Thanks for sharing. Bicksford wrote a book via Lost Art Press on making moldings. The one thing I recall is him talking about hogging out some straight grooves so less work is needed to be done with complex curve blades. If you are doing a fair bit of molding, it might be worth looking more into it. If you don’t need that much may be quicker to do like you are planning to do. All good problems to have.
Yep, I've seen that. Would definitely be easier pushing. I just keep trying to find a way to make it as efficient as possible. Having to go over the same piece with multiple planes is jut so time-consuming. I love using hand tools, but I also like to be productive! Thanks for watching!
A lot of times the most useful info isn't what to do, but what not to do. And it's really handy to learn from others. So don't apologise for getting it wrong. You were just nice enough to lead the way 🤣
Thanks for that. I got a 55 some time ago, but never figured out how to use it, apart from basic beads and grooves. Also I've been trying to figure out how to turn small beads (spheres) on my wood lathe and think that a one of the small bead cutters from the basic 55 blade set might do the trick.
Glad you got something out of it! As for the lathe work, I'm not an expert turner by any means, but I agree a bead cutter would work. Just be careful how you hold it as they are very small, put it in vice grips or make a handle of some sorts. Also, you'll only be able to make one size with it, so learning how to make beads with a spindle gouge or even a skew chisel is probably the best way to go for the future. Just opens up more options in terms of size and even speed. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the update and since your last video my Veritas combination plane arrived. It's really nice. A Stanley 55 would have been cool but, I'll get by with this ;)
Yes, that is a way to do it. Just looking to be as efficient as possible, but in the end using multiple planes might be the most efficient way to do it. I'll keep you posted! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the support! And, thanks for watching!
Great info. Thanks! I need to take out my 55 and try these techniques.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Wax is good for drill bits too, especially on metal.
Good to know, never tried that!

Thank you for all your time and effort. 1in7

Mistakes are an essential part of learning. That's why we practice before the actual project

Wow, you got it wrong, this definitely going on your personnel file. 😂😂😂😂
This is really like the a analogue equivalent of cnc programming.
Ha! Thanks for watching!
Would it not save the cutter if a basic shape was hogged off with a jack plane?
Yes. You can break down a complex molding with multiple rabbets & that would save a lot of wear on the complex irons.😊
Yes, that is a way to do it. Just looking to be as efficient as possible, but in the end using multiple planes might be the most efficient way to do it. I'll keep you posted! Thanks for watching!
