Phil Edwards uk) Moulding Planes.

[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.

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.

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.
