Shop Update 12/16/16 Moulding Planes & Sticking Boards

Over the last week I have been sticking quite a few mouldings and getting questions about the planes I use and the sticking board I work on. So this week's update is all about the few planes you need to get started and the sticking board.
I've got more posts on my web site on mouldings and moulding planes if you visit www.renaissancewoodworker.com/...

I find your ytube productions to be very informative and demystifying. Since I started eyeballing your site my skills relating to plane work have improved tons. Thank you for the great stuff.

[@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork]

You are the best. Just discovered Rebate Moulding Planes and making picture frames with them. Bought some on craigslist, and plan to copy the designs and make my own. This craft is quite a rabbit hole. Now to build a sticking board....

[@robertbrunston5406]

Great explanation and demonstration! Thank you.

[@What_Other_Hobbies]

The screw plane stop is a great idea.

[@chrispokorney6801]

Sure wish you would make more content, dealing with moulding planes. GREAT JOB !

Thank you Shannon, that was most helpful.

[@robertbrunston5406]

Thank you Shannon this is very informative.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome stuff, thanks for the info!

[@marc-andrepetit5277]

Wow! Nice information there, thank you for sharing!

[@theoldplankwoodworks2415]

I've been looking at buildings sticking board so I can use some of the moulding planes I have picked up along the way and inherited....like your design, and how you can adjust the screws, simple and effective

[@chuckhart8970]

Thanks Shannon that was helpful.

[@davidclarke5313]

Many thanks for all the info, you got it across in a particularly clear and accessible way.
I have to confess, though, to three slightly contradictory responses to your advice on which to buy:
1) Oh, that's good to know because I had been worrying about the costs
2) Bummer! That's one less excuse to buy a whole set of shiny new toys
3) Don't even buy one! It's a gateway drug!
:-)

[@caaaarter]

Be great to see how you adjust and how you sharpen the irons

[@squirrelsrus1]

Makes me want to make a frame for my anarchist's tool chest poster.

[@neilpemberton4652]

Damn it! after watching your handsaw video I ended up picking up a pair of D8s and now this?? 😃

[@neilpemberton4652]

Great video by the way. took a lot of the mystery away 😊

[@sc2Chevalier]

An now I want to do molding for some reason.

[@annarboriter]

Is that a lefthanded modern, wooden fillister? details, please

[@guyjones4936]

I have around 40 of my Great Grandfathers moulding planes and I am perplexed how the devil do you sharpen these things. I want very much to use them and I don't want to damage them sharpening them incorrectly!

[@RenaissanceWW]

Guy Jones I use a narrow grinding wheel dressed into a curve for the concave irons and a regular wheel for the convex irons to shape the bevel. But rarely do I grind them and instead do most of the honing on a strop or fine diamond stones. I have a video on sharpening curved tools in my library here

[@guyjones4936]

Thanks! I will look for it!

[@waltwalt3282]

How do you secure and work on very thin mouldings?

[@RenaissanceWW]

I always stick a moulding on a wider/larger board and then only after the profile is shaped do I saw it away from the larger piece. I then hold that strip in a vise to joint the back/glue side flat. There is a purpose made vise called a Raamtang that is perfect for this.

[@waltwalt3282]

@@RenaissanceWW thank you

[@luismigueldominguez5487]

I have a question sir, are your molding planes for left handed?

[@RenaissanceWW]

the ones I bought new from MS Bickford are left handed. However all my vintage molders are right handed. Its a good idea to develop a basic feel for ambidexterity with hand tools....especially if you are left handed. I actually have a lesson about this in The Hand Tool School because I've found quite a few benefits to being able to change hands in the middle of an operation.

[@luismigueldominguez5487]

@@RenaissanceWW thank you sir, I bought some very old moulding planes in boxwood, really very , very nice, but without wegdes and irons..... Well, I decided make a new ones..... And in this moment I noticed they are for left handed!!!! And maybe are one hundred years ago, 😀, a nice find..... Saddenly not very useful for me, but very rare.

[@RenaissanceWW]

@@luismigueldominguez5487 Why not useful? You can use a left handed plane right handed or you can just switch and plane left handed.
