Today we are breathing new life into a trusted old hand plane, the Stanley, Bailey #4. I take the whole thing apart, give some love and attention, cleaning each piece, before surfacing and sharpening the blade up to reassemble and use for years to come. I love these old hand planes and believe that they should have an honored place on the shop shelf with all of my favorite tools.

Check out this great site to help you identify your Stanley hand plane manufacture date.
