Best Shoot Board?
Don Thompson - Cutler Ridge, Florida
>What with the interesting posts about custom conversions to make dedicated shoot board planes, the subject of the associated board comes to mind. I know that there have been a lot of posts on this subject, but is there anything new out there? What is the Best, shop-made shooting board design? (not counting cast metal ones)

>Don,
Galoot Mike Lindgren made a cool wooden board shown at the link below. There is also the often cited ramped shooting board by Jeff Gorman. A few years ago galoot Rob Kempinski was casting boards. I've been meaning to make a pattern as cast more as Rob lost interest in the project.

>Please note that in boards where the plane runs in a "fully captive" mode (i.e. a track) the user does need need to generate the "LEFT" force I mentioned in my handle-angle post.

Hmmm....Maybe another advantage of a flat top bedrock style ten-and-a-quarter? (After my last fiasco, I think I'll stay away from the superscripts and subscripts for a while.)
But then someone will probably start calling for reviews of QC issues of the distance between the top and the sole, and whether they are parallel. Aaarrrgh!

Here is a link to an earlier thread. It contains pics of a ramped shooting board, the basic design of which I was inspired by the HNT Gordon version. My contribution was to add a bolt-on mitre fence. All-in-all, it works extremely well and I can recommend the design to others.

No need, Sir William, ISO 8859-1 (the internet's commonest character set) has a fully blown quarter symbol, ready to go at position 188, which can be entered as ¼.
It looks like this: ¼

>Thanks, Paul. Now, all I have to do is figure out where I put all the fancy ISO characters on my keyboard. Strangely, this character does not seem to be supported on MacOS. Using it still doesn't help with things like 7/8 and 37/64, that some of us old Yanks just won't give up. :^)
If I had a 7/8 character, I could print out a 6 7/8 tag* to stick in the band of my WoodCentral hat. :^J
*not really my hat size, its a literary allusion.

>Sir William, you don't have to use the alt xxx for most of the characters. Here s a table of entities that you can use. if you use the entity, it won't matter what os or keyboard you have. It is strictly html.
