Looking at that suitcase with the example mouldings, do I see a curved one too ? I've always been puzzled at how they used to do this without routers - I very rarely see a sideways curved hand plane, but I do see curved moulding... . I know about scratch stock and applying steam bended strips, but suspect there must be more master skills to discover. As I'm slowly carving out a double-curved strip, any help is welcome !hhdesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850528069485192133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946335513933776810.post-3416739572709917862011-10-18T11:07:09.800-04:002011-10-18T11:07:09.800-04:00John,

I've done like you said and I've started at the begining of you blog although I'm not at the end yet but loving it. <br />Bought my first moulding plane the other day and it cuts a perfect little bead with two strokes, I have a router that does the same profile but takes longer to set up and makes alot more noise and dust. I think that I might, on occasions, be able to bring a moulding plane onto a building site and not get laughed at, especially on restorations. <br />Thanks again.<br />AlvitiKev Alvitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992625860900617194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946335513933776810.post-29550830301847773912011-10-17T11:24:07.373-04:002011-10-17T11:24:07.373-04:00I like your title the best.
