Comments |
|
1. Arrange workplace; check, adjust and prepare tools. | |
|
2. Scribe profile edges acc. to drawing. |
Mark dimensions onto the wide and narrow faces by means of the marking gauge. |
|
3. Clamp workpiece in carpenter's bench with the edge to be bevelled showing upwards. | |
|
4. Plane chamfer up to edge markings by double plane and trying plane. |
Take care of constant distance between face of plane and edge markings. |
|
5. Check straightness of bevelled narrow face (chamfer) by straightedge. | |
|
6. Measure planed chamfer width by means of the rule. |
Measure at the workpiece's beginning and end and repeat it in regular length distances. |
|
7. Reclamp the workpiece, wide face showing upwards. | |
|
8. Apply straightedge to wide face and place against profile marking. |
Straightedge should slightly overlap the marking towards the face to be planed out. |
|
9. Secure accurate-to-size position of straightedge by clamps. |
Clamps should clamp together the straightedge, workpiece and carpenter's bench plate. |
|
10. Plane out the material up to marked rabbet depth by means of rabbet plane. |
Move rabbet plane in straight line along straightedge and always rectangularly to wide and narrow faces. Take care of direction of wood grains. |
|
11. Loosen and remove the straightedge. | |
|
12. Reclamp workpiece in carpenter's bench with the narrow face to be provided with the rabbet profile showing upwards. | |
|
13. Re-plane rabbet up to marked rabbet width by means of the rabbet plane. | |
|
14. Check flatness and straightness of profile faces by alignment and by means of an applied straightedge. | |
|
15. Sharpen dull plane irons. | |
