Video

Hey mate, love ur videos, im a woodworking beginner but am fascinated with planes, unfortunately in my country Colombia there is no much market and is hard to buy an old one in good condition, so i've bought some of them in USA, what kinda cleaner u used first?

Millers falls when fettled properly beat lie Nielsen on quality and bite.

And then, there is the owner that has wooden planes, antique planes and modern very expensive planes like the owner of this channel 😂

I have a no 3 with all signs of it being a type 16 except the patent no on the lever cap. There are no signs at all on the back of the lever cap. On the iron it has the patent no.

They are beautiful. He makes a difficult job look easy.

I'm a noob and used vinegar a couple years back. Whoops. Is the damage done or should I do something to neutralize it?

Great information. Thank you.

I do like your channel a lot and am about to buy my first hand plane from you. That being said, if you aren't supposed to rest your hand plane on the sole or the side then how are you supposed to rest it? Great content and keep up the great work. Stay safe and have fun 💯😁

Great video, thank you! I am looking to get my first hand plane from you in fact. You have taught me a bit, I've learned a lot from Rex Kruegers videos about fixing and using them. You showed me a bit about buying them and what to watch out for so a big thank you for that. You have definitely earned a like and a subscription for the fact that you are helping people find good quality hand planes. I will also be purchasing soon and I will let you know my thoughts and experiences with it but I'm guessing I will be happy with it based on how helpful you are in your videos. Stay safe and have fun 💯😁

I use a 50/50 mix of ATF/Acetone - best penetrating oil there is, then I use a brass brush by hand to clean up the threads like you said. 👍

Cool tools. Question -why do many of the old planes have specks of white paint? I can’t recall ever being in a situation where I’m painting while planing with a number 4. I could see how a block plane might get paint specks, but not a smoother.

Love my no.60 chisels!

Thanx for the video M J , question where can one find online auctions ?????

That Kennedy /Gerstner style chest at the end, and its contents were well worth the video, on their own. I did really like that Millers Falls No. 7, however. I probably can't afford it

Hello, I just stumbled across your video and I'm wondering how much would a #4 Stanley plane be, nothing special just a decent one. I would like to get one with frog adjustment. I don't live in an area where they are easily found, i don't think. I don't want a harbor freight one either but I don't want to have to pay a lot. Do you have something I'm looking for around the $30 to $40 range or am I being delusional. I'm just getting into hand planes and I want to use it not collect them. I know I would have to pay for shipping too. What can you tell me please sir?

Nice video! Almost as satisfying as buying them myself! 😂

You kept calling it a machinist's box even though from the moment you showed the top section, I suspected it was a patternmaker's box because of the trammels, the surface gauge, the router plane, and what looks like the head to a panel gauge. The pinch dogs were another clue. Bent shank chisels and gouges, another clue. I could go on and some could argue that these are all tools common in one way or another to general woodworking, but the cinch was the fillet irons. The "miniature dumbbells" as you called them. Of course, eventually you stated that it was a patternmaker's chest, but it was fun watching you go through it.

What are you asking for the #12 scraper plane?

Nice haul, how long do you give your patrons to see if they buy something and do you have a price on the router yet?

cool beans

Fun, fun, FUN!! Love these types of videos!

Great Haul and video. On the wooden molding planes what markers are they. I collect Cincinnati Ohio plane makers. Let me know if you have any and the price. They should be stamped on the front Thanks Sean

Hello MJ, still waiting on the next Lie Nielsen flipping video. Keep up the great work! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Got a real type fifteen for 10 bucks with some files as well has a broke tote and is kind of roughish but I cleaned it up and it work wonderfully best plane I have by far

You’re a cheeky guy.

LN doesn't have any advantages against a tuned Stanley. I think as long as you take care of the grey cast iron on the Stanley's, they are lighter and work better than the LN.

Ummm .....nice forehead and shirt collar....i guess ?!!!

As a rule of thumb, once that I have decided to buy a tool (power or hand) in an estate sale, always spent a bit of time to look for accessories that might go with the tool! Tell the salespeople that "it goes with the tool" and they will likely let you have it. I haven't gotten a refusal yet.

Awesome information, and I look forward to browsing through some of your other videos. I heard you mention the type 11 planes often, and it appears that you had a number of them on the bench in front of you. Is there something special about the type 11 planes that you like or dislike? Is there a particular type of the Bailey & Stanley planes that you prefer to collect and/or use?

I had one that was completely seized, wouldn’t move whatsoever in or out, so I sprayed it with some penetrating oil, let it soak overnight, and then taped some leather strips to the jaws of some channel locks, worked great to grip the brass tightly without marring it at all.

so, one thing I’ve been curious about, I recently picked up a type 3 no 607 bedrock jointer, but, it has rounded cheeks like a Bailey, and the frog mounting screws are underneath the iron, like on a Bailey. Is there a reason that those typical bedrock distinctions don’t exist on that jointer?

Love good content.

What's the difference between a no.12 and no.12 1/2? Time for a scraper plane history video... 😅 Gordon video was a great watch! ❤

Every time I watch one of your videos MJ, I learn a few new things that I didn’t know before. Thank you for the content you create, it certainly makes it easier for newer in the hobby to learn the history.

What about the nasty hang hole on the sole? I don't think there is much one can do about it.

Can you write out his channel name? I probably spelled it wrong, but i didn't find it when i googled it.

I just purchased an 12 1/2 and the wood sole was done. It had been worn down to the bolts. Instead of purchasing one I decided to make one. I purchased some rosewood from woodcraft and it turned out pretty good. The only issue was I cant reproduce the dark rich stain color. Fun Saturday project.

Gordon is a wizard with blown out holes and worn wood. Wait, that sounded bad… Gordon has a way with knobs that could make a grown man cry tears of joy! There, that’s better. Seriously, Gordon takes complete garbage rosewood and respectfully returns it to service through various techniques, my favorite is supporting with carbon fiber inserts, all with incredible precision and attention to retaining the historic integrity of the piece. Dude is worthy of aspiration. Thank you MJ for teaching us about his work and channel. -CY Castor

You should put a link to the repair video in the description.

Good stuff

I wish I had a combination plane to join in the fun :) I'll have to settle for my bench planes

This video was great. I was fortunate two years ago to purchase a 45 at a yard sale, complete with all the cutters for $20. I couldn’t believe my luck. Wasn’t sure what it was or how to use it. Almost resold it until I did some research on it. Would have been a big mistake. I have since learned how to use it will not part with it. 😊. Really appreciate it. Thanks

Thanks very much, M.J.!!

Thank you

Hello M.J. from England. Been watching you for a over a year. You mentioned you especially like your brass/bronze/gunmetal routers. I have 5 pattern makers routers. Stanley, Record and Watson. I could email you some pictures if you would like to see an English mans collection. Appreciate your work form England 😉

Man oh man MJ you have really been increasing your business since I bought a few planes from you. Glad to see that bud. Carry on and Semper Fi my friend.

It may be a dowel jig

Nothing left in pockets after the auction 😊👍 Wish you all the best
