    How to Sharpen a Molding Plane Iron Or Combination Iron - YouTube

    Although I use a honing guide rather than freehand.

    Thanks for the replies.
    I found this whilst exploring.
    Not much info.
    But now at least I know I am missing the 5/16 and 5/8 plow(plough) blades.

    I basically do what you see in the video but use an oil stone. I have a box set of cutters for mine but find I hardly ever use the molding cutters. I did sharpen one of them with the sandpaper and dowel method. The rest of the molding irons look like the first owner never used them either.
