lovely video hehe like a poem mate!, I wonder what kinda water recirculating system u got there, just for curiosity

Dawn powerwash is excellent as well. I used to use simple green to clean my saw blades, but Dawn powerwash seems to clean them quicker and with less scrubbing to get off the resins. It claims to have 3 enzyme cleaners or something, but whatever the reason it works fantastically when coupled with a nylon bristle brush like a fingernail brush, toothbrush, or a parts cleaning brush from an automotive store.

5:30 if you ever remake a video like this, find an old junker and half submerge it in vinegar to show the before and after

How many 209s were made?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm sure that it has saved many planes from being ruined. With that said, what is your thought on using WD40 Rust Remover on a user plane?

I have watched a couple of your videos and have appreciated your prospective. Keep it up

I must've gotten a bad-batch of DMT stones. After using whetstones for 50 years I decided to buy 3 diamond plates and the 1200 grit one has no grit on it after a month of use (I looked at it with a microscope). The key with whetstones is that you flatten them after each use, which takes less than a minute. If you wait until there's a bowl in the middle you might as well take it to the belt sander because otherwise it'll take a long time.

I have to ask - what is the process to get a plane but open like this to be able to make this video? Super cool to see it cutting from the side view

I have the 8900. It was my fathers. It’s in really great condition. I just retired as an electrician. And I need something to do. I tried to plane years ago. I gave up. Now I researched and know how to tune them. The 8900 cuts like a dream after I tuned it. I also have a #9. That was is in great condition and is a great cutter also. BTW in the 80’s I did work in the great neck plant lol.

Really enjoyed this entire video even 5y later. The progression is amazing. Still exited to see what Union releases over the next couple years.

I say keep it , u have shared knowledge thats priceless, been using hand planes for awhile now n got some good tips from u THANX !!!!

Informative video Just as I have found all your videos to be. One suggestion, will you start zooming in when you are trying to show details. Without it is very hard to see what you are trying to show us. Lastly, have you tried a Sedgley plane? I just received one from a buddy in England, very underappreciated plane.

Just stumbled upon your channel and I am really enjoying the content. New subscriber.

In my military days we had something similar to 3 in 1 to clean our weapons called "CLP clean, lubricate, and protect" and we'd put our weapons back in the arms room with a nice coat before storing long term like a few weeks or more. Weapons always came out beautiful when we checked em out. A little side story there but I completely agree to respect a tools age and not start grinding away at it. A little oil soaking and a brush definitely is sufficient rehydrating that metal

Any pre-orders this year?

I would think that anything done to a plane is more important if it is going to the bench rather than the collector's shelf. After all the reason one is going to the collector's shelf is it wasn't used in the first place so doesn't have to work, while the one going to the bench is going to be used and must work. Well, it's clean except for all that oil over it.

You Sir..show the sweat, the determination, the grit needful to prosper. Very cool pics. I see a man working on an idea, a supporting family, and a bottle of Advil. You are America at its best.

Very interesting to see how other restorers clean metal planes. This is a hobbies of mine, but I do restoration of large woodworking machines on commission. The smaller woodworking tools I no longer take commissions. Very easy to get behind once collectors hear there is someone to do the work for them. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed doing each one, especially the rare tools. "Four in One Oil" is the best all around oil I've ever used. I was able to get it by the gallon, so I'm set for a life time, lol. I keep it in a small rare brass oiling can for daily use. Everything this man is saying is correct when it comes to collectables,, but if a customer insisted the plane look new, I would explain that it would ruin the value, and if they still insisted, I did as requested. But most know what a restored tools is supposed to look like. The quality of tools has gone down over the decades and that is why there is a resurgence in owning old tools and machines. My brother and I have some modern poweetools for the family cabinet/furniture business, but many of the businesses and in our personal shops still have the large cast iron machines from the turn of the 20th century. Beautiful machines, without computers running them to break down. If a part breaks we check our parts storage room for original parts that were bought many years ago by my grandfather, or we go to the huge family barn where we keep other "parts" machines we have bought at auction over the years. They used to be dirt cheap and have bought up several shops worth of machines when they closed their doors. Those machines will eventually get restored for our own shop, or remain as parts machines. They are kept in a dry, temperature control 200 year old barn so we don't worry about them rusting out. They each got an initial cleaning if to rusted, and oiled before storage. It's getting harder to find the old machines with the renewed interest in owning them. I have a small room that I keep my old hand tools in that haven't been restored and are separated by those to be restored and those for parts. I found it important when doing this as a business to keep several of the same planes for parts just incase someone brings a tool to me to be restored and it is missing a rod, brass adjuster, or a square nut that you can't run to the store for. I still enjoy going to auctions for new handtools to add to my collection. It is sort of an addiction, lol. Great job sir and always a pleasure to watch others restore a handtool and watch their methods. A Hint: I took and old kitchen island with a sink and installed that in my shop for tool cleaning. I needed a sink anyway and this was a narrower than normally for an island. That is where I do all of my restorations and sharpening. It has a dead flat granite top which is perfect for sharpening and most importantly it was free. I installed a faucet that goes on with movement so the water isn't running all of the time. Water is a precious commodity that is becoming scarce and we each need to do our part.

Small plane. Works great. Good instructions

Has the initial run of 100 been delivered ? 4 months repeating the question. I assume the answer is NO.

Has the initial run of 100 been delivered ?

My god I'm glad I'm From England because them sliding bevels are like £35 (stock rosewood like), honestly I'm just outside of Sheffield and I love being here because I find so many old tools in outstanding condition for stupid cheap and I can't believe it took someone from the other side of the pond to make a good video on the trial set lol

Thank you, very informative video. You have helped me understand that I have a Type 1B (No3). This was given to me. There is no screw holding the blade to the iron to the chip breaker. Would you know where I can find a replacement? I would like to restore and use this ingenious little plane.

If you’ve shown this on another of your videos, I’d appreciate seeing that, but as I was following your clear instructions here (and I admit I’m a bone stock unaware plane user), I was looking for your direction when installing the frog, if THAT position made a difference, and advising whether the frog just screwed in or needs to be closer or further from the mouth. There’s a bit of movement on the MF 900B plane I’m tinkering with, and honestly, after trying it out after following your tuning video here, I am getting poor performance. The sole is relatively flat (afaik) under a long straight edge, the toe’s flat, but I’m getting minimal scraping even adjusted fully forward. I guess it could be a crappy board surface I’m trying to scrape, but I’m too novice to say. Thanks for your explanations, they are easy to follow and pretty precise and detailed otherwise.

You certainly have this down to a science! Thank you for making the process known in order to preserve as many survivors as possible. Keep providing your educational videos, and I’ll keep learning from the Jersey Shore. Thank you! -CY Castor

What size is the wooden fence? I just managed to buy a Rapier 3 yesterday, and I'm getting it set up to use.

Something that bothers me is the mish mash of parts people throw at a plane on eBay & call it good! Putting a Stanley Handyman parts on a Stanley Bailey sole, using whatever screws they can make fit. When I clean I inspect the whole plane & replace with period correct parts. It's hard for me to sell when I get done with a plane.

That's good advice! I try to respect the history of the tool. I'm retired & broke so I buy mostly broken & missing part planes. I admit when I started alot of the cleaning or videos I saw involved making sure the base was flat & sides were perpendicular but with the market so saturated it didn't make sense. Forgive my past cleaning sins! I think the pretty planes are for the ladies, maybe I'll paint my next plane pink or in rainbow colors!🤪 Thanks again & God Bless!

When you talk about drying of the wet surfaces try using mentholated spirts. again something to look at, I use it on my restoration planes. For me it works. In my comments I post they are just what works for me. My pet hate is vinegar. I like how though you go through you processes. cheers

For what its worth and its questionable to say the least, I don't like water near my planes, I like to use kerosene in the cleaning process. Cheers from Tasmania. again its a personnel thing, it works.

Hi final some one else that hates vinegar used in restoration. My pet hate, you buy plane six weeks later rust. Contact seller ask how he cleaned plane, vinegar and salt. Boat anchor. So far I like your video. cheers from Tasmania

I found one of their miter boxes from the 1880s in sharp, unrestored still used condition.

Very informative. Simple Green is on the opposite side of the PH spectrum from vinegar. Vinegar is acidic with a PH of about 2.5. Simple Green is alkaline with an 8.5 to 9.0 PH. Nuetral PH is about 7.0 on the PH scale.

We have a type 1 B no. 8 grooved. Are all no. 8's grooved? Very interested in getting a couple type 5s

Excellent presentation! Very interesting, I need to get one of these planes!

Was waiting for you to show the union x plane. Great content only found you three days ago but been watching as much as I can.

Perfect!

knife is amazing tool for joining because allows you get a perfect trimmer to cut with your backsaw

thanks for sharing this video I love hand tools which are made in sheffield England and also history behind them. you got high quality tools from Joseph Marples

Am I seeing "Bailey" behind the knob on the Wards Master?

Getting excited about trying out my new Union X plane.

Are you still selling the Joseph Marples kits?

This person tells you truth. Listen to him.

Thanks for the info. Based on the info you provided, I have a type 4, X-4, that needs a blade, chip breaker and front knob to get her back into working order. I hope to order one of your new planes in the near future.

I'm such a lazy a**. I don't remember seeing this.

Hi Robert, I think I saw you're planning to do all the standard sizes up to #8, any plans to do the 4 1/2 or 5 1/2? These are my preferred sizes, and I'm very interested in your new X planes, but wondering if I should hold off for a 4 1/2 rather than the 4 1/4?

It’s a pretty view! What a cool way to educate folks on the way a properly tuned plane can run!

So that’s a Dunlap Plane (made by MF)?

I just bought a No 9 on eBay. It hasn’t come in yet but I’m not sure what type it is. There is not Millers Falls stamp on the lever cap or around the tote. It also has flat head hardware and a painted knob and tote.

its awesome to see these parts being made and they are individually made one at a time. MINDBLOWN
