Transition of platforms in british education 3210

Planes used by joiners and cabinet makers for fabricating wooden moldings. (My unintentional use of the British spelling "moulding" must have come about because I've spent much of the past two days looking at articles from the first half of the century in The Musical Times, mostly concerning Henry Purcell's 1659-95 music and its revival during the late 19th and 20th century. By the way, I find a striking resemblance between their letters column at that period and a typical Usenet newsgroup, possibly one in the alt hierarchy.)

Big honkin' handheld spinny things you can buy at Sears, with an appreciable-fraction-of-a-horsepower motor and a sharp twirly bit that will machine away wood or other materials. With appropriate bits and accessories (such as a router table to mount it in) can be used to fabricate moldings, or so I am told by those who know about such things. (Me, I'm not exactly terrified of power tools, but recognizing my utter lack of training in their use, and being still somewhat attached to my fingers, all of which I use professionally, I steer well clear and leave that sort of thing around here to my spouse, a former organbuilder's buttistant among her many other accomplishments.)
