Rob Cosman's Shooting Board: 18 inches

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.
