Thank you. I have been trying to find a design that I like. I’m still working on it but like yours I routed with a v groove bit. It got too cold before I finished building it but I have been pondering about getting that top rest dialed in. I really like the way you did it. I looking forward to getting some warmer weather so I can get back onto it
I've watched several videos of similar shooting boards and none of them go through the process of dialing in the accuracy. They all rely on their equipment as being totally accurate. Thanks for going through the setup process to ensure accuracy.
You're welcome. No equpiment is totally accurate. I always build my jigs like this with machine screws rather than glue, to allow for final calibration and adjustments. Takes slightly longer time but worth it in the end.
I feel like this is a little overkill for my boxes I’m making, but it seems to be the most accurate and predictable when making adjustments. How is it holding up for you? Do I need to have the UHMW strip? And my router table isn’t great so if I can’t follow step 1 using the outside edge to square the fence, I could just trial and error getting it square based on how square the longest edge is to the cut edge with a square, right? Thanks! I’ll be buying the super jig plans in the next few weeks.
It's holding up very well and very useful for box making. Uhmw is not necessary but you need something that doesn't wear very easily otherwise you mess up the angles slightly as the material wears. Your router table doesn't need to be perfect in any way to make the v-groove parallell with the outer edge, you will need a router table for the Superjig build anyway:-). I understand what you mean with trial and error and it should work, measure against the sharp outer edge of your planed piece in that case.
@@CarmoniusFinsnickeri thanks for getting back to me. To get the uhmw to 45°, did you just hand plane it to as close as you could measure, then set it close to where it would need to be relative to the v-groove, then adjust from there as described in the video to get the plane riding right on 45? How long would you say it takes to build the super jig? I'm very excited about that one 😁
@@rickhickman2730 the wooden surface where the uhmw is attached is cut to approx 45 degrees on the table saw, so are the front and rear fences. Those gave me a rough position for the top bar and then I adjusted front to back as described in the video. Time to build the Superjig is depending on a lot of things, I could build one in maybe 8-10 hours but I already built 2. Maybe 20(+) hours if you are semi experienced. But it's a fun build and you might learn a few tricks here and there
@@CarmoniusFinsnickeri alright wonderful. I guess I'm really just needing to build it once, so it's a good investment 😁 do you have plans for the shooting board? The fences are held in place well enough by the threaded inserts and bolts? Sorry for all the questions. I've had a terrible time with jigs for miters, and not much luck with buying plans previously. Either under described or inaccurate. I really like the designs you've put forward
@@rickhickman2730 Thanks. No plans for this shooting board, sorry. No problems with threaded inserts and bolts, use that concept on almost all my jigs. Hopefully you will be able to put it together, any more questions just ask.
Thanks, glad you liked it. All my squares are "metalworking" squares, din 875/1 or 2 specified. Often cheaper and better specified than squares you find on woodworking sites. I bought mine in the link below (much cheaper when I bought them, think they changed brand) but if you search for din875 square you should be able to find them in many shops. 875/2 is good enough for woodworking, max 0.12mm angle deviation on 1m. shop.otdtools.se/category/vinklar

Thanks! -10 at the moment where I live but my shop is heated🙂. Good luck with/when finishing your shooting board, it's a great tool for beveled edges.

"and that is 2 hands more than I have" - that comment alone should earn you a like!! But it is a very good video also - thank you!
Haha, thanks!
Hög ambitionsnivå, informativt och inspirativt! Tack för att du delar med dig - en fantastiskt fin stötlåda. Antonio/Thailand
Absolutely great video. Outstanding work. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks!
Very inspiring. Thank you. Will do my best to copy your design.
Go ahead, it's not very difficult.
Brilliant thanks for the video. Very useful and accurate and hopefully I'll be able to use this in my box making 👍👍👍
This will be of great use for boxes with mitered/beveled corners. Glad you liked the video.
Fantastiskt!
Awesome

Excellent video. Appreciate you posting. What’s the source of your large squares?

Thanks mate. Appreciate the reply
Very clever, well done
