Very interesting. Thanks for that James. My favourite plane is an old wooden Jack plane that I used at school when I was a boy. My school sold off all their woodworking equipment and I was lucky enough to buy it. It needed a lot of work but the blade is an unbelievable piece of iron. Keep taking about your planes. We love it!

Wish I would’ve watched this before I started buying. I got a craftsman handyman first, thinking it was a 4 and it was a 3. Took it apart and there weren’t even machined surfaces where the frog sat on the sole. It was all covered sloppily with paint. Next I got a Siegley SsS “Stanley steel Siegley” (that’s what my research led me to believe it stands for, apparently there was a StS version that had thicker iron and a wider throat to accommodate that iron), which isn’t bad but doesn’t have a frog adjustment screw, just the 2 frog screws so you have to disassemble the entire thing to adjust the frog. Far better than the craftsman but no Bailey pattern for sure. Lessons learned the hard way, like you said. I would advise people to not get excited until they’ve done their research. Any thoughts on watching for the throat being damaged when purchasing? like can the throat be damaged behind the blade if not too bad but in front of the blade would be a deal breaker?

Out of my collection my favourite has to be my Stanley Bailey No.5.1/2, it's from the ww2 era and has the hard black rubber depth adjuster that was used as brass was needed for ammo shells, and like your one the horn was broken on the tote and a break half way down. My worst buy was a GTL steel no.4, the brass one's are worth getting if not just for the polished up look. Worst new plane I bought was a Stanley Bailey No. 4.1/2, that said it did turn out to be the best buy as after sending photo's and a video to the CEO it was replaced with a sample quality one, and as a goodwill gesture I was also sent a sample quality No.4 and a tool roll with 8 750 series socketed chisels. Stanley Bailey planes are now made in Mexico and the quality is terrible, and in the UK there are still plenty of good quality vintage planes at a similar price. I love rescuing old tools and restoring them, done all the plane's now so I am moving on to a pile of vintage and antique chisels I have amassed. Great video but some of the brands are unfamiliar to me in the UK.

Hi, one of the channels I watch "The Hand Toolery" is mostly a restoration for old tools. The reason I mention this is the product he uses to de-rust tools, "Evapo-rust" this is a none toxic and can be used without any need for gloves and it says that it is safe to dispose of down a house drain. the results he gets are amazing and it can be used again and again. As you will shortly be doing some rust removal I thought you might like to know about this product
@halsonger13176 жыл бұрын
I've used Evapo-rust to restore several rusty old tools. The job it did on an old WWII-era pipe wrench I inherited was nothing short of miraculous. However after doing some experimentation I've found that using distilled white vinegar does a terrific job as well. It can also be reused and is a lot less costly than Evapo-rust, plus it's clear so you can see your parts a lot easier in the soak bin. While the parts are soaking I periodically take some steel wool or a nylon brush and rub the rust off until I see clear metal/japanning or until the rust stops emitting a stream of bubbles, then take the parts out and dip them in a baking soda solution and rinse with water before drying. I can dip steel wool in more vinegar to work on any spots that need special attention or to bring out details after the soak. At that point the parts are ready for any final cleaning, lubrication and flattening/sharpening/etc. A gallon of Evapo-rust runs about $20 at the local auto parts store while the vinegar is less than $3 for a gallon at the grocery store, so I save the Evapo-rust for the items that I need to really soak for a long time to penetrate a lot of rust and vinegar for everything else.

Thanks for all the information you share on handtools. Personnaly I use a mixture molasses (1part) / water (6 parts). Soak the parts to clean a few days (depending on the severity of the rust). Then you only have to clean with clear water with a small brush. This is the process of chelation. It is miraculous and nontoxic. I use molasses for cattle, which is much more economical and works perfectly.

Cheap planes are kind of hit and miss, on mine regardless of how fine an adjustment I made to the screw the lever cap tension was never right, if it was loose enough to adjust the depth of cut, the blade would shift in use, if it was tight enough, then the plane couldn't be adjusted. I eventually got it flat but the sole, when I bought it was well out of true. The toe edge of the mouth was a bit crooked and filing it straight left a larger mouth than I really wanted. There were probably other issues but that's what I remember atm.

My first and only attempt at restoring a hand plane was a failure. I spent 10-20 hours and $30 in sandpaper, only to learn that it could not be restored (perhaps as a scrub plane). It's easier to know what to look for when you have actually used one before, which I have not. So my next one I'll just buy new, until I know what to look for. I think most beginning woodworkers should buy their first plane new.

I thought I'd mention cracks. They have been my biggest problem when purchasing planes. It seems to be a common problem. I believe if a plane was ever dropped it likely has a crack. I have found that even very very mild rust can make hairline cracks completely invisible until you clean them up. I have even bought one after looking at it intensely for cracks, being 100% positive it had no cracks only to find a crack when cleaning it. I know this doesn't have to be a dealbreaker but its something that really bugs me. I find I just never reach for a plane with a crack. Using it just frustrates me knowing that the crack snuck by me when I bought it.

It's right at 9" long with a wooden handle and a wooden knob upfront. It is a total of 2" wide. The only words on the entire plane are the words "MADE IN USA" just in front of where the handle meets the base. Near the center of the plane. It has an iron that is 1 5/8th's wide. It's green in color, but I don't think that that means anything. It doesn't appear to be repainted, but what do I know about this? Nothing. It only has a single knob at the top of the "chip breaker" (I think). All and all this plane appears to be super cheap, but I'm really not sure what I'm looking at. Have I said anything that makes you take any notice or ask any questions? I bought this thing at a pawn shop a year or two ago before I knew anything about planes.

All the numbers after number 8 are merely assigned in sequential order of when they designed the new plane.

It looks like you guys have been using the word 'bonkers' for yonks (AKA 'ages') This is from the Atlantic web site: The precise etymology of “bonkers” is unknown, but it likely came about the way Eric Partridge, in A Dictionary of Forces’ Slang, hinted at in his 1948 definition of the term: “Bonkers, light in the head; slightly drunk. (Navy.) Perhaps from bonk, a blow or punch on the bonce or head.” (“Bonkers” might also be connected to the other verbal senses of “bonk”-to have sex with, as in Mary Roach’s delightfully titled book, or more recently, in endurance sports, to hit a wall.) The word, with its multi-dimensional utility, quickly crossed over to the U.S.; its first known citation in America came in 1965, from the New York Times reporter Israel Shenker, who availed himself of the word’s alliteratively poetic possibilities: “In Paranoia, his newest picture,” Shenker wrote, “Italy’s Marcello Mastroianni goes slowly bonkers sharing bath, bed, and Bedouin with three co-stars.” Since then, “bonkers” has enjoyed life on both sides of the Atlantic, as an adjective and a proper noun: It has given its name to a board game, and an animated TV show, and a children’s party venue in Columbia, Missouri, and a late, lamented brand of chewy candy:

As a long time wood worker (hobby and professional combined is 50 years or little over) who is now retired, I spend more time sitting around watching videos. As a result, I have been astounded by the sheer volume of videos dealing with plane. I had no idea this plane fetish was so pervasive. As a woodworker, rather than collector, I found them of minimal value. (After borrowing one to fix a sticky bedroom door long ago, I bought one. Years later, I ran across it sitting dusty and rusty and I trashed it.) I am left confused; Do you people drive fasteners with them? Cut boards/panels to length with them??? Judging by the plane fixation, one can only assume this is the only tool some people use. I am just wondering how it's done. (BTW: for half the price of some people's plane collection, they could have a wide drum sander as well as a great power planer. Just an observation...)

LOL some peole spend so much of they life with power tools and computers for work that it is nice to come home and relax, slow down and connect better with the wood. That is the big reason the hand tool crowd has been growing so fast over the last 10 years or so.

There’s nothing at all wrong with an English made Bailey plane. Made in England, perfectly good for regular use. Even the Handyman models are perfectly useable and to turn your nose up at one as a perfectly serviceable hand plane smacks of snobbery. Disappointing, James.

I could not agree more. I think you misunderstood me. I have several English made planes in my stock. there is nothing wrong with a cheap plane. and in many cases that is better because it costs less.

'Bonkers!' You are the first American that I've heard using this word. It's a great word. I should also introduce you to 'bollocks'. Another fine English word. Your 'bollocks' are your testicles, so it can be used as an insult. Mainly it is used to express poor quality, as in 'What a load of bollocks', or 'you're talking bollocks'. Add it to your vocabulary - start a trend. Incidentally, I used to own a plane that had grooves on the sole, and it did find it easier to use. Unfortunately, I think the grooves compromised the structural integrity of the body, because when it fell off the bench, the sole broke, so I cursed it by yelling 'bollocks'.
