Sloping Shooting Board

My shooting board gives me good 90 and 45 degree cuts. Now for a donkey's ear.

I thought that this was easier than making a Donkeys ear. This is the second version, as the first was criticised as not being as smooth as the ramped board I had made.

Good stuff Mike - lots of interesting ideas there

I'm due a rebuild.....so its all grist to the mill !

My latest Sloping Shooting board for use at home with the 5 1/2 plane. The extra mass of the plane plus the quality of the Smoothcut blade, backed with a QS chipbreaker make life easier.I have waxed the plasic runway. One pic, the close-up shows the vertical plastic strip, against which te plane sole seats against.

New handle for the No. 5 1/2. Needs a couple of coats of polish. 4 Magnets help stick it to the plane.

Hi Mike,
thanks for posting these pictures as I'm half way through making one of these 45degree sloping shooting boards from a sketch in a book and needed the extra information from seeing a real one in action.
Cheers
