Restoring Molding Planes For Woodworking

Even though I recently built a new router table, I prefer to stick molding by hand on woodworking projects when time allows. I recently picked up this no. 8 set of hollow and round molding hand planes and thought I would share how to tune them up and get them ready for use. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! They are wonderful tools

Those really are beautiful tools, it was nice to see them restored so well.
I hope to build the router table that you built in a previous video; that came out great, too.

Thanks! I love using the old hand tools. It really makes you think about grain direction and really work for a good result. Sometimes it’s nice to run a board over the router table though. The new table is much cleaner and easier to use. Let me know if you have any questions once you start your build

Good to see you back. I always enjoy your videos!

What is the tool stand you have for the grinder?

[@TwistedWorkshop77]

It is sitting on a metal work bench.

Hello, i have a stupid question i have not got an answer so far. Why do ppl hit a wooden plane with iron!?

[@TwistedWorkshop77]

I use a metal hammer because it’s small and easy to use. Also because it’s easier to tap the wedge out of the plane with the cross peen part of a warrington hammer if needed. A wood mallet is fine too but a little bulky for me and the beech plane is pretty hard. The metal hammer doesn’t damage it

[@rostoi6985]

@@TwistedWorkshop77 al'right. I agréé for the wedge.
