Since you mentioned all the distinct historical styles, digging in to specific styles would make great videos! ;) I really appreciate all your effort and hard work, I've learned a lot from you and enjoyed putting it into practice!!
A simple softening of the corner is my preferred corner on smaller simple projects where as for larger projects a 45 degree is my preference especially on overhanging edges. Sharp corners, in my experience, can tend to splinter along the grain and the splinters will either ruin a shirt or slide under a fingernail plus damage the look of the piece, no-one wants a wedge missing from a piece they've spent a lot of time on.
Excellent “lecture,” Professor Wright! This video was filled with many helpful ideas, all of which are very useful. So thank you! And my corners thank you!
Damn, now I got an urge to make a moulding plane cutter cutting jig for my rotating multitool and I already have too many things on my have-to-do, kind-of-should-do, and neat-to-do lists. The overall idea is a small vice in a container for water and the multitool held in a 2:1 or 3:1 panthograp for more accurate control.
Sounds like you need a roundtoit. Assign each one to a specific project or issue and when someone, such as your own self, questions why it is not done you can just point to it - AKA pointtoit - and get back to whatever the hell you were doing before you were so rudely interrupted. Ah, life's simple.
Something that I haven't been able to wrap my mind around is how the angle of the grind effects the shape of the profile when it's actually in the plane... the context being making my own profiles.
Have you ever used a cornering tool? They are similar to combo wrenches in that they can come in sets and have cutters on both ends that are different sizes. Very simple tool but makes a much more repeatable corner shape than a block plane does. They are just for breaking the corners, no fancy shapes or chamfer, but the are fast if that's all you want to do.
Another useful video. Always learning loads I was lucky two recently get a load of Old moulding planes , from gentleman who they were his dads he was a cabinet maker also I had about 30 of them, but he reckons must’ve thrown loads out when he was clearing this shit over Covid gutted we store these ones and so on but will try to use one find out the moles they create
when i saw the title i thought you were going to talk about using carving and such to accent a piece. like putting a celtic corner carving on the corner of the box...corner
they are a new product by REED planes. they are curently on back order but the next batch should be coming out in the next cople weeks. here is a video on them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g4jhLOeFgpc.html and here is where they are offered: www.woodbywright.com/shop/reed-bronze-knobs
In the past my misadventures with hand tools resulted in among other injuries, a torn thumbnail while trying to use a handsaw. I prefer using power tools because of those experiences. But strangely enough, since subscribing to, and watching your videos I am willing to try hand tools again. Mainly a small manageable hand plane, now that I know that they need to be sharpened properly before the first use. By the way, how do those specialty planes work with really hard hardwoods? I'm very curious about how they would cope with the local woods here in Guyana (purpleheart is one of our local woods).
Stop making me want a 55, James... I am curious whether anyone has assembled a list of Stanley that work with the Veritas combo plane--what can one get away with?
@@WoodByWrightHowTo thanks, I believed it to be a similar design, but never seen a bead cutter for it. I might need to get a file out and see what I can do
an ogee is a reversing curve. one portion is convex and one is concave. The corner I cut with the 55 is a traditional ogee. a roman ogee has a rabbet to start it into the first curve. www.google.com/search?q=roman+ogee&rlz=1C1ASVA_enUS826US826&oq=Roman+ogee&aqs=chrome.0.0i512l10.784j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
No 55? One plane to rule them all, one plane to find them, One plane to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them; In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie. LOL.
But what you failed to explain is how to make the corner pattern match cross-grain to with the grain cuts... i.e. making the corners come together at the corner.
The approaches you've shared all work well while working on the long grain of the wood. I've never had a lot of success with hand cut moldings on the edge grain, however, except for chambers and roundcovers with the block or smoothing plane. Any suggestions? Or maybe a video describing your technique. Thank you.
Are we really calling them corners? The corners are where the edges and ends meet, and we need a different term for where the edges and faces meet (and the ends and faces): because for the rest of the world, those are edges, not corners.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo It’s peculiar. Sellers uses the term “arris” sometimes, and nobody knows what he’s talking about, because it has never caught on. Do beams with four equal sides also have faces and edges?
