Customer Reviews

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 Service!

I am thrilled that Rob Cosman offers a professionally made shooting board which is going to be essential in my practice of violin making. Now I don't have to spend vast amounts of time to make my own unit, only to find out in the end that it is inaccurate. A shooting board is critical to make perfectly square end to the maple ribs of a violin or viola, where they meet together at the end button of the instrument; This must be a perfect joint. Customer service was great, with Rob leaving a message on my phone to thank me for my order! If I hadn't been driving a commercial vehicle at the time, I certainly would have answered, and had the chance to talk woodworking and violin making.

Top quality shooting board

I had a shooting board I’d cobbled together and it was OK. But this RC one is top quality. Used it to prep some boards for a shaker style candle box I’m making (using other RC items: dovetail marker, Shawn shim, marking knife).
It was an early Christmas gift. Really pleased with it.
