This video is about block plane Restoration
It’s always good to see old tools restored – almost as good as the pleasure of restoring them yourself.
A wire wheel on a grinder gives enormous instant satisfaction, however, using that type of glove near a wire wheel is risking instant destruction of your hands if it snags on the wheel.
Much safer to wear leather or rubber gloves.
Hi, i recently acquired one of these planes (mine has a different lever cap but it’s the same model). The lateral adjustment lever on mine has lots of free play in both the horizontal and vertical direction. Does yours/Is this normal? Thanks for the video.
excellent work
Back to black,like new!
Thank you. I’m doing one today. Never thought about a primer coat. I’ve got some so why not?

4:38 really?
Very satisfying to watch, and listen to! 👌
Excellent work.
Whats the song used in the video?
I love any kind of restoration good job
Cleaning up rust and making everything shiny and polished (or painted) is nice. What is missing for a complete restoration is making sure the plane’s sole is flat, and the sides are at 90 degrees to the sole? And, flattening the iron’s backside then honing the bevel.
For small parts (in case of this little plane perhaps for all the parts including the body) I would recommend Evaporust rather than wire wheel. It dissolves the rust but doesn’t remove any more metal than is necessary. Plus, you can reuse Evaporust many times, so it lasts a long time.
You have clean, polish painted it allright. But some parts of the hand plain can not be done like that!
Just picked up one for restoration. Can anyone tell me what the front knob adjuster is for?
You dialed down the scream of the power tools almost to zero… I love you man! The plane looks great too! Every wood worker needs a good block plane and yours is ready to go for another 40 years!
Did I see painting over some rust? 3:49
Nice but you just cleaned it . Where is restoration ??????
I don’t mean to be a nag, but you really shouldn’t wear gloves while using rotary tools it’s very dangerous, especially bench grinders. If the wheel snags your glove it will take your hand with it, at the very least breaking a few fingers. If you don’t want to get your hands dirty then use latex or nitrile gloves (something that will tear easily)
You didn’t open. clean and adjust the throat plate. Shame on you ☺
A very nice restoration on a very well made and useful vice,well worth my 5 ☆ rating
Just watched your vid on reddit. Awesome stuff man!
Love it! Was gonna ask if you take pics of everything before taking it apart… Then I taught myself something… If I start videoing myself taking complex stuff apart (ex chainsaws) and a spring flies across the shed and gets lost in the dirt… I won’t be quite so lost! Thanks for the vid and inspiration spark!
