Popular Post MrRick Posted October 27 Popular Post Report Posted October 27 (edited) This is a Classic Ogee plane that I made. It worked well but a little difficult to use because I originally made it as an "unsprung" plane. It's now a "sprung" plane. I reworked it improving the fence by lengthening it on bottom left side and also lengthening the depth stop on bottom right side. On the nose I scribed in the "Spring" lines. This is how the user tilts the plane while using. You are looking at the nose here. The fence is on the right and the depth stop is on the left. It now works very very well! Here are some photos of the profile it makes. The first photo shows the actual profile it cuts. Here, I've cut the Classic Ogee profile on top and bottom along with some beading. On top I added a strike button Here's a bottom view Thanks for looking. Cheers! Mr Rick Edited October 27 by MrRick Gunny, JWD, lew and 2 others 4 1 Quote

JWD Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 I have one un-sprung molding plane, they are definitely harder to use. Nice modification, I like it! Grandpadave52 1 Quote

For sure a "Sprung" moulding plane makes life easier when using it. Normally "springs lines" are placed on moulding planes where profiles are complex and require accurate repeatability when making your passes. Simpler profiles like hollows and rounds don't have them.

JWD Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 This was a shop made (not by me, vintage from the look of it) bolection profile. No spring lines scribed as far as I remember. I've seen vintage professionally made (with makers stamp) planes without the spring, but it's unusual. I think in the case of my plane it has to do with the full half round necessary for the profile, a little difficult to do with a spring, but not impossible. Grandpadave52 1 Quote
