Moulding Planes | Paul Sellers

In this video Paul gives an overview into the moulding plane and its uses.

We might easily be disaffectionate to the forebears of woodworking, who so enriched our lives with the most wonderful woodworking ever created, using only their bare hands and tools they made to work with. For a short run of moulded stock, moulding planes can be immediate and quite inexpensive. Many ‘old-timers’ kept them around to replicate old moulds and also to develop modern alternatives with their own proven technology.

I just love woodworking by hand. I wish I could make a hobby business out of it, but sadly I have no extra time with all my other jobs and interests. LOL. It's all a choice of what you want with life I guess. This was marvelous. Thank you.

Paul's stuff is the best woodworking information on the internet. Period.

His videos are laid out in a manner that is easy to understand.

The methodology does not require 5, 000.00 or more worth of machine tools (this is a frustration for many of us)

His books and website are great value to anyone interested.

I think I was the most amazed when he just eyeballed that miter.

Every day is a school day, many thanks for the videos.

It doesn't matter how much experience or knowledge you have... You can always learn new things. Thank you.

Did anyone else's jaw drop when he 45 degree mitre cut those trim mouldings by hand? I can't even get that right with a guide!

I now have my granddad's old skewed mouth rebate plane. Took a while to get the hang of setting it up. But it works an absolute treat. He died before I was like a bit of a connection. A treasured tool.

Would love to see more on this including how to sharpen them

Paul, Thank you. An expanded fourth edition of British Planemakers was just released in January 2020 by Astragal Press. For anyone interested, Matthew Bickford is the author of an excellent book on using moulding planes. The title is Mouldings in Practice published by Lost Art Press. Please be careful with the metal hammer those planes are museum pieces! Best... David

I got some molding planes passed on from my great grandfather. Those were just random junk for others but a real treasure for me the moment i saw them. Thanks for another great lesson Paul!

[paulharries]

I still have over forty left to me when my grandfather died, and I've used at least thirty of them over the years. A lot of time spent restoring some of the blades, but I just love them.

[CleaveMountaineering]

Thanks for the overview. I'm keeping my eyes out for a groove plane...

Thank You for Your Time and Effort in Making This Wonderful Video

I see these at flea markets and second hand stores here in the US and assumed they were worthless junk. Now I know better.

[Certified_Art_Teacher]

I have been waiting for this video for a time!! Thanks Paul!

Awesome video, your knowledge on woodworking and tools are very impressive.

Goodman's British Planemakers is now available in a 4th revised edition, not expensive - excellent book by Jane Rees.

I was advised to start with a few sets of rounds and hollows, I also have a few moulding planes. Dado planes are my favourite, or at least they are until I get a router plane. I wanted to put a shelf in a piece of plywood that was at an angle. I needed a dado for the shelf's joint but I couldn’t work out how to get the angle with my power router, but it was easy with a dado plane.

I really struggled with my complex moulding planes until I saw a video explaining the cross on the back shows the angle the plane should be held at.

I started woodworking because I wanted to make better quality frames, it’s these planes that really opens that out for me.

I love the 'realness' of Paul's videos, maybe because it’s indicative of Paul’s honesty and integrity.

A wonderful video, thank you very much.

Would be great to see him make a trim plan or tongue and groove. Thank you and you are inspiring!!
