> Find an old molding plane with the proper shape.

The wife dragged me through several antique shops a few weeks ago, I wasn't interested until I found the tool section. Came home with a couple of bead and cove molding planes that cost $AUS8.00 each (thats about the same as Canadian $), also got an old #1 morrel saw set for $8 it's about 100 years old and works as good as new, If I tried to buy a new saw set I wouldn't get one of the same quality for anywhere near that price. Now I'm the one who says "lets go to the antique shops!" They had a ton of old molding planes, unfortunatly, I didn't have a ton of cash.

Paul.

Is the weight saving worth it?
