When it comes to making certain moulding profiles you have to take into consideration how the sole of the plane will hold up to heavy wear. If the profile focuses a lot of friction on a relatively small area then it will likely not hold up very long. A very good example is the quirk of a beading plane. You simple don't see beading planes without boxing. The quirk would very quickly wear away without it. There are other places that you would see boxing used in profiles and even boxing for fences. I talk more in-depth about boxing in a post here. I thought it would be interesting to share my approach to installing boxing via a video. The process is essentially to make strips of boxing. It is not easily described how I rough out the boxing strips but it involves a slot cutter. All the strips are roughed out over size and then individually fitted to the groove cut in the plane body. I cut this groove at the table saw. The process is involved but when done right it can be glued in with hide glue and just tapped into place with a hammer and that is it. I do not use any clamps to secure the boxing while it drys. Even without the glue the boxing would be difficult to remove just on the friction needed to tap it into place. This is an approach I learned while fitting mortice and tenon joints in chairmaking. If you could push the tenon in about half way and it stops without using more force (hammer) then you have a perfect fit that glue only adds a bit more confidence in the joint withstanding stresses in use. The hide glue also acts as a lubricant to make tight joints slide together, unlike a PVA which would bind and lock up in this situation. You'll notice that the video ends suddenly since my memory ran out right at the end but you get the gist of the process from this video. :) I hope you enjoy!

When I first started using and writing about wooden moulding planes, there was only one modern maker with a full line of planes: the pioneers Clark & Williams (now Old Street Tool).
4 discarded Moulding Planes made into a coat hanger rack. It is a shame that Moulding Planes are not really used by most carpenter nowadays and with the patination along with some of the planes have the names of the owner it felt right for them to carry on being used albeit for a different purpose. These original planes were probably passed on from carpenter to carpenter and were last used at a builders company called Woodward & Co in Dulwich which is now sadly defunct

Junk shops and flea markets are hitting me hard in the wallet--but boy is it worth it!
I've never seen anything like this before. It is a cornice plane made by Philipson around 1750 and it's a valuable thing. Although made in England it would almost certainly have been made for the US market as all the English cornices were made of plaster and not wood. Here is the profile of the blade which must be 4 to 5" wide. Amazingly the plane is still in working order, the owner Richard Arnold is the one doing the pushing and Richard Maguire is pulling, this is definitely a two man job. Richard believes they would have relieved some of the profile first with smaller moulding planes leaving the monster to clean up the overall profile. The wonderful brown oak bench mentioned in my previous post can be seen in the background, my apologies for not having taken a better shot, maybe better shots will turn up on the Maguire blog http://www.theenglishwoodworker.com/ which is well worth looking at. Here is the finished softwood profile which was remarkably crisp and even. Richard (Arnold) and his wife freely gave up their weekend to bring a fine selection of antique planes for the benefit of the show goers. Although he had stiff competition from Veritas and Lie Nielsen as well as my own stand, I think the prize for the biggest pile of shavings at the end of the show had to go to Richard........ and all done with 200 year old planes!
