how to cut a double stopped rabbit by hand...

[Brian Sommers]

I can't afford to get me the new Veritas Skew rabbit plane. That is the one I would really like.

so how else can I do this by hand? Chisel?

Chisel and Azebiki (http://www.fine-tools.com/azebiki.html)?

Cutting gauge, saw, and chisel.

Score the lines as deeply as possible, saw what you can, and chisel out the waste ...

Am I missing something in the details about the Veritas Skew Rabbet Plane being able to do stopped rabbets?

I know how to do it with a Stanley #45 or #55:

In this post the #45 is used to make a stopped slot, but the same technique can be used for rabbets.

Otherwise cutting it out like Derek suggests is a good option.

Another would be to make a wood block router plane with a chisel as a blade to do the work.

The skew rabbet wouldn't help you, for two reasons: It has a non-removable toe (meaning that it can't plane all the way into a corner), and it's skewed (meaning that even if it didn't have a toe it still wouldn't be able to plane all the way into a square corner).

If the rabbet is at least twice as long as a bullnose plane with its toe removed then you could cut it by making opposing passes with that, with the side of the bullnose registered against a batten to control both rabbet width and squareness. It takes a little practice to get a uniformly deep rabbet that way, though, which is why everybody suggests the saw-and-chisel approach.

I suspect the traditional approach where a double stopped rabbet would appear needed is to redesign so it's not.

The photos I posted above were part of the process of planing stopped rebates with the Veritas Skew Rabbet Plane.

Here is the rebate-to-be ...

Chisel rebates at the beginning and end. Tnis creates space for the plane to start and finish. Then just plane away ...

Obviously *any* rabbeting plane will work for the center section of a very long stopped rabbel as in Derek's second example above.

Question for the OP: How long are your double-stopped rabbets?
