wooden hand planes for cutting decorative moldings. some needed 2 people one pulling a rope the other running then basically riding on the plain and the wood being worked.

Ill have to study up on that. The link would be cool.


These are the fancy type hand planes and their cutters (blades) that I am familiar with that cut decorative moulding and the cutters dont look like the above. The item above seems too wide for a moulding cutter.

That was a joke and I removed it but not fast enough...sorry. Please post the link.
This one that shows these very unusual plane cutters you posted.

I collected and sold the older wood body planes as well. These decorative wood mouldings were made with a series of more simpler blades. There is no need for us to be going round and round on this subject. Just post the link, please, that shows these highly unusual blade shapes (labeled knives2) so we can all learn. I could be wrong but it appears you posted some pictures of the finished product decorative wood mouldings and mistakenly labeled it as Knifes2.

Fancy wood moulding cutters from Carpenters Plows are very similar but are about 1/2 to 1/3 the width of what you posted. Look in my links above. It takes several blades to cut a moulding like those pictured. Good guess but IMO not a plane cutter.

www.southern-tool.com/store/13moldercutters.html as i said these are profiles of modern ones and yes
moldings were made with multiple planes and some made with a single blade.The planes for large crown moldings would be the 2 person type and single bladed. The one in this post looks like a chair rail molding profile? I believe a (this old house) episode shows the operation of the 2 person type.

With all due respect,I appreciate your enthusiasm and lesson,but this object was found in a very remote mining camp so I cant see it being a wood working tool?

Ah great link of modern blades. Thanks. Its always best to post the link with the pic if you have it. Maybe there is an older blade this type but I have not seen it. But I could be wrong. It would be for a very special application and impossible to find a pic or link. I missed the part where you stated these were modern profiles. Its amazing all the special tools that are made today.

This is a website that sells antique molding planes.

I don't know if the object is a blade to one of these.
