Working edges on some kinds of boards can be problematic, so I made this long shooting board to help me with the process. This video shows the build process and how it worked upon completion.

Nice, that should speed up accuracy.

Nice build and thank you for linking to my video. These long side/long grain shooting boards are very useful but still not very common, for some reason.

Thank you for this, I was having similar frustrations as you and started to look around to see if these things existed. Great video, and nice plane:)

I have a commercially made tapering jig for a tablesaur (a gift IIRC) and I have not and never will use it for it's intended purpose. Maybe I can use it as a long-grain shooting board!

Hey You, and Hey to Carmonius, i'm new in woodworking by hand and kind of helpless here in Germany because there are not to many working by hand. I like to ask for the plans of both, it will help me a lot. Br Andi

I just don't get it the majority of instructors making videos showing how to do it. The all forget the first thing we are taught about hand planes.never put the plane down on the blade, always put it on its side
