    Default Making Mouldings

    I've started a new project, a Jelly Cabinet - some might call it a short chimney cupboard.
    Anyhoo, my timber isn't wide enough for the panels so these had to be glued up. While waiting for the glue to dry I decided to make the mouldings for top and bottom.
    I used a moulding plane to arrive at the shape.
    I am unsure of the name of the finished profile - can anyone give it a descriptor please?

    My take on the use of this moulding plane is on my blog.

    SG now thats what I like to see old tools still being well used not sat on a shelf looking all forlorn.

    Reminds me have to find a couple of blades for some planes which sit in the old tool box never being used.

    Thanks Ray.
    I am still struggling to name the profile that I have cut.
    Best I can come up with is a quirked cyma reversa.
    I was hoping Woodwould would chime in - I feel pretty certain he would know.

    Nice to see that people still use moulding planes.
    My first thought would have been "I wonder what spindle moulder knives I have for that"
    As for naming it, at work we would just put it in the 'capping/crown moulding' pile with the others

    Good work SG,
    I can still remember the dust and noise last time I routed some mouldings for a book case. Not as classy as those either. Perhaps I should do more with the stanley 50 and also keep an eye out for nice woodie moulding planes. I do have one that was the great grandfathers and does a raised bead. I guess it was part of a set and used in combination with other shapes.
    Regards
    John

    Thanks John,
    these handplanes are a real pleasure to use, but as the Yanks would say:
    the blades are a real bear to sharpen!

    I use a Dremel and a bunch of different shaped slip stones. Still tricky though

    My knowledge of it is limited as it's a Victorian architectural moulding and therefore too new for me, so I'm going with what the others say.
    .
    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Regards, Woodwould.
