Need to clean up a moulding profile? Use a side snipe or a snipe bill plane. Visit: www.blackburnb... to order books, and to enquire about or sign up for individual and small group lessons in Woodstock NY.
I have to say if it wasn't for you I'd never learn about planes like this. Even that they exist. I really appreciate you sharing Graham. You're a good man. Thank you.
I love how ingenious our elders were at solving everyday problems. I will also say I am enjoying your books too. I look forward to your videos I like others learn so much.
Sometimes, the side snipes can be useful to clean up after an electric router as well! I have used them to clean away unsightly burn marks where the cut went a bit wrong.
Great explanation of those planes. Would love for someone to do an extensive dive into Moulding Planes and their many uses. Really Enjoy your videos and teachings. Thanks
Wow thanks for sharing Graham. I appreciate your really direct and understandable explanation of these different types of hand planes, they can get pretty confusing.
🌲🌳🍀🐾👍So, a "side snipe" moulding plane, does basically the same thing as a Stanley "side rabbet" plane. Before watching this I knew a bit about moulding planes, but hadn't heard of "snipes", I've seen them, just didn't know what they were called. Thanks for the enlightenment🎃🐾🍀🌳🌲.
I have a decent collection of wooden hand planes that I have collected over the years and your series is great for telling me what I have and how to use them. It is time for me to stop collecting and start using.
Graham, I was literally going to ask you to do some content specifically on snipe bills; imagine my surprise when I see that you’ve just released some. I have a great pair of snipes and have been looking for more opportunities to use them. I use my No°’s 4, 6, and SR’s more than anything, but the quirks that the snipes make are delightful. Aren’t they also used in laying out/building up more complex moldings where they are in fact part of the plan? Or are that purely curative planes; much like a scraping plane/smoothing plane as final finishing tool. I don’t plan on looking into side snipes just because I’ve already had really good success with my side rabbets; especially with tuning sliding dovetails. I’m glad at least to have had this video confirm my suspicion
Hey, thanks for the great content. What is the name and or number(s) of the metal versions. I picked up a couple wooden hand planes, bead and plow plane, at a flea market this weekend. Highly inspired to do so from watching your videos.
Amazing.. Thank you Graham. You mentioned that Stanley re-invented the plans in Metal, but did the electric Router eliminate need to re-create the molding planes?
It made mass-production quicker but some quality was lost, so if you're mainly interested in one-of-a-kinds, the wooden planes are still prefered - and many are actually being remade again!
I've heard of these planes before, but never knew exactly how they were used. Thanks for the great information. I will now keep my eyes open for a set to add to my user collection.
I hesitate to suggest a correction, but a quirk is a flat within a moulding. It isn't the groove alongside the bead, it's the flat bit at the bottom of the groove. The same term applies in stonemasonry.

My pleasure!

Yes! Thank you!
Thanks for this never heard of this type plan before.
You're welcome!

That's a good idea!

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
I was taught to call your side snipes 'side rabbets'
Used obd just last week to widen a groove.
Thanks for showing us how to use them on mouldings
Glad to help
Thank you
You're welcome

Again, thank you.
You're welcome!
Thanks a bunch, Graham! That's a true lesson! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks, you too!
Thanks! Enjoying your videos!
Thanks for watching!
Nicely done . I look forward to all of your knowledge and generosity you give with each video . Blessings
Thank you so much!
I'll have to start hunting for some snipe planes then... very neat.
Check the web - they're still available.
Danke!
Bitte!

Thank you Graham. It's been fascinating to learn about the myriads of hand planes from yesteryear.
Glad you enjoyed it
thanks
You're welcome!
Thanks. Good to learn something new
Glad to hear that!
Appreciate the deliberate instruction and intentional pacing.
Thank you!
More hidden gems to be preserved - thanks.
You're welcome!
That just perfectly answers a question I had while using a beading plane last week. Many Thanks Graham.
Glad to help
I have been woodworking for many years (as a hobbyist) and I'm ashamed to say I had never heard of snipe planes until now!
Check the web, they're there, both old and new!
@@gjbmunc I don't dobt it I just feel so uneducated!
I have a decent collection of wooden hand planes that I have collected over the years and your series is great for telling me what I have and how to use them. It is time for me to stop collecting and start using.
Go for it!
Thanks, Mister Graham. How about a discussion on how to used hollows and rounds?
I'll do another episode soon.
@@gjbmunc Thanks, looking forward to it.
That was very useful. Thank you very much Graham!

They can indeed! Good luck!

The metal versions often referred to as side rebate planes. Here Graham pulls out a Stanley no. 98/99.
@@nicolaisimonsen8040 Thanks
no 99 and no 79 (double)

I've used my side rabbet (rebate) plane far more then I expected. What is the metal plane equivalent of the snipes bill?
Not aware that Stanley made one, unless there' s an iron for the no 45 combination plane.
These are called «guilhermes» - («williams») in Portugal. You just can't find any except in museums...🙄😮💨😠
That's funny, in France "Guillaume" (ie. "Williams") is a rabbet plane
Pleanty for sale on the web.

Don't really know about stonemasonry but all my life I've heard the quirk referred to as the groove. Thanks for the correction anyway.
