I agree, this is not restoration because the product "restored" does not even match the new product manufactured in series. Have you seen plane blades with a mirror polish or molded parts that have been filled with asperities from the molding sand ? No, I do not like and the object has lost its historical value. I do paint restoration, fortunately we do not do so !

On this his videos are absolute masterpieces, honestly I never saw anyone even comparable with him on these aspects.
Wow. As a boy, I found a hand plane very similar to this in my father's tool chest. I played with it and took it apart. This brings back some memories that have been buried for well over 50 years.

But honestly, I love the lathe work the most cause of the precision involved. When he did the antique oil can and was cleaning the inside with the small stones, I just busted up laughing when he taped it to the spindle so it would turn offset!!
I have been a patternmaker for nearly 50 years in many foundries and I have never seen anyone with the breadth of knowledge necessary to accomplish something like this! Thank you so much for your passion for worthwhile things long past!
What I can't understand how so many people dislike this! Fabulous skill and work to bring back to life a totally deteriorated item! It's not a priceless or valuable antique being destroyed, it's restoration of something that many would bin without a thought!
@@derekstocker6661 I think the doubts would come because the final result is entirely different from the original. This process has turned it from a tool into a work of art. I can appreciate that but it does sacrifice some of the authenticity of the object being 'restored'.

@@mickavellian I had the same thoughts. I fix everything and make some things but my main tool is a wood lathe, I actually think I love my lathe more than any tool I've ever used... point is I don't have to sand a lot or for that long and still I am lazy... then I watch this. It's fine craftsmanship, patience too, more than I have sadly. Love this channel.
As a woodworker I really love planes and restoring them, never seen the disassembly of a transitional plane, I loved it, but I have three observations to make 1.- Stanley Irons do have the hole to the front, no it is not convenient, and I dont know why they did it like that when other plane makers did it with the hole to the back, so the iron might be original 2.- the plane body was bone dry, it needed to soak in linseed oil before putting varnish 3.- older stanley planes did not use black paint, they used japanning wich is a lot more durable but it is a pain to put in place Really enjoyed this restoration! Loved the detail of using dowels of the same wood, even though they would not be seen, hope that you enjoy the vice that is hand planing. If it jams, it is probably because the chip beaker needed to be rectified, it is an easy fix
@@caribmedical57 japanning is a type of finish done with asphaltum, and it is cooked in an oven. Hand tool rescue has done some nice videos explaining it

Excellent Job! I live and grew up 10 minutes from Stanley HQ and have many of their antique tools that were passed down to me. This hits close to home and I wish my father was still alive to see this restoration. Bravo sir!!
I swear that plane didn't leave the original factory in that brilliant a condition. Let's face it, guys: There is only one master of restoration channels and that's right here. Period.
What I've learned from watching these: 1. All edges get broken 2. All holes get a bevel 3. All hardware gets a mirror finish 4. All casting marks get removed
@Jane Marsee I believe that every healthy person can learn every skill that does not involve super strength or super intelligence etc. to a good enough degree if we just keep doing it. I love to take apart stuff I don't need anymore and put it back together, to see how it works. Sometimes I even manage to repair something.
In case you were curious, the black finish on the original hand plane wasn't paint, but actually a process called 'japanning.' It's a mixture of turpentine, boiled linseed oil, and powdered asphaltum that's baked onto the tool. Basically, the powder coat of its day.
This is such a fine job. Transitionals are not easy, and there are a lot of purists who have very specific thoughts. This was such an over the top, and yet and incredibly respectful job.
@@lady_sir_knight3713 Transitional Planes, which are the type of wood plane featured in this video (those with a metal frame component and a wooden sole). Companies started making them as a compromise between the traditional planes that, minus the blade, were made entirely from wood, and the modern metal planes that we see today. If memory serves, they're referred to as "transitional" because when the idea of a metal plane first came about, it was met with a large amount of skepticism because 'metal doesn't glide as easily over wooden workpieces as wood does' - or at least that was the popular opinion. So they made these as a way to market the improved adjustability of the metal plane, while still keeping the wooden sole of the planes for that smooth glide that the woodworkers were looking for at the time. These slowly faded away and gave rise to the fully metal planes that are most popular today.
You mentioned in the description about not being a woodworker. You might enjoy watching Thomas Johnson's YT channel. He is an antique furniture restorer, and he is almost as good with wood and tiny details as you are with metal. He also makes new parts as needed. You both do excellent work.
This is not just restoration. I call this being able to travel back in time to see all the craftsmanship that used to go into making this stuff. You begin to appreciate all the hard work and the skill that went into making things before machines took over. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this experience.👌🏼
I am so happy about this video! It hit all the great buttons for me; a new technique learned, a workaround for a stuck part, mirrored parts, machined parts, sandblasting, and your willingness to try to fix something outside of your normal scope! It is just a ballet of ingenious fixing! I also noticed a new painting set-up, which I hope you have found better than your old system! Thank you so much to a great video (any video from you is great!), on a bad week of my own, the week is looking so much better now! (This is why I'm a Patreon member!)
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate your support and your kind words. I had a lot of trouble with bad spray cans, so i decided to ask my friend to spray it professionally, maybe i'll keep that for future projects. Painting is my least favourite part of the restoration process.
I kind of liked the old rattlecan stuff! It always came out great!! The new way had the parts bouncing around a lot, which could cause runs or flaws in the paint.
my mechanics Same here on building the robot puppets from MST3K I make, props, or models. I have a severe hand tremor problem which makes it even worse. I’m going to try my shaky hand at air brushing soon to see if that helps.
Every time I watch one of these at the beginning of like oh yeah this is not going to turn out that great I don't know what he's going to do with this. By the end I'm like good God that is a museum-quality piece of equipment that has not only been restored but is more than likely better than the day it came off the factory floor. This is the FINAL word in restoration channels. Simply amazing!
My great-grandfather and my grandfather were both carpenters and woodworkers. The old Stanley tools were really works of industrial art in their own way. I still have some of their tools that are my treasures. Wonderful to see the care and craftsmanship that you display in your restorations.
I have seen several of this mans videos, he is skilled but not does not preserve the artifacts....Only makes new parts....Like in this video he made a new blade and such...That is destruction not restoration...
@@bretoneill6624 on the other hand he puts ar least ten times more of work than it is worth. That's several days work if not up to a week for something he will never get paid for. Would you pay a thousand dollars for that hand tool? That’s about as much worth as the work he put in to it. This is not about restoration, this is art. This is true craftsmanship on a level very seldom seen today for the exact reasons I stated, because we live in a time where it's much cheaper to buy something new than to restore the old.
Well, I have no idea just how I got here...I'm a 60yr old woman who started out looking at handicrafts, yet here I am lol. So very glad I got here, what a fab video. I was totally mesmerized every second of this transformation. Who knew? Thanks
I'm so excited, making myself a sandwich and then I'm going to enjoy this. Honestly, this is better than Game of Thrones. Or anything else you can watch.
He does although this isn’t one of the better examples. As he admits, he is not a woodworker and that plane is not adjusted properly and it’s not sharp enough. He has done a beautiful job of this restoration but it still needs a little bit more work to turn it into a tool.
I discovered restoration channels with your channel... all the other ones makes me feel uncomfortable with the mechanicals choices. You are definitely and by far the best restoration channel. I would enjoy soooooo much that you make more videos !
I also restore planes and love giving them another 100 or so years of life ... however ... they never look quite this good when done. For a plane like the 122 Liberty Bell, nothing less than perfection would do it justice, and you've done it justice. Absolutely beautiful work, you should be proud!!
7:35 My first thought: Please make an additional one.....and he did it!!! He did made an additional notch!!! This was so satisfying to watch it! Your work is always a pleasure to watch!
some pieces, restoring them removes a lot of the history and character accumulated over time. some are so damaged theyve already lost it. i think this is one that absolutely benefits from this type of masterful restoration to a better than brand new condition. well done
Reminded me of seeing my Dad use his father’s hand plane so many times. It looked old and rusty but it worked perfectly. Tools were made to last in those days.
Пожалуй лучший реставратор! Очень щепетильный подход к деталям, опрятная мастерская, хорошая техническая оснащенность, -интересно созерцать этот процесс. Полировка особенно досталяет!
Wonderful. I hope somebody shared this with the people at Stanley tools. Probably can't be many Liberty Bell hand planers left in existence, and I'd be willing to bet those that are don't look anywhere as nice as this restoration. =)
Working on my 7th decade. My father was a master carpenter, back when such things mattered. He had a plane just like that, well in better condition, he took excellent care of his tools. He said they were his livelihood and they needed to be treated with care. My brother has them now and although he doesn't use them, he takes excellent care of them.
Amazing tip I just recently learned on the remove of rusty fasteners. Automatic Transmission Fluid and Acetone mixture, put it in a sealed oiler can to prevent the acetone from evaporating. Penetrates and loosens even the rustiest stuff in like minutes. It's crazy.
Oh man! All it needs is some japanning! These are tough to restore as sanding the bottom opens the mouth of the plane and makes it more difficult to take finer shavings. Nice work!
Oh man the 2 best restorers on all of RUclips! Between the 2 of you, I've been inspired to not just get my old craftsman monotube lathe running, but pretty and shiny as well. You guys should do a collab video. Hand Tool Rescue restores an old, metal tool and then My Mechanics copies it and "makes a new one".
Hand Tool Rescue Too be totally honest, in practice mouth size is unimportant. Sharpness is what gives you a 1/4 thou shaving, not how tight the mouth is. I make planes, infills etc, but I learned the craft by tuning hundreds of Beech moulding and bench planes. If I sharpen well, it could have 1/8 inch mouth, you’ll still get a transparent shaving. Mouth size is like people’s slavish pursuit of brands, it makes little difference to the end result.
Holy Cow!!! at 6:12 that is the best clever way to use leverage that I have seen in a long time. You are REALLY REALLY good, I love all of your videos.
Люблю смотреть такие видосы. У автора терпения хоть отбавляй ибо одну такую деталь не за один день явно это делает... Этот надо каждой детали, болтику, шурпчику всю душу отдать чтобы так красиво получилось. Автору респект, молодец знает свое дело
I really like the format of no annoying music, no chatter, just the sound of a master craftsman working with his tools
By far the best restauration Channel. You show the good parts at normal speed instead of just speeding up everything.
Just great work as always
Thank you very much :-) I'm glad you like it
jonas3112 is it just me or is the sand blasting the most satisfying?
By "the good parts" you mean sandblasting, amirite!
For me i find the lathe turning and Emery clothe is the most satisfying
@@mymechanics Everybody is saying that the part that you said was not original had 'Stanley' on it. Was it for sure not original to this plane?
This man doesn’t do restorations. He turns mass produced products into one-of-a-kind museum quality pieces.

Your restoration work is a Work of Art! I was left in awe after watching the whole process! Thank you very much!
Thanks a lot for watching :-)
This guy is the Leonardo da Vinci of restoration, everything he does is a damn work of art!!!!!
& so satisfying to watch 😳😳😃😃😃🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻
guys
I also restore planes and love giving them another 100 or so years of life ... however ... they never look quite this good when done.
For a plane like the 122 Liberty Bell, nothing less than perfection would do it justice, and you've done it justice.
Absolutely beautiful work, you should be proud!!
It just wouldn't be the same without the immortal words " I'LL JUST MAKE A NEW ONE" :)
Metal Micky especially in a society that nowadays use the “we will just buy a new one”
I make a new one
I can not imagine that it looked any better the day it was made. Beautifully done!
"The bell is cracked. I make a new one."
Honestly, he could fix the liberty bell
Quality.
noice
@@coltafanan I would love to see that happen.
Exactly what I was thinking...either that or he was going to weld it!
I can’t be the only one who’s thought,
I need a sand blaster in my life.
😂
I was about to make a similar comment. I’d love to have one of those sandblasters.

My motto wouldn’t be
“I’ll make a new one!”
It would be
“That needs cleaning!!”
😂
When I initially read it I thought it said “ I need a sand blaster for my wife” and I thought they won’t do that sort of swap
Fantabulous! Every piece u make is pure art.
I would love this guy’s whole workshop to be fair!
The My Mechanics guy about once a month:
- There has not been a new video for a while...
... I make a new one.
I I like how he always gets the plans for how his subject is assembled and a list of parts. He’s so smart.
Thanks for watching
Awesome videos. The format is excellent and you work to such a high standard. Thank you for doing what you do.
7:35 My first thought: Please make an additional one.....and he did it!!! He did made an additional notch!!! This was so satisfying to watch it! Your work is always a pleasure to watch!
I'm actually surprised that the caster didn't make that extra notch.Fixed!
The missing notch was there to keep track of the position of the plate.
@@Davemte34108 Oh,wow! Thanks!
At one point I thought you would "make a new one" ... Yet you didn't. Then... You did. I am satisfied lol
Bet it was the shaft with the messed up slot :-)
Exactly!
@@mymechanics spot on!
I just lovo how he just knows everything about every piece he restores... so much dedication to the research
"I make a new one" Yeees love it :D
I was getting worried, but finally, @11:10, there it was.
„One more thing“
@@ArKritz84 exactly :) I thought that it was going to be the cross pin that didn't want to unscrew. Ah but no, new blade. Awesome
My Mechanics: “I make a new one”
Me: “I make a smile :)”
My smile is broken, i make a new one
Your attention to all details is so satisfying to watch. Even the sound of the tools you are working with is close to perfection!
some pieces, restoring them removes a lot of the history and character accumulated over time. some are so damaged theyve already lost it. i think this is one that absolutely benefits from this type of masterful restoration to a better than brand new condition. well done
Mother Nature: mankind has destroyed Earth. It's no longer livable.
My Mechanics: I make new one.
This is best joke what i ever seen.
I laugh every time he puts that on screen. This is why.

Antique ruined planet restoration
This human is broken, i make a new one.
Reminded me of seeing my Dad use his father’s hand plane so many times. It looked old and rusty but it worked perfectly. Tools were made to last in those days.
Пожалуй лучший реставратор! Очень щепетильный подход к деталям, опрятная мастерская, хорошая техническая оснащенность, -интересно созерцать этот процесс. Полировка особенно досталяет!
соглашусь!
Wonderful. I hope somebody shared this with the people at Stanley tools. Probably can't be many Liberty Bell hand planers left in existence, and I'd be willing to bet those that are don't look anywhere as nice as this restoration. =)
my favorite... sand blasting and "I make a new one"...
He just loves to make new ones specially bolts and screws 😂😂👍🏻
"I clean the parts in the... *parts cleaner"*
Ey he's not wrong, that IS kinda what that thing is... I guess lol

Dude, i'm a gunsmith in training and i have to say there's nothing more satisfying than taking off a screw that was stuck.
Somewhere, probably in Heaven, some old toolmaker is appreciating you.
So am I 😊
There's wifi in heaven?
@@karozans If there isn't I want no part in it.
Working on my 7th decade. My father was a master carpenter, back when such things mattered. He had a plane just like that, well in better condition, he took excellent care of his tools. He said they were his livelihood and they needed to be treated with care. My brother has them now and although he doesn't use them, he takes excellent care of them.
Amazing tip I just recently learned on the remove of rusty fasteners. Automatic Transmission Fluid and Acetone mixture, put it in a sealed oiler can to prevent the acetone from evaporating. Penetrates and loosens even the rustiest stuff in like minutes. It's crazy.
It is inspiring to see the care, precision, and attention to detail that you put into your work. Great job!
That quenching process was neat. I've never seen a RUclipsr do that.
Note: I'm not a Craftsman in any way.
They come in as rusty relics and leave as works of art.
Beautiful restoration..
Oh man! All it needs is some japanning! These are tough to restore as sanding the bottom opens the mouth of the plane and makes it more difficult to take finer shavings. Nice work!
Oh man the 2 best restorers on all of RUclips! Between the 2 of you, I've been inspired to not just get my old craftsman monotube lathe running, but pretty and shiny as well. You guys should do a collab video. Hand Tool Rescue restores an old, metal tool and then My Mechanics copies it and "makes a new one".
Hand Tool Rescue I was thinking about the japanning instead of painting...and was thinking specifically your tests you did on recreating japanning.
And a coat of shellac.
No one is going to use it for serious work, probably not even work.
Hand Tool Rescue Too be totally honest, in practice mouth size is unimportant. Sharpness is what gives you a 1/4 thou shaving, not how tight the mouth is. I make planes, infills etc, but I learned the craft by tuning hundreds of Beech moulding and bench planes. If I sharpen well, it could have 1/8 inch mouth, you’ll still get a transparent shaving. Mouth size is like people’s slavish pursuit of brands, it makes little difference to the end result.
Compressed air to deeper the glue : really good idea !
Suction cups work the same way for smaller DIY projects!

Blew my mind...and I love the idea!
Руки у мастера просто золотые, в каждом видео, на выходе, произведение искусства, смотрю все видео с удовольствием!
Согласен на все 100!
I really enjoy and admire the work and especially without unnecessary narration and annoying background music. Thank you.
I know a lot of woodworkers who would love to have that sitting in their shop... Including me. Fantastic job.
"This piece is missing"
Me: "YAY!!!"
Was about to comment the same... 😆
I anxiously await your videos. I’m glad to see a new one. Thank you!
There's nothing quite as satisfying as taking an old item and fixing it up to where it looks new again! Beautiful work!
You are the best. Real Asmr, is so relaxing.
Holy Cow!!! at 6:12 that is the best clever way to use leverage that I have seen in a long time.
You are REALLY REALLY good, I love all of your videos.
mymechanics: "The head of one screw is broken"
me: "Yeeeeessss dooooo it do it do it!!!"
mymechanics: "I'm replacing them"
me: "Awwww..."
I was looking forward to that too. At least he took the zinc coating off and made them shine.
I thought I was the only one who felt like this at that point lol
@@dryananderson is that the only reason he took the zinc off? I didn't know if it was aesthetics or some practical reason.

Ну ювелирная работа! 🤩 Мы так по вам скучали😭 !!!!! / Well, jewelry work! 🤩 We missed you so much 😭 !!!!!
Люблю смотреть такие видосы. У автора терпения хоть отбавляй ибо одну такую деталь не за один день явно это делает... Этот надо каждой детали, болтику, шурпчику всю душу отдать чтобы так красиво получилось. Автору респект, молодец знает свое дело
