Making a Classic Panel Moulding Profile

Introduction

So I have this router bit called a "Classic Panel" bit that I bought years ago from Lee Valley Veritas.

When I use it, it's usually on my router table. I like how the profile looks upside down. I may actually make another moulding plane for this profile. However for now, I decided that I can do it with my old (~ 200 yr old) Fillister plane along with my newly made Round and Hollow moulding planes.

Layout

I started by laying out the profile in pencil at both ends and along the top and sides of the Pine stock.

Starting the initial planing

Next I started with my Fillister plane making a rabbet that will be the transition between the two curves.

You will notice the little vertical line between the two curves. This is how far down I make the rabbet depth using the Fillister plane.

Here is it at full depth

Next I make a small rabbet on the corner of the top curve. This allows me to run my Hollow moulding plane.

Once this is done I then make a chamfer with my Rabbet Moulding Plane on the bottom curve that will allow me to run my Round plane to make the bottom curve.

Using my Hollow plane I then follow the top small rabbet to make that curve

Then I follow the chamfered corner with my Round moulding plane to shape the bottom curve

Done

This now completes the profile. (On the left)
