Restoring antique moulding planes - Part 1/3
Рет қаралды 18,662
3 жыл бұрынIn this video, I show you how I clean both the wooden and metal parts of antique wooden moulding planes. My aim is bringing them back into working condition, which means they should not only look nice, but also perform well.
In the second part, I show different methods to re-shape the soles of moulding planes. Watch the second part here: • Restoring antique moul...
The third part is about the cutting irons: shaping and sharpening them is not that difficult if you know what to look for. Watch the third part here: • Restoring antique moul...

Thank you so much for the kind words! Unfortunately, I don't have time for the workshop right now at all, but l plan to make a video about making moulding plane irons from normal plane blades this fall.

When wire brushing do that in a baking tin or large cookie sheet pan. Then you can lay flat a scub with wire brush. Rinse in laundry tub or hose outside. Less mess and easier to brush whilethe cutters are laying flat. Just a suggetion!

For de-rusting use neat vinegar mixed with a good dose of table salt - that is very effective. Or better still buy some Deox-C by Bilt Hamber - that stuff is amazing.

Just subscribed. Enjoyed the video and look forward to more of your videos on molding planes. Your finds had notch near the front that I don't see that on wooden planes in New Jersey. I agreed that planes should be useable and not sitting on shelves as display pieces.

Thank you! The second part should be out in the next days. I think the notches are a typical feature of dutch planes. I live relatively close to the dutch border and buy a lot of antique tools over there.

I use a brass wire brush on a drill driver. You really need to get all of the rust removed. You make great videos! I hope you get time again to make more :^)

@@pjtfurniture I did indeed! And I shared them in the Rex Krueger patron community. If you ever get time or the need to make shavings again-or just talk about it-there is no better community. You just need to be a patron on Patreon. I'm quite honest (and not sponsored 😅), it's a positive and diverse place for absolute beginners and those with decades of experience. And it's way bigger than Rex Krueger himself. It's mostly community driven. Many of us interact daily on the forum and share both woodworking and life.

Check the wedges and irons are the original to the plane and not just a pair married together for a sale.
@pjtfurniture 3 жыл бұрын
Sometimes, the iron, wedge and plane body are marked with a number to keep them together during the manufacturing process. However, this is not always the case so it´s hard to know if the wedge and iron really are the original ones. But of course I check if all three pieces of a plane fit together well and, if not, I adjust or redo them. Like I said in the video, I´m not a collector, so I don´t care too much if every single piece is original. As long as the plane as a whole looks right and, more important, works well, I´m happy.

Great video! I recently moved to Germany and have been picking up woodworking. I have been wondering how to find flea markets so i can search for old woodworking tools to buy and refurbish for use, how do you find your flea markets to go to?
@pjtfurniture 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the positive feedback! There are several websites that list flea markets, for example meine-flohmarkt-termine.de. Hope you find some nice tools!

I just acquired a pair of moulding planes with the same carving in the toe, same indentation along the top for the front hand, and same shape to the wedge. Do you have any on-site on age, maker, or any other history?
@pjtfurniture Жыл бұрын
Those characteristics are typical for Dutch plane makers. One of the biggest company was Nooitgedagt, but other manufacturers like S. van Embden share these details as well as the crown stamp above their initials, too. This website www.holzwerken.de/museum/hersteller/nooitgedagt.phtml has some information about Nooitgedagt. It's in German, but a quick online translation should do the job.

Does Using a vinegar water solution work better than straight vinegar?
@pjtfurniture Жыл бұрын
Yes and no, depending from where you look. Chemically, straight vinegar removes the rust quicker than the dilution, but it is also more dangerous to work with (get a good splash in the eye and you know what I mean). Because I leave the irons over night in the bath anyway, it does not matter to me if the reaction is finished at 1am or at 6am, so I go with the safer and cheaper option of the diluted vinegar. Also, the dilution is not as aggressive against the intact metal as is straight vinegar.

Don't use acids to clean metal. Use bases, as they will dissolve the corrosion without pitting the metal.
@jaredbaker7230 Жыл бұрын
Use basic solutions to remove rust, as acidic solutions pit the metal and make it more likely rust will return. Specific rust removing formulas or even basic solutions from drain cleaner are a million times better than vinegar.

Thank you for that tip, I'll try it next time!
