This transitional hand plane was most likely made by the Ohio Tool Company around the turn of the century. This restoration needed a lot of attention as some parts were missing or user-made.
I've used a yoke from a donated Stanley No. 3. I also added a jatoba sole since the restoration process took off some thickness and it is much harder than the original beech.
Shavings came off great from the black walnut!
Thanks to wood.work.LIFE for sending me the plane. Check that channel out: / @woodworklife

I love how you sharpened your paint scraper. Actually laughed out loud
one must properly maintain all tools lol
"Around the turn of the century". So much work to restore a tool of less than 20 years of age :-)
Damn, another one I missed!! Really good video ... I love the fact that you openly experiment with processes to find new and better ways to repair and strengthen. But, more importantly, you gracefully accept criticism and advice to refine your methods. It shows just how dedicated you are to tools, their history and restoration and not your ego. You really are the best!! Cheers ...
Quietly watching away......."oh he's sharpening a chisel.....oh my, look how sharp it is he must be using it to remake the woode..........wait........no.......oh god NO.....NOOOOO..... ". Haha, brilliant lol.
Yeah that got me too when he went after the plane metal parts with it I was like NOOOOOOO.
Laughed out loud in my office at "Morning Wood"...excellent!
Is it just me, or is that plane about the most awesome woodworking tool? It's gorgeous. Simply beautiful.
Nice restoration however i have a tip! I am a Luthier in training and have to deal with stabilizing wood with cracks a lot, usually in restoration of older guitars and viola and by far the best method to fill the cracks and strengthen the wood that i have been taught is to use a thin "wicking" CA glue, it seeps deep into the cracks and dries clear, you can also force dust from the wood you are working on into the crack along with the CA, sometimes you wouldn't even know there was a crack!
Great tip! I usually use epoxy or CA glue, but I thought the foaming glue would expand into the cracks. It didn't really do that though...
Hand Tool Rescue I thought the same thing on a saw handle I restored. unfortunately polyurethane glue tends to leave unsightly white glue lines which are really obvious.
I was about to recommend the same thing. Yeah, gorilla glue expands, but that expansion has _zero_ strength. Those polyurethane glues only work with compression. When foam does manage to expand into cracks that means that the crack isn't compressed, so it's just a bunch of fluff. Low-viscosity CA glue makes use of capillary action to wick, and still cures to something good and rigid. The only downside is that it doesn't wear evenly; it's much harder than wood. So for the bottom of wooden planes, you usually don't touch them with anything beyond wood-glue, and even then, I'll bail on a plane if it has a crack that looks too bad.
With tools you're really just trying to restore the integrity. Looking nice is nice, but strength is the more important factor. Plus those fixed cracks become part of the charm of the piece. Fixed up tools won't ever become collectors items.
I turn a lot of pens, so I'm fully aware of how great thin CA glue is. I use it and thick CA for so many different applications now. I see it as being like duct tape or wd-40. Every tool box should have some in it.
My father-in-law had some old hand tools that need some restoration. Your videos will help me in getting them back to decent condition. Thanks!!!
Nothing like a sole made of morning wood. Can't beat it!
Good video. The best: no jingle , no bagpipes.
Awesome rescue man! So many cool tricks. I really appreciate you helped ng me out with this one. I am glad to see your channep doing so well. That scene with sharpening the chisel just to use it as a scraper KILLED me. Keep up the good work.
You have inspired me. I went to a garage sale and bought an old Polish made hand drill to restore.THanks heaps.
Get at it!
Love seeing old tools made young again. Thanks!
Sharpening the chisel only to use it to scrape paint, priceless.
I just bought one of these at a garage sale, a 15" Fulton I believe. I did a partial restore on it, but I think I'm gonna go a little further after seeing what you did. Nice work!
I love seeing tools from the late 1800s.
These old tools have got character nice job well done.
Nice job. Nothing performs quite like a nicely restored transitional plane. I restored an old No31 Stanley Jointer and use it quite often
I swear you and AvE take up 99.99% of my time when I’m youtube. Good videos and no bullshit I love it
That water looks clean
Scraping the rust wid a sharp wood chisel !!!! Dude that’s priceless !!! Peace out
That's probably the coolest circular saw I've ever seen! @ 7:08
You seem remarkably young to have the knowledge and skill that you do. Perhaps my generation isnt doomed after all!
Did I just find you randomly on KZhead?
Good use of morning wood.
This guy is the best!
Great rescue as always. I did flinch when you sharpened up your chisel and then used it to scrape paint. But hey, it's your tool. Thanks for posting.
If you use wood glue in cracks and then sand while wet it fills with the pieces exact color match sawdust. Works wonders, Great quality videos, keep up the good work!!
I truly enjoy your videos and I look forward to new ones every time they come out you have really taught me a lot and fixing old stuff just a lot of patience thank you
great tip about the saw dust for vibtation
I accidentally fount this channel yesterday thank you so much you will be a star soon bless you!!!!!!all the best from country GEORGIA !
This time I'm not rising to the bait. An interesting restoration, and nice to see the gas powered circular saw in use.
TeaDaemon love when he works on anything gas powered.
That wax and paint trick was something else man, thanks for showing it. And great videos, I really enjoy your content.
+T1nCh0 Thank you. It's way easier than taping.
That was so neat. I too would have spent too much time taping off the part. Great tip indeed....Ken
Wow, WAY better than taping
There's a Japanese liquid masking tape that I use for my models
Great video, I have a Stanley transitional to restore, so thanks for a preview. Keep up the great work. each tool tells a story.
Such a great channel, learning quite a few tips. And most importantly I love the fact that you're not making it about yourself and spewing dribble like so many others. Not many can make a video so informative with so few words.
So satisfying to watch. Thank you for making these awesome videos that help me find zen.
Thank you for this. I was just given an old transitional plane which I believe is a Sargent VBM No. 3416. I've been at a loss as to where to start cleaning it up. This is a huge help.
Such a piece of art. Thanks for sharing
Awesome. Love the hand plane restores.
Yeah!!! ya saved the original wood! And a Rescued tool saves another!!
I picked up one of these planes with a bunch of old tools.....I'm thinking I may have to restore it as well, thanks for another great video!
I love the way you work and your sense of humor ! greetings from France
Nice job, I enjoy people being creative at getting something old and wasted to work again. Some planes are valuable exactly because most are in the condition this was in-wasted. As an old guy with all ten fingers intact, your planer hygiene made me a little queasy lol... The Gorilla glue, as you found, isn't much use for filling cracks. If you have time, the best approach is to oil the wood weekly for a few months, most of the cracks will shrink a lot if not close up completely. When I have something to fix up that is in my "someday" pile, I try and hit it with some oil frequently. Then use the CA and sawdust trick Conor mentioned.
Another great restoration...thanks sir for sharing this with us...
Your videos are always so interesting to watch. Excellent job!
a tip for fixing cracks in wood. mix glue with sawdust. makes the repairs look a lot better! :)
Using the gas powered circular saw! Nice!
You always do a great job
Great video! I want to make my own plane sometime soon, so this is very useful. Thank you!
I know nothing about this, but I still enjoy your videos. Thanks for the great content!
Beautiful! Thanks for a great video.
Watching these videos and how the tools in them are treated, I can't decide if being brought into this shop is the best thing or the worst thing that could happen to a tool. Remember kids, with enough determination, any tool can be a hammer.
Muahahaha!
I like how you made the new sole plate:)
You are really an inspiration! I have picked up some great tips from you and your viewers. Keep these videos coming! Like one of your viewers said these are better than anything Hollywood could produce!~Dolly
You are a very talented artist. Your videos just amaze me.
This is another entertaining tool shop video. thanks thumbs up.
Nice resto!
The biggest problem with your videos are...I could watch them all day long. Please keep them coming.
excellent job! I find your videos very entertaining to watch. Thank You!
Awesome. I loved the ending before and after shot. So glad I subscribed to you, sir!
That's a new addition I plan on doing from now on. Thanks!
btw if you mark the spot where you take the before with tape you can easily put the after next to it and get a nice clean composite vs the cut together you ended up with ( I almost thought you had composited it at first! ) Great video as usual.
RARE AND VERY NICE.FROM BRAZIL MY FRIEND.
Que relíquia essa plaina de transição. Parabéns belas restauração.
Nice job. One of your best efforts.
Nice job. I restored an identical one a few years ago. Identical except that all the parts were there and it didn't have those stupid blobs of braze on it. My solution for the mouth of it was a maple inlay, and I didn't polish and sand/scrape off all the original paint and finish you did. But it works great. Though I still prefer my old steel Stanleys for use. Once those old things are properly tuned and set up, lapped on glass by hand with carbide sand.. Micro flat and a joy to use.
I like the idea of making a new bottom for the plane. Not something I would have thought of.
A wood plane made of wood! I like it.
I know I'm like 2 years late on this one, but I kind of got worried when you showed the valve lapping compound until I realized what you were doing lol. Nice restoration
wow man! just incredible! love these videos, so much to learn!
Nicely done mate, I am really enjoying your videos, thanks a lot!
Wonderful work !!!
Outstanding craftsmanship mate. You never fail to educate, entertain and amuse me... “Morning Wood” 😂😂😂😂 It’s been many years since that’s happened. What more can I say? Love your work and your tool line. I’m gonna have to get myself one of those screwdrivers you manufacture. Don’t need one, but just love ‘em. Apart from the Spanner and screwdriver, any more tools in the pipeline? 👍🇦🇺
Great Job as always
Beautiful
Great videos. Hope to see more soon.
I’ve just done one exactly the same. So glad mine was nicer to start.
Nice job.👍🏻
Nicely done ... clever solutions and very useful tool now. Congrats ...
Another great video thanks. That trick with the wax is a great tip. I can't wait to try it out.
The thicker you lay it on, the better.
Hello and thank you for your video! thanks to people like you, that's how we know the tools of yesteryear of our ancestors and their working techniques, I do the same, I restore old French tools! I see you put some liquid before putting the glue gorilla, is it water to make the glue swell? thanks again .
I like it my brother great job on the restoration :)
Amazing! Seus vídeos são fantásticos. Eu gosto muito de consertar coisas. tambem recuperar coi coisas antigas.pa nsYour videos are great. I really like fixing things. also recover old things. Thanks for sharing.
Great job as usual, thanks for the viewing.
Using Gorilla as a crack/hole filler is another good technique from HTR. Thanks
I actually didn't like the results. You are better of mixing sawdust and wood glue to fill in the cracks.
came out awesome great Job
Thanks!
I got one of these stanly planes coming in the mail glad you made this video. Even got a Worth plane comin too dont know their age
It's beautiful
great video, I picked up a few good tricks from this one. I also have the same mastercraft chisel set!
Great video
I enjoyed the video! Keep it up!
eu acho muito lindo recuperar peças e ferramentas antigas ,resgata um pouco do nosso passado um pouco esquecido vale a pena pra quem gosta muito e ferramentas assim como eu. abrassos
My favorite kind of wood!
Using a plane to restore a plane. - A whole new level of planeception. :D
Nice video. I like the trick with the saw dust. Well done again.
+Chris DiMase Thanks!
I think you would love Marmite spread on your tools, or if you prefer a bit more runny stuff, try Worcester sauce :) I like your sarcastic way of repairing tools... or like some say... it's all in the wrist
Sharpens crusty chisel, ruins blade on forged metal. That was hilarious - great editing. Missed about 2 minutes of the video laughing. Well done, sir. Well done.
Glad you liked that!
I have to admit that I also use my chisels like that sometimes... but I usually dont sharpen them beforehand :-)
Greg Paine I guess he sharpened the chisel to a steeper scraping angle by the looks of it. either that or to insure a truely flat edge so it didn't gouge the surface.
Lets make sure this baby will shave, and now lets scrape some paint. Legitimately made me laugh out loud.
I'm impressed by that! I usually just blow air through my nose really quickly at videos online. Rarely do I get to actually laugh.
General rule when it comes to Aerosols: If it's labeled as "Combustible" or "Explosive" on the front, it's usually good stuff. :)
I just picked up the same plane in an antique shop while visiting friends in New Hampshire this week. I wasn't sure who the mfr was as the blade, chip breaker and lever cap are missing, but it does have the frog. I know what's the point. It was $5 and it's fun honing my restoration skills. I'll be scouring the net for the missing parts/donor plane. Excellent video and subbed to your channel.
Definitely worth it!
Another masterpiece!
a great job, i love it
man i cant get enough of these videos. can you make more?
NEVER!
uhh okay?
Someone is making bank on these old tools.
amazing videos!! super entertaining to watch!
