I do like the design of the 220, so much easier to adjust than the "nudge-and-fudge" of the 110. As you said this was in very good condition as received, so easy cleanup and paint. It looks and works well. Nice job and a good price. I am a leftie so use my hand planes with my left hand. Not a problem - until I purchased a vintage Stanley 45 and discovered the design is intended for right hand use. Rust removal methods could be a good subject to start a proverbial bar fight. Some fluids will remove rust without harming plating or paint. Some will remove rust and plating and potentially paint. Some are faster than others. Most acids will remove rust, but will also attack plating and potentially paint. Whatever fluid you use, it is important to completely submerge the parts or you will get a "tidemark" which is very difficult to remove. If you leave the parts overnight, I recommend covering the container to minimize evapouration to prevent any parts being partially submerged. My preferred rust removal product is EvapoRust since it does not attack plating or paint. This is available in the UK. It is expensive, Pds 28 but can be re-used many times. I leave the parts overnight, but this product can work in a few hours. www.thompsonsltd.co.uk/qevp5l-evapo-rust-5l-rust-remover-liquid-solution-removes-metal-oxides-water-soluble.html A less expensive fluid is Oxalic acid, also called Wood bleach in the US. A couple of tablespoons in a gallon of warm water. So even a small container lasts a long time. The mixture can be reused a few times. I leave the parts overnight. www.agwoodcare.co.uk/products/oxalicacid/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIm7vz3_Kb7gIVUBatBh3Fjwm-EAAYAiAAEgL7dfD_BwE You can also use white vinegar alone. I have not tried electrolysis, which works well, but also attacks plating and paint. It can make a mess. I saw some videos where folks used graphite electrodes which minimized the mess. Not easy to get large chucks of pure graphite though. Dave.
Excellent job, ps regards comments on oxalic acid, I can confirm brilliant stuff, clean a boat hel coat right in front of your eyes, it really is amazing, rhubarb leaves
When using any kind of rust remover have it covering all of it because it'll leave a line you'll never get rid of with most of them Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Great video! I've bought a few new planes and they seem to be built quite poorly and require a lot of set up out of the box I think I might give one of the vintage ones a go thanks for the detailed restoration. Cheers for Canada
So pleased to find this one as I have just discovered my Grandad’s old 220 in a bag of old stuff we had in storage! So guess what I am going to be doing with it... 🤪 A couple of questions if you would kindly indulge me; you suggested a link to a comparison (of wheels of some sort?), which I did not see appear? What paint & varnish would you recommend for the restoration please? Great video, thank you... 👏🏻
sorry this is the comparison video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GVp6JwYaZOY.html - long term I have not found a great deal of difference between the wheels - the 3M is a bit faster but i think it is a slightly more aggressive grit rating, for paint I used Hammerite smooth black (started using spray now which is better but I am not so good at spraying as have little patience) On the bigger planes I have realised (i am still learning) that if you can you should preserve the original paint if its reasonable - they somehow look better. for varnish I used standard yacht varninsh but have also changed opinion on that and for the last couple I have either oiled using danish oil or just cleaned using Meths and wire wool. It depends how far you want to go of course. Best regards
@@TheShedProjectUK Ah thank you very much for the link, apology unnecessary! And for the additional tips, which I will bear in mind, when I see just how bad Gramps’ old plane really is (it still has some shavings from the last job it attacked!). Enjoying watching your channel btw, thanks for sharing your experiences... ✅ 👏🏻
Hi Rob - yes the polishing wheels are Scotchbrite 3M wheels they are quite expensive but give good reults - i bought some cheaper versions as well and they were pretty good also - i did a video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GVp6JwYaZOY.html and the wheels are on Amazon here www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=shopoftheworl-21&linkCode=ur2&linkId=739efe70e3f359077d19fa6bf52915a2&camp=1634&creative=6738&index=diy&keywords=3m scotchbrite wheels
