Ive been missing this guy also I had feared something bad happened. I had searched for his channel from time to time and couldn't find it. It seemed like he deleted it. Today an old video showed up in recommended and I got very excited. Do you know if he removed his channel for a while or was I just to dumb to find it?
Dripfree FPV I don’t think you’re too dumb the same thing g happed to me. This channel just showed up in my recommended videos a few days ago and it didn’t dawn on me who it was. I had subscribed to him before and had some of his videos saved to watch later and they disappeared. I thought he was back then realized it’s just old videos ???
@@corydriver7634 Thats what I thought happened. Ive been going through some of his old videos a second time. The fact that the old videos showed back up gives me hope that he may be planning a return. I just hope everything is ok with him. I have a feeling he ran into some hard times and just had to bail on his channel for a bit. He seems like such a good man and I wish him well. Even if he cant return we are lucky to have his old videos back.
Dripfree FPV I agree. What doesn’t make sense was he (or someone) took down his channel and his eBay account, everything was gone in the same day I guess. Two years ago when the YT channel went away I didn’t notice it until I realized he hadn’t posted in a while, then when I searched for it I couldn’t find it. At that point I did a few internet searches and found conversion threads on tool forums where a guy said he’d emailed him and was told he was ok and taking a break for a while. Two years was a long break so I kinda forgot about it and was shocked when the old videos reappeared. 🤞 fingers crossed.
Hey Keith! I hope all is well. I just noticed your channel came back up. Does this mean you will be making more videos? (I hope so) This is one of my favorite channels.
What a cool artifact. For roofing, the only possible use for the plane is easing the fit of a tight shingle, and it doesn't take a lot of time with a hatchet to master that task without the plane. Like a lot of inventions, it was a clever answer to a question that nobody was asking. The blade adjustment was impressively simple and effective though, and you don't really need a fancy lever cap for taking off skinny bits of cedar. Thanks for featuring such an oddball!
OldWhitebelly It was probably more commonly used for cedar siding, it looks pretty awkward to use, it probably wasn't a very popular tool cause it would have to replace a block plane which was/is commonly used. It looks poorly designed too, like if the bevel was pointed down towards the handle it would likely be less awkward and easier to use. Cool tool though.
You can't imagine how much I missed you, so glad to see all your priceless content again, you did so well to many with your amazing content, couldn't be happier, thank you.
Just saw your videos are available again! Are you back? Will there be more? Missed you! Still using techniques learned from you from years ago. Have a Merry Christmas!
Honestly it looks like it could make a nice combination tool for reclaiming wood from junked furniture. The addition of the plane to the axe/hammer would save time in inspecting for solid wood vs manmade boards without digging too deep into the surface. Plus it looks like a lot less to have jangling about it in the box/belt.
Interesting combi-tool! Part of me wants to say that it would be better if the plane part was set up like a pull plane to keep the handle from knocking into the workpiece/shingle. Like you can hold onto the hammerhead and handle to pull while using the handle as a kind if rudder to steer it
Nice to see you use your other tools. As for that funky thing, It looks crude/coarse, don't know I'd wanna use it as as a striking tool if I planned on planing, and the handle affixment is just odd. Thx for sharing even the weird odd things. (my opinion dont mean shit)
We have lots of stuff going on in real life. It took lots of time and effort on top of a full time job and also a family to take care of, so he didn’t have the time. He will continue again some day!
@@amberbradfield4275 Thank You for checking in. I’m sure I’m not the only who was concerned. Be well and hope to see Keith back again someday. We miss his talent and sense of humor.
Good find from the pile. It looks neat but you lost me halfway through. As someone who only values usable tools (collectibility means little to me), I lost interest when I saw lacquer go on the handle. You turned it into a blister-maker! My experience with wood handles tells me it needs an OIL or WAX finish. BLO, Danish, Tung, Beeswax or Paste wax, or a combination wax over oil. Lacquer or varnish are no-noes.
Just discovered this channel and I think it's fantastic. I hope he'll start making videos again.
thanks for bringing your videos back, the information is priceless. hope to see new videos soon.
come back, man, we miss you

Thanks for putting the videos back up! Love your channel m8! Hope all is going well and that you're still able 2 make vids!
Hey Dad! You should go back to making videos. Like this comment if you think he should too!
Keith is okay? Alive and well?
Anxiously awaiting the triumphant return of our original hand tool hero.
Boy, do I miss this channel and your eBay store. I sure hope you come back Keith.
Hahahaha, this is like my Kitchen-aid, chainsaw/drill/mixer/boat anchor

I wish I'd had one of those for all the red cedar shingles I've installed over my career! That is super cool!
I'm so incredibly happy that these videos are back and viewable! Best source of information on old tools out there!
Thanks for the years of great content. Hope you’re doing well.
Just saw your videos are available again! Are you back? Will there be more? Missed you! Still using techniques learned from you from years ago. Have a Merry Christmas!
Hope Keith is well
That was different. Nice job on the handle. I like seeing you use your tools to make things.
You never cease to amaze us with what that pile of yours produces. This was a fun one...
Cool change of pace! What a weird tool, haha.
Neat multi purpose tool . Fun to watch.
Did the Plane Collector go to the big restoration depot in the sky?
Thats one Crazy piece of hand tool!
Honestly it looks like it could make a nice combination tool for reclaiming wood from junked furniture. The addition of the plane to the axe/hammer would save time in inspecting for solid wood vs manmade boards without digging too deep into the surface. Plus it looks like a lot less to have jangling about it in the box/belt.
thats perfect, I have had that prob many times,
Thanks for sharing and doing the research.
Interesting combi-tool!

That's a fantastic looking tool :) Beautifully restored as usual :) ॐ

I guess you are done. Hope everything is well with you.
WERRY INTERESTING DOC.
Anybody know what happened to him? Kinda confused his YT channel was gone for the longest time now it’s back with his old videos.
We have lots of stuff going on in real life. It took lots of time and effort on top of a full time job and also a family to take care of, so he didn’t have the time. He will continue again some day!

Keith, really miss your content. Ready to come back yet?

Anyone know where Keith has been lately? I havent seen any new videos and his ebay page doesnt seem to exist.
Hi Keith, trying to get a copy of your "The Stanley Plane Collector's Checklist and Value Guide" do you have them up anywhere for sale?
Unrelated to this video, but where do you source your sanding/polishing sticks?
Would think if you hit a nail with that hammer the head would go into orbit!🤔🤔🤔🤔
Do you still have your eBay store?
Apparently not.
Neat!
You didn't test drive the hammer function to see if it passes the test. ha
SHINGLERS SCRUB AXE 🪓?
yes, everyone on a ladder, or roof is going to carry a vice, etc.
Nice vid brother. I sent you an email, take a peek? 🙏
Did he die?
Jeesh I hope not
I heard somewhere a hiatus. I hope he is well.
