Great video but can I ask, on your shooting board should the top piece of ply be thinner? Will the plane not remove some of this during the shooting process? The shooting boards I have seen have a top piece narrower than the width between the edge of the plane and the start of the blade.

The man is a carpentry and woodworking genius. I really need to save this video somewhere and definitely use it as a reference for when I have some serious projects. However, I don't know when that will be. And yes his jig at the 10:17 was pretty fucking genius, however I would love to see John McGrath make the same jig and use a hand saw for a longer cut. But I guess everyone got to start somewhere and this seems like a great place to start for me.

The bottom of the plane (when it’s on the shooting board) has no blade (i.e. the area to the sides of the mouth). If you keep it flush with the base, it won’t cut because of that.

@andreachinaglia58044 жыл бұрын
it works like it is done in the video only with a high quality plane like the one he uses, that has the sole perfectly and the side at a perfect square angle, thing that sadly is often not true if you use a cheaper plane. in that case the shooting board has to be tweaked to compensate the error of the plane, probably the simplest way to do it is to don't glue the 2 pieces that form the base of the board, using only screws, so you can add some paper strips to one or the other side, and half the number of the strips at the center to avoid that the upper piece bows. it needs a little tries to get the exact number of strips needed to compensate exactly the plane error, but you have to do it only once, checking the results on a test piece until you get it with the edge perfectly square to the face and to loose the screws a little inserting more strips is very fast. i hope that this can help those that can not afford a high end plane and use a cheaper but decent one, with the side not perfectly square to the sole. too cheap planes are not functional and should be avoided, but there is a middle ground of planes that, with a little setup and if is needed with a replacement good quality iron and chip breaker, are perfectly functional and as good as the high end ones for most of the uses. only with very figured wood, very difficult to hand plane, a high quality plane is really needed, even if there is nothing wrong in buying one, if someone can afford it, as surely make to learn how to use an hand plane much easier (but the master carpenters of the past centuries created masterpieces with wooden planes with low quality steel irons, the hand of who use the tool is much more important then the tool itself, so sometimes if poor results are obtained it is not the tool the one to blame...).
