In this video we restore a Stanley 78 Rebate or Rabbet plane. They are also known as a Fillister plane . This plane was bought on EBay in Australia from the grandson of the original owner. It was complete and in original condition. I sharpened the blade and used it to create a rebate ina a window frame that I was making. I then thought it was time to restore this lovely piece of history back to its former glory. Since I removed the original logo as part of the paint removal process, I decided to paint it a different colour. I chose dark green because to me it gives that old world look.

The sand paper used was 600 grit.
The paint and -timer were a pressure pack enamel

The plane works well but my demonstration video didn’t look too great so zi skipped showing that part.

Hope you enjoy the video.

Thanks for watching
