LN #140 to the Rescue

[Admiral]

I"m installing some frame panels in my bathroom across a tiled knee wall that supports a tub, and I have to hide the screws which affix the panels to the tile, so I need a rabbeted molding that extends down 3/4" to hide the screws at the top.  Ok, dado blade comes out, but depth is about a 32nd off, 160 linear inches of the molding, and the #140 was the tool for the job.  I love it when everything comes together.

I bought it to raise panels in some small boxes I was making, and used it for larger panels, which is does well.  But it worked well for me this afternoon......

Quite the coincidence...   I found this picture from exactly 3 years ago in my files.   I had used my LN #140 to help with an urgent repair to some window trim rot.   It did a very serviceable job of milling some rabbets and grooves

Great story. That #140 is a handy plane to have.
