Very nice work. The edge detail on the top really sets it off. Congratulations on finishing it.
20 August 2014 at 2:08 pm #61480Great work, Ricardo! I really like the detail on the edge of the top. Fantastic idea.
George.
20 August 2014 at 5:01 pm #61481Hi, many thanks for the nice comments of all of you.
I should point out that the edge work, as I have no moulding planes, was done with an electric router.
Of course, everything else with hand tools.

well done .Eddy20 August 2014 at 10:50 pm #61488It’s good that you used a router instead of moulding planes because they would of ruined the top and destroyed your hard work. Moulding planes are great on long grain work but are crap for end grain because of tearout even in routers on end grain you will see small tearouts which you can sand out and smooth it but you wouldn’t be able to do the same with a moulding plane which why I would love to see a tool maker invent a moulding plane that is skewed. So far no one has yet met the challenge of making one.
21 August 2014 at 12:49 am #61490Thanks Salko, I didn’t know that. I thought moulding planes could do end grain, albeit not as easily as long grain.
Has anyone another opinion on how to cope with end grain using moulding planes? Or are they practically useless for end grain?Ricardo, I’m working on getting my first couple molding planes so I have no hands-on experience yet, but I have read conversations online that you can mold end grain with a very sharp iron and taking thin shavings. I also read that some people carve the end grain to match what they did with their planes. I’m not really sure what would be more common, but I did run across quite a few conversations so if you want to research I can confirm that a google search will bring up more info as well.
21 August 2014 at 3:35 am #61494You can take thin shavings yes the tearout will be less and if you have a matching profile butt that up against the end of your stock to stop breakout or spelching they call it. It is no different to raising a panel with a hand plane if you go horizintally across the end grain you will get tearout and spelching but if skew the plane you will eliminate it. This is the reason why it was not a common practice of using moulding planes on end grain in earlier centuries.
