1879 Compass Plane [Restoration]

This restoration is on a Type 1 Stanley No. 113 compass plane patented in 1879. You can view the original patent documents here:patents.google.com/patent/US2...
The Type 1 planes of the No. 113 were made from 1877-1880 and allowed users to plane curved wooden surfaces.
This specific plane was sent to me by a viewer.
I wanted to restore this plane as close to original as possible so I opted to japan the main body and nickel-plate the knobs. Unfortunately, you must drill out a specific pin located under the sole adjustment knob in order to fully remove it from the body of the plane. Other than that one pin, everything else was de-rusted and cleaned for reassembly.
With the blade sharpened, it preformed very well and was a lot of fun to use.
I really miss restoring hand planes as that is what got me so hooked on doing restorations in the first place.

I thought I should slow it down for this hand plane restoration. I haven't done one in so long and I miss it! Hand planes are the reason I got hooked on restorations in the first place. Enjoy!

@terrynicholls2975 2 жыл бұрын

Very nicely done. Never seen one of these before. I have a radius plane that my father, a patternmaker, made as an apprentice about eighty years ago, but it is a single handle with a set of interchangeable fixed-radius cutting beds and matching blades. I love these tools that embody so much of the craftsmanship of old that is slowly disappearing from the world. Thanks for giving them the respect that they deserve.

@Dr_V 2 жыл бұрын

Wow, a hand made 80 years old radius planer set, what a nice heirloom. Simple or not that's a far more precise tool than the adjustable planer restored by HTR and also quite valuable, you should take good care of it.

@terrynicholls2975 2 жыл бұрын

@@Dr_V I was able to bring to Canada quite a few of my father’s specialty tools-chisels, gouges, measuring tools-after my last visit a few years ago. They had been left in a sorry state after he retired and stopped using them, and I wanted to restore and use them myself rather than let them sit and rot. My father passed away a week before this Christmas at the age of 97, and I am so glad I have something so filled with the spirit of his working life to keep me connected to him now that he has gone. I have no relatives who would appreciate them either for their inherent worth, or for their sentimental value, so when I pass I intend to leave them to a collector or a museum if I can.

These planes are still very much in use today. When you need to flatten a concave or convex surface, no other tool does it better. Somethings just can't be improved!
