[@alandykes2519]

Spot on ian fantastic job and thanks for the tip on the masking tape 👍👍👍👍

[@terryatkinson899]

Well done, love old tools because they were built to last and probably treasured by their owner who used them to make a living.

[@americasfavoritehoarder]

It just needed a little love. Good job!

[@BrutusMetalArt]

[@BAGOTCORNER]

That’s an awesome result !! Great work buddy

[@thescrapmeister]

Great job Ian. Looks great and works good too!

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

Great job Ian! 👏 I agree with the choice of satin black rather than gloss! 👍😊

[@HueyLionsheart]

Beautiful Job Ian! You took that challenge and ran with it buddy.👍😁

[@TheWolvo1]

Nice job ian and I'm sure your father inlaw would of been pleased with the end result.

[@CruiserMac]

Nice, that old tool lives again to plane another day !

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

Hi Ian. Your “elbow grease” worked wonders. Excellent, sympathetic restoration. A tool to treasure. Well done. 👏👏👍😀 Andrew PS. For future reference, add salt to the white vinegar. It aids the rust removal.

[@Man-in-da-shed]

Didn’t. Know that trick, an experiment in the offing .

Beautiful job Ian, well done! If I was Cathy, and knowing you and wood don't get on that well, I would want that as an ornament, maybe in a "Memory Corner" or something like that. I think I'd have cried if you'd presented me with something of my dad's that you had lovingly restored like that. No disrespect but if you keep it in the shed it'll probably fester for years and get all gunked up again. Take care, Poo

[@Man-in-da-shed]

Cathy was quite pleased at the restoration, I think a wooden box is on the agenda

[@kevinsturgess1475]

That came up real nice Ian. Put your paint can in warm water and the items you are going to paint in the oven,makes the paint finish really good and dries faster. Thought Stanley was an English brand,I don't know why.

[@Man-in-da-shed]

Not shown but I did heat the the plane up to warm with a blowtorch

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Nicely done, Ian.

[@Man-in-da-shed]

Thank you George.

[@MrFactotum]

Plane Sailing Ian👍👍👍

[@paulf2529]

You made a fine job of that Ian

[@zartan7779]

Amazing work wow

[@rogerrug2501]

Fantastic job Ian. re it being from the US, thousands of tons of machinery and tools were shipped over here once Churchill signed the Lease Lend act. May have been used to build Mosquito's! I had a South Bend Lathe that came over like that, was 'lent to a company, and they never asked for it back! Great vid, take care

[@scrapnsalvage]

Nice one Ian, thought you would of gone for the cobblers shoe "whatsits" as your restoration but you chose well...an easy 1st place lol

[@Man-in-da-shed]

The anvil & lasts will one day be “restored”

[@jonsworkshop]

Great Job Ian, sympathetic restoration but not afraid to use it as a tool to prove it. So many restored things never get used for their original intended purpose post the work, well done. As for the masking tape tip, who do you know that is sick to death of painting stuff orange lol, lol. Cheers, Jon

[@terryatkinson899]

Masking tape comes in low,med and high tack, sometimes you don't want it to be too sticky so low tack will do. I worked in the printing business and masking tape was a pain to remove if the wrong type was used.

[@all_handmade]

Fantastic looking plane my Friend, I cant believe you did that.... I really really like what you made out of this rusty "Piece of Metal" Really proud of you Mate

[@Man-in-da-shed]

Thanks buddy

[@konstantinsirotkin3430]

Great job! Nice to know I'm not the only one who hates the original glossy black. All my restored planes are satin black too :) I'm surprised you didn't use primer, though. Acrylic primer followed by alkyde enamel works wonders!

[@Man-in-da-shed]

ahh Konstantin, i had 8 weeks to do this group challenge, and i left it to 5 hours before the deadline, so I had to cut some corners, i have some nice Japlac enamel, but it takes hours to dry, thanks for the comment

[@konstantinsirotkin3430]

@@Man-in-da-shed Does it fully harden in 5 hours? Because all paints I've used are not tacky after several hours but take weeks to fully cure.

[@Man-in-da-shed]

@@konstantinsirotkin3430 this paint is still tacky after 24 hrs , google japanning.

[@Nas_Atlas]

I miss the old tools and the old ways. There's never enough time or space to do it that way any more sadly.

[@twistedhillbilly6157]

Thanks, I wanted to see if the lever pin came out easily.. I sand blast and powder coat them when I restore.. #78 tomorrow...

[@JimmyCandFriends]

Well Done Sir

[@Man-in-da-shed]

Thanks jimmy

[@darrentaff8374]

You've been busy Ian I'm just catching up with your video . It's also known as a hair 🐰 plain . Or a rabbit plain over the pond 😂

[@rileyforrest5572]

Anyone else watching this for the linguistics alone? :)

[@intelligenttinkering]

Have you ever thought about cleaning up your shop? 😊

[@Man-in-da-shed]

Daily

[@iffy9776]

You should have left it in coke cola over some hrs. I think vinegar is similar.

[@Man-in-da-shed]

If I hadn’t have left the challenge to 5 hrs before the deadline, I would have

[@grahamheath3799]

Nice job in cleaning it up. Not sure that removing casting marks no longer sympathetic restoration. The video, as you summed it up a bit tedious. Lol.

[@Man-in-da-shed]

A group challenge so had some artistic license

[@zartan7779]

Ian put your stones away lol

[@Man-in-da-shed]

😂

[@OORAH659]

I would like to send you a photo of a vintage metal rabbit plane with no identifcation as to who made it, and most interesting the blade which came with it is shapened like a knife. Please help us ID it: ... OORAH!!

[@Man-in-da-shed]

My email is on my about info.
