Thread: Which planes for joinery and cabinet making?

    Which planes for joinery and cabinet making?

    Which Joinery planes would I need to make something like this Clock my Grandfather made for me 22 years ago.

    If one breaks it down very simply, its 3 cabinets stacked on each other.
    But, lets say its a great start to learn to build furniture using joinery planes.


    English is not my first language, and I prefer buying new tools, made in US/Can/Eu/Japan, Aus, Taiwan etc etc. Possibly other Brands in other countries IF they have something special or better made, and not a copy. Used only if there is no new quality products made.

    I have some tools, but lack joinery tools to make cabinetry by hand.
    Possibly in most impractical and time consuming way (within reason of course, since its a hobby and not making any money of this)


    Which Planes do I need, to make these joints or other operations to make cabinetry with handtools.
    Anything else?


    Tounge and Groove
    Rabbet
    Plow /plough
    Router
    Dado

    That's an impressive clock. Do you have the carving skills and just want to add the cabinet skills? If that's the case you should have no troubles exceeding those you have already overcome.
