Unboxing and tuning a vintage Record smoothing hand plane (# 4)

I stumbled upon this vintage Record hand plane at a local hardware store, as these original Record hand planes are no longer in production today I thought it will be interesting to add it to my hand tools collection but not after tunning it up to get it ready for use.
Some of the good tools I am using:
T-Bevel square: amzn.to/3azunrK
Mini square: amzn.to/3BGTnJu
Marking knife: amzn.to/3FGfZw9
Japanese clamps: amzn.to/3lAVI32
Japanese saw: amzn.to/3oYjhF7
Ripping Sawblade: amzn.to/3BCNZXZ
Multipurpose Sawblade: amzn.to/3FLp6vu
Clamps: amzn.to/3BFLWSO
My Wood threading jig: amzn.to/2X5XCzg
My Main chisel set: amzn.to/3FFGvpv
Sharpening stone: amzn.to/3aO2Djv
My video recording gear:
Main lens: amzn.to/3FKO4eL
Tripod: https: amzn.to/3DGRtcH

I just purchased 3 new hand planes so this is perfect timing. Thank you for posting, this will help me tremendously and I've learned so much from your videos, I like your attention to detail!

Thanks for your lovely demonstration.

[@MintStiles]

Vintage Records never disappoints with their thicker soles.

[@GuffyOffical]

Awesome demonstration! Thank you for yet another valuable video.

[@patbassman8251]

Its in incredible condition for a vintage plane even the packaging looks like new .

Found it brand new in an old tools shop, he wasn’t displaying it and was stored for more than 40 years

I bought an identical one, can you tell me until what year it was manufactured? I would like to find more information about the history of Record, but I couldn't find it.

good Job

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

Thank you man

[@jamesitube]

Is that a very thick block of aluminum that you're using as a surface plate? Still haven't lapped my plane soles because I don't have a good surface, though perhaps some MDF would be good enough. Liking your videos: good length and precise work!

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

Yes that’s a flattened aluminum block, you can use a float glass better than the MDF as it won’t deform when it gets wet.
Thank you for watching and for commenting 👍

[@ossirioth]

When you flatten the sole of the plane you *need* to have the blade and chip breaker fitted (with the blade retracted obviously!) as this tension mount subtly bends the plane body when it's in place. I learnt this one the hard way by dilligently grinding a Stanley no. 5 perfectly flat and then finding that what I had actually achieved was to grind a lovely arch into the sole :(

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

That is right 👌thx for sharing

[@lawv.8424]

Good work!! Looks very much like a Stanley bailey....
What are your thoughts on Japanese kanna planes??
Thanks in advance..👍🏻🎩

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

True, Record and Stanley are the same, Japanese Kannas are great hand planes, I have 2 of them, I will make an episode about them in future. Thank you for your comment 👍

[@kennnva551]

@@TheWoodCrafter1 While the basic design is the same between Stanley and Record, the Record planes are bit more stout. I have several, and all the castings are heavier than the Stanley planes I've observed.

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

hi, where can buy this and how much？ which origin？ thanks

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

Hi there, This is the original Record smoothing plane made in England, where you can buy depends where you are situated? If you are in Jordan I can tell where otherwise it is hard to find brand new ones.

[@blacknight1003]

Nice fettling, but a sad reflection on a once highly respected tool manufacturer to send out tools that are “not up to the job”

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

That's True, but after it was tuned, you can't stand but to fall in love with this little gem, thx for watching

[@KieuPho]

This looks like made in china. Have you seen the real vintage one? Very different from this copy cat.
Nice work though.

[@TheWoodCrafter1]

This is made in England no mistake about it, but it seems that this one is from the last production batches.
