Novice woodworker needs help with jointer plane / bead and cove plane

Roy Underhill did an episode on making planes on PBS a few years ago.

Thanks for the help. I tried to find the video online but I had no luck.

a1Jim thanks for the tip, unfortunately the article that exactly answers all my questions cannot be viewed without membership, which I do not have. But thanks for responding!!

What I have here is a link to how to build one version of a jointer plane. DIfferent types of bead or cove I suppose you’ll have to get or shape yourself different knives. This wasn’t very hard to find just a basic search on the internet. Hopefully this will help you as you sound pretty desperate? Very nice looking plans and great explanation. It assumes that you have quite a few other power tools. Might be a problem but maybe you can find a way around that too. Everything can be done with hand tools but you have to have them. Let me know if this leads you nowhere and I can help you find something else…

Good article skywalker. thanks of posting the link. I was surprised to see tham make all the plane iron angles the same. I would have thought the block plane would be different for cutting crosscut while the smoother and jointer cut along the grain.
