   Tony,

   You can cut the tongue with a rebate plane, coming at both sides of the board.  Still available new.

   The groove should be cut with a plough plane (or grooving plane).  These are only available second-hand, as far as I'm aware.

   Cheers,

   eddie

   thank you for the suggestion.

   btw, there are still new plough planes on the market, like the one from E.C.E

   in Germany http://www.fine-tools.com/divhob.htm

   Tony,

   A Stanley #12-250 Multi-Plane will easily cut tongues and grooves.  I have one and I'm delighted with it.  It doesn't do everything, but what it can do it does very well.  You can get them new from Garrett-Wade, Highland Hardware and Woodcraft (IIRC) among others.

   If the Stanley doesn't shine your shoes, there is the Clifton/Clico Multi-plane that will do everything anyone might want--at about four or five times the cost of the Stanley.  The Clifton is sold by Highland Hardware and Woodcraft.
