Dave, I look forward to your videos and appreciate all the information and history you provide. I was given a Millers Falls recently and will be cleaning and tuning it up soon. Thanks for the video. Cute dog too, love those eyes.
Great video Dave, I’m just beginning my foray into hand tool collecting/use and appreciate all the info you provide. I’ve shied away from anything not Stanley since I’m still learning what planes/tools are good quality and what to look for. Beautiful pup and thanks again for the vid!
Just bought some old Stanley planes, #4 and 5. Guy gave me an old Miller Falls plane that was horribly rusted. Took the tote and knob off, dropped it into rust remover..Cleaned it all up and sharpened the blade. Works great. Now I have to walk through the features you talk about and see exactly what I have.
By far the best explanations of MF types ive seen/heard! Im excited for tune up. Particularly interested in seeing your treatment of the tote/knob. Great Video dave!
Enjoy the history lesson as you explore. Hoping you find the time to show the restore of the plane as I would enjoy that but more so, looking to learn when to not do something as opposed to when to do something. Thanks.
I’m restoring 2 Millers Falls Planes very soon, the one unboxed in this video and a Type 1 No 37 block plane. Both will be out after the first of the year. Thanks for watching.
I gotta ask, as you're going down the features of the type 1 versus the type 2, you keep mentioning that this plane has type 1 parts all over, but every instance where it could be a type 2, it still has type 1 features. So, why do you think its an early type 2?
All type 1’s have the name Millers Falls cast into the toe around the knob. The early type 2’s will have some features of a type 1 without the Millers Falls casting on the toe.

Tune up coming soon! Thanks for watching…
Love the Millers Falls - tuned up they work great. Yup we got brush wolfs sing here too.
Every night the coyotes start their hunt and make a ruckus, poor Reba doesn’t like it! Thanks for watching.
I'd be interested to see you restore this plane or another Millers Falls plane

Getting lost seems to be common practice for StL post hub. It’s been happening to me a lot lately. 🤷♂️
Millers are my favorite
