Clamp the plane to the board, clamp the square to the plane, clamp the stop to the square...I'm asking all relatives and friends from now on to just give me clamps for Christmas, Father's Day, and birthday for the rest of my life.

@captbuscemi 9 месяцев назад

Christmas 🎄 clamping, yes! Clamp the Christmas tree to the floor, clamp grandma to the chair, clamp the kids to the beanbags in front of the TV, clamp your beer to the turkey etc etc

I'm going to build one this week. It looks so awesome! Rob, would you consider sharing some of your biggest mistakes when you first started? Whether in business or woodworking, it would be truly helpful to beginners like myself. That is if you didn't come out of the womb as a master, haha.

@brandsthatcreatelitter1648 Год назад

My shooting board is one of the tools that utterly elevated the quality of my woodworking. Before the shooting board, I couldn’t shoot the end of moulding planes, it has changed soooo much in sooo many areas. Surprised they don’t sell them, I guess because you need to bother to learn how to use and sharpen your planes.😆😆😆😆🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️♥️♥️♥️

Putting Tape to make the ark. The reason you gave did not make much sense to me, but it definitely will make plane cut better by letting blade slide a little up and down. Great video. I always learn a few tips here and there from each of your video. You are a great teacher. Thanks.

Thanks for ALL the content. It's been a huge help as I've started to take my woodworking more seriously. I have two different sized shooting boards and a bench hook based on your plans. However, I'm struggling with getting my case mitres to close perfectly off my tablesaw even with a mitre sled and a digital gauge. Do you have any thoughts or plans for a case mitre shooting board for small to mid-sized parts (ie. for decorative boxes)?

@hankshaw2225 Год назад

I see I'm two years late on answering what may help you fit small box miter pieces that fit prefect. I cannot not use my power miter saw for these small cuts, first it's dangerous or it splinters thin trim cuts. I cut close to my miter cut mark with a bandsaw and finish the miter using my tabletop disc sander using the sliding miter gauge.

@kamleo1685 3 года назад

Merry Christmas, Rob. You said that you would explain why you set back the fence on the shooting board. I must have missed that part of the video. My guess is that it is to ensure the plane does not rotate and cut into the back edge of the fence, blowing it out.

@RobCosmanWoodworking 3 года назад

When I put the fence at the end of th eboard (I use to do that) I notice that my students would push the plane off the board caausing th eplne to dive off the end and mess up th ecut so I moved the fence back so that your plane stays on th eramps even after the cut

@stevebosun7410 3 года назад

Hi Rob, a check with a square on the shot piece would have verified the squareness of the fence.

@samiches2008 3 года назад

Am I the only one who developed an eye-tick from that one shaving sticking out of the throat of the block plane until 32:25 when he cleaned it off? I let out a nice little sigh when he removed it. :) I was surprised Rob left it in there because he usually clears out the shavings after each pass. Also, whenever possible, I will use a dado or rabbet on a jig that requires an accurate 90° angle. I do this because my table-saw sled is dialed in to within 0.001" accuracy over 12". Even though I use machinist's squares for most everything I do, I don't think I trust my square or my setup using the square as much as I trust my sled. Over the years, I'm sure my squares have been dropped a few times.

@RobCosmanWoodworking 3 года назад

Most folks use way more glue than is neccessary!

@robertbamford8266 3 года назад

Great ideas and techniques. Concave or convex front to back (cleat to fence) would make the board more difficult to use (and wouldn’t look good), but I don’t see how it would affect the cut. The blade is still perpendicular to the top surface. Side to side would throw off the angle of the cut. Were you just talking about convex being more stable to use? Thanks fir the video!

@RobCosmanWoodworking 3 года назад

If the ramp the plane is on hetd slightly convex( a belly or dip) then what will happen is that the front and back of the plane will be touching however the middle of the plane will not be touching since it’s convex . So as you push from the middle of the plane as the plane is sideways you will force the middle of the plane down into this convex belly just throwing it out of Square. Inducing a very slight hump in the shooting board prevent this from happening

@ZunarZulfiqar 2 года назад

What plane brand was that? They looked very high quality.

@Clark42EoC 10 месяцев назад

Don't you worry about the clamping pressure ruining your square or plane? Maybe its just cause I have an older model but just getting the plane heated up from repeated planing and then hitting a knot hard literally bent the sole and body. I have a newer stanley low angle jack plane and a lie nielsen number 5 (damn covid...they had nothing larger for jointing at the time) but I've avoided using them because I haven't felt skilled enough to warrant possibly damaging the tool. I believe I actually asked you about wood river number 7's and number 8's at that time but again covid stopped that from being possible. The old plane that bent was a craftsman 5 1/2 jack plane. I couldn't tell you how old it is exactly...the patina is somwhere between 30 and 50 year's I'd guess...
