New shooting board build

- Making a new shooting board for my new low angle plane. It's made from scraps of mdf and plywood, and a piece of birch for the fence and hook. After planing the reference edges that will guide the plane, I put the main assembly together with screws; I used no glue as I was worried it might warp the board, like it did slightly with my first. For the thin piece near the edge of the mdf, I predrilled pilot holes to keep the edge from splitting off. It then needed some adjustment with a card scraper to get a good fit for the plane.
I again used screws to attach the piece that hooks to the benchtop, and then I could use my homemade 1/8" grooving plane without a fence to plane a dust groove in the track. The fence got attached with hex bolts and wing nuts, again learning from my previous shooting board where I didn't get it dead square but was unable to change it because it was glued down. With bolts, I can make microadjustments and then lock it down, and even set it slightly out of square on purpose if I ever would need that.
Finally I finished the board with boiled linseed oil for the lovely color and feel, and rubbed my homemade mix of beeswax and linseed oil on the plane track to make the action nearly frictionless.

Gillis, you make all of these hand-tool projects look easy. As one with a few nicks on my hands, thank you for sharing.
That's because I don't film the time spent scratching my head and wondering what I'm doing ;) Thank you for watching and commenting!
I’ve never seen someone put an outside rail to hold the plane in line. Going to make a new board now!
I know i watched this before but didn't comment or hit the like button . Well i do like and fixed my mistakes.
your design has two strong point, one is the side fence the other is the main fence bolted and not screwed. Nice job
Thanks! Indeed, those were the main reasons I wanted to make a new one.
Hey I made one very similar before watching your video.The difference is that the fence has normal sized bolt holes instead of your enlarged ones.I used the same wing nuts to secure it down.I figured that I only want this to be true for 90deg.so the wing nuts only need to adjust the smallest amount when it goes out.I did think about making bigger holes but I thought that it would give more wiggle room therefore go out of true quicker.have you found this to be the case with your design?? I'm very interested to know ,thanks for the vid.
Great design and use of scraps.
Thank you!
I really need to make a shooting board, Thanks for sharing!
Cool, go for it!
Har byggt en antal stötlådor men aldrig blivit nöjd. Det hugger mest när jag ska hyvla ändvirke. Är det en sån styrlist man ska ha alltså? Har inte sett en sådan förr, men verkar klokt! Kul det finns folk i Sverige som gillar riktigt hantverk med riktiga handverktyg fortfarande, fin kanal fann den igår!
Tack! Styrlisten hjälper mest till med att hyvla rakt, huggandet låter som du kanske har för stort hyveldjup eller inte tillräckligt vass egg? :)
@@GillisBjork Närå eggen är vass som fan. Funderar på att testa slipa en fas på ovansidan för att få en mindre eggvinkel. Men jag har bara ett hyvelstål. Använder en gammal Stanley No6 från någon skola.
@@GillisBjork Tror jag fixade problemet nu. Det var så lite gap för spånorna att det krävdes mer utstick, o därför högg det. Ökade gapet, och det blev mycket bättre. Sen blev det inte 90grader, trots att jag justerat anhållet med vinkelhake mot hyvelns anhåll. Men jag gjorde ett nytt anhåll likt dit med skruv, och kunde knacka in det så det blev 90 när jag hyvlade. Lite mystiskt, men det funkar nu i alla fall.
Bra jobbat, gött att det löste sig!
Thank You Gillis....TM
Thank you very much
Thanks for sharing that
way too over-engineered. Nice and relaxing to watch, though. I like your workbench, the real deal. Sorry but a simpler approach is my preference.
Is Gillis Swedish?
I'm sorry, I thought I replied to this! Yes, indeed I am.
