I also enjoy working to plans - although they are almost always mine - but there is something special in letting the piece just "grow" on its own.<br /><br />Hoss - Thank you! As for the plane, it's really called a Casing moulding plane as the profile was often used on door and window casing in the 19th century. This particular plane has only one fence, which in use runs against the left edge of the stock (which is actually the bottom/underside of the moulding as the stock is held on edge). It is a 3/4" plane, which means that with 3/4" thick stock, it will create a quarter round profile with a small (approx. 1/8") step or fillet at the top. If you used thicker stock, the fillet would increase, and if you used thinner stock the fillet would diminish. If the stock was thin enough, there would be no fillet, and the stock would fit completely within the curved part of the profile, giving you something more like a simple round over shape.<br /><br />Oh, and I guess this would be a good time to point out that I use the term "thumbnail" interchangeably with what others (Whelan in particular) would refer to as a Dropped quarter round profile.<br /><br />I hope that makes sense, it's hard to describe with words. Maybe I should do a post with pictures to clarify.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-23732230353117332342011-08-19T05:48:43.916-08:002011-08-19T05:48:43.916-08:00Great post as usual.

In other words, do you thickness your material to fit between the two fences of the plane?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />HossAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-77515822481277085472011-08-18T09:52:28.700-08:002011-08-18T09:52:28.700-08:00Thanks for beautiful photos, it helps to better un...Thanks for beautiful photos, it helps to better understand all process!Usemeplzhttp://www.usemeplz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-75311331488081101272011-08-18T07:42:56.531-08:002011-08-18T07:42:56.531-08:00Great post Dan.

I should try that more.Craig Ambrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662541234655297148noreply@blogger.com
