Thread: Appreciate your moulding planes

Moulding planes are planes that people should be making instead of buying. Aside from floats (of which not many are actually needed to make a moulder), we all probably have everything we need to make and taper blades (a hack saw, a bastard file, a belt sander and a torch).

The only challenge would be doing the boxing if one doesn't have a table saw, but that could be solved by making the entire middle of the profile from the fence to the outside of bed out of the boxing and just seat it in the plane (some planes are made like that, anyway).

Guarantee it's easier to make a functional (and surprisingly good) plane than it is to do a one-man glue-up on a piece of furniture.
