This is why I love your channel. Super accurate and precise as is all your work. Adrian, you are the most inspiring artisan on the web and you encourage me to step up my wood working skills and be better. And that’s saying something because there are some super skilled wood workers out there. Keep it up Adrian.
Shooting boards are such a game changer! Those are beautiful! Glad to see you still using those Veritas miniature planes. I think they are a small game changer!
I got my box miter shooting board and it is heaven to use! The precision is greatly appreciated ❤ all your other jigs are on my wishlist now. ❤ thank you so much
Hello! I would really like a review of the most necessary basic hand tools. Or maybe a review of a minimal hand tool for a beginner. Your work and your approach in general are extremely inspiring. And the fact that you are content, as far as I understand, with a necessary and basic tool. And what wonderful products ultimately come out of your hands. As a novice carpenter, I am very interested in finding out which tool you have the most in demand. Sorry for possibly bad English. Greetings from Russia and thank you very much Adrian!
Beautiful shots, good camera work, nice tools. But I miss the essentials why and how you make a shooting board in this way. I am sure you because you make nice things. But please let us know why you do it in this way, how to work accurately. In the end I saw a nice video, but still don’t know how to make things like this
Hi Adrian, I bought your shooting board! It’s awesome, I still can’t make it work! Any tips ? Seems like I am pushing really hard and not smooth at all
Very nice. I’d love to purchase a shooting board for case miters since I don’t have a table saw and don’t feel confident I could get the angles perfect as a beginner, but no one seems to sell them. Great video!
Your video of showcasing your handtools and woodworking setup inspired me to give woodworking a try. The only thing that worries me is air filtration. Inhaling small particles and damaging the lungs paranoids me. For your setup, do you have any air filtration setup in your room?
If you watch him setup the table saw cut he moves out of frame and you hear the Festool dust extractor get turned on. Then the table saw starts. I’d imagine he wears a mask. I have seen him drag the table saw outside of the shed to use outside. Limited use of power tools allows him to avoid most of the dust.
Perfect that you posted this just as i'm planning to build 2 shooting boards! I think this will be the design I'll go for. How do you feel about the birch ply for durability? I have some hardwood i was thinking of using for the base of the 90 and the 'slope' of the 45 where the side of the plane would run. Is this worthwhile?
Thanks! My old shooting boards were also birch ply and lasted over 6 years, the ply stayed ok, flat, just the usueal abuse, cuts etc. The ild 45 rail was wooden and noticed small changes in flatness that s why I used here 2x plys glued together
Cause the blade isn't as wide as the plane :-) It's more of a difficult when you shoot the 45° angle, I might be wrong but Adrian is paying attention to keep the front of the plane on the fence.
There is a strip on the side of the plane that the ‘wear in’ area never touches. The sides of the plane mouth and a little more because the plane blade has a little gap on each side of the mouth.
Very nice mate. I'm just intrigued as you appear to use Japanese tools why you would use a Western tool on a shooting board. Couldn't you have made the same with to work with a kanna?
Thanks! The western plane is more efficient on the shooting board, one is heavy, two no wear at all because is made of steel, on the shooting board will be abused a lot planing end grain
Many thanks for the video on shooting boards. I have an old one which I need to replace, this looks just the part. Slightly puzzled by the dimensions of the fence. You give it in area which makes sense up to a point. I assume the length is 155mm as you state but then give the depth as 270mm. Might it be better to give just the size of the fence? Apologies in advance.
Thanks! There I wanted to specify the “active” area, 155 mm the fence width and 270 from the fence backwards to the end of the board. I knew I should rephrase those, or maybe make a drawing, it is indeed a bit ambiguous. No worry, thank you!
Plane blades aren't quite as wide as the sole of a plane. The throat (opening where the blade pokes out) doesn't go all the way to each side of the plane. There's a thin strip of metal (maybe 1/8" to 3/16") each side of the opening. If you have a planr to hand, have a look. In practice the blade will cut into the base board, but not all the way to the bottom. It end up leaving a small shelf the same width as the thin strip I described above, and this is what the plane will ride on.
@@PickledWhispers I thought of that, but I couldn't see if the blade reached the board on the video. Thank you for the perfect explanation, it all makes sense now. I'm gonna make guide like that to see if I can make my cuts more precise. I'm not so new to woodworking but this small delicate cuts never joined perfectly.
Is still working but not for me :) I moved my shop elsewhere one, and second most important the hustle getting the tree trunks, milling them, transport, some needed paperwork was not worth it. My father in law uses it for some some fire wood, diy wood or for vegetables seedling. Anyway it was a good experiment building it and learning about wood drying.
If you watch at 5:22 the plane will stop to bite once it shaved the amount the blade was set out. Then it will rest on that side, that distance between the blade and end if the sole.
I need to stop watching your videos. I am in serious danger of buying one of the cute miniature planes ... Once again, great asthetics. It is weird to see you use power tools, but then again you even make something simple like a shooting board look like a work of art. Almost, at least.

Wow, thank you very much! Appreciate it!
Shooting boards are such a game changer! Those are beautiful! Glad to see you still using those Veritas miniature planes. I think they are a small game changer!
Thanks! Yes, I like them a lot and use them, not just for show :)
Love this. New standard for vids on YT. Just let it been seen, no commentary. Clear and present. As it should be.
I got my box miter shooting board and it is heaven to use! The precision is greatly appreciated ❤ all your other jigs are on my wishlist now. ❤ thank you so much
very nice and simple thanks
This is a new concept for me, thanks for sharing!
I'm not sure how I missed this one, but great video Adrian!

Greetings from Russia and thank you very much Adrian!
It’s time for me to upgrade my shooting boards. You’ve inspired me. I love your attention to detail.
Thank you very much!
Thank you, Adrian! Every video you make inspires me to try and make something even though my skill is not great! 👍😸😸
Thank you very much!
SUPER! No talking, no rubbish, only precise work and nice background music.
Thank you so much 😀
So clean and functional. Nicely done!
Thank you! Cheers!
This comes at the right moment, I need to rebuild my shooting board! Many Thanks! 🖖
Such a pleasure to watch! Great work!
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video, you've been missed.
Thank you!
Great! A simple method. Thanks for sharing
great craftsmanship!! Thanks for the work and video.
Thanks for watching!

awesome boards!
What keeps the blade of planer from scratching the part of the shooting board that the plane is riding on?
I would like to understand it too.
Précision de dingue ... bravo
Love your vids man. Relaxing and highly instructive without wasting a breath. Keep it going 👏
Super satisfying
Glad you enjoyed, thank you!
I love that you put those minis to work
They are very useful despite their tininess :)
On the cheaper planes you have to check whether the sides are square to the soles, too.
Everything you make looks good enough to eat!
Amazing work, Adrian! Nicely done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks! You too!
That was beautiful to watch
Hi Adrian, I bought your shooting board! It’s awesome, I still can’t make it work! Any tips ? Seems like I am pushing really hard and not smooth at all
Maybe the blade is not enough sharpened or dull? Or too thick shavings?
Very nice. I’d love to purchase a shooting board for case miters since I don’t have a table saw and don’t feel confident I could get the angles perfect as a beginner, but no one seems to sell them. Great video!
Thanks! I have them on my store too

Thank you!
I like your shooting boards!
It's funny that you used 21st century tools to make a -30 st century tool?
Muy útil y bien hecho te felicito compañero
Gracias!
Inspiring like all your content. What countersink bit were you using? Single flute is interesting. I have the Veritas zero flutes out there that work.
Thanks! It is a Wolfcraft, it comes in a set, 6, 12 and 16 mm
Exacting & excellent work! Well done! 👍👍🔨🔨
Thank you very much!
Very good
Great video. Can I use any plane with a shooting board?
Thanks! Yes, in general any plane works but better feel with heavier ones
Perfect that you posted this just as i'm planning to build 2 shooting boards! I think this will be the design I'll go for.
How do you feel about the birch ply for durability? I have some hardwood i was thinking of using for the base of the 90 and the 'slope' of the 45 where the side of the plane would run. Is this worthwhile?
Thanks! My old shooting boards were also birch ply and lasted over 6 years, the ply stayed ok, flat, just the usueal abuse, cuts etc. The ild 45 rail was wooden and noticed small changes in flatness that s why I used here 2x plys glued together
How is it that the plane isn't constantly wearing down the plywood in the base? Thank you
Cause the blade isn't as wide as the plane :-)
It's more of a difficult when you shoot the 45° angle, I might be wrong but Adrian is paying attention to keep the front of the plane on the fence.
There is a strip on the side of the plane that the ‘wear in’ area never touches. The sides of the plane mouth and a little more because the plane blade has a little gap on each side of the mouth.
@@FearsomeWarrior Thank you so much.

Thanks! The western plane is more efficient on the shooting board, one is heavy, two no wear at all because is made of steel, on the shooting board will be abused a lot planing end grain
Is it possible to use different planes on one shooting board or do you have to stick to the one you used initially? Thanks.
Any plane expect the rabbet planes that have the blade all of the body’s width.
What stops the plane blade cutting into the plywood? I understand the main weight of the plane is on it's side... but surely the plywood gets caught?
The blade does not extend to the outer edge

Hello Adrian. I wasn't expecting a reply so soon so many thanks for a prompt reply. Thank you for the explanation. A fine craftsperson.
what sharpening angles do you use for the bevel up and for a bevel down plane blades? The same?
Excelent!!!
Available for purchase ready made shooting boards on my store www.adrianpreda.com/shop
,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you……
Thanks for watching!
@@AdrianPreda Thank you very mutch... have a nice Weekend.... see you….
Is your hand plane a veritas low angle smooth plane?
Yes, the 2” blade one, smoothing plane
can someone explain how you dont continually shave away your guide?
You can see at 5:22 it will stop shaving once it shave the amount the blade protrude out, it will slide in that little side at the end
Super 👌👍🖐️
Thank you 👍
Whoa Whoa Whoa..... was that a Table Saw? LOL
I'm kinda new to plains, it seems the blade reaches the base board, why doesn't it cut it too?
Plane blades aren't quite as wide as the sole of a plane. The throat (opening where the blade pokes out) doesn't go all the way to each side of the plane. There's a thin strip of metal (maybe 1/8" to 3/16") each side of the opening. If you have a planr to hand, have a look.

Sligjtly unrelated question: does the solar kiln work?
Is still working but not for me :) I moved my shop elsewhere one, and second most important the hustle getting the tree trunks, milling them, transport, some needed paperwork was not worth it. My father in law uses it for some some fire wood, diy wood or for vegetables seedling. Anyway it was a good experiment building it and learning about wood drying.
Total newb here...how does the blade of the plane not shave down the surface that the plane travels on?
If you watch at 5:22 the plane will stop to bite once it shaved the amount the blade was set out. Then it will rest on that side, that distance between the blade and end if the sole.
Adrian, what plane are you using? 4 1/2? 5? veritas? other?
Veritas Low Angle Smoothing plane
yes!!!!!!
❤
how come no more videos?
Molto bene 🤌🏼
Grazie! 👌
I must make the 45° jig. Sure beats using a donkey ear!
😍
I don't get how the plane is not cutting the jig itself...
The edge of the mouth to the outside of the plane. The blade does not extend to the outer edge.
перфекционист!
Man, i love you! Nu mai ai nevoie de psiholog, vi aici si te vindeci. Daca ai nevoie de psihanaliza ii dai cu repeat! Sa fie bine, sa nu fie rau! :)
Mersi :)

Thanks! We need power tools to make good hand tools🙂
Yeah, he's the reason I bought all the miniature tools. 🤦 lol. They work great though.
