All this Drawer Groove talk
Jim in Burlington On
>What about making one? I know Rob Cosman makes and sell them so they exsist. Does anyone have plans in a book. I was meaning to drop into LV they have a new wooden plane book maybe something in there about making one. Let's get a general plan together and make a few.

>I'm confused. Now I will be the first to admit that this is hardly a new or unique occurrence for me, but non-the-less I felt obliged to express it.
What confusing you?
Jim in Burlington On
>It's pretty simple there must be plans out there to make a wooden plane that just does drawer bottom grooves. It will look like a molding plane.
Re: What confusing you?
Paul Kierstead
>Ah, never knew such a beast existed. I thought you might be referring to this, but I found no references to one. Makes perfect sense though; you could almost pretty much not even have a movable fence or adjustable depth stop.

That's how they were. Cheap, reliable tool.
Sometimes called a drawer bottom plane, despite cutting a groove in the side of the drawer.

>I used a groove plane from a tongue and groove set. It has a fence and the blade is 0.3" wide.
Dan C
It's called a #48
Jim Reed @ Tallahassee
>puts a groove 1/4" from the edge. The plane comes with a 5/16 blade, but for this groove you can use a 1/4 or even 3/16 blade. Pretty handy and the plane is easy to hold.
or a nr. 39

Re: Knight Toolworks
Dean in Burlington
>I had Steve Knight build me a groove plane. He will build any plane you want to specifications. I said I wanted a 1/4 groove 1/4 from the side and 1/4 inch depth for making drawer grooves. He build it like that and it was like 110 bucks so It's not worth my time making one.
Dean.
Picture of it?
Jim in Burlington On
>How about posting a picture of it. I'm sure someone has a book that has drawing of how to make one.
Re: Picture of it?
Dean in Burlington
>Geez, anything else. I mean you could have just probably walked down the street to view it in person :)
Notice What it says at the front.
Thanks

>I live in the downtown core. That pic gives me a good idea of what one should look like. Thanks Jim

>The rest of us thank you, too.
Hmmm.... Are we seeing the beginning of a new grass roots tradition on the WC Handtools Forum?
Stand and Deliver! A Picture or a Harangue? Heck, I thought it was just the turners who required immediate visual gratification. We've been watching too much TV for too many years. You might argue that a picture is worth a thousand words, but look at the cost in bandwidth: a 40k picture vs 1k for a thousand words. :^J
I have made grooving planes...
Ellis Walentine
>...sometimes for a single purpose, out of an old chisel and a block of wood. Once I made a flush cutting grooving plane to plow a groove for the flange of a piece of weatherstrip to go around a rabbeted jamb set on a custom entryway. It took about half an hour to make, ten minutes to get the job done, and I never used it again.
I think a #45 would do a fine job of this.

>I think that book on Krenov style planes had one. I made like it. It was a flat piece of woull into which one sawed a pie shaped slot, and thenrouted the bottom flat. Drill a hole though to provide the opening for the escapement, and then glue a cheek on top. fashion a wedge. I used a reamer to shape the hole further.
