Topic tags/keywords: question resource moulding plane joinery plane hollow and round wooden hand planes I am currently in the process of researching the design and construction of moulding planes and other wooden joinery planes. I thought this would be a good topic to pass around LJs. I think I will first start by making a list of good links to sites on the topic of wooden moulding/joinery planes. -M.S. Bickford’s blog -Hand Plane Central’s Pratical Plane Making article -Old Street Tool, Inc. articles Please post any links for other sites you may know of that discuss moulding/joinery plane design and construction. -- And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord...

I am aware of those videos you mentioned, but they cost money to watch. If anyone has 18th century moulding planes, particularly hollow and rounds, then could you post some pictures with the dimensions. -- And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord... Colossians 3:23 |

I’m a big fan of molding planes and have built a pretty sizable collection. This should be a great topic! Some of the best videos I’ve seen on them were free on Youtube.

Hello. Would you be able to give me a few dimensions of your 18th century hollow and rounds. The width of the top portion of the body, relative to it’s mortise width. Are the “cheeks” of the mortise the same with all sized planes or do they get thicker as the mortise gets wider? As well as the distance from the bottom of the plane to the top of the protruding section. I drew out in the picture those dimensions, incase my description was lousy. -- And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord... Colossians 3:23 |

The basic dimensions of a moulding plane for hollows and rounds were generally 9-1/2” or 10” long by 3-3/8 high. The width and grip were relative to the size of arc it cut. The width of blade was 1/6th of a circle or 60º which also happens to be the radius of the arc as well. So if the plane cut 1/2” radius it would have a cutting with of 1/2” plus some width to allow for addition wood for the wedge area, etc. A 1/2” plane would be 25/32” in width with a 1/4” wedge and a 9/16” grip. -- http://www.calebjameschairmaker.com, http://www.kapeldesigns.com |
