In this video I restore a 110 year old No. 10. I show an easy way to repair a tote that has part of its base broken off and you get to see the old number 10 joint a board and cut rabbets with and across the grain.
Beautiful. I sure wish I would come across one locally that I could restore myself. Not that I would mind paying for your work, but other than my time investment my most expensive plane, very small collection, was only $15 for an early 1900's No. 6C Bailey at a yard sale. Including carving a tote and knob from pallet wood I have about seven hours into that restore, so I understand charging "market value" after you put the work into it. It did turn out beautiful.
I love those planes I have 2 of them... They are great to have and they really work well if set up correctly... Nice job and love the way you take care of the patina... Ulrich
Hello I’m wondering if you would help me with a Stanley no 10 question. I bought one and it was working amazing. After some use I took the plane and sharpened it. Now when putting it back together the plane iron will not contact the wood even when the wheel is fully extended pushing the plane and chip breaker down. The only way I can get it to contact the wood is but setting the chip breaker way off the cutting edge and that just doesn’t work well. I even tried moving the frog around to see if that would be the issue. Not sure what to do now as it worked beautifully before I messed with it. Any help would be appreciate. Love your videos!!
Great job, as always :) I have an unrelated question. What do you do when there is pitting on the sole that you cannot or do not want to lap out but the rust inside the pits is still active and comes back after you have cleaned it?
Any regular wooden jack or jointer would be great. In particular, advises how to deal with paint and other stains, when to preserve and when to restore, how to do major repairs (throats, gluing back totes, etc.) would be very appreciated.
