I miss this man. Great channel. Hope all good with him.

Great Plane I am only missing stanley 51/2...and an 8 in my collection keep posting the vids I enjoy every bit of the restorations

I have the same 51/2 add this it's an amazing plane tight mouth and very easy to use one of my favorite planes!!!

Thank you for the excellent video!

I picked up a no 5 1/2 last year ,it didn't need much work to restore but it as plastic wood effect tote and knob sets so I'll be looking out for some rosewood . I got it for £20 UK !

Great job.

New to the channel. Got a question for you, or anyone who would like to jump in. I'm restoring a Stanley Bailey #6, and took the rust off the sole and discovered a couple of chips on the back of the throat. They're about 1/32nd chips where the frog meets the throat. My question is, Is this going to be a problem restoring this, or is it okay? Oh, and thanks for mentioning disabled Vets ( class of 1970), I got a little choked up, that was heart felt, wasn't ready for that. This is a new hobby for me, but I'm an old time woodworker. Thanks for the shout out.

Did Stanley ever make lever caps without their logo stamped in? I've got a no.5 SW in rough shape but the lever cap isn't marked at all? It looks original but idk, thanks for any info

RIP

Another great video and by chance I bought an old 5 1/2 today. Off to see how big the logo is now :)

I have a falcon 51/2 made in Australia. Do you have any info about it?

You always use your "dirty oil". What is it? Thanks for sharing the video.

Hey Keith, Question on a different plane; How often do ya get a #48 to sell and how much normally does a user go for ???

May have been your best sounding plane yet. If I was blind I would have known how sharp that was. I'm curious of your take on something. The first plane restoration videos I watched all said that you should always have the blade and lever cap installed while lapping the sole. I've only done about 5 restorations but I've always followed that. I've noticed you don't. Since I've begun seeing you as the expert I'm curious why you don't. My guess is that in reality the difference is small to nothing. However I've also felt the difference in effort is also small to nothing. So I'm just curious why not?

My old 5 1/2 has the same logo on the iron's cap but mine is corrugated.

Great result again Keith! How much time did it take to restore this one? Regards, Paul

Hey Keith, I'm interested in the plane. How do I contact you?

Early 5 1/2 s and 6051/2s had 21/4 blades! Go figure!
