Rusty Hand Plane Restoration 

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you

Also the ability to chrome

Although my wood looks100 times better than yours !!!!!!!!

You did too much on the metal parts to have left the knob and tote looking like that !

Thank you very much. I’m trying to keep the videos coming. Hopefully I don’t run out of projects and supplies.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, good luck with your restorations.

You are SO lucky to have classic tools like that !!!! I hope you know those things go for a LOT if money in the antique tool market !! Please make your son aware of the history in his hands if he doesn't already know .

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thanks, I’ll make sure I add the info.

Thank you very much, I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

It would have been the best if he had given the knob and tote more attention. That was a real let down for me. I have 8 coats of wipe on poly on mine, really gives the beauty of the rosewood some depth !

Thank you very very much.

I really do like this tape. It is much easier to remove when hot. I’ll keeping an eye out for a bigger oven. However it’s hard to find one that’s on a 13amp plug without a fan built in. Most of our ovens are hardwired.

My tiny Workshop. Most houses here, post 1980, have a power point behind the oven but of course it all depends on the wiring back to your meter box. It seems most newer ovens here only need 10 amp which is a our standard power point. The 15 year old oven I am using now , which only cost me $40, is 10 amp so I made a 2 meter lead from heavy gauge flex and put a plug on the end. The power rating should be marked on your oven somewhere and that will make it pretty easy to work out the power draw. Also worth noting is that the element in my new oven is the same as the old smaller oven and I even pulled the element out of the old one to keep as a spare for the new one. The new oven had 3 separate elements in it which had me a little concerned about power draw until I realised that only one element at a time could be used. Grill, oven, and warmer. I removed all the wiring to the hot plates, grill and warmer. There is not much wiring left now just the light, fans and the oven element. That made it all a lot simpler to work thing out. Worth looking into. Cheers

It’s worth the investment. My system is from Eastwood

Powder coating's crap. It peels off as soon as you look at it. There's nothing wrong with enamel if it's done properly which it never ever is on YT. Enamel needs primer but before that it needs cleaning properly with detergents followed by acetone. It then needs de-gassing in an oven before priming. After priming and top coating it needs clear lacquer and it needs to cured. Done properly it will outperform powder coating any day of the week.

Thanks. I want to powder coat everything now

Not sure the ladies will love that 😂

Thank you, glad you liked it

Thank you very much. I’m still learning every day.

Glad you approve. Thank you

Thank you very much. Thanks to God I had a lot of patience on this one.

Thank you

What decisions didn’t you like. Thanks

@@mytinyworkshop1213 I suppose the main one was powder coating the cheeks. I know power coating is super tough but as an exposed exterior surface these would accrue chips over time if the plane were in use. And also on user planes one of the cheeks (the one corresponding to the user's dominant hand) might also be a bearing surface like the sole. There are also conventions about how various other parts are treated and the colour in the logo recess is one of those things Stanley owners can be quite fussy about (with red having a particular, negative, association). As I say these are just conventions, but it's what most woodworkers are accustomed to seeing and feel "looks right". Every owner is entitled to do whatever they want with a tool though!

Thanks for letting me know. I mainly powder coated the cheeks to prevent rust forming. I own many Stanley planes and tools. I would only be fussy with a restoration if the plane was pre war.

It’s a pretty cool space. 2 people can barely stand in there.

@@mytinyworkshop1213 Hmm. Maybe yours is a bit smaller than mine. Mine was made for only a golf cart! lol

Glad you liked it.
