I've never seen a wooden planer before,,,awesome restoration!

[@MrSCOTTtheBADGER]

I am surprised as well.

[@edopin]

Look on Matthias wandel Channel!

[@T_B]

I have 2 things to say about your comment: 1) me either!! I didn't know there was such an animal. Very cool!!! 2) great nickname!

[@richardmineall5428]

must not watch Matthias wandel then

[@mwhyte1979]

Beautiful job on the planer as usual and glad to see that Avril is doing her job of assuring Quality Control.

*_There's just something magical about watching something that was so old and broken being restored back to looking so new. Its such a thing to watch. ❤_*

[@koen_bakker]

It is indeed a thing to watch

thats why i restore and i dont buy

Very nice find. Like the others i have Not seen a wooden planer before. Great restoration. You always deliver my friends 😊

[@Tim-57]

Hey Guys The outcome is beautiful and I really like the finish you gave the wood. As others have said, I was very surprised to see the body made of wood. Great to see you and Avril again. Take care of Yourselves

[@herrroy4963]

The simplicity of how the jointer is made is beautiful. Great restoration.

[@thomas7529]

Awesome video as always! The final frame with Avril posing beside the Planer is adorable, he’s quite regal!

[@yana1955]

Very fine workmanship. Nice to see Avril back.

[@horstszibulski19]

I really like the staining and waxing of the wood, way better than the blue paint! Looks more antique then before... Great job! 👍👍👍

Nicely done sir and it was nice to see Avril helping!

[@T-Bott]

Your team makes the absolute best restoration videos. Anywhere. Ever.

[@vbee3571]

When you thought it was beyond hope, what you needed was a craftsman with excellent skills. The wood is actually beautiful. Good job and a pleasure to watch.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Nicely done. At first, when you had Avril sitting next to it at the end, I didn't think you were going to demonstrate it. Glad you did, it seemed to work great. (And thanks for sharing Avril. I miss my orange kitties.)

[@thiggy1249]

Great restoration! I would have sworn that this was a shop-made jointer until I saw the AHOR tag. I found an advert from 1949 showing a line of AHOR woodworking tools of this type.

[@pjhalchemy]

Beautiful job on saving the wood and making it pop with the stain and wax. Interesting design and surprisingly effective. Did not see any way to adjust the depth of cut though, other than perhaps the blade depth with a mic or height gauge. Thanks always for sharing and restoring these wonderful old tools!

[@pauljames9738]

At 7:23, he indicates a "needed gap" between the infeed and outfeed tables. I think it is a fixed depth, which makes sense with this bare-bones rig.

[@samanthadean1083]

Awesome job!!! Glad to see Avril is being a big help!!! 😄 ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@theskyehiker]

What a gorgeous old tool/machine. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@wireworks616]

Great job. Never seen a wooden jointer before.

[@a.p.369]

Good job, nice piece of history. Store it in a museum. I wouldn't use it every day in my shop.

[@TheLoxxxton]

Always a pleasure to see Avril enjoying the work ❤

[@thepagan5432]

Fantastic job, especially with the slight modifications you done with bearing supports and the steel plate supports. My only point is regarding the main wooden supports and the expansion and contraction due to changes in the humidity. As long as they move roughly the same the effect should be minimal. A really good restoration, and pleased that Avril looks as pretty as ever. Thanks for posting.👍

[@WasLostButNowAmFound]

The wood must be like 70 years old, the humidity in the wood must be relatively stable.

[@thepagan5432]

@@WasLostButNowAmFound Seasoned wood is often classified as such with between 6% - 8% moisture content, when furniture building. This often depends on what type of wood it is. I've seen old wood in furniture crack because the home was too dry. Many differing factors will affect the wood. Don't forget part of this fantastic job included new wood for the bearing retaining brackets and the supports under the steel plates. Hopefully the planer will be kept in a favourable condition. You comment is valid, let's just hope mine does not come to fruition.

What a beautiful piece of woodworking history! Thank you for restoring it so carefully, and with sensitivity...I just love the outcome! And so does the quality inspector by the looks of it 😄 Great video👍👍👍

[@LadyLeigh]

Love that great restoration. Wood stain looks much better than the blue paint too.

[@puirYorick]

Nice work, as usual. It looks better now without the commercial blue paint job IMO.

Stain gives it a nice classic look. Great job!❤

[@Willpower-74205]

There's something heartwarming about watching antique tools and machines being restored and used well beyond their original lifespan. There's nothing plain about THIS planer! 😁👍

[@TCAPChrisHandsome]

Yes, nothing's plain about that planer, because it's a joiner haha

[@Willpower-74205]

@@TCAPChrisHandsome 😁👍

[@H3xx99]

That is a gorgeous planer... I want to build one now...

[@TCAPChrisHandsome]

I'd imagine if you built a joiner like the one he rebuilt in the video, it would be lightweight, and you could probably use the motor for multiple tools. Like if you built a drill press, a planer, a table saw, a lathe, and just move the motor from one to the next. That would be an awesome setup, and all your tools would be lightweight and easy to move around.

[@enricogrizzlerpavan]

Rimango a bocca aperta a ogni restauro 🔝💪💪💪🫶 Grazie

[@77talton]

Fun fact that’s called a jointer, it’s different then the planing machine. The point of this machine is to create 2 flat surfaces at a 90 degree angle and then you can use those flat surfaces to run them through the planer to get a perfectly square, parallel, and flat piece of lumber.

[@restorerestoration4705]

Nicely done sir and it was nice to see Avril helping..

[@domeatown]

Thank you, once again, for the cat tax, Avril. The stretch at the end was a really nice touch, a real performer's flourish. There's a lot about this planer that is really special. It's wooden, planes from the bottom rather than the top, has many parts that can be adjusted individually to ensure the planer is level. Which I suppose would be necessary for a wooden planer, as wood does warp over time lmao. probably why you don't see many of them around. but this one accounted for that, which really is interesting. would be interesting to know the history of this planer

[@TCAPChrisHandsome]

The only parts of a joiner that have to be perfect are the infeed and outfeed tables. The outfeed is slightly higher to compensate for what the blade cuts off, and the guide on the back doesn't have to be perfectly straight, because all that's important is the face of the board that's on the tables and blade. A planer has to have a flat face to ride on, and makes the top flat in reference to the bottom. A joiner just makes a flat face. Planers are easier to use and less dangerous, but they can't make a board flat unless the other side is flat.

[@ryanivester5042]

@@TCAPChrisHandsome this looks like a wooden jointer to me and not a planer.

[@TCAPChrisHandsome]

@@ryanivester5042 It is, and they can save the day if you're doing cabinetry or furniture work. If you got a crown in a board, and you gotta make the edge meet another surface, it will cause gaps and cracks if you don't run it across the joiner first, and get that crown out of the board.

[@ryanivester5042]

A jointer is a must. Before you use lumber 1 face and one edge need to be run over it to make them flat and 90 degrees. Then you use a planer and table saw to make the other 2 faces flat and parallel to the other sides. You can do this without a jointer but its a real pain and no worth it imho. I work with mostly rough lumber and have processed 100's of board feet. I dont build furniture, but I do cutting boards and other items where the faces need to be as perfect as possible. @@TCAPChrisHandsome

[@matthewdimmick2503]

Never seen a wooden planer before, kind of a trip. Neat little unit.

[@zekecorder8226]

Like others here, I've never seen nor heard of a wood-framed jointer. Unique. Nice job.

[@mangamaniaciam]

I have no idea whom originally made this tool, yet I HAVE to say that you've restored this to a better life than what it had before!! I truly hope this serves you very well in the ensuing decades to come!😁

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

The wood grain you brought out with the stain is beautiful.

[@Apevian]

It warmed my heart to see new life put into that old planer. A great video and terrific supervision from Avril. Great job, or as some may say, bon boulot!

[@xxPenjoxx]

Wow, what an incredible difference. Thank you for always showing us amazing pieces of equipment 👍

[@heathermacmillan962]

Love it when you use the machines at the end...especially with something as unusual (and, I'm guessing, rare) as this. It means you don't have to wonder how it is used 😊❤

Absolutely awesome craftsmanship my guy. Love the detail and outcome

[@maggs131]

[@georgebrown8312]

Marvelous job you did restoring that wooden planer. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.

I must say your supurrvisor is doing his/her job very well....and seems to approve of the project! 😸

I applaud your decision to sand and stain the wood, and your choice of stain.

[@maggiemix7424]

LIKE THE NOTE BELOW ME mY HUSBAND AND i HAD A WOOD WORKING SHOP WITH PLANNERS (big planners), MY HUSBAND RESTORED THEM AND THEY WERE FROM THE 1800'S. WE NEVER CAME ACROSS A WOOD ONE BEFORE. NEAT! THANKS FOR SAVING THIS ONE.!

[@Cabeza492]

Beautiful work. You forgot a very nice detail: a label saying "Restored by LADB" and the date of restoration was made. A big hug from la Patagonia!

[@РоманКулиничев]

The restoration is great, but the cat is absolutely AWESOME!!!

[@kenziebender998]

Out of curiosity, when you work on old projects like this, is it common practice to do lead tests before you start stripping and sanding?

[@aminsaid4379]

Pretty sure u American🤭

[@TCAPChrisHandsome]

Lead's only a threat if you swallow it or breathe it in, and small doses aren't deadly, it's only a threat if you are ingesting it frequently, and if you're stripping it off with paint thinner, you get the vast majority of it off with no risk. When you sand it after you've stripped it off, there's very little that will actually be airborne. Also lead has a sweet taste, so if you decide to take a chip off and chew it, and you taste something like an artificial sweetener, it's lead based. I don't advise testing this way, but it does work in a pinch.

[@RJ-zm3tr]

It's a jointer to be precise, but beautiful work!
