I remember your jointer issues, and seems like you were not having any luck with a plane and shooting board for joining tops and backs Around income tax time every year I like to add something to the shop/pile  this year it was a Fender Precision Bass and this Veritas PVM11 shoot board plane. It still take some finessing but wow the skewed PVM11 cuts like butta and after an hour this afternoon I have a handle on it. Thats a set of Honduran Rosewood pretty hard but it makes nice shavings.

I've been eyeing one up, however, I no longer bother with he plane and just put sandpaper on the bed of my 1200$ jointer and yes the fence. Lol. Good results every time... That looks like a very nice shooting board too! |

I've had my eye on one of those. If it works as good as it looks like it should then I'll probably get one. I like to joint my backs and tops with a plane. And, yeah, I can do it with my Record #4 but that PVM11 looks like it would be fun to use. |

Well try it before you buy it I can bring it to a meeting sometime. I can shorten up the shooting board quite a bit too. |

I haven't a fraction of the experience you guys have, but I abandoned the tablesaw/jointer/level/etc techinques looking for the easy way out. This was a purchase that I will never regret as it works so effortlessly. Attachment: LNplane.jpg

I really looked hard at the Lie Nielsen but the Veritas PVM11 blade was the tie breaker, that stuff just keeps on cutting. Let's see a couple pics of your shooting board. |

I haven't even made the proper shooting board (yet). All I did was elevate the pieces and made a positive stop. I was having success "freehand" and didn't think much about the board. Included with the plane are nice plans for a shooting board. |

I know there are a lot of thoughts on this. I use my jet jointer to get it close. Then glue sandpaper to the table. Run along fence and it's a great joint. |

Another version, sloped to use more width of the plane blade (spreads the wear 'n' tear on the cutting edge) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npd0wnpjKa8 |

So I tried one, but the blade never seemed to be completely Square so I gave up. Maybe I did something wrong......... probably something in the wedges. I would try another one if I could figure it out because I use my shooting board so often. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk |

Requires a different technique then shooting with a bench plane. It's actually easier. It's on my upgrade list now
