Get Perfect Miters With a Shop-Made Shooting Board

By: Phil Huber
This must-have jig allows you to take whisker-thin shavings off the end of a workpiece to fine-tune the fit of a joint and sneak up on perfect miters.

Fine-tune joinery with this shop-made shooting board woodworking plan. Designed for hand-tool accuracy, it lets you take whisper-thin shavings off end grain for perfect-fitting miters, tenons, and panel parts. A guided rabbet track keeps your hand plane running dead straight for clean, repeatable results every time.

This upgraded design features a two-layer MDF base with a vise-clamping cleat, adjustable 45° and 90° fences, and full angle control in between. Movable fences back up the workpiece to prevent tear-out and ensure crisp edges.

Plus, you can make an optional sanding “plane” that slides along the base to fit a joint or simply sand a surface smooth.
