Get Perfect Miters With a Shop-Made Shooting Board

By: Phil Huber
This must-have jig allows you to take whisker-thin shavings off the end of a workpiece to fine-tune the fit of a joint.

The reason a shooting board is a must-have for the shop is it allows you to take a paper-thin shaving off the end of a workpiece with a hand plane — something that’s just about impossible to do with a tool like a table saw or miter saw. The best part is you can make this simple shop-made version with some MDF and off-the-shelf hardware.

Plus, you can make an optional sanding “plane” that slides along the base to fit a joint or simply sand a surface smooth.
