Quick one, I could be completely wrong on this 😅. I didn’t see if you oiled the sole of the plane, but if you did do you not need to check if it stayed flat. I just know from my work that oil and water raise grain and thought even a slight change could make the sole not completely flat. Obviously if it planes well it doesn’t really matter but just food for thought 😊 and Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you lad!

Wow. A huge thanks for this video. Picked up an (almost) identical plane at a market in Lincoln for £10. Had no clue how to do a refurb - watched this video and now it works like a dream. Not sure how old it is but it says ‘Best English Hand Made’ on the top. Thanks again.

I picked up an old plane about a year ago. It's a craftsman but I have been seeing a lot of very old planes appearing at local thrift stores, garage sales and the local habitat for humanity restore. I restored the old craftsman plane. Now I need to sharpen the blade and test it out. Watching your channel has caused me to want to get into hand-made woodworking. I am really interested in the lathe you made with the string and pedal. I want to create one at my home and learn to use it.

Very nice, i still use a wooden jointer, it looks like a fence post offcut, but its as smooth as silk and keeps a loely edge, been looking for a few more nice examples to use, nothing feels as smooth asa wooden plane, they are just a bit of a faff to adjust and fettle so its worth getting a decent one. Older jack planes with big worn wide mouths make great scrub planes too.

Suggestion about the metal parts:Boil them on a pot for an hour, then scrub them dry with 0000 steel wool, then add WD40. This restored and preserves any blued finish on them. On the other hand, Linseed oil always goes sticky, for me.

Eoin you've really got to ease the cheeks on this one. It has pretty much lost the lateral adjustment, but there's something even worser that that. Seasonally planes shrink and expand, so in the winter the body can shrink too much and iron will blow out sides where cheeks join the bed and it might take out the eyes. The repair isn't pretty and I've seen too many planes like this. Alternative is to grind the iron a little bit, but without a belt sander I would just pare the cheeks a wee little bit.

I got a Stanley number five Jack playing for Christmas I can’t get it to take shavings I got a number four as well I just can’t get the number five to take any shavings I’ve never used a jack plane before End it is clogs up with pieces of wood between a cheap breaker in the iron
@1pcfred

You need to lap the end of the chipbreaker so it beds on the iron. Just take it a bit below the hone stone and flatten it good. Put the breaker together on the iron and look closely for light between the two. If you see any light keep at it until you don't. the top of the breaker needs to be polished too. Make it one with the iron.
