    Great info Derek and the new web site is great. I built my first shooting board based on your previous feedback for the kids at school and it works a treat!

    My old woodworking teacher taught us to chamfer both corners. The far end to minimise tearout as you point out but also the close end. He said this reduced the sudden impact of the blade on the end grain.
