    MOSELEY Moulding Plane

    The early Moseley Triple Reed Plane arrived in the post 2 days ago.

    The refurbishment is progressing well. The most difficult task was correcting a very slight bow within the alignment of reeded profiles.

    #Fresh hide glue applied to the boxwood inserts.
    #The soles reeded profile, depth stop, and guide fence reworked.
    #The fit of the wedge and cutting iron have both been fettled in.

    *Next on the to do list is to fine tune the shape the irons cutting profile, and sharpen.

    Attached are photos that show some of the progress.

    Sorry if I missed it in an earlier thread: any trick to getting the boxing out other than working hot water into the joint?

    The following shows the cutting iron after being shaped and sharpened to match the profile of the planes triple reed sole.

    The plane was then tested for performance on some sample boards, and final fine tuning has been completed.

    Photos showing the worked profiles will be included in the next post.

    Stewart,

    Excellent work as always. What was the purpose of the blue tape?

    Pete; the blue tapes role is to protect the surface of the sole when filing-in the cutting profile of the iron.

    Stewart,

    That's an excellent idea. Did you come up with that yourself? I've always used the layout blue method, but I think I will switch! Do you use a rod with some abrasive wrapped around it to get the profile and then hone in relief to form the cutting edge? Some time spent on that part of your rehab next time would be appreciated by all. I assume you tightly wedge in the blade while you do that work?
