Gotta love hand tool videos where the first step is a table saw
Nice idea's to think over for me. My bench isn't a carpenters bench and hasn't a fixed vise. So I need a way to clamp the jigs, byou gave me nice ideas
“Just like that”? That shooting board was the most convoluted process in the history of joinery. I would have to watch that too many times before going out and just bloody buying one.
Miss you. Been awhile. Still come across your videos now and then.
I like the jig #3, the one that comes a $360 speciality plane.
Excellent.
Very nice! I love how you designed the shooting board. I need to make a new one, and I think I'll use your design for it.
Thank you.
Great video Mathew, really like these and looking forward to making/using them.
Great!
Love these! Great solutions for common issues. I really want that shooting plane.
Maybe this coming weekend is your weekend for that?
Thank you these will definitely come in handy
Oh good!
Hey Matt, great video! I've adopted the LN #2 plane to my work flow after watching your review and absolutely love it! Keep up the great content!!
Oh sweet! I love that plane. Glad you do too!
Thanks for sharing. I could use all three of those.
Can knock them out in a weekend.
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it!
Very good! Thank you.
Most welcome.
great video, second one is most useful, however the 3rd i would suggest the pivot point should be on the other side as this will be where most force is applied and if you are taking the time to adjust for wood movement then you dont want to risk it moving when planing
but overall great simply explained ideas, thanks
What great ideas
Hey I from CA and just moved to North GA (about an hour north of ATL). Hope you are enjoying GA!
Oh sweet! I'm about 30-45 min north.
I dig it
I dig it.
Thanks!
Wood moves more in tangent (parallel) with the rings than it does in the radial direction (perpendicular). Though, I don't think you'd really have to worry about it with a piece that small.
Lovely! only problem is I don't have access to a table saw or a nail gun or even a drill press, oh well I will have to do it all by hand the old fashioned way. You do realize that most people(non-Americans) don't have fully equipped joiners workshops in which to work. In the real world most of us work in our kitchens or in the garden(if they have one which I dont).
Yep typical American, built this DIY. Goes through 10 different assortment of machines and voila, end product eazy peazy.
Great jigs. Very well done.
Thanks!
All good ideas. I've seen and made these for my shop and they're très handy. As for the 2nd fixture, I used quarter inch plywood, rather than quarter sawn white oak. Just as stable and is actually a fraction thinner than 1/4". These seem excessive and expensive, as these can/should be made of scrap. Even the shooting board seems to be the most expensive way of addressing this needed bench fixture.
If you are planing something that is flat, I find it's best to use a reference surface that is as flat as possible. I'm never able to get that out of regular plywood. Baltic birth with all the additional ply's, yes. You don't need to use the Lee Valley track, I just wanted to.
???? You're not planing on top of any of these surfaces, you're perpendicular to them. With the 2nd jig, you can get as flat and stable an edge with a scrap of 1/4" ply as you can with quarter sawn white oak. As for the shooting board, even if you used some plywood that was less than perfectly flat, that would not transfer to the blade turned at 90 degrees. We may be misunderstanding what the other is saying here.
Will this work with a # 5 Stanley jack plane?
Nice piece. Only dispute is with the grain direction of the quartersawn fence. Wood moves parallel to grain direction, so the grain should run vertically, like this: IIIIIII.
Table saw- where is your blade guard?
Off the subject, I know, but what kind of dust collection do you have going on your table saw, please. I see no saw dust flying up at you as you make your cuts in this video. I'm having issues with mt table saw dust collection is why I ask. Thank you in advance for your help!!
As this being an older video, just a suggestion only. Use the forstner bit first, it will leave a center mark to allow you to finish drilling out the hole for your insert.
Thanks for the suggestion.
How useful do you find a shooting board when you have a crosscut sled on your cabinet saw? What advantages does it have?
It's faster to dial in a depth of cut for fine cuts on a shooting board versus the table saw and on a saw you have more chances to take off to much material ... think fitting into a dado on two sides of a case.
@@mmwoodstudio makes sense, thanks for the reply. So it is really for precision as much as it is for ensuring something is square. How much better is your shooting plane vs a LAJ plane?
Bench hooks? and a shooting board
Eh, the first two are pretty good, but I need to take out a second mortgage on my house to buy the hardware for the shooting board. Nah, I'll just stick with the piece of plywood with some cleats on it that I've been using for years. And I made it long enough to place cleats for 90, 45, and 22.5 degree cleats
I think the shooting board track is only $50.
The great way the things made but I think it is not possible to do as diy in normal wksp.
Looks like your star knob overhangs and limits the height of the piece you can shoot.
The knob is higher then the top of the blade. Feel free to make your fence any height you want :)
shooting board will not stop all tear out if its not against the plane. looks to me to be a little short.
I agree. The fence shoud initially slightly overhang the inner edge on the shooting board track and the initial passes of the shooting board plane remove the excess material for a true zero clearence backer support.
Wouldn't a shooting board be a lot faster and easier?
Baltic Birch ply for a jig?
Aw did ye aye?
Nice stuff but pricy. Also I probably own 20 hand planes. No LN’s all Stan’s. Love the LN’s but WAY out of my league. I am sure 75% of woodworkers are in the same boat. I do have several accessories for my planes and I doubt I have more than 5-10$ in any of my jigs. No offense intended, would trade my stuff for yours any day of the week.
You do understand what bench dogs are for right?
We have soooooooooo over complicated shooting boards. It’s a shooting board people! Scrap plywood, fence some screws. Mine works just as good as these million dollar boards. Jeez!!!
Right man. I I am sure it works well without the Veritas shooting plane form more than 600 Buggs.
@@dasdenny5495
Nothing wrong with the veritas shooting board system especially if you are using it all the time.
I’m curious why you would watch videos about enhanced shooting boards if yours is so perfect and versatile ? And why critique a video about something you don’t have interest in but some of us might think is informative , and we might actually find a use in our particular type of woodworking where shooting boards such as these are helpful , more accurate and offer precision we use to make a better end product ? I’m not totally sure I’ll make any of these , but I appreciate this young man’s ideas and efforts and I can clearly see appropriate uses for these boards . Have a great day !
@@TheWaonze it's a comment, get over it.
Your doing a great job dude. Just a bit of delivery advice. You could annunciate your words a bit better. You sometimes slur them together or mumble. But great content!
$500 plane, $20 jig......wtf
I like the jig #3, the one that comes a $360 speciality plane.
100% thinking that haa
