This plane is a type 17 wartime issue ! the bolts holding the tote and knob definitely are, bit of a mixture of parts on this plane which tended to happen during the war, the black on the furniture was paint the same as my No3.
Nice video! Can’t wait to get mine (still waiting, from eBay/UK). My first plane was a “new” (plastic handles, China made) #4 I got a few months ago. Loved it actually, until… …I got a #6 type15 a few weeks ago. I was so impressed with it’s quality over the new #4 I got from Home Depot, that I returned the #4 and wanted to replace it w a vintage version. So, found & bought a #4-1/2 type19 on eBay last week. (I went with a #6 instead of a #5 for my 2nd plane, as I was worried a #5 would be too similar to the #4, and I might just end up using the #5 all the time and never the #4 anymore… a waste. So, I thought a #6 would be a better difference and pairing to a #4… I can use as a truing, flattening and small-jointer plane, while the #4-1/2 as a smoother. Additionally, #6 are much cheaper than a #7.)
Thanks for the comment. I have used them and you're right. To me the 2 most important things are sharpness and weight. Here are some video I've done on the number 6 and 7.

Thank you for the comment. I'm thinking more like a type 16. (see Time Tested Tools web site for description.) I never know about the tote wood, could have been replaced before I acquired the plane. Thanks for watching.
No, this is a type 17 Wartime plane - the single piece steel knob amd tote screw, along with the hardwood furniture indicates that type. That also explains the weight, castings were heavier during wartime production.
maybe I'm just a crank, but I'd prefer to see 25% of the process plus the end point at 1.0x speed than watch the whole process at 4x speed. It hurts my head.
Thank you for the comment. I'm definitely a novice at this. Sometimes I have to slow down the videos I watch but most of the time I watch at 1.5 or 2X. I'll try the less is more idea on an upcoming video. Thanks again for watching.
@@makingthings1463personally, I like the way you've been doing your videos. There's more and more people getting interested in restoring hand planes to different degrees and I think the way you're showing your process can help others restore their planes back to working condition. I do my planes similar to you style. The main thing I do differently is, I don't polish the brass or other hardware. But I appreciate all different types of plane restorations. Keep doing what you're doing 👍😎🤠🇺🇸
That looks like an issued USAFA sweatshirt from the 90s. I still have one myself. Classic.
Good eye. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for the comment. I hope you enjoy using these old hand tools.
Thanks for watching.
She is a pretty beast!
Thank you for the comment. Beast is the word. But when it's sharp and waxed up it's a pleasure to use. Thanks again for watching.
If you have ever used a #6 or # 7 you get a good example of how a heaveyer plain will bulldoze through with eez

Wooden handle is made of walnut or oak? This is type 19?

Looks alot like the "hardwood" maybe beech that I have on my Made In England 4 1/2.@@makingthings1463
