Modern Practical Joinery by Ellis advocate cutting a number of grooves with a plough and then using a chisel and mallet to chop out large chunks of waste and bringing to size with a rebate plane. Having used this method several times its quick and would even work on the beveled stock you use for your last illustration, as long as you used a narrow iron.<br />A fillister can be used as long as you don't want a sticking board in the way and you start with the rebates furthest away from the edge, but it is often limited by the depth achievable from the depth stop.<br /><br />I like the new posts, which contain some real nuggets of information, so thanks for writing. Regarding the free 3/16" side bead, a generous offer but as I've already got one (not one of yours, something a hundred years old) I'll leave it to someone else.<br /><br />Cheers, davidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
