I've recently got into hand plane restoration and have watched quite a number of restoration videos. This is the first one I've watched deal with a broken tote or knob, with a piece missing, that repaired it instead of replacing it, which is what I would tend to do. Great job and was especially glad to see someone repair a tote vs replacing it 👍😎🤠🇺🇸
Nice Job on the no 6 stanley . I am at present restoring my no, 6 stanley bench plane too its good fun and these planes just will not DIE they will live forever my favourite is the no 4 smoothing good luck cheers Glenn.
Looks great. My favorite part of restoring planes is using abrasives on a granite block. There’s no reason these planes shouldn’t be in service so well done to bringing another back to life.
I was a little surprised to see you placing the washers between the plane bed and the frog. Does the frog ride on the washers (bad design)? Surely they were supposed to be above the frog to stop the bolts clamping down?
