Early Access Video: Are older Stanley planes really better:
Added 2018-01-18 17:14:53 +0000 UTCOne week early for patrons only: my comparison of two vintage Stanley planes. One is from 1890 and one is from 1950. The older one is considered superior and is more collectible, but does that make any sense? It turns out that the newer plane is actually a lot more precise and functional and it's much cheaper.
Comments
Thanks for the great information. I never really understood collectible anything. I do highly respect well engineered made with quality parts. From this video it seems as though the sweet spot for me to be looking for Stanley planes is around 1950.

2018-01-20 01:26:27 +0000 UTCVery informative! Thanks for the shoutout. You are the first person I’ve ever supported on patreon and I did because you are a small channel that I really enjoy. I have wry few handtools, but need to pick up more since space is a premium in my two car garage that actually holds two cars. I also did it because you personally ask me to do it. It was the prompt I needed to get me to sign up. Keep up the great work!
