Shooting Boards Aim for Tight Joints
An hand-tool method for truing stock quickly
If you want to true your stock quickly and surely, but you want to cut down on dust and decibels, use shooting boards. Mike Dunbar explains how they’re made and how to reset a bench plane to use with one. Drawings show how to use shooting boards as a joint and square and for cutting miters. You’ll develop your handwork skills in using these boards and save money too.
