reference the original Japanning did you strip it, sand blast and re Japan or did you just strip old japanning, sand blast then Spray paint 6 coats?

@@philipchandler330 on that particular plane i did not touch the original japanning..it was in good shape

Q: The brass screw, why did not remove it from the metal holder, will not the rust within continues to eat the metal? .. Also thanks for showing us the progression of compounds BLK - WHT - GRN

Brother, I need one, please tell me how I can get it. What should be taken through the courier, brother, please?

Hi. Love the video. However, I was under the impression that white was a finer polish than green. On steel and iron I've always finished with white on a loose wheel. Am I mistaken?

[@cannonwoodworking5917]

The green is the finer polish. You can also finish with white depending on how you want the item to be polished. I usually only use green as the last step with brass items. According to Caswell plating where I purchase alot of buffing items..they recommend white with a cotton flannel wheel and green compound on the loose wheel. Hope this helps

[@cannonwoodworking5917]

If you have further questions about my polishing technique take a look at the videos. The one I recently posted about restoring a 10 1/2 turned out pretty good.
