    Default seeking panel raising plane and 'complex profile' plane templates

    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.
    Cheers,
    Clinton

    perhaps this link will help Wooden Planes and How to Make Them - Lee Valley Tools
    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
