Recently got my dad's No 44 rebate plane. Never used it but looking forward to my first try. Like you Darren the depth stop was lost. I didn't have the tools to make a new one so spent a couple of weeks on eBay until one came on line. As you say it's fairly rare so commands a premium - expensive for what it is but that's life, at least now I can get started.

Great video , could you tell me please what type of mill you have because im looking for a mill of similar size . Thanks

Stress,depression had me rolling😂

You should do the battery tie down and oil cap as well!

The hand plane collection is growing there buddy, you keep at what you are doing, very talented man 👍🏼

Great job Darren!

Based on the amount of time, effort and expertise that you’ve put into this, I am amazed you only put a £300 valuation on this… you should frame it and auction it at the V&A…?!

Love the one with the border around it,I’m looking forward to seeing how you make the Finish

My complaint with cheap plane is the steel in the blade, they generally do not hold an edge.

At £10 I could make that work fine with a decent blade. Close the mouth if necessary by moving the frog. Flatten the sole on my edge sander. Most Stanleys have loads of backlash. Sharpen the blade on my Worksharp. In all 30 minutes. Better to work on an old Stanley or make a wooden one with a Veritas hardware kit.

Sometimes you just get lucky with these things. I made a no.3 out of a 99p ebay donor and various spares I had lying around and it's easily my favourite smoother. Good to watch, thank you.

I would expect to spend a couple of hours fettling. Any new plane especially a Stanley. Your one seems to be a very soft casting.

I am watching tool restoration videos since 2020 , especially about planes, and always wondered why isn't anyone using a milling machine.....I can now say that finally someone used common sense. Thanks a lot for this video lad.

Hello from Canada. I really enjoyed your video about making a flat plate. I'm about the make one for hand lapping. Hey'a fr'Can-da. I fasht ur video 'bout makin ' a fl' pleat. I'm ofta make un fer han' lapin'. all kidding aside: keep up the guid werk!!!

With cheaper planes be prepared to lap the sole a second time in a few months. Would be surprised the change as the cast iron really settles.

It’s now a Lie-Darrensson 😂

Great to see the process of fixing this up, learnt a lot more than I was expecting, awesome job man.

Nice work and a great result, shame about the handle though. This will be really helpful to ones who are on a budget but have the time to carry out the work.

Nice work there to improve a bit of crap as you say £10

Nice Job Darren. Ive done 5 Stanleys, no 3 up to number 5 1/2, tedious work but well worth the effort. your Spear and Jackson might improve with a blade upgrade, the steel looked soft. Great video pal, keep up the good work 👋👍

It's a shame to see a nice rosewood handle used on such a low-quality plane, it's an endangered species, there won't be any more Rosewood plane handles for a very long time. Also, applying oil to rosewood spoils its natural beauty and turns it black. Instead, sanding with progressively finer grits and finishing up with ultra-fine wire wool will help the natural oils in the rosewood take on a fine, natural luster. Finally, a few coats of shellac will complete the finish beautifully.

£10 initial purchase plus £100+ in labour and abrasives, if doing it by hand, to make them right. These super cheap Indian planes just aren't worth it.

Try closing the mouth down, by moving the frog closer the toe, and check the cap iron might need reshaping

Hi

Great job Darren

VPI paper is not the same as greaseproof paper

Great job buddy, hard work and patience payed off, shame about the microphone but you rescued the video, time spent in the workshop is always therapeutic even if it’s a long tedious 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Well done, Darren, jings you have some amount of patience. The slips look spot on. Great job 👏 👌

Good job, I'm sure you'll get stick for them not being factory accurate any more but as long as they are accurate enough for what you want to do with them they are fine. I would be tempted to try and get a more accurate micrometer and a known good standard, measure them all and make up a chart with the sizes.

You have made them better than they were when you got them. I call that a good job and as long as you are happy with them seen as how you are the one using them then thats all that matters. Proud of you no matter what

I don't like this at all., I do understand the acid and polishing part but the idea of measuring with a caliper and milling them is just no good.

While you may be able to clean them up you can never make them true.

The funniest moment in my life I was with my brother and our friend was showing off his woodworking project he just finished and he mentioned how the top was perfectly dead flat and me and my brother looked at each other and burst out laughing…. Our family owns a machine shop; I worked there for a few years and my brother made a career out of it…. Him and I have had conversations about measuring and achieving flatness during beer consumption sessions…😂😂😂

Great work!

Nice work, nothing quite so satisfying as making something that you otherwise can’t buy.

Nicely done. Great result.

£400 a pop you should start making them for half the price 😊

its just a knob 🤣🤣🤣

Awesome work, but beware wearing gloves running a lathe almost lost my hand. Luckily I pulled my hand threw a 12 mil nitrile glove to break free, sounded like a gunshot I got away with just a few stitches and lost the feeling in a finger. Thanks for sharing!!

Well done Darren, Pure Class 👏👏👏

I would have howled if at the end you fitted it to a Kia Picanto.

That was mega ! What a talent.

Well done Darren, that looks great and saved you a lot of money.

Why are you afraid to pronounce T? Where do people speak like this? UK or Australia? I'm asking to avoid the country in the future. It rubs me the wrong way

Nice
