Under the category of "How'd they do it?" with acknowledgement of the many number of ways to tackle any problem: "How did they used to" form the thumbnail edge on drawer fronts, with particular respect to the problem of end grain? Was this a common handplane? I almost never see this kind of handplane, yet with so many drawer fronts produced in the olden days, it must have been a straightforward and almost daily procedure. This makes me think that standardized, perhaps commercially available tools, would have been developed.
What do you guys do? I'm thinking of electron free methods, of course. I've always done this with a router in the past, but in my infinite quest to make an infinite number of things infinitely more difficult, I gotta figure out how best to do this by hand.
Thanks.
