Creating Basic Shapes with a #6 Round Molding Plane

How do I make rabbets?

What are the reasons for making rabbets and chamfers? 


What can I do with a single round? Well...

No fillets, 60 degrees of circle, tips of rabbets at 30 degrees

1 fillet, 60 degrees of circle, tips of rabbets at 30 degrees

Do you want the fillet at the bottom instead of the top?

2 fillets, 60 degrees of circle, tips of rabbets at 30 degrees

No fillets, 90 degrees of circle, tips of rabbets at 45 degrees

1 fillet, 90 degrees of circle, tips of rabbets at 45 degrees

2 fillets, 90 degrees of circle, tips of rabbets at 45 degrees

Flutes? You'll need a plow plane or table saw.

  1. Again great stuff. You can do an awful lot with sketch up and it is certainly not a waste of time.

  2. You cannot believe how many little pieces of poplar I have gone through practicing everything you have presented in your blog. Once again, thanks.
