A little look at the most complex plane that Stanley ever made. The 55, also known as the king of planes.

Thank you for doing that. Showing the 55's uses hopefully promotes their use and stops the grandkids throwing them in the skip. Many talk of how difficult it is to set up a 55. I don't understand that view, but I would point out that it is critical to set the fences and scates parallel to the primary scate. I use a fine 150mm ruler and a magnifier headset.

Sometimes it is faster to set up a 55 than it is to set up an electric router. Even ensuring parallel skates and fences 😉

That 55 is in excellent condition……did you restore it? I have an old 55 but can’t get the steel to look so clean😕……cheers!

Thanks. I gave it a bit of a clean up as it had some surface rust in places. Vinegar bath and a scrub with a wire brush mostly. I have another video that goes through a quick rejuvenation of falcon 8" plane (equiv. Stanley no 4) to give you an idea of the process.

What is the purpose of the set screw located at the extreme rear of thevmain body on the right side? Thanks.

There are 2 items that can get located there, one is a depth stop, and the other is a splitter.

This thing is like a dream that you can't believe you had after waking up. We should still make this at the same place, the same way. It's our heritage and made us what we were. If I had one I see already what I would make in the way of baseboards. Descending concaves parallel to the top in some wide beautiful old growth pine oil stained white. A thinned coat of shellac. I'm so tired of the Grecian ogee.)

I like the way you think. keep it simple and let the timber talk for itself. 😉

The straight blades, not a problem... the other's, a little problem. Basically sand paper and dowels of various diameters. 😉

I can't make out the whispered narration. Maybe add a clear voice with some bass. Otherwise it was fascinating.

sorry you’re having trouble. I’ve got quality lapel mikes, I have editing software that enables me to increase the volume, and I listen to it myself after publishing to check it all loaded ok. I have also compared it to other popular you tuber volumes. For me it is comparable. Thanks for the feedback though, it is appreciated.

Maybe it's my cheap Nokia phone's speaker. But it's nearly silent like a voice across a lake in the dark.I can tell someone is talking but can't make out one word of what it is. Inaudible whispering. I hear other KZbin videos pretty good. It varies.)

try a newer video like the Stanley 130 block plane. Is it better?

@@SomeKindOfView Much better. I can hear you on that vid. This one sounded like you were trying not to wake the wife.
