Get the step-by-step plans to build this Shop-Made Shooting Board from WoodsmithPlans.com.
The reason a shooting board is a must-have for the shop is it allows you to take a paper-thin shaving off the end of a workpiece with a hand plane — something that’s just about impossible to do with a tool like a table saw or miter saw. The best part is you can make this simple shop-made version with some MDF and off-the-shelf hardware.
Plus, you can make an optional sanding “plane” that slides along the base to fit a joint or simply sand a surface smooth.
