The miter shooting board is not even finished and it is already making itself useful; I am using the base and the two 45° fences to hold the top guide (which eventually will end up on top of the fences) so I can comfortably plane its edge to a 45° angle. I tried other ways of planing this 45° angle, but they all involved holding the plane at 45° and I found that very tiring and hard to make small corrections. Being able to hold the plane as usual really made a big difference. #MiterShootingBoard #ShootingBoard #WorkbenchAppliance #HandToolsOnly #Woodworking
The miter shooting board is coming together; only the top guide still needs to be cut to length and attached. The feet and the fences sit in shallow dadoes; only the part of the feet and fences closest to the plane track are glued to the base board; two screws on each side hold the whole assembly together; the screw holes in the base board farther from the plane track are way larger than needed so the base is sandwiched tightly between the feet and fences, but still free to expand and contract. #MiterShootingBoard #ShootingBoard #WorkbenchAppliance #WhiteOak #HandToolsOnly #Woodworking
