Stanley Hand Plane Restoration

I found this thing at a flee market for a great price. I've always wanted to restore a Stanley hand plane and this thing seemed like a good introductory plane since it's small and manageable.
Apologies to all the Japanning purists. I understand your concern with spray paint regardless of the fact that I'm using a pretty high quality "rattle can" product. If I do something else in the future that should be redone using Japanning, I certainly will.

Would love more captions describing the various liquid solutions used. Love your sense of humor (esp. on the restored auto jack).

[@theropesofrenovation9352]

I was laughing so hard at the "Japanning purists avert your eyes." lol Great job!

Somewhere Hand Tool Restoration is crying uncontrollably after he felt a disturbance in the Japanning Force...

[@theropesofrenovation9352]

@@StealthDonut1 I was thinking the same thing!

[@Ed70Nova427]

Yeah, I think he may have caught a little flack on that comment.

[@Austeration]

Nice work 👍 I liked how you did the decal, that turned out sweet. Great restoration.

[@MoldyStir-Fry]

Lack of japanning aside, it looks like a brand new tool! Great restoration!

[@parlainthtownie85]

Anti-slip matt, Plate-glass with Sandpaper - GENIUS! Love it. Way easier and versatile than getting expensive sanding bricks/blocks. I am going to use this technique.

[@ValentinaFaussone]

It‘s the so called scary sharp method. It’s more expensive in the (not even too much) long run than diamond plates, a lot messier. It has some unique advantages: a much bigger sanding surface and a virtually infinite grits choice. I use it when I clean vintage planes.

[@murphymmc]

Those 110's are a good starter plane to restore, then hang on the wall. I've done a few, even with a very sharp edge they're just okay. Good for rough cutting the cedar you tested it on. You'll enjoy the 220 models and better yet, the 60-1/2. Nice job on the 110. The Japanning purists can have the stuff, modern paints, coatings with their catalyzed finishes or even air cured epoxy's are great. Rattle cans are great. I use them rather than collect them so the 110 has little value to me. I actually like a wired wheeled finish with that semi shiny, grey iron look. I live in a fairly low humidity region so it works.

[@dirtyhairy8884]

Beautiful restoration, looks amazing! Nicely done!🤩👍👍

[@A2ZArtist]

Good 👍

[@jasonvandergriff7809]

Great job! I have that very same plane! Bought it at an antiques store last year, and just refurbished / restored it last month. I wish I could post a picture in the comment, so you can see what I've done with it. I reflattened amd polished the sides and sole, painted the inside with semi gloss rustoleum enamel, painted the adjustment wheel red, and refinished the forward knob. I didn't paint the palm cap, I ground it smooth with an Emory pad on the Dremel, and polished it to a mirror shine with a buffing pad on my bench grinder and some polishing compound. That took a lot of time! I also ground and smoothed the inside castings before painting. For the knob, I sanded it back down to raw wood (took forever!) and re-stained it Bombay mahogany, gave it a few coats of BLO, and sprayed lacquer. It turned out pretty nice! Unfortunately I wasn't able to save the sticker. I like how you reproduced the sticker, I'll have to try that!

[@Ed70Nova427]

Yeah man, when he blasted the sticker away I thought to myself, well it will look nice, but you know. The next thing you know he makes a new sticker and that made the restoration top of the top notch. Yours must look great with the palm cap polished. I can imagine that! It would be great to be able to post pictures here.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

I did a 110 a few months ago. I tried "spray chrome" on the top piece, can't say it looks any better than your hammertone. I like the decal, mine didn't have one when I got it.

[@A2ZArtist]

👍

[@petepeterson4540]

that sir works better than new out of the package Excellent Job! you did every thing that I would do to all my new planes and chisels.

[@sebastianf.3079]

Great restoration, well done! I like the way you kept the patina and did not go for a “brand new” finish.

[@frick566]

Eric from Hand Tool Rescue has a formula for spray on Japanning now..great resto!

[@AndreiIR000]

Very nice restoration and beautiful result. I admire the hard work put into it. I had this plane and I can say it was abismal low quality. Stanley produced these planes with mouths not being square to the sole, sides not square to the sole, mouth too large, adjustment is a pain (you need to carefully use a small hamer), lateral adjustment also done by hammer (incosistent results as compared to a screw adjuster) and so on...

[@waltjwinjo8689]

Perfect restoration, even planes very well. Hello from Canada

[@scharferschnitt1071]

hey, you actually did a pretty nice job with sharpening the blade. Only "mistake" was that there was some slag in the sand which probably rounded over the edge a tiny bit🤓

[@jamesalsup9135]

Excellent!

[@Tensquaremetreworkshop]

Just restored one of these. I was shocked at how out of square the side faces are - too much to mill square. Guess they were cheap in their day, and good enough...

[@williamglaser6577]

As my Jr High school shop teacher pounded into us, " Never set a plane down on the blade" always lay it down on it's side.

[@murphymmc]

Mythbuster: only if you set it down on a steel bench, the steel in the iron(blade) is harder than any wood you plane, setting it down on the sole is better than setting it down on it's side and risking the iron shifting away from parallel with the sole.

[@justinsane332]

that is more so students dont danage it, but its more dangerous, and can lead to its settings changing laterally. ALWAYS set ut blade down.

[@oneshotme]

It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!! Enjoyed the video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@StealthDonut1]

I have an honest question, and I feel ignorant for asking it but I sincerely do not know the answer. I have observed here and elsewhere (even at my local barbershop) where razor edges are rubbed against leather straps. I gather this further sharpens the edge somehow, but isn't it sharp enough with the sandpaper? I would figure that the leather, being organic substance in comparison to sand, would have minimal effect on an already sharpened edge...What am I misunderstanding?

[@evonnoneill8558]

The strop is to polish the edge which rmoves the micro imperfections.

[@terryrogers1025]

Very nice.

Nice job. What kind of paint did you use on the decal? I have some videos on my 110. I carry it in my truck and use it as my work plane. It's the perfect tool for a variety of tasks. I polished my lever cap to give it a faux nickel plated look (which was my original lever cap). Thanks again for taking the time to post.

You did it wrong, first you should take out the rust only after that you should have done painting, need more refined and good finishing, watch my mechanics

I guess you don’t know how to flatten a sole.
