In this video, I re-think the traditional shooting board design and create a new ramped version that has many benefits! This is how I made it...

Matt, I’ve only recently discovered your channel and as a person who has been messing around with wood for over 50 years, I was intrigued what I could learn. Well, in short, the analogy I would make is that it’s like driving. I think I’m a good driver but obviously have formed some poor habits. Watching your videos has taken me back to the beginning again and using the skills imparted to review and develop my working practices. I was never that guy stropping chisels by using his own hand but had settled into a ‘that’ll do’ approach. Thanks for taking the time to teach and present. An old dog can learn new tricks………W

John Caulfie- I bought one of Tico Vogt’s shooting boards a couple of years ago to use with the Veritas shooting plane... absolutely first rate. Just today received Veritas’ Shooting Board fence for angled shooting that i am going to adapt to the Vogt Shooting Board’s Aux Jig platform, that should fit it pretty well. Tico also uses MagSwitches to attach the donkey ear and 45deg fence. A ramped shooting board and the Veritas Shooting board plane is a wonderful thing to experience.

Matt you do an excellent job of explaining your thought process at every step. Although this is the most hilariously over-engineered and complex shooting board ever made, watching you work is fascinating. Plus there are multiple details that could be incorporated into a real world shooting board. The friction free material for the plane to slide on is simple but brilliant. That tiny sliver to make the bottom edge of the plane stand off 1/2 mil is genius. I knew I’d seen an alternative to the dado and filler strip between the board and fence but couldn’t remember where. The threaded inserts to mount the fence and provide for a future miter fence is a great idea. I also love the simple sacrificial fence with adjustment slots. I did start laughing when you milled the edge of your gorgeous plane to get that outside edge square. I completely understand your objective and if you have a mill then why not?

Matt, somebody may have commented on this matter. If you try to make a 45 miter, you'll create a compound miter. If you want that to work, you'll be cursing your advanced trigonometry teacher and your skills dealing with the angle to rest your plane on. Others have recommended a slight convexity of 0.006", but I can detect the flaw in miters even with that little. Thus, I use my Paul Sellers version when shooting miters. Good idea though.

I have pretty much just found your channel and am enjoying your content. The video I watched before this one was the Surrey Timbers trip, which led me to view their website. I was surprised to see they sold a Matt Estlea kit, and your explanation at the end now makes sense. It’s my birthday in March, I will be asking for the cabinet kit and taking up your lessons 😁 Cheers.

@choimdachoim9491 4 жыл бұрын

Before I commented I checked other comments and sure enough, as already commented, why not a hinged, adjustable shootin thingie that accomodates a variety of thicknesses? And let's be real...maybe one in ten thousand will buy a Shooting Plane so the thingie has to be built for ordinary planes. By the way, it's refreshing to see that you're mortal and have to figure things out on the fly like the rest of us sometimes. It's a big relief to see you having to scratch your head and solve little problems as you build. Up until I saw this episode you've been completely intimidating. Now I know you're a human.

@BobBlarneystone 5 жыл бұрын

I haven't seen a ramped version in a long time. It's good that you've brought it back.

@thomasgronek6469 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video. Option 5 : Super glue a wedge on the side of the plane, wide end of the wedge near the tote. With this we have two benefits: angled blade, and full use of the blade. Just an idea.

@MAVideoFunnies 5 жыл бұрын

Interesting idea for using the full width of the blade and I can see the shearing angle of the blade might also lead to a better finish. Only issue I can see with this design is that because you're working at an angle across the end of your board it has limitations on the width and thickness of your board when compared to a traditional shooting board with an equivalent length of track.

@to_a_nico 5 жыл бұрын

thats badass

@psiclops521 3 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I can't afford a shooting plane and track, so I was thinking how to make an attachment for my no. 4 that would make it like a specialized shooting plane. I was thinking about a bed that would tilt the plane to get the skew angle and also have a handle that made it usable when laid on it's side. I figured I could attach it by removing the knob and tote and screwing into the holes for them. This makes sense to take care if the skewed iron angle and then all I have to do is the handle.

@jimtaylor4764 4 жыл бұрын

You are AWESOME!!!

@pgtips4240 3 жыл бұрын

For your job I can see why you opted for a downward workpiece slope as you have the angled shooting plane but for most people I think sloping the workpiece up would be a better option to prevent tearout. But this is a really great video, I love the idea.

@OrangeGeemer Жыл бұрын

By adding a ramp you are skewing the blade, resulting in a lower cuting angle if using the jack plane. On the shooting plane you are actually increasing the cuting angle by getting the wood closer to a perpendicular meeting with the blade.
