Thousands of years from now when they dig up Eoin, he'll be perfectly preserved in linseed oil and wd-40!

So lovely to watch an artisan at work. Inspires me to have a look at my great grandfather's home made planes.

Best white holiday jumper and cleaning/sharpening filthy blade! Naughty.

Eoin- I raise a glass in your direction, Sir. Thank You for the education and entertainment this past year. Long may it continue

Quick one, I could be completely wrong on this 😅. I didn’t see if you oiled the sole of the plane, but if you did do you not need to check if it stayed flat. I just know from my work that oil and water raise grain and thought even a slight change could make the sole not completely flat. Obviously if it planes well it doesn’t really matter but just food for thought 😊 and Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you lad!

Thanks for up uploading and teaching us how to continue history. Just used your videos to fix up some coffin smoothers for my brother so he can start his tool collection. They aren't as good as you can get them but for someone like me who has no idea they're great

Very nice, quick restoration. I feel a lot of folks make these restores waaaay to complicated. Clean it up, flatten the sole, sharpen iron, start planing. Love it.

Just found your channel while watching random woodworking videos. Loving your content, thank you for taking the time to make videos like this.

Inspired me to restore my grandad's old number four. I have a wooden plane of some sort to restore as well. Thanks for putting out quality content like this!

You are do much fun and inspirational to listen to and watch!

So satisfying. Very asmr to me hearing that beautiful plane do it's thing with such precision. Makes this old luthier's heart sing.

Just love listening to you and your workmanship

The sound of a well-tuned plane in action is a beautiful thing.

Always showing off such great work, keep it up!

This makes me want to do this for a living. I love to watch your videos or listen to them while im doing homework. Love the content.

Young man you are a delight God's blessing upon you and yours .

Good video and I enjoyed the restoration process!

I've recently come across so many old tools that my friends told me to just burn 😅 I've restored a spinning wheel abd now a wooden jack thingy because I came across your videos and i knew it was possible! Thank you ❤

Its awesome you preserve any initials or marks from its history

Hi Eoin,been in construction all my working life and have an obsession with vintage tools and equipment! Your enthusiasm is admirable, love your videos keep up the good work pal! BILLY.

I think I understand that 'asmr' stuff now, lol. The sound of the plane on the wood sounded satisfying somehow.

Nice channel! Love to here you talk - I’ve got many friends up Mallow and Nad way. Lovely land and beautiful people!

I picked up an old plane about a year ago. It's a craftsman but I have been seeing a lot of very old planes appearing at local thrift stores, garage sales and the local habitat for humanity restore. I restored the old craftsman plane. Now I need to sharpen the blade and test it out. Watching your channel has caused me to want to get into hand-made woodworking. I am really interested in the lathe you made with the string and pedal. I want to create one at my home and learn to use it.

Wow. A huge thanks for this video. Picked up an (almost) identical plane at a market in Lincoln for £10. Had no clue how to do a refurb - watched this video and now it works like a dream. Not sure how old it is but it says ‘Best English Hand Made’ on the top. Thanks again.

Had a question about this on a livestream a while back! Great to see this!

Oohhh! I'm about 90% sure I bougt exactly the same plane from an antique shopbin Prince Edward Island, (Canada) last summer. It really looks the same down to the shape of the handle and even the wooden wedge. Pretty cool!

Great video, when the workshop is finished I have one just like that one I want to get back into use as a small jointer, and a small coffin plane, Happy New Year Eoin and may all your shavings be with the grain

I've been watching your tiktoks for a couple months now, and I'm always slightly sad when I don't get to see parts of the process in action. I should have checked your youtube sooner, it's got all the things I was missing. Such a great time watching this happen.

Suggestion about the metal parts:Boil them on a pot for an hour, then scrub them dry with 0000 steel wool, then add WD40. This restored and preserves any blued finish on them. On the other hand, Linseed oil always goes sticky, for me.

I very much enjoy your videos! I just wanted to mention that boiled linseed oil can contain some nasty compounds and/or metals, so you might want to wear gloves or use a rag when applying it.

I very much prefer the long form videos like this one over your shorts and tik-toks!! it gives me something to watch for a good while!!

"stops her from running out the gate and terrorizing the local children" 🤣🤣 4:10

You found it (linseed bottle)! Thanks for the great content 🧡🤠

I recently purchased several wooden planes i am hoping to get them running that good.

I've learnt alot more by watching your videos than I did at school mate

Love your videos.

I just found you with your froe on some shorts, really love your work and your style.

Awesome video as usual

If you put a heavy camber on that blade and set the chip breaker far from the edge, you'll get a magnificent plane that is super efficient at removing a lot of wood quickly, great for the first stages of stock prep

You should make a wooden plane like that

Hi mate great videos, to adjust the depth of cut on the timber plane tap top of the the plane near the front this lowers the blade. The button on the front of the other plane is there to tap this saves the timber and back of the blade see what you think. I joy your videos.

Love it

Hi boss, great work but be wide of that linseed oil, that version has metallic drying agents in it and it can cause problem drying into your skin. Please wear gloves.

Lovely video mate, might be a shout to take a bit off the width of the iron and cap with a grinder and a shaving off the wedge for a little easier adjustment and weatherproofing!! Nadolig llawen from Wales!

Top Job

Eoin you've really got to ease the cheeks on this one. It has pretty much lost the lateral adjustment, but there's something even worser that that. Seasonally planes shrink and expand, so in the winter the body can shrink too much and iron will blow out sides where cheeks join the bed and it might take out the eyes. The repair isn't pretty and I've seen too many planes like this. Alternative is to grind the iron a little bit, but without a belt sander I would just pare the cheeks a wee little bit.

I just did my grandpas old jack plane!!!

Shops are in today eoin! Get in there and grab a handful of sanding papers!

Well lad your savage idk if you’ll see this but if you do I hope you had a good Christmas lad

What brand diamond stone are you using? Or where do i find one? I thought you said it was 30 quid on ebay but I can't find a double sided one in that size, only little tiny ones. Would really appreciate a clue. It's exactly what i need at the moment as im restoring a lot of old tools. Cheers and happy new year to you!

Id love to see you resole one or make a wooden plabe from stratcg

With the issue of the initials, after you've done with sanding them, can't you just carve them in a bit deeper so they are still visible?

Can you do a video on making wedges for wooden jack planes?

Eoin has Jack plane rules

Hey mate, quick question: What is your rig to measure the edge angle? Saw it in the video, but couldn’t figure out what it was… thanks!! Great content!!

Dammit Boy i wished I had your youth when I was a union carpenter st Louis area I carried a box of tools plumb bobs saws planes nail diggers n flat bars prolly weights 75 # in all string lines n torpedo levels and tape measures 100 ft down mist guys would ask if they could enter my box for a chisel or beater big hammer was glad that they ask first but sum scribe s n squares were passed down from my grand father's side and I wished I'd left them at home my Dad always said your only as good as the tools in your hands n ever borrow the same tools twice if you need it go buy it 4 the rest of your life

👍👍👍

I recently learnt that the jack plane with the recessed section cut out was referred to in those days as a technical jack plane.

Donkeys years? I am 🇺🇸 what time frame is that handsome lad?

Can you make more projects that we can make at home

He needs to make more videos full length

Can you do a video of making screwdriver handles

Ah yes the boiled linseed has returned to us.

Lineseed Oil to the rescue!! FUCK YEA

Do you have a leather top on your workbench?

You'd think the grain on the sole would go toe to heel. That way the plane would always be planing with its own grain.

Do you have to have a chip breaker?

They measure in inches in Ireland?

You've planed a plane, now I've seen it all lol.

New subscriber. Had to Google how to pronounce your name. Who knew? My name is Owl. It's actually AL, but a little tyke years ago couldn't say AL, instead, called me owl. It stuck.

I wouldn't use wd-40 as a lubricant because it is made to displace water. It can work but a proper lubricant would be better for the stones

I only plane and leave the rest the plane works fine after the sole is flat I like my planes looking old

Is that “boiled linseed oil”?

Have you ever heard of the woodwrights shop it's a show

ah yes, the elusive linseed oil

Not the point of the video in any way but I love that sweater

Hand tools are very quiet compared to power tools. I'd rather use hand tools because it is so much quieter and in a way faster

When I quit smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee, I was able to quit biting my nails. It's a chain reaction of anxiety.

he used the plane to restore the plane.

I got a Stanley number five Jack playing for Christmas I can’t get it to take shavings I got a number four as well I just can’t get the number five to take any shavings I’ve never used a jack plane before End it is clogs up with pieces of wood between a cheap breaker in the iron

I used the plane to restore the plane.

Why do you use sand paper made for palm sanders

I’m the 100th comment

Thanks to you, I've started shopping for planes. Hand planes, ofcourse. I'm no pilot. Even vintage hand planes are 300 dollars in my area. Absolutely ridiculous.

Remember my friend were not all Lads, ☺️
