seeking panel raising plane and 'complex profile' plane templates

[Clinton1]

If you have any old panel raising or complex profile (e.g. crown moulding) planes, I'm seeking tracings of the sole/end profiles on cardboard/paper along with any info on the original maker and dimensions.

Nothing fancy, old cereal box or paper folded to fit the envelope is fine. :)

If you can assist, please post a reply/pm me and I'll send you my postal address in Sydney.

As always, all assistance gratefully received.

I'll also trace them onto a grid and post them up here as a resource for others.

hi Clinton
have you seen the book WOODEN PLANES and how to make them by David Perch and Robert Lee (Algrove Publishing)

[Clinton1]

No I haven't Ian, could you tell me whats in it?

perhaps this link will help Wooden Planes and How to Make Them - Lee Valley Tools (http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=45260&cat=1,46096,46107&ap=1)
the book has 34 chapters, 24 of which cover different styles of wooden plane, the others things like tools required, heat treating, making a double iron.
the copy I have in front of me at the moment was borrowed from a library

would be worth checking if your local library has a copy or can get one on inter library loan
