Shop Tour 2: Return of Garbage on the Floor

I've been in the new workshop for around a year. Come and see how I ruined it. If you want to see and hear more you can follow me on Instagram: handtoolrescue

[@Mr.Donahue]

I see how it is. Hand tool rescue is single handedly controlling the price of antique hand planes.

Muahahaha

Nothing quite like a gentleman inviting you into a shed to show you his junk.

You wont have to light the Bench of Benches on fire, it will at some point reach ignition on its own...

[@padraigadhastair4783]

Do not take this the wrong way but your videos relax me. Watching you is almost like meditating. I completely zone out, I love it. Keep up the great work. Cheers mate.

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Bro, you are upholding the man law of horizontal surfaces exceptionally well. I thought I was good but you have figured out how to use every square inch and even starting second levels. Perfect Enjoyed the vid, Lee

[@juanpindonga405]

The kind of guy wich drop a massive jointer in a corner an then say "well maybe i´ll sell it" while mentally accounts how many dozens of hand planers he have is also my guy

As long as they have a banana phone ofc.

That’s a Druzhba (“Friendship”) soviet chainsaw. I haven’t seen those since my childhood, when our dacha neighbor, who was a permanent resident in that village, bought whole logs that needed breaking down for winter heating. So cool you’ve got one, I’m looking forward to seeing the vid.

[@jaecenwhite2590]

I feel like not enough people have reacted to the fact that the Soviets named a chainsaw “friendship”...

[@bmedicky]

@@jaecenwhite2590 When you're the one holding such a chainsaw, everyone you come across will be on their best behaviour. Instant friendship!

[@calinguga]

fun fact: during the communist regime in romania we almost exclusively used imported russian chainsaws (among many other russian products), so much so that to this day the most common name for chainsaw is "drujba".

[@verannlum]

"Feel the sensuality", on top of the aggressive eyebrow maneuvers!!! I am here for all of it!!! 😜❤❤

[@diymatt]

Back when I first started "making" I built a dining room table out of 4x4's like you did. Mine is 10' x 4'. I regret the shit out of it because it must weigh 600pds. Getting it in the house is a 30 minute story involving a slight deconstruction of the front porch. Getting it out might very well involve a circular saw. People love it I must admit.

[@HandToolRescue]

Exactly! If someone tries to move my bench, they will die.

[@dsloop3907]

I helped remove a desk using a sawzall.

[@TASTYTREATSPLS]

This is the greatest content I didn't know I needed. "Look at it!!!" I died.

[@rjkejk57]

Eric: I just love your dry humor, there is not enough of it on the various channels, although I find that Brian & Adam have a light touch in their way of expressing the projects that they are working on. Keep up the great projects, there fun to watch as well as interesting.

[@Just1GuyMetalworks]

Great shop tour 🙂. I was pretty blown away when I saw that metal planer. I didn't know they were made in home shop size 😃! Super cool, made my day, thanks 😎.

[@lawnmowerdude]

Just remember, the difference between a hoarder and a collector is the display. You look good to go. 👍

[@HandToolRescue]

Haha exactly.

[@markgoddard2560]

You soothed me with your dulcet tones for free! I am honoured, humbled to be shown around your shed and to enjoy such wonderful garbage, eccentricities, a very valuable plane which you don’t know you have otherwise it would be wrapped in wool and under your bed, and other glories to behold. Thank you for your soothing!

[@randynovick7972]

Fascinating. I'm getting a few takeaways, here: 1) you are short a few hand planes and need more of them, and 2) the bench of wondrous awesomeness seems like you could attach a drip-cup to the side and use it to collect and harvest rare and exotic lubricants, and 3) the shop is actually way more organized than it was the last time I saw it. Very impressive and thanks for the tour. Happy New Year!

[@jam2190]

Love the smile the lights and the planes make!

[@mountaincruiser817]

“I just don't understand why it doesn't have any rust on it”. “O man my hands are greasy ( after touching the thing like a fine woman).

[@Fearmocker]

So what happened to you? Well doc, I tripped and fell and hit the shelf and a chainsaw fell on my head. But then three more chainsaws fell on my head. But that wasn’t the worst of it. The worst part was when the other six chainsaws fell on my head. So yeah.

[@HandToolRescue]

Hahaha

[@MrBruce-np9rj]

Could become a reality when that power hammer fires up....

[@johnburnitin1027]

I love it! A man after my own heart. Apparently, like me, you plan to live to be 500 years old. It will take us that long to do everything we have sitting in front of us and still, we gather more projects. A guy can never have too much to get done!

[@WoodByWright]

Looking forward to hanging out there!

[@sheep1ewe]

And Your drawer with assorted lenghts of wire... Loooks like an awsome place! Totaly love it! ha ha

[@jamesmandl9302]

My step-father had that same addiction with hand planes when I was growing up. The restored ones were hung all over the house and the rest took over a second two-car garage at the ranch house. There was no limit when he found them, he bought.

[@GeneSimonalle]

Not sure if the paint/WD40 wall of explosives is more dangerous that the Bench of Flammable Benchiness. Either way, stay safe my friend.

@@HandToolRescue Shit man, spray paint, thinners, aerosol lubricants, and gas cans on the wall... i had to stop the vid right there. Imma a big fan of yours, and as your audience we consider ourselves peeps, but you have to straighten that out. Insurance, my ass, you'll lose the whole place and very well may injure or kill someone, and when the Fire Marshall gets thru with sifting the ashes, the liability will be 100% yours. Get yourself a fireproof paint locker, _like yesterday_ They start at around 500$ bucks for what you need. Hell, Im sure if you dig around you might unearth one to restore. Just looking out for my bro

[@alanletterman]

You can never have too many Stanley planes. When the collection takes more than four shelves, it is close to the proper size. Commenting for a friend.

[@rotaholik89]

Your mannerisms and hand gestures are almost exactly like Peter draws. You both crack me up just explaining the simplest thing!!! Love your work

I absolutely love my little wrench (you made). I use it more than any other at this point.

[@davidsmyth5770]

In looking at your collection, I miss my father-in-laws garage more than ever. He was a machinist that never threw a big tool away. Real big stuff. One day it would be in the middle of a 2 car garage being used and the next day, off into a corner. He rolled them all on pipes. I have my great grandfathers hand made carpenter tool box with his tools. Many, I want to restore and have watched and learned from you the best ways to do them. Some will be displayed as is. The patina is great and too nice to remove. Thanks for great video's. MSgt David R. Smyth, USAF, Ret.

[@bysonderby]

Total awesomeness!! Thanks for the tour and Happy New Year!

[@notxarb21]

It's nice to finally have a "talkie" after all of the silent films you've made... lol! Seriously, you produce my favorite restoration channel on KZbin, and I look forward to each of your videos (I even go back and re-watch "oldies but goodies"!) Thank you for the update on the shop, and I don't think your handplane/chainsaw collections are obsessive at all (says the guy with over 400 flashlights!) Happy New Year!

[@CorndogBrownie]

My man, garbage on the floor, still killin it. Keep up the fantastic acting work

Very informative, and the dry humor is great. Found myself chuckling at quite a few segments.

[@douglasmason4761]

16:23 Looks like my wife's shoe collection, if planes were shoes (or vice-versa). Love your work, HTR. Looking forward to more sandblaster appearances (as well as various HTR-to-sandblaster mating techniques).

[@machobunny1]

I remember early videos when that bench lacked the "patina". Now...it is perfect. Never have to worry about ANYTHING you spill, dump or overspray on it. It's not explosive, yet...so just keep adding patina. And THANKS for this. I have the space, many of the tools, and all of the skills to dive into restoration as a hobby, and I am retired. You may be the guy who inspires me to get off my butt, stop watching videos, and start making them. Happy New Year.

[@manlyminnesotan]

That was awesome! Thanks for the tour of your "personal" space! Love the videos and can't wait to see what you have in store for us in the new year! Cheers to you!

[@darkabz2346]

you really taking us for a ride through all your addictions and things you obsess over....its great!

[@RestoreIt]

I hate my sandblasting cabinet with a passion. Either directly into the cabinet gun or through the pot blasting gun, it a guaranteed nightmare of a time. Thanks for the tour dude.

[@HandToolRescue]

No problem Steve! I should just drop everything is the strongest acid I can find.

[@marcusmues]

man, I've just started watching your videos - everything you do is fantastic. your gateway drug into this stuff was hand planes, and mine has definitely been hand drills. my collection of drills is tiny compared to your plane collection, but it's growing! those boxed Stanley drills made my mouth water, not to mention that gun grip drill you restored! I'm nowhere near your level of talent - most complicated thing I've restored is a mortise lock and the corresponding door hardware. but I feel less crazy about how I went about it after watching your stuff. and now I feel like I can confidently start properly fixing up my drills. I'm sad I didn't find your channel sooner, but I'm extremely happy to be here now!

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

Very nice. I built a similar thing.... The super heavy workbench. Instead of 4x4's, I did 2x4's the tall way, and glued, screwed, clamped, bolted the whole top together..... I actually love it. It's a great feeling to have something so freaking solid sitting there....

[@awizardalso]

You're not alone with having so much stuff around. I have two workshops in my basement. One is for fabricating things from metal for my motorcycle and making things from wood. The other is for doing electrical and electronic repair work. Mostly now I can only repair older vintage things, like old stereos, CB radios and about anything else that's old. All this new electronic stuff is out of my league. I do have piles of stuff that makes my basement like a junkyard. The only good thing is I can find parts for older electrical and electronic devices that I can't find anywhere else.

I have asked him if some day he will open a tool museum but for him, that is far into the future. I both appreciate and enjoy your work and the sense of educating you bring with it. Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year!

[@Thorsaxe777]

Clutter and disorganization is what my shop looks like, there is always that thing that needs something or you are going to finnish it in a few days. I believe that it is a healthy thing to (Not be so clean and tighty) when it comes to shop work, the work becomes cleaning the space all the time and not so much work gets done, you get into this "Can't stop right now" frame of mind and that is what we all go through,, So in conclusion. never feel bad about having some unfinished projects, it shows that you are Human and a craftsman at heart. Peace out dude. Dave

[@bunberrier]

This falls under what I call "maintaining the maintenence". It means taking care of yourself as the most valuable tool in the shop, then secondly taking care of the shop. Instead of restoring things in your shop, restore your shop. Sort of like putting on your own oxygen mask in an aircraft before assisting others. That hammer thing looks awesome.

[@jasonsocquet8555]

After talking myself out of a few more handplanes on Kijiji, I see this video.. brought me great satisfaction and sort of permission to plane hunting again!! Damn addiction !!! I had been longing to see that plane till in all of its glory! :D
