Reclaiming Flea-Market Planes
with Ernie Conover
Making a rusty handplane look like new
Ernie Conover, woodworking teacher and author, says, "There are still thousands of these planes to be found at flea markets, garage sales and antique stores." Investing some time and labor in restoring the planes, after you've found the one you want, is well worth the effort, whether you plan to use it or just add it to your collection.
In this video, Conover demonstrates the way to make the one you have look and work like new from flattening the sole to restoring the Japanning. You'll learn how far to take it apart and how to adjust it after it's put back together. There are also some valuable tips on how to determine when your plane was made and what some of the differences in the models are.
