How to Make the Perfect Shooting Board – Simple & Accurate Woodworking Jig

In this video, I build what I believe is the perfect shooting board — no unnecessary extras, just a simple and accurate design that every woodworker should have in their workshop.

Made from birch plywood, this essential hand tool jig is designed to help you get perfect, square ends every time. Whether you're a beginner or experienced woodworker, a shooting board like this will instantly improve your joinery and accuracy.

🪚 What I cover:

Materials and layout for a simple shooting board

How to ensure square and accurate results

Why you don’t need complex features for precision

This is a great weekend project that pays off every time you pick up a hand plane.

🔨 Built with simplicity and performance in mind — no fuss, just function.
