Hi everyone,
Im restoring an old wardrobe with edwardian drawers and the previous owners have rounded off the recessed bevel that was on the drawers.
Ive been trying to find and old tool that does it as I cant seem to locate a router bit that is the right profile. The angle is approx 12/15 degrees.
How did they do it in the olden days ?. Ive got a thought about adapting a block plane and attaching a guide on the side and reprofiling the cutter.
Yeah a lot of work but at least i would have some control, just not sure it would work effectively on the end grain - might end up with chatter.
Cant find anything on the net either, have an old combination plane but they arnt that easy to use - still have to make a cutter. Stratch stock would be too rough.
Any ideas !!, there must have been a hand tool to do it - maybe an old wooden hand plane?
