>As for making one, FWW has a couple items of interest.

Chris Gochnour's gallery views of his panel raiser. You may be able to infer enough from the pictures to run with it.

Chris Gochnour

But I recommend Norman Vandal's article on making a panel raising plane. NOTE. Must be a paid member for the PDF, but it is a great article. IF you have FWW issue #37, it is from it. The least expensive membership is, well, very little for a month's access. Well worth it as you can pull down articles of interest during that time.

Take care, Mike

who hopes the links work...

>Oops. Concentrated on the links themselves and copied the wrong name. Norman Vandel's article was to making molding planes.

The second link in my previous post should have been attributed to Robert Bourdeau...sorry.

>Tod Herrli makes and sells some nice panel raising planes. He also teaches classes at his shop here in Indiana and out at Old Mille Cabinet Shop. I think the Old Mille classes often correlate with whatever type of plane Gene Landon's students need, but last fall he taught the panel raising class out there. I tried to attend the four day class at his shop, but the timing didn't work out. Maybe I should get back in touch with him and try to go up there...

FWW index failed me

Dean Lapinel

>Mike,

I have the entire set of FWW and before I posted I did a FWW search for Panes, Panel raising, panel raising planes & panel-raising planes and all I got was issue 67 that shows how to use a 78 and a 140 for panel raising. How id you do your search? Does the index not work for older issues?

Thanks, by the way!

>John,

I can't find a web page for Tod Herrli. I was thinking of getting his video but delaying with the hopes that they change it to a DVD :)

>Hi Dean,

I have the issue--but sitting right next to me is a photocopy of that article. I keep meaning to make one, but haven't had the time. I will probably break down and simply buy one from C&W. By the time I will proabbly get around to making one, I will have raised many a door.

However, if I do make one, I'll probably scale it down and make a different termination at the top of the bevel for both a different look, but smaller for smaller work.

Take care, Mike

Good news for you Dean

>I just got email last (I bugged them about a year ago). Todd's video has just been released in DVD format. Interestingly, I also suggested Todd make another video about making a panel raising plane.

>His website is MIA, looks like. I'll try to track down a phone number for him. He is a really great guy. Haven't seen the DVD, but maybe I will buy it.

>Thanks Wendell,

>The distributor of the DVD, Anatol Polillo, only announced it a week ago (1/11) on the Old Tools list. He has it listed on his website which I've linked below. Interestingly, Lie-Nielsen and TFWW both sell Anatol's video for less than you can get them direct.

>Hi Dean. I haven't seen this mentioned--there's a couple of books that would help you. There's John Whelan's The Wooden Plane, Its History, Form, and Function. And there's Wooden Planes and How to Make Them, by Perch and Lee. Both books have sections in them about panel raisers.

Tod Herrli is a very nice guy and is really worth spending time with if you have the opportunity. Just walking into his shop with all of the planes stashed everywhere is enough to put a smile on your face.

Good luck with your plane. A panel raiser is on my list of tools to make too!

>As far as I can discern, Lie-Neilsen only sells the VHS version. Perhaps that accounts for the price discrepancy.

>Dean,

The Clark & Williams one will work perfectly, and will cut a perfect bevel on the raised portion. I've not had a need to have a matched pair of them. Expensive, but you get quality for the money, and it only hurts once.

>Hi Wiley,

I have looked at the C&W panel raising plane offering. Do you know if there is a list of available profiles that they make?

Thanks,

Jim

Re: Clark & Williams

Wiley Horne

>Hi Jim,

Mine cuts a sloping surround, and puts an approx. 45 degree bevel on the panel (raised part in the center) in the same pass. Adjustable fence on the bottom. I think that's C&W's standard panel raising and fielding plane.

Clark & Williams do not have a catalogue as such. They make planes one at a time, and there are infinite variations which are possible. Also, they occasionally make changes in the standard offerings, as they come across new 18th century examples that have great features. So what happens is, you call Larry Williams, or Bill Clark, or Don McConnell, and talk through what you have in mind--and they ask questions to further detail the plane (are you right handed or left handed, for example), and then they quote you and if you still want to proceed, they make the plane. You pay at the end when they're ready to ship. So I would imagine that you could commission an ogee profile, for example, if you wanted that. But then it wouldn't be as flexible, because the width of cut would have to be fixed.

These guys are great to talk to, and it's always an education.
