But a Lee valley mini shoulder plane does none of those things. Building a tool to make it work was required. When you build your own tools you should build them to suit your needs. If you don't need a molding plane, don't build one. If you need a tool that flexes, don't build a rigid tool. I am curious where the shavings on Nick's tool end up. He stuck a shoulder plane in a board. Do you take the plane out after each stroke? Will it choke before you finish a stroke? On a molding plane the curl out the side. On a home-made long tool with an iron similar to a molding plane secured by a wedge you can build it with a variety of bed angles or skews until you found one that wouldn't tear out. And they would be cheap enough to make that you could have two- one for each side, so you could plane back to front on each side. You could even experiment with a bullnose version so you could plane a strip all the way to the end of a piece that abuts another. Copy the idea, improve on it, whatever suits you.
