Urban Ore #19: M. Crannell 5/8” Ogee Moulding Plane

This is part 19 in a 20 part series: Urban Ore

Picked this guy up for $12.

M. Crannell made planes between 1843 and 1892. However because this is an M. Crannell and not a Bensen & Crannell, we know it can be dated to 1862 to 1892, because the earlier Bensen and Crannell planes date to 1843 to 1862.

This is a normal Roman Ogee that cuts 5/8” wide, 1/2” deep. Perhaps a nice little detail for a box lid or base. Not sure where I will use it yet, but it’s the smallest Ogee I own. Could also be used to raise a 5/8” panel, but might look strange because it’s a symmetrical molding.

Don’t see any pics?

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

A lot of what I'm seeing that you've found is really interesting. We have a Habitat ReStore in our city, so I guess I'll have to peruse the tools more carefully. Never seen anything like that there. I donated a Porter-Cable router guide because I have the Incra setup for my router table now. FAR easier to use. I just spotted a chest and mirror with the most gorgeous QSWO grain. I's coming home with me tomorrow.
