I have learned much in such a short time with this presentation! Brilliant idea because now I want to see the whole class! Having bought another one previously , I know it will be simply... EXCEPTIONAL. Thank you .
I dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Keagan Dominick I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Just got into molding planes this past year. I inherited about 30 of them that belonged to my great great uncle. Most are from the late 1800s. A few are from the early 1800s, and there is even one from Francis Nicholson who was the first plane maker in the colonies. It's from the early 1700s. Very nice. Still works great! I fixed it up and used it to make some baseboards for my child's room. Feels so cool to use something with that kind of history. Anyways, molding planes are awesome and I highly suggest trying them out if you can. I must admit, when I got them, I was a bit intimidated, but they aren't so hard to sharpen and use as they might seem. Just have to invest in a few slipstones and have some patience. So yeah, get yourself some molding planes. They're good fun. Much more satisfying than my router table.
Thank you for putting this video together. Many people have traditional hand plane videos, but few on the molding planes. This was very informative! Much appreciated!
Just in time! I have recently developed an obsessive interest in moulding planes and have gotten my first ones. For the moment I'm only playing with them and getting used to them, so thanks for this video!
That was just" Plane " awesome. Thank you for the explanations.I'm always looking for used ones that are affordable and this will help with my decision .
This was excellently presented Josh! I learned a lot and kept thinking about a set of moulding planes Ive seen near me. Thanks for making it clear and straightforward and even doing some demo. Cheers!
@@WoodAndShop the Antique store next to Jacks Country Kitchen in Ruckersville has a whole crate of them upstairs in the back! Didn't know about how a set is made before this video, so didn't have the knowledge to understand the mess I was looking at. Might be worth a look?
Nice video thanks, half the fun is finding these old moulding planes, with a history attached to them also. They are terrific value for money too. U.K.
I've been a cabinetmaker for 46 years and have about 250 bench and molding planes. This is a very good video unlike most on the web. Thank you for making this. Oh, I love my # 45 and #55 . The #45 stays set up with a 1/4" straight iron for drawer bottoms in the side and front of a drawer.
Great video. The only thing worth adding I would suggest, is that with certain types of moulding planes it can be easiest to start the cut near the far end of the board, and gradually extend the cut backwards as it deepens, rather than start at the near end as you would normally do when bench planing.
Fantastic video, Joshua! Thanks a lot! 😃 Sorry I could only watch it now... Because I was traveling. It was elections here in Brazil. 😊 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Joshua I have been buying lots from ebay/auctions of vintage tools. I have a few tools, no one, knows what they are for? can you help us ID them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, Deeman and friends.... OORAH!!
What an amazing video - thank you. I would be grateful if you could suggest how to workout how to identify particular molding plane profiles to enable one to buy dedicated molding planes to match restoration projects. I'm restoring my original 1890s timber sash window frames and I need to replace some deteriorated bottom rails. The window frames have a simple rebate/oval/rebate mold around the edge but I'm not sure how to go about finding a molding plane that matches so that I can fabricated replacement rails. Any suggestions would be very gratefully received. Thanks again and best wishes.
@@WoodAndShop even doing Tongues/grooves : not the best because of the possible errors when making the groove: the fence isn’t fix . Can be good but also very bad... I learned the rough way ...
HeyJoshua, I built a workbench out of 1 1/2inch maple and the holdfast worked for a little bit and then they seemed to have gotten lose? And now they wont hold. Is the thickness a problem or is it something else? ,
This is truly an excellent demystifier. These beauties are a joy to use, but there is prior knowledge to be acquired before applying them to the wood. Having a complete set is like owning a leather-bound edition of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica- it's an heritage. This is a great video- very clear and concise. Just one small detail though: the word is spelt "MOULDING" and not "MOLDING". Mold is rot, whereas mould means "shape".
There's no reason to start with a square top surface. Rip an approximate angle on the table or hand saw, and then run a backer board along the inside of the plane to keep vertical. You've saved yourself at least 50% of the time removing excess material.
Please, OvOlo is spelled and pronounced with the emphasis on the second O. It is NOT pronounced OvERlo. Similarly, "Shop" is spelled and pronounced with an O. It is NOT pronounced ShAp. Why oh why do Americans ALWAYS get Hollows and Rounds BACKWARDS? A Hollow plane creates a HOLLOW (Concave) profile. A Round plane creates a ROUND (Convex) profile.
