Save time and get fantistic results when restoring your plane with a couple easy to make tools. Not all planes come out as good as this one. Pitting can only be removed by lapping and should only be done for shallow pitting if at all.
Built a scraper last night and worked beautifully on removing the lacquer on some old knobs and totes. Way better than the side of a chisel that good ol' Paulie S recommends.
I have made these and they work great. I use different grits of paper on the sanding sticks to get a smoother finish in the frog mounting areas. Great video
I only recently found your channel and after seeing the scraper with the Stanley logo I was frantically searching for any info on what model number it was and who might have one for sale. Then I realized you made it… LOL! Gosh I feel foolish. Oh well, off to make my em now! Thanks for the tutorial. 😉
Great video Keith, look forward to the next detailed videos. Used a scraper on my last plane project, works pretty good and saves time too. Anyway, thanks for this video and keep them coming. Not sure I like the new wig, gentlemen prefer blondes after all-;) Regards, Paul
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.
Thank you so much for doing this video I really like how you go into more detail in this one. As someone who enjoys restoring planes this really helps me out. I do have one question why 150 grit instead of like 120 or something seems like the lapping process wouldn't take as long with 120 or maybe even 100
Plane Collector very good I was just curious. It does a fine job I have some in the shop and a couple planes to lap gonna give it a try. Please keep doing the deeper detail videos thanks again great channel
Hello, I recently subscribed to your channel. Why is that the large majority of your videos are about Stanley planes? Are they the best brand to get? I am also beginning on woodworking. Thank you
Plane Collector thank you so much for the explanation. I bought a Craftsman #14, mainly because of the price, I'm following your restoration system to remove all the rust out of it, to make it a user. Since I don't know anything about it, I will give it a try after I'm done, then I will take it from there, at least it would not matter much if I mess up this Craftsman, I will get a Stanley, eventually. Thank you sir
Im really battling to get a burr going on the scraper. I have tried holding it at 90 deg and twisting it slightly but it never seems to form a burr. Using 150grit paper and I have completely removed the sharp edge but still no burr on either side. Any tips for what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks I really appreciate the info. Will try it again, the scraper looks like a really good tool to use. Now I need to try to find some of those sanding sponges, its surprisingly hard to find stuff like that in South Africa!
