When my son was taking high school machine shop he needed a challenging project, so I got him to make me a 1/2 inch cutter for my Stanley #77. With all the complex machining on it he aced the course. And I had a new cutter :)
Now all you need is a vintage tool that turns round dowels into square stock and you'll be all set!
I bought one with12 cutters in their cardboard boxes 30 years ago and paid 85$ for it. My wife wasn’t too pleased. I told her not to worry. I sold it with cutters at a Patina auction for 475, she didn’t question any of my tool purchases again
I keep coming back to your channel for the sheer joy you’re having with all these special tools. And then I stay here for a while watching all the tips ‘n tricks you have to spare with us. Entertaining as always. And so I’m a fan here for years now and still enjoying! Keeping up the works James!
Thanks man. That means a lot. I will keep them coming.
That's the best tool I never needed that I've ever seen. 😂
I have one of these with a 1/2" and a 5/8" cutter. I got it years ago on the cheap. You're right about the cutter prices - $250-$300 each! I can't justify spending another $3000-$4000 to complete the set.
The maniacal laughter is both disturbing and entertaining!
Looks like somone would reproduce these machines. Few people want to make anything of quality any more. The guy who sent you the left hand thread is nice; we need more people in this world who will help others just because they want to.
I have a Lee Valley dowel maker, and a dowel plate that can make short dowels though they won't be straight, but a little crooked makes them better for pegs.
As you get older you get so much out of the simple things the world has to offer. My latest was the angle on a set of ladder shelves. O JOY O JOY . KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING WE ENJOY THEM ALL
he’s so giggly!
thanks for sharing this awesome tool with us.
I have a new old stock one, with 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4" cutters in their box... Gift from my old boss, whose father worked in the Stanley factory in Canada... Got a brand new 55 too... I don't dare use them...
I have a friend who has one of these in mint condition along with all the cutters. It is a hoot to watch it in operation.
Stick some feeler gauges into the gap, get the thickness, sharpen the cutter, and put it back with the same spacer.
Making one off screws like this is my biggest drive to get a small metal lathe.
Never heard of this tool. Looks like something I might need. A quick ebay search brought up a few complete, some with several cutters with bids from $250 to over $1200.
I’ve always just clamped a washer down and smacked a close size square or octagonal ish rod of wood through the hole. It works!
good old dowel plate!
Thanks James so glad a channel viewer was able to help you out!
You were about as excited about that 77 as you were when you received that Roubo book 😁
When you run out of 5/8" dowels, that makes you cranky now.
Funny enough I was just reading Quercus last night and there was an article on the 77.
I love how much you love this completely unnecessary but very neat contraption.
Giddy James is truly the best James.
Seems like a crossover with BlondiHacks should help you make a different size cutter holder, something a touch more useful than 5/8". Just sayin'. I'd love to do it, but I don't have the mill that would be needed. In fact, what the world needs are engineering drawings of these old tools so that they can be recreated by anyone who wishes to...
Quinn @BlondieHacks really should give that a shot, she already made some turning saw hardware for Rex.
Really cool you were able to Frankenstein that thing back to life to make the most expensive dowel on earth! ❤😂 love it!
Wow, you got this made by collecting/acquiring parts? So cool!
Reminds me of that Johnny Cash song about shoplifting a car from an assembly line job: One Piece at a Time
Now I want one!
Since my disabling accident of 2011, I had hunted for as many Unplugged devices and tools as were in Hawaii and in my $ range. I never found a complete set of this dowel maker…
Since needed to move to San Diego, generations of my family tools remained in Hawaii. Time will tell if here in San Diego, I will find replacements to keep me out of trouble and knee deep in saw dust.
My current tool inventory is but an almost empty footlocker verses the 2 overflowing truckloads that I had.
Just to have a fair set of Unplugged Stanley Hand tools again will keep these walls from closing around me in Boring Devices, but alas… even my Brace and Bits missed the boat…
So you made one from bits and parts. That must have been some Easter Egg hunt. Congratulations.🙂🙂
I MUST HAVE THIS THING
I was shocked how expensive these were on EBay & most without cutters. Great video, I never have seen one of these!
Lets see you make a workbench with just your dowel plate that you can make anything you want :) :)
Thanks
I should be good at the snide remarks!
So much fun, turning around and around. Never throw in the towel. It would get stuck! LOL. I love that gadget.
I genuinely love how happy you are playing with that machine. And it does look like a lot of fun.
Hermoso...gracias por la demostración y transmitir la emocion...fanaticos de las herramientas y de los trabajos bien hechos...
Great job. Thank you 😊
Great tool! Congratulations!!!
I wonder how well aluminum would hold up as a cutter head. I see a bunch of power tenoners made out of aluminum. hmm also maybe an avenue to make a replacement head, get a tenoner with a busted shank and cut the threads in the back!
I have a few of the cutters my father bought in a hardware shop in the 60's. Then It was motorized by using a shaft from a 60's IBM hard drive.
You really need to cheer up!
Sometimes a tool that does one thing really well is worth having
First thing I thought when I saw you making the dowel was that it looked like a huge pencil sharpener. 🙂 Very interesting tool, still useful for today's woodworker....Yo, Veritas, you hear that???
Veritas has a dowel maker.
After running a dowel through the maker I like to follow up with the dowel plate, then a fluting tool, makes the dowels as good as store bought
CDB!!! Now I'm part of the comment down below club hahaha. Very cool old tool thanks for sharing with us.
Wonder if someone could "remake" this wonderful tool........
Thanks James! Kid in a Candy Store springs to mind... Take care & stay safe.
Awesome looking tool, James! 😃
It looks like a lot of fun indeed!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Excellent. Glad it finally all came together. 👍
I bet I could make amazing spinning wheel bobbins with that.
If you’re ever bored you could go into spinning wheel repair.
Thanks for sharing that!

super cool! I'm happy for you
Now the hunt continues for more cutters.
Congratulations!❤
Interesting thanks
Cool piece! I hope you can find some more cutters for it at a good price so you can have some more fun.
I see a number 5/8 dowel projects
very cool

CDB!
Amazing
Have you had to sharpen your dowel plate yet? I've used mine for a couple years and it's still working wonderfully.
If I want cleaner dowels from this soft wood I would sharpen it. But for harder woods it does not need to be as sharp
You look so happy
CONGRAT!
Finally we can put Square pegs into round holes
It's a pencil sharpener with connections.
Just don't let the intrusive thoughts win.
Where did you get your dowel plate?
Man, that looks like a giant pencil sharpener!
Almost a smeagol vibe going on
Cool
Yay!!!!!!!
Drooling maker!
How about some history. Why did Stanley make these? Was the target professional finishing shops or what? Thanks.
They made them for anyone who would buy them. Stanley wasn't particularly interested in advertising to one group over another. They were used by a bunch of different people. From professional woodworkers to early furniture manufacturing.
So you can finally put a square peg in a round hole 🤣
5:05 just a thought, but what if you used a dowel you made as a template for the cutter position? Slide the dowel into the hole and place the cutter in position and adjust slightly as needed until it rests properly, then tighten it? Since the cutter cut that dowel, it wouldn't technically be wrong, would it? Kinda like using a gouge to cut a trench into a board so you can put stropping compound on the trench to hone the gouge profile.
that will get you roughly close.
CBD! 😂
I was recently given several older planes one of which is a Stanley # 82 it looks like some type of scraper unfortunately there was no blade in it. Can you tell me what it is and what type of blade I can use.
you can use most any scraper blade. some people make them out of old saw plates. here is a video on it. ruclips.net/video/uFHIBMfpvnk/видео.html
cbd :)
I got around to ya
Happiness!
Is there any wood working tool Stanley DIDN'T make? I mean, seriously - a dowel maker??? :)
Happiness!!!

Unforseen development

Very nice, but it's not painted blue.
What! it's not painted blue?
Super cool machine! I would think for most Stanley planes and parts where they used odd thread pitches it would make sense to drill them out and re-tap them for something more common
Where do you get Filipino Mahogany?
It’s called different things in different places. Here in California we call it red Margeras, I think, is confusing because when i was working with it everyone who came around called it something different, but was definitely a variant of mahogany and from the Philippines. I built 30 decks out of it a few years ago. It was really nice. Was expensive, iirc was over $55,000 in wood.
You can get it at some of the big box stores. I believe Menards carries it in all of theirs.
First?? It shows I am anyway. I'm jealous!
Nice work on first!

Snide remark 😂😂😂😂

More like Drooling Maker
Could you have someone machine the rest of the cutter bits until you could buy/find them? I know it's not original so possibly blasphemy but for use and demonstration purposes?
I could but it would probably end up costing me more to have someone machine than that it would be to buy them. One off machine work is incredibly expensive.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Buy more than singles and sell them, start with the most common size to build up enough money for the others.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo unless you happen to have a friend who really likes to spend time in their machine shop.
can we make a round dowel square????????????

CDB LOL
