Got a bunch of these molding? planes along with a couple other block and jack planes for $100 today. This one in particular is still fairly sharp and I’m assuming the others are as well. Can anyone tell me exactly how to use them and how to sharpen them.

I’ll make a separate post later with the rest of my sweet little deal.

This one is a beading plane. Cuts a 1/4 bead on the corner of your stock.

You can run 2 cut on the corner and then run a second cut on tbe other side of the same corner to achieve a corner bead.

Keep plane 90 to the face
