Narrated: 1878 Hand Plane Chisel Patent [Resurrection]

AC-1 Sentinel (I'm cramped inside)

I'm probably not the first one to think of this but I had the thought that you could basically make a small ball that fits into the chisel end that you could have as a plane hold or perhaps since you threaded the chisel end into it then make a threaded end that fits into the other side tho that would probably ruin the whole idea of a quick change chisel attatchment on the front end of the plane.

Thanks Marc! I was thinking about you a bit during this build when I used those awesome allen keys you sent me for the mill and the lathe.

Marc McKenzie

Don’t know how I missed this project. This project demonstrates that a master restorer inherently develops top not design and fabrication skills along the way. Really enjoyable video!

Don't forget a bigger chair for two to curl up in; miss that and Manitoba will rise in protest.

Tiny chairs are required for that fireplace. A rocking chair. Nice job on the plane.

OK, look, maybe you're too young, but the whole point of the Meech Lake Accord was to ensure that any TV personality that has a tiny fireplace on their show must lay out tiny chairs of the same scale in a certain orientation then instruct viewers to look waaaaay up and immediately call Rusty (a particular type of bookbag-dwelling rooster). Are you trying to break up Canada?

Thank you!

Hand Tool Rescue

Haha, thanks!

Hand Tool Rescue

Exactly.

Hand Tool Rescue

Yes, that was the backup plan!

Hand Tool Rescue

Thanks!

The commercial version would work just fine, but yours is a work of art.

John McCormick

It's like their tool is a tiny cheap version of yours. If I had to use or even just look at one for a long period of time I'd choose yours.

Michael Steeves

You can see that "value engineering" has always been a thing. Why spend extra money on thicker wood and decorative brass if people will buy the simpler version?

Brooks Moses

I know! And just finding that it existed at all is pretty amazing by itself.

Brooks Moses

Seems like if tapping the wood hadn't worked, the thing to do would have been to drill out the hole a little larger and epoxy in a brass insert, so it doesn't seem like there was much to lose by tapping it first. :)

Wow! That is impressive. Gorgeous and cool tool. Well done sir! 😃👍🏼

Old Crow Bourbon

Yours is better! Possibly the one new thing that’s better than the old thing. Except cars.

Mike Bird

I'm impressed with how close your recreation came to the original, and that you actually (in my opinion) improved it with the metal sole.

Joseph Brzezinski

That's a damn sexy tool... nice job.

SirStroman

Amazed that you found one and the little wedge wasn't missing. That seems like it would quickly go to the realm of the 10 mm socket.
