[Andrey Kharitonkin]

But... but... you were posting some photos of building your own planes not long ago... why did you buy them instead of making them?

[Tony Zaffuto]

Phil does some beautiful work! Now Stewie has to show us what he can domwith those.

[Mike Allen1010]

Congratulations Stewie – that is a great tool gloat. I couldn't be more envious – I guess even grown-ups can have the excitement kids get from opening presents on Christmas morning!


I look forward to seeing your pictures and descriptions of them in action.


Best, Mike

But... but... you were posting some photos of building your own planes not long ago... why did you buy them instead of making them?

Probably because the ones he just bought aren't as straightforward to make as hollow and rounds. IMO it makes a lot of sense to buy the former and build the latter, which is what Stewie seems to be doing.

Snipe bills jump out as another such plane, but I suspect Stewie already has those.

[Stewie Simpson]

The following shows the newly arrived skew edge floats in use to fine tune the fit of the wooden wedges on a partial set of hollows and rounds.

[Stewie Simpson]

The wooden wedges have been fettled into their abutments, and the cutting irons tempered to 200*C.

[Stewie Simpson]

The cutting irons profiles were lightly worked with the file before being sharpened.

Nice looking planes, Stewie!

[Dave Anderson NH]

Very nice hollows and rounds Stewie. What is the wood?

[Stewie Simpson]

Prepped some Aust. Cedar to test out the hollow & rounds and the recently purchased moulding planes. 1st up was the 1/2" side bead planes.

The stock was then ripped down to a smaller dimension, and a reeded profile was completed using the 1/2" hollow, and snipe bills.

[Stewie Simpson]

Used the 1/2 rounds moulding planes today to shape an 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" single Cove moulding.

After marking out the end profiles, the majority of waste was then removed on the table saw.

Then it was on to using the moulding planes, followed by a final clean up with sand paper.

[Stewie Simpson]

The final profile to view is a 1" x 1" Ovolo & Cove. The moulding planes needed were a 1/2" hollow and a 1/2" round.

Prior to shaping, double sided tape does an excellent job of securing smaller dimensional stock.

[David Eisenhauer]

Nice work Stewie. It would be nice to have a set of the cutters for the moulding work. I had not thought that double sided tape would hold well enough and thanks for reminding me to try it sometime. I ran out of an old roll of double sided tape last year and am not as happy with the new roll I bought. It seems that the older tape was beefier stuff, with the tape perhaps containing some cloth or something similar that the new tape seems to lack.
