Maybe he’s trying to get some ladies and gay guys to subscribe 🤔😐😇🤦🏻♂️ I wonder what stats are on the number of female woodworkers there are in general and with hand tools only 🤷🏼♂️
I could listen to him for hours. Irish accents and general manners of speaking are incredibly pleasing to the ear. I'd love to hear him read Joyce aloud.
The major difference in the Bedrock planes is the ability to adjust the frog forward or backward without having to remove the iron, chip breaker and lever cap which you can't do on the Bailey pattern planes.
highly recommend getting paste wax to coat your planes with helps with slowing the rust down a lot. I had 3 of mine that I treat with paste wax get rained on and left for a week and only had tiny spots of rust on them.
Thank you lad for sharing your woodworking knowledge. I truly appreciate your lectures. The information presented is unambiguous and extremely practical. Kudos! 🧐🤔👊👍🙏
I love this video. You're very humble and easy to listen to. Those handles are gorgeous. The Stanley Sweetheart decal on that tote is a huge bonus. I had a No 5 that had that on it still. I just picked up a No 3 that has about half of the decal. Oh, and you don't have to remove the pins on the 605 frog to adjust it. You loosen the screws in the back and it should allow the frog to slide forward or back. Keep up the great work! I've watched all of your shorts and now working on your videos. ☺️👍
May I ask what Grid of sandpaper you're using to restore the soles and the sides? I've one or two Metal Planes from my late father, I wouldn't wanna ruin them by going too rough on the surfaces😊
I don't know much about all of the stones out there in the world but I have had one India stone for 10 years and used them 10 years previous. I've sharpened everything in the house and garage, lapped machine surfaces and have a 13 year old that has been sharpening since he was 7. I haven't had to lap any of that type yet.
Hey Eoin, have you tried using Renaissance Wax on the steel of your plane? It's a crystalline wax and should cut down on your planes getting Rusty? You can get it quite cheap online! I study Luthiery in Glasgow and I find your work really interesting! Love your channel.
I can’t explain why I love watching this guy fix up hand planes so much, but I don’t care. The other stuff is cool, too, it’s just that I’d have expected to have been done with the plane thing, specifically 🤷
I was watching The Shawshank Redemption and noticed at the end Andy Dufresne was using what looked like a hand plane on a boat he was fixing up. I'm wondering what kind.
I've decided to restore my grandads old stanley Bailey no.5 1/2 plane and there's a couple of small pits on the base. Giw deep is too deep to sand flat?
Jappaning is the name for a European imitation of Asian black laquer not regularly available in Europe so consisting of different materials and process
I found my grandpa’s Stanley number 40 and it doesn’t have a frog you just need the thing that goes in front of the blade not the trip breaker but something else I don’t know what it’s called and then you need a blade I have the other part I just can’t find a blade for it but I can’t afford it There’s no way to attach a chip breaker last time I checked the blade didn’t know it was so I was young and I just started splitting wood with it.
hey lad, really appreciate you and your stuff a whole lot, and I know you had no ill intentions but please, don't say stuff like "I'm a bit OCD" when referring to cleanliness or messes. Lots of people struggle massively with this disorder and its unfortunately predominantly not only or just the "funny little organising compulsion" but also horrible intrusive thoughts and anxiety among other severe symptoms. Sadly, the condition's stereotype is usually the only thing people think of, and sayings like "everyone's a bit OCD" doesn't help it. This is not supposed to be an attack to you personally but rather a little heads up. Thank you!
