Tom King Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I've been looking for one of these in good shape for years. This molding is found in every 18th and 19th Century house around this part of the country that I've worked on. I have a couple of custom router bits in this profile, but nothing is an exact replacement for a molding made by hand. It is a standard cutter profile for a Stanley 55, which I have, but it can't do the same quality job that a dedicated molding plane can. I put in a ridiculously high bid (for me), but got off fairly lucky. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LITTLE-USED-SIMS-LONDON-COMPLEX-MOULDING-PLANE-/181807125777?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=AncWKsp27QcaylhklZQmM2WSbUM%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Pretty cool, Tom! Personally, I'm not energetic enough to plane moldings by hand, but you are right - nothing beats the appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
