Hi everyone,
I have a moving fillister plane I bought from LV. I wanted to share with you how I have added the auxiliary fence to convert/modify it to raise panels. I cut a piece of bubinga at 15 degrees and used some threaded inserts to attach it to the fence. Thanks to the skewed iron on this plane, it does quite a remarkable job cross-grain. I also have had very little tear-out due to grain direction. Any tear-out was easily cleaned up with a shoulder plane. I know panel raising planes can be expensive. With this $10 CDN add-on you now have a plane that serves two purposes. I almost sold this plane in the springtime but I am glad that I decided to keep it. The attached photo is a test piece I whipped out in about 7 minutes.(CDN) 🙂Attachments:

Thank you. I like to share ideas that save people time and cost.
Have a look at my Stanley No. 113. Apparently these are very rare.It works well on convex and concave curves. Maybe one day you might stumble across one in your travels. Nice work on that arched panel.Attachments:

A compass plane will do convex and concave in a straight plain.
Still will not do shape on fielded arched panel. 🙁
I achieved that by using Marking knife, hand router, sharpest of chisels, and a small shoulder plane. Maybe could use a scratch stock modified like I done for stringing.
Hard work but very satisfying. -
