How to make a Hand Plane Shooting Board | Another Jig for my Acoustic Guitar Build

[@homebuiltshop]

Just wanted to let you all know that I messed up on the terminology. I'm making a Dado with the router, not a Rabbet. Guess I got so fixated on the Rabbits that it never occurred to me. "Mistakes are proof you are trying" is what my daughter always tells me. Sorry about that.

Shooting boards are super useful for woodworking. Loved the rabbit joke. Great video!

[@homebuiltshop]

Thanks!

[@getenlightened]

Simple and effective, good job!

[@homebuiltshop]

Thanks! I'm sure this will come in handy for tons of things.

Great video for a simple but useful jig. I have made several. Waxing the wood where the plane rides will make it easier to push, too.

[@homebuiltshop]

I need to get some more wax. Once I do I will probably wax it.

[@Caballeroscuro78]

The best !!

[@robertr4193]

Would you add anything like a wax to the area where the plane ride to help make it as smooth as possible and reduce friction from the body of the plane against the shooting board?

[@homebuiltshop]

After using this a bit more after making the video, I did add some paste wax to just the area where the plane rides.

Doesn’t the plane wear against the plywood, where you may end up with a slight depression in the edge? G reta idea, been wantng to make one, and yours looks easy enough.

MORE LEFTY WOODWORKING!!!

[@homebuiltshop]

Lefties Unite!! Lol.

[@rickessegern1920]

How do you confirm that the upper board is perfectly straight to guide your plane? Or, do you trust the factory edge on the plywood?

Fixture.

[@dalgguitars]

What would we do without Harbor Freight clamps!

[@homebuiltshop]

I know right! Lol.

[@MOHANMSHARMA]

What is the length you have taken?

[@FrugalFixerSpike]

You could flip footage, make for right handed folks, lol

[@homebuiltshop]

Yep. That would work too. Lol

[@rodkuehn6146]

I thought you would've put one of those little clamps on the backside as well hold your piece in place sorry man I'm a carpenter for 40 years

[@homebuiltshop]

I thought about that, and once I get to really using it, I may just add one.

[@lescobrandon9772]

Was that a Wascally Wabbit?

[@Dunc2222]

Not a rabbet (or rabbit).

[@rodkuehn6146]

Hey big guy I'm pretty sure you got your terminology wrong what you're doing is making a Dado Not a rabbit

[@homebuiltshop]

Lol, You're absolutely correct. Guess I messed that up.
