Gorgeous!
Nice work as always!! I have an old plane that is about to get a similar treatment. Loved the history lesson, too!
I have a block plane fetish, too! I have an old antique Stanley which I always use when hanging doors, usually to just aris them but sometimes I smooth a little with it too. Loves me blockies, me!
Keep the videos coming! Great job and great information.
Another tool saved from death by rust. Great background info on the plane, too. Makes me want to hit some flea markets again. I’m partial to the Sweetheart era Stanley tools (my collection started off with ones I bought when my neighbor who I had great respect for passed away and most them were that vintage), but have a number of earlier models as well.
You are beautiful ❤️
No more than an hour on lapping an iron, because…’lazy’. Seriously. We’ve seen your endlessly-complex workshop…the world would function better if more of us could attain this level of half-assed. And if it was, overall, nerdier.
Another excellent video, thank you.
Belle restauration, bonne idée d’avoir conservé sa patine. Moins certain pour les dents 😁
Si tu as d’autre projet de restauration, n’hésite pas.
I always wear a seatbelt when walking a nerdy river.
How is it that you and I seem to have similar projects so often, but you always leave my efforts lacking? You’re the person I keep chasing to better my skills. Thanks for being inspiring. And this type of video is fire. If I ever move into YouTube, this is how I will try to be.
Wonderful restoration! Knuckle cap planes are just so comfortable to use, all of the knuckle cap models are worth having in a tool arsenal. I have a 19 with the early 2 piece cap (a real PITA) which does a good job planing regardless.
A nice pacing to the video. I also like to use hand abrasives Vs machine to clean up old tools
Cant believe i just found you through instagram. Gr8 video! Sooo much knowledge
Your are a nerd, it’s awesome
beautiful restoration 👍
Very well👍
Thoroughly enjoyed the entire video.
again a very nice and interesting video. your work is excellent.
very cool! thanks for all the info about patents and early design (yes, I’m happy to ride the nerd train for the detailed backstory)
I always thought "japanning" just referred to furniture/lacquer finish; happy learn it also refers to metal finish. thanks!
Great job 👍
I’m guessing the steel plate you were flatting on is not the new SawStop. Thanks for not sandblasting! Nice restoration!
Nice choice of background music, made this video very tranquil. Nice work.
Yes you are very nerdy but in a good way. I love how raw and honest you are and your content and editing is on point. And your tools that are for sale are well made I’ll be buying a few for Chrissy presents.
Nice to see that you didn’t remove the Japanning. I think sometimes youtubers do hard restorations when a soft one would suffice, (but its their tools and their channel so I don’t criticise).
Neeeeerd! 😂
This restoration is so satisfying! Thanks for the explanation and the bite of handplane history!
Super belle restauration. On croirait pas que c’est le même rabot à la fin.
Je pense que j’ai le même, par contre j’ai jamais eu besoins de le restaurer le chrome est encore tout là, mais j’ai chiper le bas exactement comme le tien. Par contre depuis que je me suis acheté un rabot à angle faible de Veritas je m’en sers presque plus. Mais ont peu le voir dans plusieurs de mes premiers épisodes.
Merci
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice restoration. I am not a big fan of this type of block plane, but the basic coolness of the knuckle-joint plane cannot be denied. Thanks!
Il est très joli et il a l’air de faire du bon boulot.
Bravo pour la restoration ! 👍👍👍
