Here is another project you might like: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oX2dxbmJm8TefrA.html

Clamp the plane to the board, clamp the square to the plane, clamp the stop to the square...I'm asking all relatives and friends from now on to just give me clamps for Christmas, Father's Day, and birthday for the rest of my life.

Right? I found this video tedious. Watch Stumpy Nubs and/or Tamar 3x3 make a shooting board and be amazed.

Thanks again Rob and Jake. Well done and fun to watch.

That suggestion/trick about cupping the board is solid gold. Thanks Rob!

Another little project, along with another masterclass! ‘Just what I need, , , It’s what lock downs were made for, thanks Rob.

Great work and great teaching. Once these kids are tucked in I'll be starting one in my shop.

Love the tip when using plane to cut just the high side first. Never heard that before. Thanks 😊

Thank you Rob! God bless you and your family.

Thanks Rob, Jake, and crew. I was watching a video of yours from earlier in the year, and you could really hear the problems with your lungs. I know it was difficult at times, thank you! By the way, I formerly used a wrapping, similar to you hockey tape wrap, without the twist, on the handles of my tennis racquets (then they were for sweat, now I add your twist for my arthritis). Great idea, and it helps a lot.

I enjoy watching your videos, and I have learned so much. Thinking about buying a better block plane than the one I recently bought at lowes to learn. Thanks for all you do!

I’ve watched every single video of yours Mr. Cosman. At least I think I have. I love your new 10 fav woods and 10 woods you don’t like to use

Amazing how many details to consider for this seemingly simple thing

Since you’ve only heard this 25 million times, I’d better add to that and tell you, “great work”! You make it look easy, but my experience tells me that it’s not. Those exact 90 degrees are something I struggle with. Thanks for creating this tutorial.

Excellent video. I had just made one of these before this video came out using a piece of melamine for the base and hickory for the cleat and stop. The small size is super useful for building little projects. Thank you Mr. Cosman, I always learn something from your posts.

Rob Cosm... Haha those hand stamp brands are a PITA.

Having to hold it down for however long always gave me sub par results. Thanks for all the knowledge you share, Rob. Ps. I appreciate your attention to the minutia... It counts in woodworking and shines in jig making. Cheers

Thanks for ALL the content. It's been a huge help as I've started to take my woodworking more seriously. I have two different sized shooting boards and a bench hook based on your plans. However, I'm struggling with getting my case mitres to close perfectly off my tablesaw even with a mitre sled and a digital gauge. Do you have any thoughts or plans for a case mitre shooting board for small to mid-sized parts (ie. for decorative boxes)?

@hankshaw2225

I see I'm two years late on answering what may help you fit small box miter pieces that fit prefect. I cannot not use my power miter saw for these small cuts, first it's dangerous or it splinters thin trim cuts. I cut close to my miter cut mark with a bandsaw and finish the miter using my tabletop disc sander using the sliding miter gauge.

Good video Rob. Do you think an MDF base would be durable enough for a Lie Nielsen #51 shooting plane or should I use something else for the base? Thanks for your time. Ron

I decided to make a shooting board so thanks a lot. What do you think about making a dado in that bord for the fence sit into? Greetings

Thanks for an excelente video! I have a block plane that has one side slighlty off angle (the one on the right it would lay on) is there a way around that or should I use it on the left side instead? Unfortunatelly, buying a New, better one is not an option right now..

Nice job on the miniature board and since I am new to your site what can you tell me about your shop apron. Looks good

Great video Rob, thank you! But I have to say that I want to challenge you on making a version for the large percentage of people that do not have a cabinet makers table saw.

The miter is on the same side as the fence and supports the length of the board, so it won't twist, bind and kickback.

Merry Christmas, Rob. You said that you would explain why you set back the fence on the shooting board. I must have missed that part of the video. My guess is that it is to ensure the plane does not rotate and cut into the back edge of the fence, blowing it out.

Hi Rob. Love your videos and projects. Only problem I have is that in the UK we tend to use metric measurements. Would it be possible for you to add these on screen every time you discuss sizes? I know it’s more work for you guys but it would really help as I struggle with inches!

@RobCosmanWoodworking

3 жыл бұрын

I will tell Luther, but I think Google has an easy conversion tool too

Great ideas and techniques. Concave or convex front to back (cleat to fence) would make the board more difficult to use (and wouldn’t look good), but I don’t see how it would affect the cut. The blade is still perpendicular to the top surface. Side to side would throw off the angle of the cut. Were you just talking about convex being more stable to use? Thanks fir the video!

@RobCosmanWoodworking

3 жыл бұрын

If the ramp the plane is on hetd slightly convex( a belly or dip) then what will happen is that the front and back of the plane will be touching however the middle of the plane will not be touching since it’s convex . So as you push from the middle of the plane as the plane is sideways you will force the middle of the plane down into this convex belly just throwing it out of Square. Inducing a very slight hump in the shooting board prevent this from happening

I see that you glued down the fence. What do you do when it gets out of square? Or does it never?

very cute little shooting board! What do you say to creating the rabbet with the block plane after the top is glued. i.e. glue top without rabbet and then run the block plane until it cuts the rabbet as deep and wide as it needs?

@RobCosmanWoodworking

3 жыл бұрын

I would not do it that way because i want a bit more clearance for the blade than that method would hive

Hi Rob, a check with a square on the shot piece would have verified the squareness of the fence.

Great project Rob! I am very curious about the tape that you have on the handles of all of your clamps and many other tools. It appears to be athletic tape or something similar. I would love to know the method you use when wrapping them that results in the raised rib that spirals around the handle..

17:21 are we supposed to make a cut using the fence and a mitter gauge together or it's only for masters...?

I am in complete agreement that everyone should have a router plane in their workshop. I love playing with my Hag's Tooth.

Rob- I couldn’t make out whether the rabbet on the plane edge guide is up or down. I’m assuming up. Is that correct.

Curious, the size of the rabbit on the top board...? And do you hold the fence back to the edge of the rabbit, or a little further...?

That was an awesome video. Great explanation. I’m curious about the tape on your clamp handles. I assume you do that because they’re hard to grip which is a pretty blemish I have. How do you get the ridges in the tape?
