Has anyone built a shooting board that has a straightedge for the plane sole to ride against? Seems like this could take away some of the annoyance of shooting panels, having the cuts either be convex or concave. Though I suppose it could erode the plane sole after enough use... |

Yes common among cabinet makers and usually used for trimming endgrain. Have a look on YouTube for shooting boards. Bob |

i used to use a straight edge. it started to wear a groove into the cast iron sole of my plane. i stopped using it though because no matter how hard i tried, there was always a bit of ramping out on the woods edges that the straight edge didn't give me wiggle room to deal with. a bit constraining imo. |

Google David Charlesworth, I believe he has pdf plans for a shooting board. Maybe on the Lie Nielsen site Brian |

Arie, I would have that that having a straightedge would make ramping out impossible, in fact that would be the point... I got a pretty badass shooting boards, as for chops to use it...sometimes yes, sometimes no. Spruce is easy, flamed walnut, not so much... |

Spruce is easy, flamed walnut, not so much... true, but there's always some compression of the wood when you enter the cut, and a bit of rebound when you exit. |

You might check the design by Tico Vogt- http://www.vogttoolworks.com/ it would have to be lengthened for guitar work, but the idea is great according to the reviews, and may solve the problem. |
