Trying to decide on rebate and moulding sizes I decided to try out a couple of my old planes. Since I never actually used them I got rid of most of my woodies collection a while ago, keeping just a couple that looked like they might one day be good for doors or such and a couple that did really wide mouldings.
I pulled out the two most suitable for glazing bars and ran a test on a 20mm wide blank. Although both profiles originally looked pretty similar to my eye, clearly only one is going to work with this thickness bar. Using the moulding plane on the stiles will be a bit of an issue because the toe of the plane will bump into the diminished stile shoulders before reaching the end point and the last bit will have to be carved out by hand to match.
As an alternative approach I suppose I could make up the door in the square and just run a router with a 1/4 ovolo around the opening, but where would the fun be in that?
