I won’t lie I have to admit I completely judged this book by the cover. Didn’t think you would have a cannon on ya. Color me impressed sir.
Doesn’t the hand plane blade catch the edge of the shooting board platform and the backstop board at least for the first few passes?
thanks for the information – recently started using my hand planes more. May be a crazy simple question, but it would seem like the plane would shave your reference board, i.e. the board that your target board is sitting on. How do you avoid this, do you have to make your reference board lower than where the edge of you plane blade comes through the plate. If so, does this require a shooting board be designed based on a specific plane geometry/ Sorry if this is obvious to everyone else, not obvious to me – thought I would ask. It also gives you another comment for your YouTube algo.
So, if a dado is a "trench" in the wood going across the grain and a groove is a "trench" in the wood going with the grain, what do you call a "trench" in MDF?
What keeps the plane from planing away the shooting board?
Is there a way to do this without using a dado blade set on the table saw? My table saw is dead.
so this may be a dumb question, but if I had a table saw to make this why would i need a shooting board? won’t a table saw make perfect cuts?
I was literally just making a shooting board! And I was doing it this way without glueing in the fence. I like the tip about chamfering the edges to make it easier to go on!
I’ll be honest I’ve been with working for a little over seven years now and I have never made a shooting board after seeing this I think it’s something I could have used 1000xs by now so this is a must have in my shop. Idk what took me so damn long haha! O and nice shot!;) #tapeballchamp
Can’t wait for your next video cause I need to learn how to saw straight. Awesome jig can’t wait to build. Thanks
Great. Thanks. Straight forward but with removable fence, exactly what I was looking for. Gonna cook your finish recipe as well and give it a try while I’m at it.
Well when I see you throwing things into a trash can, I quit watching.
😃👍🏻👊🏻
Is this a shooting board video or a Katz-Moses saw stop sales video? HaHa! You rock Jonathan!
I simply glued scrap woods together, I see no issue with this is extremely simple variation. I don’t see how it should get non-square. Only difference tough I don’t know if required, but I thought it was a good idea to make the grain of the shooting board (base and fence) go with the planer, so when I hit it’s edge on accident, it doesn’t chip.
Such a richard.
Great video, but many of us hobbyists are not blessed with a workshop full of power tools. So here’s a challenge for you: How about showing us how to make something like this using only hand tools?
Great sport if you have a dog.
Nice, functional and all of that. Only… it is ‘premier league’. Dado stacks, expensive and almost limited to de good old US of A or machines you will hardly find in a hobbyist shop. Pulling out a ‘piece of cherry’ yeah right, thats my wood budget for half a year. So nice vid, like to have this board but not in my reach. Thanks.
Was about to ask a question but at 9:30 you answered it. I have the beeswax to make a lot of this, just need the food safe mineral oil to do it.
When using a shooting board, can you use a #4 plane or you need to use a low angle jack plane?
Thanks for sharing. How does your reference surface stay perfect when you plane?
I don’t understand how you just shoot the piece your working on and not be planing the side of your jig down? I have never used a shooting board before so I might be missing something.😁 Thanks!
Please cool it with the background music. It is too loud and quite annoying.
Great video. Do you have any advice for making this without mechanical saws? I don’t have the space/money for a table/mitre saw so would love a shooting board to help with sawing. Just wondering how to set it all up nice and true. Many thanks
What about getting chip out on the back ? For some darn reason i keep getting chipout ??
would I be able to use a shooting board to plane a 30 degree bevel into small wood parts?
It’s cheating at Tapeball if you do it with a retriever.
Love your videos, they’re educational and useful with minimum time invested to build the project, that’s what I like most.
If it’s too complicated, a lot of audience loose the interest of building it!
I had my Shooting board accommodating my Veritas Jack plane but I installed the leading board on a piece of Plywood finished with Poly so the handplane glides easier and no wax needed.
I also added a "guard" rail so the plane rides on its side in between without moving away from the piece.
I thought I’ll share it with you all.
But i don’t have a plane….. lol
I think yourself and Matt Estlea should do a collaberation on something. You guys complement each others work a lot, would work well.
Recommend an engineer’s square. Mo betta.
Mr Cosman and myself are known for stocking up on these:

Can I borrow your shooting board so I can make a shooting board?
How about some ideas for some easy to make Christmas gifts?
Cool!…indispensable jig for zero cost….+ Lie Nielsen no. 7 plane…$425… jajaja …(serious envy) ’till then break out my little Stanley block plane. Time for a shooting board update…this was perfect-THKX!
***raises flashlight to face*** Some say to this day he is still rubbing his hands together…
just kidding… love the video
I just don’t understand how your plane does not cut into the shooting board also.
Great job, I found the removable fence quite interesting, a good idea. Do you know about the nickel trick for adding a little more more to fitting two different pieces when the angle is just a little bit off
making this today!
Haha I had a tape ball that I made from the scotch tape from teachers desks. I didn’t steal it. I was collecting it. 😤
This ball had to be probably 7” around. I was so proud of it. I don’t know what happened to it. 🙁
For the channel in which the plane rides, I suggest using Slick Strip . Adhesive backed Teflon (I think). Keeps plane clean of scratches and moves like silk.
I finally got off my ass. Watched this video again then went out to the shop and built it. In no time I had one. Thank you sir.
Dude, the can was tilted, doesn’t count.
Is that a golden?
.Have not used one before but there are two things I dont get:
First, your planer needs to have a very precise 90 degree angle. Is this really the case? My one is timber, but ok, could by an american steel one instead of using brit version.
Second, I have not got the measures. What I mean, you dont want to hit your shooting board with the blade in any case, right?
So, your MDF needs to be less thick that the distance between the blade and the side of the planer, right?
But why is your cherry part flush with the side of the MDF board? Why not recessed by 1 mill or so? You dont want to cut it.
But if recessed by 1 mill, you risk splitting the workpiece if planing end grain. So in this case, you plane from both sides half?
