Stanley Hand Plane - Type Study Breakdown - Types 11 & 12 (3 patent dates in the bed) 

The Pirate Code.....love it

Excelente! Aprendo mucho de usted maestro. Llevo coleccionando planes, varios años y lo seguiré haciendo. Desde Uruguay mis saludos

I just got a #7C and I think it's a type "11 1/2". It has the high knob with the 1" adjustment wheel. I'll check the frog as well. Thanks for the info!!

I have a number 4 type 11 with high knob. Recently got a another one in lot buy with cracked body and tried low knob but got too used to high and went back. Funny thing is my five type 10 seems great with low knob. Guess it is what I got used to.

Hope you double your subs in a week.

You made the claim that there's no friction difference in the two types of soles on the plane ? You must live on a secret hilltop unseen by anyone . If the pitchfork and torch wielding mob comes after you , don't say I never warned you . Lol . 😆 great video , great format .

Dear Mike; Thx so much for your channel! I just acquired a "user" model 7, Type 16 in very good condition except for a "hanging hole". Much to my surprise the iron is about 1 inch too long when compared to a brand new Hoch iron I purchased to put a vintage number 6 Stanley back in service. Because the iron is too long I cannot get the Number 7 tuned, but when I replace that iron with the new Hock, it works just fine! The iron that came with the Number 7 looks really good, with lots of life left in it, and it took a good edge, and it is marked "Stanley". Any ideas what model bench plane this iron is meant for? Thx. Al K.

My number 5 jack plane is my favorite plane. I guess its a type 10 according to that patent date on base.

Thanks MJ. Another great video. Helped me confirm my 4 1/2 is a Type 11. I have the 'T' logo , so would that mean it possibly would be an earlier Type 11, say 1910-12?

I have seen stanley no 4 that has MADE IN USA in front of the forward knob , it only has one patent date APR 19-10, What type is this n r they rare? thanx for all ur informative videos !!!!

I would like to buy the stud and brass fastener for a Stanley baley no 3 type 9.

So the type 11 and 12 have the 3 patented dates. Right?

Great vid as always! Just wondering if you sell any of your hand planes on ebay...

So no patent #’s then no authentic antique?
