I loved the dueling shoot-out (or whatever we're calling it today). I really like the ultra flexible option even though mine is just pretty simple plywood 90 and another one for 45. The one thing I learned was a "right" way to build these (not that there's one right way) is to ramp the bed for the plane so that the plane drops or rises as you complete your trim. On narrow trims it's not a big deal but on wider cuts it evens out the wear on the plane iron a bit. Very nice work, though... I hadn't seen the Veritas angle fixture and the aluminum bed. I think my board needs an upgrade. Thanks for the video.

@robohippy 11 ай бұрын

Well, got my track, and glued up some 3/4 plywood, which was "cabinet grade', but not apple ply. Checking the plane with a square after, the plane tipped one way on one end of the track, and the other way on the other end of the track. Went and got some melamine shelving material, and did it again. This time it was better. If I was going to use 3/4 plywood again, I would run it through the drum sander. I did take a shoulder/rabbet plane to remove the layer of melamine, and glue a piece of Ipe to it for my fence. I will have to add screws to the 3/4 pieces of melamine I glued together..

I’m tremendously disappointed in myself because he said at the beginning the veritas shooting track was made for the veritas shooting plane and low angle Jack, but it didn’t occur to me that it absolutely would not work with a general vintage Stanley. Expensive woopsiedoodle on my part. Thought I’d post in case it might warn some folks. Trying to decide if I should hacksaw off the back edge to make it work.

James, have you tried an engineers countersink bit. Here in the UK, I've seen them called a snail-bit (after the curls they can make) or a deburring bit so I'm not sure what they are in the US. I only have two but I've used them for years and they are fantastic, no chatter with really smooth countersinks bores - would never use a conventional countersink again. The collaboration with Rex was great, hope you get to do more.

@recloakedworkshop 3 жыл бұрын

Hi James. Really enjoyed these two videos, thank you. The only problem with yours (and I only noticed this when I saw it at the end of Rex’s video) is that when you use the adjustable mitre, the corner of the fence appears to intrude into the path of the plane.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 3 жыл бұрын

That's why there are slots in the back support. You can easily loosen the thumb screws and slide it so that it will adjust to any angle you set it to.

Hey James. I like the collaboration with Rex - it makes the topic more interactive which answer most of our questions. We learn so much from the both of you. A question I have is: which hand plane is most appropriate for use on a shooting board? I have a crappy no.5 and it's right side (I'm right handed) isn't square to it's sole - can i use a no.7 instead? It might be a silly question but I ask so that I can make the shooting board accordingly. Thanks. Looking forward to more collaborations.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 3 жыл бұрын

The side does not need to be square tot eh sole. the iron needs to be square tot he side. that can be changed with the lateral adjustor. I prefer a #5 over a #7 but everyone is different. give it a try and see if you like it.

My original thought was 16 in was enough as my current shooting board is about 16 in. The kit from Veritas comes in either 16 in or 24. If I had it to do over again I'd do 24 in.
