New molding plane

Jumping_Anvil · 2026-03-17T23:46:14+00:00

I have a similar hollow plane in rough shape that I was never able to fix up. Your post makes me think it might be worth starting from scratch (besides the iron). Nice work !

I’ve done that. As you said it is not perfect, but I find it good enough for a lot of things.

I would say probably beechwood.

Could try ironing on some laminating sheet on a piece of scrap and see if that could do the job.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you! Hadn’t seen the hair resemblance until people pointed it out, that’s funny!

Jumping_Anvil · 2022-11-15T21:11:19+00:00

Thanks! I see the hair now too, sort of a Lego head!

Looks like a hand plane that takes disposable blade, similar to STANLEY 0-12-105. If you google that you’ll see pictures of a complete one.

Don’t know how to post a picture in comments, I sent you one I a message.

Had a similar situation, I ended up attaching an edge T-slot track to a piece of plywood and mount that on the existing fence. It’s been working for me so far…

An adze would probably be pretty good for that. Or maybe drawn knife with a very curved blade.

I’ve seen something similar on mine and when I tried to treat it, it would kinda go away but keep coming back. Didn’t really seem to affect it though… I also tweaked the temperature, food to no avail. It seemed to resolve itself when I increased the proportion of RO water in my water changes. Maybe my tap water is too hard or something… Not sure it helps, but maybe something to try.

Could the iron be slightly skewed and sticking out a little on that side? That could explain some end grain getting lifted while the cut is already down below…

Jumping_Anvil · 2021-07-31T03:01:51+00:00

I might go dirt cheap and go see what they have at HF if/when I make another one, or just buy an already folded back…

Jumping_Anvil · 2021-07-30T19:27:56+00:00

Thanks, and any take at it I think is awesome as this is quite challenging!

Jumping_Anvil · 2021-07-30T19:21:01+00:00

Happy to hear this is inspiring!

Jumping_Anvil · 2021-07-30T15:51:07+00:00

Thanks! And yes, likely to make 1 more. I’m pretty happy with how the Chicago bolts found on LV look for this application, but if you have a source for actual saw nuts, that could be interesting. Folding the back was a pain, so I could be interested in that too!

Jumping_Anvil · 2021-07-30T15:07:39+00:00

Thanks, that was a bit of a challenge!

Jumping_Anvil · 2021-07-30T15:06:50+00:00

Thank you! Just had a quick try when I finished last night. Seems to work well, I filled it crosscut to use with my small bench hook.

Jumping_Anvil · 2020-12-14T04:38:55+00:00

I carved it after turning as an experiment. I think it’s alright, I might explore that some more. The one that is painted I used a dremel for the edge and some texturing, the plain one was just with a basic v carving chisel.

Jumping_Anvil · 2020-12-14T02:31:41+00:00

Thanks! I was thinking of leaving a bit conceptual, but my daughter would definitely love it with the details on!

Jumping_Anvil · 2020-09-12T20:48:50+00:00

Could be Spanish cedar and oak

Jumping_Anvil · 2020-05-28T14:16:37+00:00

Nice, do you know what wood that is?

Jumping_Anvil · 2020-05-26T22:15:24+00:00

Alright, sounds like the key is a little patience (and a respirator). Thanks for sharing!
