PlaneCollector8753 (may he RIP) debunked this theory. You may recall PlaneCollector8753 as the mountain of a man that wore the wig made of wood shavings/curls. I am going to defer to his results. Search for “planecollector8753 lapping” to find the video whose title begins with the word “BUSTED”

Thanks for the video. Check out “ Museum of Our Industrial Heritage “ The museum is located in Greenfield,Mass and has a lot of early American machinist tools as well as carpenters tools that were made in that area along with Miller Falls tools.

Thorough and inspiring expertise which I hope to duplicate one step at a time!!

Thanks. I have a #5 with a broken tote, a tote I was going to replace. I'm going to see if I can repair it before I give up on it.

Hi, beautiful work, I bought one recently and it is in worse condition than yours, but you will look incredible, a question, what is the angle you gave the blade?

Give me yellow blue and gold

Thanks for the years of great content. Hope you’re doing well.

Blade was probably from a number 11

i miss this guy

I don’t know what happened to this page, but watching all of these got me through the pandemic. I learned so much from these videos. Thank you for each and every one of these videos.

Hello sir, I have buy one in reaseonabele condition, but the deckchisel has no logo on his front. Does this happen often? There is a number 397 on the back. Have you an idea how old it is? Greetings from Holland.

If they're in decent shape and tuned well I like them. I'm okay with collectors not liking them as much because I've gotten a couple of nice jointer planes for a few dollars apiece.

Where do you get the big sandpaper pieces?

Great vid man!

Lovely job!

Kia Ora & Good Evening from North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand …great video bro …

Completely agree with your video! I simply can not believe that tightening TWO SCREWS, not bolts but SCREWS into cast metal I might add, can have any impact on the surface of the sole.

Anyone knows what happened to this man. He has not had any video for years

Hey plane collector! I really enjoy watching your restoration tutorials and was wondering if you can use a shellack in aerosol spray instead on the knob and tote?

I bought one last year at a garage sale for 5 bucks. I'm beginning the task of completely restoring it to its original condition in the hopes of selling. Appears to be a solid plane.

Funny how I was looking up on what I'm supposed to heat up to break rust locked screws free, and the screws I'm trying to break free are also on a hand plane. Mine is a smoothing plane though and the locked up screws are the two screws that hold the frog on the sole. So this is gonna be REALLY useful and helpful. Sadly I screwed up the screw heads.

I agree generally, but I do insist on full contact on the edge of the hole in front of the blade. Without that, tearout is much more likely.

If you don’t have spray adhesive, and don’t want to wait for glue, you can fasten the sandpaper with a staple gun. You do have to avoid sanding with the stapled area, but it is quick and easy.

Great vid! I recently found a #4 Stanley hand plane in an antique shop and want to restore it...just wondering what kind of black paint did you use?

thanks for the video. just FYI, the reason for the wide mouth is that the sole has been worn down from use and regular flattening (a must for wooden body planes)

Jesus Christ, your bench grinder sounds like a washing machine that had a bunch of wrenches thrown into it. Lol

Exelent!

Good job, Sir.

What decals would have been on the old sheffield tools im from just down the road and find loads of them

I need one am in uganda.

When you have a great tool with one flaw---a tiny, persnickety flaw at that---good advice can be hard to come by. You, sir, have a way of focusing in on the issue, diagnosing the problem with superb close-ups to boot, and approaching the solution with the spirit of a surgeon's precision. Masterful! Now if I can just find my set of punches...Many thanks!

No. 24 brother, if no one wants her .... we will find a warm smooth 🏡 barrack's..... Oh Yea! ... OORAH!!

Hello, Mr. Bradfield; Thank you for another excellent video. I was introduced to planing over 50 years ago as a kid in high school. But I didn't take to it then. I'm old, disabled, & medically retired now but I've started doing some woodworking. So I'm learning about planes & planing. Thank you for your contribution to my continuing education. This video answers some questions for me but I'm still trying to get my No. 4 'flat'. It was really not 'flat' but it is getting closer. I've got a coarse Shapton coming so I can get my iron in shape. I know how to sharpen but the iron was strangely uneven, whatever, I'll grind it. Thank you, may you continue to prosper as the Plane Collector. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

Hello, Mr. Bradfield; EXCELLENT! Great video, I think you may be an 'artist' mechanic. I have a type 16 #4, ogfcourse it is not a 'collectable'. The lateral is held by a rivet which moves in the frog. It is loose, if you turn the plane on its side the lateral falls down. If I take the frog off again I'll use a center punch & tap it on my anvil to try to tighten it a bit. Thank you for all you do. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor! PS I almost laughed out loud at your wig!

@gunnyoorah1846 4 minutes ago (edited) Hi, I purchased an old rusty block plain and when I scrapped the blade on top was a logo Stanley SW, with the made in usa on the sides of the logo. Let me know if it worth anything? let me know. I send some pics after I finish restoring it.

Cual capullo emergió de las capas de pintura. Estas lo preservaron mucho.

Do you have a stanley#71 throat closing attachment for sale?

That is beautiful work!

I wish I'd had one of those for all the red cedar shingles I've installed over my career! That is super cool!

🌲🍀🐾📐⚒Yeah, good demonstration on the plane. I like also, how you showed everything taken apart. Very informative there as well. I definitely wouldn't have nailed the "fence" boards though, too destructive to the workpiece & way dangerous to you. Definitely use a couple of "hold fasts" & "bench dogs" (stops) if you have the right type of bench - which is how it would've been done back in the day. Or a pair of C - clamps with maybe wider pieces for the fences so the clamps wouldn't get in your way. Good job though, & thanks for your sacrifice & putting the plane back on the market, instead of under a drop forge😁😎⚒📐🐾🍀🌲.

I dunno I like em. I like the wood on wood feel. Then again I also like full wood planes and don't find an issue setting them up. As I like my metal plane. Just grab the one that is sharp at the time.

Very informative video. Tjhanks.

That thing is Awesome!

Hope Keith is well

Unrelated to this video, but where do you source your sanding/polishing sticks?

I bought a #28 It is in great shape (smoothed and flattened the sole and sharpened the irons) I use the crap out of it. It can do fine work to the point only a couple of strokes with the #4 is needed

i tried the email you listed above, and Plane Collector..... it came up "No exact matches found" ...

Thanks for the lesson.
