It is a pleasure to see someone who knows traditional carpentry. And he executes it in a very correct way. I am a third generation carpenter by inheritance, and I am disappointed to see many here show their work with very sophisticated machinery, doing very good and high quality jobs, but without that electrical and electronic equipment, they would not know what to do. I really like to see that you know how to use the frizo boxes and their utility. You are an excellent carpenter. Greetings from Necaxa Puebla. Mexico.

Very clear description from a great craftsman. Thank you for this beautiful and timeless video. I’m deeply addicted to traditional methods.

Very clear and informative without any plane fetishism. Thanks!

Calm, clear description, matched by the quality of the video work. Excellent presentation. Many thanks.

Great video. Just acquired and rebuilt 4 moulding planes one of which is the model you just used in the video. After I reshape the blade a tad I'll build that jig and give this a shot.

That adapted marking gauge is a clever bit of business! Nice craftsmanship, too!

You are as good as gold. There is quite a few blokes copying your work in the US posting you tube. They could have at least mentioned your channel. Cheers.

A pleasure to watch a true craftsman.

Top Man Simon, was a pleasure watching a craftsman displaying his talent.

Love these videos where you work with tools that go at a human pace instead of a machines - very rich and valuable:)

Never new how this was done. Super informative.

I watched this before but I will need to watch it again sometime, learning, thank you.

Just happened across your videos. Like very much your calm demeanor and simple explanations. Thank you very much. Look forward to watching more...rr

Excellent presentation!

Thank you

⭐️ thankyou for sharing your knowledge ⭐️ 👍

Amazing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Simple and beautiful! thanks

Great job! Thanks for sharing!

Can you add video on making your molding jig for the bench? I really appreciate your videos. Extremely helpful

I agree With Graham, great job

koku you are the man....

He knows how to teach!

Well done Simon

I have a wooden cove moulding plane that does this with one plane with no jig. The plane has a 45 degree corner so that you can reference the plane to your bench at a 45 degree angle. You place the plane up against your workpiece and slide it down the bench on the reference part of the plane, which presents the iron at the correct angle to the workpiece to achieve the cove moulding without the iron cutting your bench. I suppose you could start off with another plane to get some of the waste removed, but you can accomplish the whole cove with only one plane, and no jig; just need to secure the workpiece to the bench using dogs or clamps. The number of planes used in this video seems overkill to me.

woa thats some antique tools

Thank you for the lesson, any chance for a plan of the sticking board please?

Please, what is that vise hung up on the wall in the far-right side of the screen? What is his purpose?

Did you mention the type of wood: poplar is always best, but cant tell what you're using?

Hello Simon, it seems, that I can't buy a hollow / molding planer in Germany. Do you know a shop or adress who I can buy some of these cool planers? Whats you recommandation for buying -I`m a beginner? Best regards, Karsten PS: Sorry for my english .. hope you understand my question.

Why not just use the curved blade plane to start with?

A router?

вы его ногти видели?))

Nice job, however, this to me demonstrates the possibility rather than practicality of hand cutting this type of moulding. Five planes and a slot cutter?? here i will definitely break out the router and cove cutting bit.

No, no, no never add stuff that’s unneeded, when you need to do that, you did something wrong in your design. Not for fun Scandinavian and Japanese design is so sort after, you don’t add anything that don’t have a function. Keep building granny furnitures.
