Plough Plane. Leica/Lumix Macro-Elmarit 45mm

I have been working diligently these last months at my woodworking.  No machines other than a gig saw for rough cutting; only hand work.  Many years ago I bought a Record 045C plough plane.  It was on  sale at a tool store in Cape Town along with a bunch of different cutters for forming grooves of different widths.  There are many ways to make mouldings for furniture projects, all of them involving routers and shapers with the attendant noise and dust production.  Now they must be made by hand, and the plough plane, long dormant in its box, is the tool for the job.  Record and Stanley supplied a bewildering assortment of cutters which, when used in combination can produce any moulding profile one could care to imagine.  The best part: they can be found on eBay for very short money.  Plough planes have a "skate" in place of the flat sole of a regular smoothing plane.  This forms the reference surface for the cutter which is guided parallel to the edge of a board by a fence.  The Blip shows a fluting cutter (which will produce a curved groove) seated in the plane.
