| Description : | This plane is made from a rectangular block of wood with a wooden handle on top. A long metal cutting iron protrudes from the bottom. A thin metal strip is fastened to the side of the plane with five screws. |
| Commentaires : | Moulding planes were used to decorate surfaces of furniture, door and window frames, cabinet work etc. The cutting iron of the plane is shaped in reverse of the profile desired in the wood, and there are many different moulding shapes that planes could have. This particular plane would create a deep groove in a surface. Often moulding planes were sold in sets of 8 to 16 with a variety of dimensions and shapes. Customized plane profiles were also common. The bottom section of the left (longer) side of the plane is known as a fence, and would allow the user to guide the plane in a straight line near the edge of a piece of wood. The bottom of the shorter wooden piece attached to the right side of the plane is a depth stop, to ensure the plane would not cut into the wood more deeply than desired. The "3" printed on this plane may refer to the depth (in inches) of the cut it makes. Moulding planes are generally not used vertically, but instead are held canted over to avoid problems with changes of direction, and to avoid problems of the plane scraping instead of cutting. This plane was originally owned by Morgan Engram of Milltown. It was sold to Parsons Lilly of Milltown, father of Clyde Lilly. Clyde Lilly donated it to the museum. |
