BLOCK PLANE ENP VIEW SIDE PIECE (11/6 x r/e- V4 Hdbd.) IV Chamfer PlaneSIDE CUT Va" x 14" DADO FOR EXPOSED BLADE CROSS SUPPORT x 21/2 - '/4 Hdbd.) TRIANGULAR RUNNER (% x % - r/s) 3/e"-DIA. RARE-EARTH MAGNET A block plane makes quick work of chamfering the edge of a workpiece. To ensure a constant width and angle of the chamfer, I built the base shown in the photo above. It slips over the plane to make V4" chamfers and doesn't require any setup. The base is simply two triangular-shaped runners glued to a pair of side pieces. Then cross supports are glued into notches in the front and back to hold the sides together. Two rare-earth magnets glued into recesses in the runners hold the plane securely in place. A shallow dado is cut in the top of the runners at the mouth of the plane for the exposed iron. The base is easy to use. With your block plane in the base, position the V-shaped groove of the runners over the edge of the workpiece. Then plane the workpiece until both sides sit flush. It worked so well I made a second one for Vs" chamfers. Frank Penicka Mount Pearl, Nfld., Canada A P.A. Jones of Gig Harbor, WA, stores her veneered edgebanding in empty cookie tins. Since the tins seal tightly when closed, they keep the edge banding organized, safe from damage, and protected from moisture until they're ready to be used.
