Basic Woodworking Shooting Boards
In this video I build a set of basic shooting boards for use with my hand planes
Looking back over what I was building years ago, I am somewhat ashamed of the quality of what I was making. It wasn’t that my builds sucked, they just lacked the percise perfection that comes from hand tool woodworking. So I have made an emphasis to learn more hand tool woodworking, and improve those skills. In that, I discovered the importance and the precision of using a shooting board. So once I saw how many of the pro’s out there utilize this jig, I knew I had to have one, or two
So what I decided to build was two shooting boards, that would provide 3 functions. First is a standard square cut. The same board is used to get tight, precise miters. And the last board is used to get tight panel miters, which is a huge bonus for small parts and boxes. If you want to see how i made these boards come to life, check out the full video HERE.
