  • Is there a cheap tool/technique that will allow me to a shape a bullnose shape into MDF that doesn't involve buying a whole router? Trying to shape the size of two window sills I'm going to install

  • Moulding planes are considerably cheaper than routers (unless you have a moulding plane collecting habit which some do) and are traditionally what an apprentice would be using all day to make mouldings for their master.

    Vintagetoolshop is a decent place to buy them.

    Also can be done with a block plane and sanding paper.

    Edit. They can be tricky to hone.

  • On the subject of vintage planes:

    Is there a specific technique to getting the blade to stay put (and true) in one of these?

    I've got one we used to use as a doorstop pre-kids and I sharpened up the blade the other day. It worked really well... for 2mins.
