So I just finshed my tool/wall cabinet. Built from boxstore pine. The doors are poplar from a sawmill and maple ply from a boxstore. The drawer fronts and shelve fronts are walnut that my uncle gave me. Its a very ambitious and doable build. Just don’t rush it

I watched the cornice vid and it looked straight forward. I would have to make a round bottom plane or find one somewhere. One thing I do know is i’m terrible at tool making.lol

That’s slick looking. Great job!

My most recent and catastrophic mistake was veering from the plan and attempting to remove part of my grooved cherry doors in order to set glass instead of a panel (Tool cabinet). Needless to say I chucked 2 weeks of careful door building work into the burn pile. Trust me, I learned from my mistake.

All this is remarkably cool. As far as the lateral lever, it still operates as it should. All that is happening is it’s wearing the top of the tote. Really no big deal to me as “something” is not original and causing the clearance issue. I sharpened the iron per the Paul sellers way and it’s freaking scary sharp and cuts a beauty of shaving. Thanks guys!

Already order an original one from NHplaneparts off eBay. He’s supposedly the go to for stuff like that

That’s awesome Harry. My first old Stanley! $30 off eBay seemed worth the risk.

So I took more pics today. The front tote screw is missing but the holes line up. I have frog as far forward as I can get and still get shaving clearance. The plane does take a beautiful shaving and seems to perform just fine.

thanks larry.

I’ll post the info up tomorrow.

I too would like to know of a technique to plough a dado. I have a veritas plough plane that’s amazing. Not sure on ploughing cross grain

Hey thanks for the info Nate. I actually was thinking of both these ideas. I may go with the pinned molding over the mitered. Then again I may just omit the molding all together to help simplify the build. It is my first door after all. Plus hand tools only will increase the difficulty. Thanks again.

That’s a beauty. Congrats

So my plan is mortise and tenon the rails to the stiles first. Next will be to run the plow plane on all rails and styles equally to create the grove for the panels to slide in. No issues so far. It’s the step down or molding that that picture frames each panel section. I really just wanted to create a shallow rabbet on both stile and rail to p…[Read more]

Wow, great job!
