    Hello Graham, so wonderfull to see old traditional woodworking techniques in this day of power tools, jigs and idiots. Retired cabinet maker now, in Canada just a glorified production worker dealing with morons in the shop. None could understand my 60 plus handplanes, handsaws, and real cabinet chisels, not to mention my books from Tage Frid, Krenov, Ian Kirby and the lust goes on. You are welcomed sight to true cabinet making and traditional tools! Thankyou again Graham. Bryan from Canada.

    Does what you did with the hollow apply to making astragals? I have trouble making astragals and other similar profiles that are large portions of a circle. I approached the astragal by starting with a square or rectangular bump roughed in with a plow, then taking off the corners with a rabbet, and finally trying to smooth it all out with a hollow. I struggle with flat spots and shape. Seeing what you did here, would it be better to just start with the square bump, lay the hollow on its side, and work up and around like you did? Is that how you would approach an astragal (assuming you don't have an astragal plane)? Thank you for the excellent video.

    Hi Graham! Thank you so much for the lesson! Is there a way to invert the parchment fold so the sharp spine in the middle is a fine groove? Is there a nane for a plane that does V-grooves like that, or would you need to use a V-tool/chip carving first, then round over as in this video?

  • @gjbmunc

    @gjbmunc

    Жыл бұрын

    There's no reason why the sharp ridge could not be reversed and the two center 'pages' were rounds instead of hollows. It's just the way it was done originally. And yes, it's perfectly possible to plane an inverted spine -a snipesbill plane would do this.
