Stanley No.6 Fore Plane 

I use a set of five Stanley planes I bought cheap and lovingly restored. I never use more than a brass brush and liquid rust remover. My late 40's #6 is a real pleasure to use. I occasionally reflatten my workbench top with it among other things. When super sharp it works well as a smoother, even compared to the Lie Nielsen model #6. I had a great time watching your restoration and listening to your gentle narration. Keep up the good work.

Great restoration technique video!

Brilliant instruction, thank you!

That's a perfect job looks absolutely amazing 👏 👌

My soon to be 10 year old daughter flipped in laughter when saw a chicken on top of your head.

What are the different kinds of Planes ..... I have a no. 5 stanley ; with a screw that adjust in the fog, Missing? What up with that. Oh, let you we 🎭 producing your scraper one at a time..😂 I love it works great, thank you for the lesson and sharing....OORAH!!

Blade was probably from a number 11

Bought a 6C Type 11 today. Surface rust and some chipped japanning on the heel and toe. Want to keep the existing japanning but the spots are bigger than the little chips on yours (but smaller than than on the section you stripped). Any recommendations? Also, what's the best way to remove rust from a corregated sole? This is my first antique plane restoration and I don't want to mess it up. Thanks!

I have just purchased a Stanley No.6 and wondering how you would go about removing splashed red paint on top of the japaning, quite thick in some places. I am a bit apprehensive about using any solvent /paint stripper and not sure that if I try and scrape it off this may also scratch the japaning. How would you go about removing this paint issue from the plane japaning ? Cheers

Type 13 Stanley plane with orange paint on the lever cap ??? I have 4 different type 13's and none of them have a trace of orange paint. One of them is a 5 1/2 in perfect condition. Please explain. Thanks.

Awesome double stamp blade, Question is, ,, , Most likely it's a laminated blade, did the Company sharpen the correct side of the blade ?

There no 6 is one weird plane, some carpenters liked it as a lighter jointer.

I just won a no 4 1/2 type 16 for $5 . I am excited to fix this old girl up.

I need one am in uganda.

Hello! Great work! Today I also finished my Stanley No. 6. Very good plane.

Wow! I've never seen a lever cap stamped like that.

Love your restoration videos!! Thank you!

I made some of those scrapers and they are great. I use them all the time now, on projects far removed from cleaning up my planes.

Great result Keith, what a beauty.

The number 6 was a carpenter's favorite because it would fit most tool boxes!

Great job as always

I have a 6c that I love. Not as pretty as that one but she works fine.

Super!

Thanks for the restoration videos. Any chance you would consider doing some on other tools such as a brace or perhaps a hand saw ? Thanks again

That was a piece of southern yellow pine. Cherry looks quite a bit different.

My favorite plane I prefer a no.6 over any of the others I have 10 of them mostly type 11&16. Have 3 I have as users one for smoothing 1 for jointing and one set up as a scrub. My smoother and jointer have Hock replacement blades as the originals were worn down

Hey Keith just got a tip on a 605 1/2 smooth bottom. She's $150 so she better be sweet! Were there any 605 1/2's that were SW's? Wish me luck...

Do you have an Ebay profile that you can link?

What is the difference berween fore plane and a jointer? and jack?

👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

in comparison to other model #s hows the size of the mouth on a 6 ?
