@@WoodByWrightHowTo did you get my comment on your shop for video about the unlicensed wood wright shop videos, I think it's was in your description where I commented
I made simpler version without the Veritas miter (I really like that and may need to make a new one). In front of the oak fence, I added a sacrificial pine fence with slotted holes in the oak and thumb screws. With this, I can easily replace the pine fence when it wears out. I can also advance it using the thumb screws to present a new end grain surface when the old one gets too much tear out and I can slip business cards between the oak fence and the pine one to make sure that the front of the pine fence is truly square to the track edge.
There is a guy on UA-cam that is obsessed with BLO+ pastewax finishes, white oak, hand tools and his lovely wife and kids. You should talk to him about your experience with the finish.
Hey James! Seems to me a couple of dowels would make your support strip more secure when you stow it. Thanks for sharing (twice!). BTW... where'd you get those depth stops? They look really sweet - and no scratchy wood!
Great video James. I have the Veritas fence and plan to build my 2nd shooting board soon. The threaded insert that gets epoxied in, I didn't see a measurement for how far it should be from the edge in the LV instructions, do you have that information? When I asked about getting a spare threaded insert LV offered to sell it for $1.75.
Great build. I am way too cheap to buy veritas stuff, so I will try to build an adjustable fence myself, as easily as possible. Have ever considered building one without a kit? How would you solve a moveable fence?
@@WoodByWrightHowTo I have one fixed for 90 and one fixed for 45. I was just toying with the idea of making stuff with unusual angles. Easiest way to solve the fence that came to my mind was raise the shooting board by about an inch (two sticks at each end acting as legs) then capture the fence on one side with bolt that goes into the board via threaded insert. Then secure the other side with a clamp that has enough clearance thanks to the raised board. I hope the clamp will hold.
Show that in the last one. I decided not to add it to this one right now is it's something I only use once every few years. When I need it for that project I'll attach the donkey ear onto this one.
And now for something completely different... B.L.O. and paste wax 😂😂 Is it possible to make a shooting board (with this Veritas Shooting Board Fence) for left handed people? (On my workbench I would use it on the left side of my bench, so the track for the shooting plane would be on the other side of the board. Is it possible to mirror the Veritas thingy, or not?)
Do you think the track has to go much past the rail as you wouldn't put any inward pressure there Then you could have a longer track to shoot longer boards?
It's good for to go two or three inches past the fence. So you could make a longer one. But if you want longer you can always get another track and connect them together.
It all depends on how wide of boards you want to shoot. with it currently set up I wouldn't have much problem with doing 12-in wide boards a much wider than that would be difficult. though at that point I'd rather do it in the vise than on a shooting board.
Thanks for the feedback. I get comments both ways when I have a video without music and with music. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts it always helps me make better decisions in the future.

I can't find the plans...
Glad to see you used Rex’s idea, and gave him full credit. Good video, too.
Ya got me on the "we're gonna try something different with the finish" lol
Lol I thought a few people would like that one.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo did you get my comment on your shop for video about the unlicensed wood wright shop videos, I think it's was in your description where I commented
Or maybe it was your q&a video
Great to see you experimenting with a new finish 😁. Ultimate update to an ultimate project!

Fantastic work, James! Really well done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Ooohhh a brand new finish. Haha. Well done Mr. Wright
Shoot, when I watched this I'm not board...bored? Holeeee. Another fantastic video. Learned lots. Thanks James
Thank u write 😊😊😊😊

I will have to look him up!
Great tutorial! Came out awesome!
Wow the magnetic extension . I know what I'm doing today .👍

Dowels might be a fun addition. here is a video on the boring system I use. ua-cam.com/video/1IfgVb4UmQY/v-deo.html
Let us know how the linseed works so we can try it sometime ok?
😂

Hi James I asked about the brass grommet and they are getting back to me on availability and cost
Great build. I am way too cheap to buy veritas stuff, so I will try to build an adjustable fence myself, as easily as possible. Have ever considered building one without a kit? How would you solve a moveable fence?
In that case I would make one I could set at 90 or 45.

Lol!!! I just showed my wife, that i am not the only one that “chews the cud” as i am working. (Chewing on the tongue) 🤣🤣🤣
Yup. I should make up a t-shirt. "I chew my tongue when concentrating"
@@WoodByWrightHowTo I thought it was BLO flavored chewing gum. :P
@@WoodByWrightHowTo that would be a good one!!!
The beat of the best? Will this shooting board be the Top Gun of Shooting Boards?!?! 😳
I’d love to see some attachments for it! I need one for trueing up box sides
Show that in the last one. I decided not to add it to this one right now is it's something I only use once every few years. When I need it for that project I'll attach the donkey ear onto this one.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo awesome I’ll check out the other video !
What does the magnetic extension do?
it supports longer boards further out on the bench.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo ahhh ...
@@WoodByWrightHowTo ohhh. Smart.
And now for something completely different... B.L.O. and paste wax 😂😂
Is it possible to make a shooting board (with this Veritas Shooting Board Fence) for left handed people? (On my workbench I would use it on the left side of my bench, so the track for the shooting plane would be on the other side of the board. Is it possible to mirror the Veritas thingy, or not?)
Yes. The kit comes either left or right hand. You can flip the bracket around the other side.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Ah, nice, I couldn't see that in the info the dutch webstore had on it. Thanks!
Could you use this shooting board with a regular 5.5 plane?
Sure. You can adjust the stop on it to fit anything you want. I used to use my low angle jack but you can put any plane on it.
Do you think the track has to go much past the rail as you wouldn't put any inward pressure there Then you could have a longer track to shoot longer boards?
It's good for to go two or three inches past the fence. So you could make a longer one. But if you want longer you can always get another track and connect them together.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Thanks Just trying to optimize the length of track I have
It all depends on how wide of boards you want to shoot. with it currently set up I wouldn't have much problem with doing 12-in wide boards a much wider than that would be difficult. though at that point I'd rather do it in the vise than on a shooting board.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo i was thinking i might shoot smaller drawer parts as well as end grain
thank you James . so the cutoff with magnets is for detaching for long boards ???
Yes. Rex's video shows it in use. It's basically a bench hook attachment.
@@ricos1497 thank you
Bingo it supports long boards to you do not have to look for birds to hold it at the right hight.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo okay ill turn the birds out then thank you
Lol got a lot of speech to text
So how was your experience with BLO and paste wax? Would you use it again?😂😂
CDB
what is the the number for that Stanley shooting board plane?
(555) 555-1234
Although these days it prefers to use email:
Sbp@unnecessaryplanes.com
It is a 51. Here is a video on it. ua-cam.com/video/CUswU5TtToQ/v-deo.html
Different levels of wood by wright shooting boards:
Shooting board
Better Shooting board
Ultimate shooting board
Ultimate ultimate shooting board
2nd
So close!
@@WoodByWrightHowTo yet so far away.
First.
Woot Woot. congrats on first!
@@WoodByWrightHowTo thanks, love your videoes.
The completely unnecessary music track is extremely distracting.
