Matt - when I use shooting board I either get a clunk that stops immediately. Or I take nothing off - I’ve sharpened chisel. I just can’t find that happy medium. Do you have any advice. Literally never got a single shaving! Definite sloth!
Quick question - a rebate plane isn’t on your list ……. Not sure that fancy buying one of these as wouldn’t use that often….. what else would you recommend?…… using a palm router?….. if so, what bit would you recommend? Many thanks!….. just waiting for the kit to arrive!
Plywood base will be hidden with felt later in the project. A solid walnut lid allows me to create a lid that is flush with the sides with the use of the rebate. You could veneer a plywood panel for the lid. But by doing so, the lid becomes recessed and a potential dust trap. It's just a design choice though :)
Excellent and informative. Thank you Matt
Super! Thank you!
Stay safe Matt and Rob.
Love the new series!
Hopefully you have some time off to enjoy Christmas with family
Thanks for all your time and effort making these very entertaining videos.
Why don't you use something to protect that expensive bench? Lol!

Your links don’t seem to work. You’re missing sales.
I'm wondering why you put veneer over the walnut top. Why not veneer the plywood and use the walnut for the base?
