Is there any plane that will cut a dado ( cross grain) in the same fashion as the plough plane? I’ve only chopped my dado’s with a chisel and a router plane. Now that I think about it, a router plane with a fence might work.

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!

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.

So I purchased this “vintage” Stanley number 7 jointer plane. I’m really happy and excited with it. I did a mild restoration, basically just cleaned everything and reassembled. I noticed the adjustment lever is hitting the top of the tote. The frog is very adjustable on the this model so I’m at a loss. Maybe this tote is not the original?. What ar…[Read more]

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.

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]

Hello all. I’m going to be building this 5 panel door. I believe i’ve worked out most of the joinery and techniques to have a success build. I do have a question on rabbiting the stiles and rails for the step down. The problem I’m going to run into is rabbiting the stiles. They need to be stopped rabbits where the rails meet. What technique should…[Read more]

So, I’ve tackled a couple smaller projects with some success. A wall clock, dovetail box and tool tote. I gave the sofa table a whirl. I’m thrilled with the result. I followed Paul and did not deviate from the tools and techniques involved. I omitted the the bottom shelf do to lack of material but I don’t mind. Red Oak from Lowes and a shellac…[Read more]
