    I saw Mr. Klausz hand cut dovetails in some narrow pine boards once. He was talking to the crowd and just cutting and chiseling away. About 30 seconds later he shows a perfectly cut dovetail corner. I was amazed.

    What talent. I wish I had known you when you had your cabinet shop. I will have to settle for your videos My grandfather was cabinet maker but passed away just before I was born. I remember going down to his shop in the basement where we lived and playing with his tools. God knows how many tools I lost while playing with them. The ones I have I cherish. The playing there led to a life as a master mechanic working on cars.

    People had so much pride in quality craftsmanship back in the day that has been replaced by mass production mdf garbage. I live I custom built house on 10 acres from the 1960s that use alot of turn of the century items being discarded from 1900s home being renovated and now I am restoring those items from 120+ years of use and I totally appreciate what went into the crafting of those items by hand.

      I bought an old plane from craigslist and used it to square up some boards to laminate together into a tabletop.
      Planing down and getting that beautiful sound and just the right resistance against your push is an almost religious experience. Amazing.
      Table turned out nice too. :P

    Frank, Two things...#1) I can't belief anyone would give you a thumbs down on this video. #2) Many years ago I worked at a furniture mill (in the planning/Molding division). We hand ground knife stock for upper, lower and side cutting heads to produce molding and even round stock.
    My guess is that you have a template, probably cut into a thin steel plate like cabinet scrapper stock like we did? We would apply steel blue to the knife, and scribe a line along the template onto the knife stock with a carbide scribe, then hand grind the knives on a low speed grinder. My questions is, how do you grind into the steeply pointed valleys of the knife stock? Or do you make you knives a completely different way than we did at the mill?
    Thank You

    That is some plane and it runs like a dream with Frank
    Back in the 60's when I was an apprentice joiner,our workshop was near a lot of up market Victorian hotels; the site carpenters would send in a small piece of skirting board and ask for us to make up 200 ft or so and we had to match it up with a variety of wooden moulding planes but we did not have a plane like this. Nor could we because all the mouldings were different. Those were the days
    Thanks for the video and yes I would like to feel the finished work piece.

      Hollows and rounds. These individual planes along with a rabbet plane and a snipes bill can make any moulding. You'd create a dedicated moulding plane like this for something you need to make frequently.

They had to make the tools to then make the piece and be explained to me they probably made all those mouldings in the house by hand. Now I know how they did it. Thank you sir.

    many years ago I read about sharpening gouges and V tools that you take a piece of wood and use the tool you want to sharpen to chisel groves in the wood both right side up and upside down and then use honing compound in the grooves and use this like a sharpening stone to keep a pristine edge. So using this same technique here, the piece of moulding he just made he could rub honing compound in it and use that to keep the blade pristine ( use this on the bevel side and a flat strop on the flat side). Of course as someone else already said you don't allow the blade to get dull you keep it pristine while it is still sharp.
