[attachment=21895] For the thin stuff...I rely on one of my mitre boxes, to give a square cut....and, any angle of miter cut I need... Of course..I am dealing with wood.... [attachment=21896] Of course, this could be a shooting jig...for my circular saw.... Cuts with a mitre box...the hand power variety [attachment=21897] [attachment=21898] Then again....if one can't saw to a line......YMMV RE: Shooter Conundrums - Derek Cohen - 11-24-2019 Steven, don't take it so literally - I was just yanking your chain. The thread is about shooting boards. Regards from Perth Derek RE: Shooter Conundrums - bandit571 - 11-24-2019 hmmm.. [attachment=21906] Shooting a pair of boards...at once...

The Veritas BU jack has a reputation for shooting ... and it fits my price. But.... I took a few photos a while back of my favourite shooting board/bench hook. I have expensive shooting boards and expensive shooting planes, but ... This must have taken me all of 30 minutes to build for a hand tool workshop I gave. Since then it has been used frequently. It has developed scars and I don't care. It is made of a piece of scrap pine and scrap maple. When it is dinged enough, I'll make another. Cross cut saw a drawer side ... Then shoot the end ... Regards from Perth Derek RE: Shooter Conundrums - JohnnyEgo - 11-25-2019 I made my first shooting board this year, when I got my first actual bench plane. I am running a 5 1/2 jack plane, and am generally pleased with the results. It works quite well, and I am getting good enough with it in practice to where I can see how a dedicated shooter like the 51 would have it's advantages. At some point when I have the disposable income not dedicated to other things on the priorities list, I plan to purchase the Veritas 51. But in the more immediate term, I plan to make an inclined shooting board such as what Derek pictured above. |
