Traditional Molding Techniques: Cornice Moldings by Don McConnell
Lie-Nielsen Toolworks Productions, 2009.
$25.00; 71 minutes

In this DVD, relying on his extensive research and experience building fine furniture, Don McConnell is able to share forgotten methods of making cornice moldings with simple hand tools. Using rabbet planes, snipes bills and a few hollows and rounds, Don shows you how. Traditional Molding Techniques: Cornice Moldings is broken into sections including design, cutting rabbets, creating the cornice elements, and carving the fluting. McConnell has been making furniture and studying traditional tools and woodworking for more than 25 years. (This is a companion DVD to Traditional Molding Techniques: The Basics from 2007).

hubiedoo517 writes: If I don't win it I'll most likely buy it anyway. The last one, "traditional molding techniques-the basics" was awesome. Posted: 6:13 pm on June 28th

Castlewerks writes: Push me down the slipper slope. If I should happen upon this video, no doubt I'm going to have to buy Don's other video along with Larry's video on make side escapement planes. This will no doubt consume months of my life as I find yet another obsession. If I win the video, then of course all of this will not have been my fault, so.... Posted: 5:43 pm on June 28th
