Long (Grain) Shooting Board Build and Use

- Working edges on some kinds of boards can be problematic, so I made this long shooting board to help me with the process. This video shows the build process and how it worked upon completion.

Nice build and thank you for linking to my video. These long side/long grain shooting boards are very useful but still not very common, for some reason.
Your video helped convince me that I wasn't crazy for wanting to build one! The references I see to this type of shooting board all seem to be relatively old; they seem to have fallen out of favor after WWII.
Thank you for this, I was having similar frustrations as you and started to look around to see if these things existed. Great video, and nice plane:)
Based on what I've read, I have a feeling that, in the past, there were a fair number of things of this nature in shops, with a lot of variation based on the needs of the particular worker. Some variants show the board without anything to hold the work in place--if the pieces you work with are sufficiently short in length and easy enough to get a grip on, you can just hold it in place by hand as you plane.
Nice, that should speed up accuracy.
Stepping up your game with these animations!
Ah, the illusion that I actually have any idea what I'm doing...

Nice jig
I have a commercially made tapering jig for a tablesaur (a gift IIRC) and I have not and never will use it for it's intended purpose. Maybe I can use it as a long-grain shooting board!
You might be able to put a piece of that UHMW stuff underneath the jig for the plane to slide on (with possibly another thin strip along the edge where the plane bed slides). If you can come up with a way to make it easily detachable, it could possibly still be used as a tapering jig. (FWIW, I have found my [separate] tapering jig to be fairly useful on the bandsaw; it was still quite new when I made this video.)
Hey You, and Hey to Carmonius, i'm new in woodworking by hand and kind of helpless here in Germany because there are not to many working by hand. I like to ask for the plans of both, it will help me a lot. Br Andi
I didn't work off any plans for this project. I just built it according to how wide an area my plane needed to slide on, the clearance for the little distance between the side of the plane and the cutter, and the typical lengths and widths of boards that I normally work with. I could dig up some measurements if you like, but otherwise, I'd encourage you to examine the plane that you want to use. A lot of those details will probably depend on that. Some of those Emmerich planes that are popular in Germany ought to work well for something like this, as long as the sides are perpendicular to the sole--I don't have one, so I don't know for sure.
