Thank you for taking the time to watch this video! This channel covers woodworking projects, tool restoration, furniture restoration and basically tinkering in the garage. If that sounds like something you would be interested in, I would appreciate it if you subscribe to my channel. Either way, thanks for stopping by!
I'm so glad I watched this, thanks so much. I just got this exact plane in about the same condition and was just going to get it running but now I'm going to completely redo it.
This was a lot of fun to do and I was really happy with the result. Glad to hear you want to give it a shot as well! It's a great feeling taking something that is worn/rusty and making to shine again!
You have a type 8 stanley router plane. Have one exactly the same. It's supposed to be nickel plated. Only the really early ones were japanned black. The sole does not have to be perfectly flat or totally unpitted since its just used to straddle over a lower area like a rebate, dado etc. If you make an auxiliary sole to make a bigger sole then it doesn't matter anyway. I like the router plane, cool tool. 😀
I've recently inherited a Stanley 71 and am looking to restore this to a usable condition. You explained that you retapped some of the holes in your plane. Could I trouble you for the size of tap you used? Thank you kindly for a very educational and informative video.
Hopefully I'm answering this correctly. The thumb screws have 28 threads per inch. The longer threaded rod where you make your depth adjustments has 24 threads per inch. The wire brush for cleaning those holes didn't quite clear things out, or some of the threads may have been dinged up or had too much rust, so I ran the tap in there to clear it all out. No more sticking when turning the thumbscrews of using the depth adjustment. Thank for watching, it's very appreciated!
I have an old Stanley 71-1/2 router plane. Is the base suppose to be perfectly flat? Mine curves up a little on each end. I'm wondering if it's warped.
It depends on what you mean by curves up a little on each end. It should be mostly flat but not completely flat. About 1/8"-1/4" around the perimeter of mine curves up slightly (the rest is dead flat). This is to prevent having sharp/flush corners that might dig into the wood. Having the slightest curve or bevel on the edges keeps the plane moving smoothly as it rides up over tiny little imperfections in the wood. Hope this helps!
Thanks, appreciate the comment. Had this same question a few months ago, so I have the answer at hand! The thumb screws have 28 threads per inch. The longer threaded rod where you make your depth adjustments has 24 threads per inch. Working on a few new videos at the same time over here....long story, but hopefully will have them ready soon.
Just picked up my 71 the other day. It's missing a knob, so I get to re-inforce my skills as a turner :). Thank you for your steps you showed as I'm doing about the same. Just curious, what grit of sandpaper did you use to flatten the sole?
The sole gave me some fits because there was a little bit of pitting that I had to work down to. That blue sandpaper in the video is actually 240 grit, which is pretty fine, but got it cleaned up enough for me to get a good look at things. Because of the pits, I ended up doing it again starting with going from an aggressive 80 grit, then working my way up to 320. Had those pits not been there, it would have been a simpler task and they were only in one small area of the sole. Unfortunately, you want to keep that sole flat, so that meant I had to do the entire sole with the aggressive grits and work my way up from there. No sense in trying to get a mirror finish since the sole is going to be getting a lot of contact with surfaces when using it. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for stopping by. Turning a new knob should be a fun project!
Yes, Rustoleum automotive primer and black. For the 207 bench drill video I used black paint used on engine blocks. I believe the brand was Dupli-color. It was the blackest paint I could find that matched the japanning of the bench drill. Had I known about that stuff when I did this router plane, I might have given that a try instead. Thanks for commenting!
Thank you! I appreciate it. I have a new video coming out, hopefully in the next week or two. I went a little overboard on it, but I think it will be very interesting!

Looks great
might do.mine now
Just used it today to clean some table saw blade dadoes
Thank you, much appreciated!
Great job! Thanks for the lesson.
That's nice. Worth their weight in gold these router planes.
Yes they are. It's one of those tools that you buy whenever you see one - even if you already have it.

Very nice restore. Beautiful tool.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I did the same with mine. I look for reasons to use it. And if I don’t find any I make a reason to get it out. 😂 enjoyed the video. Happy woodworking!
Ha! Same here. Any excuse to use it! Thanks for the comment and I appreciate you stopping by.
Great lesson also.
Thank you!
I got a new one about 25 years ago.A useful tool for a lot of things.
Definitely one of the top 5 tools I love in my shop. Wish I got to use it more often.

@@thetinkersshop543 Thanks. I'll watch your videos.
You made a brilliant job of it, looks amazing well done , from a vintage Carpenter in England 🇬🇧 👏 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you, I appreciate that. I'm always learning and these smaller ones help build up my confidence to try bigger things.💪

Thank you, much appreciated! Currently working on the next one.

Никакого уважения к старине и патине. Главное для сороки, чтобы сверкало и блестело как у кота яйца. Испортил антикварный инструмент.....
