" Election moldings we've got several samples here. Are any molding where the center profile or a middle profile is higher than the ends and this is a good example of that but we're making one that's inspired. By a colonial house known as the Winslow Crocker house right and we basically said to you copy this using hand tools yes so how do you go about doing it."
" Well I'm pretty much the same way as it was done traditionally we were replaced the plow plane. With using a a table target date overhead wooden plug groups now what. But this is sort of how the piece begins as just a rectangular section in the end we draw the profile on here. And then it gets plowed in different stations different stages it gets give some grooves plowed -- like. And then it gets also beveled off to reduce most of the wage which is at this point here at this point here in this is really where we start and on each end we take and Trace. The actual profile but that these wafers are what we use. To replicate it we keep a sample of these we have have to make another piece sure. Now which. Planes will you be using for this well we're gonna be using three planes and these these two planes are modified hollows and rounds. And hollows and rounds are as the name implies that -- will cut either a hollow plane cuts a round shape on a round plane will cut a -- or create what we've done is with we have. Added some fences to these that give us a depth stop. And we'll stop on. What will be our our fillets that we've plowed in here moments aren't flat part of a plot costs from its restaurants in this one what was wounded and this one puts a little thumb nail molding on the it is just on the very edge there and that's the same kind of molding that is on the fielded panel. Wall here as well -- proceed we want to watch."
" So you want to make one full pass each time. -- yes thanks. The procedure. Code. Necessary to do better all the time because these planes have stopped. -- All right so now you have to switch planes right that's right we're taking the thumb nail plane. And we're reducing the other side. If there right. And this -- then reduce the fillets that it will give an accurate cut with this plane when we go back. They'll be actually several passes it will take. Continue to each time finding it sometimes the grain changes a little and the fewer cuts you take of like cuts you take. Better the finish will be. And turn the piece around with the work off the other edge with this fence. With this plane that also has a fence around."
" As a skew angle plane when used to reduce the fillets here down to our lines. So that we can finish up. Our moldings for the -- come to the right profile."
" OK and once the pencil marks are gone I guess you've done right. Yes have to pencil mark half that thanks done."
