In my shop the shooting board is standard equipment.  Once you learn to sharpen and use a hand plane, a good shooting board will do more to increase the accuracy of your work than any other tool or shop implement.  Here is why mine works so well:

  • Made with an MDF base and a Baltic Birch plywood top for stability and long wearing properties.

  • Formed over a curved mold, the board has a subtle cup on the underside, this keeps the plane standing plumb.

  • Fence and cleat made from abuse-resistant and tough tropical hardwood.

  • Fence glued and screwed to stay secure and square.

  • Rabbet cut in Baltic birch to prevent plane from cutting shooting board.

  • Fence positioned several inches from the rear to keep plane running straight.

  • Available in left and right hand models.

  • Available in two sizes, 24" x 12" and 18" by 12".

If you prefer to buy rather than build, let us send you one that is ready to use.

Great quality workmanship.

I got me a new 4 1/2 to use with the shooting board. Over the years I’ve lost a lot of strength in my arms so pushing the piece against the plane being held tight by my other arm is sometimes difficult. However, I’m learning.
The ward is very well-made. I got the smaller version which is more the size for the type of work I’m doing.
Well, done, Rob!

Perfect

Shooting board performs perfectly. A huge bonus is that it is beautifully hand crafted. Such a pleasure to use. Only negative is I wish shipping to Hawaii was less expensive.

Excellent!

I've been using the shooting board for a few weeks now and it's just what I needed. While I sometimes feel guilty about buying tools that (in theory) I could make myself, I have no regrets here, since it's far better than I could have built on my own.
