Rex and James in one video - two of the best. Well done gentlemen!
thanks man!
I like to see great minds collaborating. Better than anything on TV these days.
Yes, please more collaborations. Honestly James, you have more than just bells and whistles, it looks like an entire pipe organ.
Two of my favorite wood workers. What a win win. Now I gotta make a new shooting board.
Awsome, a rex and woodbywright collab. Hope to see more in the future.
I do too, they seem to go well together.
I'm really happy to see this collab between my 2 favorite hand-tool You Tubers!
Always good when you and Rex get together on a project, slightly different points of view and costs.
I love the use of hand tools throughout the build, I have power tools but I do enjoy old school tools and use them a lot. Thanks for the video very informative.
Nice to see you guys working together! Two of my favorite woodworking resources! Thx
How abought building your own shooting plane? Infill or all wood - oh my! Great videos and something for everyone.
now that would be fun. I made a wooden low angle plane but a low angled infill would be amazing!
You guys are my go tos for both woodwork and entertainment, so glad you did the collab! Thanks!
Great project! Nice to see you and Rex putting your heads together, especially since there was no hair to get in the way 😁
I'm tired of people pretending Rex and James are different people
Lol how did you know!
You two work well together.
You should do this kind of thing more often :)
we were going to do a few in his shop this spring but something is stopping me from going out there.
Great "colaboration" same project, different directions. Both have their pros and cons. Thanks for showing two options and linking to each other's to give everyone the other option in an easier manor.
You two are a great match for collaborations. Make your time more interactive between you.
You guys should play up more on antagonizing each other. You have a pretty good comedy rivalry dynamic
Beautiful work, James! Pretty fantastic shooting board! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
@18:54 "...Illl probably never use it... and I can show it off ..." 🤣best reason for a build ever 😀
When I’m ready for it, I’ll build Rex’s. Don’t know if I’ll ever get to the level where James’ will meet my needs.
You two make my day everytime I watch a video and now I get you both in the same video: well shut my mouth. What the hell does that mean anyway?
Had been months since I started planning on making a donkey's ear but still looking for reliable ways to attach it to my shooting board. Perhaps this brass rod idea will be my choice, thanks! Do more collabs! At least this pandemic has brought in more interests in woodworking.
That is one fancy shooting board. A+
thanks man. and congrats on first!
Thank You Gents!!! Great Work!!!! 👍😎
Well, got my track, and glued up some 3/4 plywood, which was "cabinet grade', but not apple ply. Checking the plane with a square after, the plane tipped one way on one end of the track, and the other way on the other end of the track. Went and got some melamine shelving material, and did it again. This time it was better. If I was going to use 3/4 plywood again, I would run it through the drum sander. I did take a shoulder/rabbet plane to remove the layer of melamine, and glue a piece of Ipe to it for my fence. I will have to add screws to the 3/4 pieces of melamine I glued together..
i really enjoy the colab with rex btw. colabs are always fun and you both have very similar hairstyles
We really need to do a sponsorship for hair club for men.
Very Cool James, You and Rex make a good pair.
You guys are the Reese's Peanut Butter cup of woodworking channels. Two of my faves.
Great fun video. Loved the collaboration stuff. Please can I have some more? More Boy!
There will probably be more in the future
I love the collaboration with Rex. I also greatly appreciate that you know they are called Robertson screws. Great build James
I like the collaboration. I enjoy videos from both of you.
I just found my first attempt at making a shooting board. I thought I would be fancy so I glued a sheet of oak to a sheet of MDF. It demonstrates the different rates of expansion due to humidity. Maybe I should try again.
Got to love that yearly potato chip. I have a few like that too.
Like your and Rex's channel!!! Looking forward to see you both together!!
As a Canadian 🇨🇦, I can't understand why anyone would use any screw but Robertson
Unfortunately down here they are incredibly hard to come by. Although generally I prefer torques over Robertson. Those tend to be a good bit more common.
As a European, working in the woodbusiness, I can honestly say that I have never seen a Robertsen screw in real life. Why are they so good? Asking out of interest.
haha, never thought two of my favorite wood working gurus will collaborate.
Great instructions and build! I’m tremendously disappointed in myself because he said at the beginning the veritas shooting track was made for the veritas shooting plane and low angle Jack, but it didn’t occur to me that it absolutely would not work with a general vintage Stanley. Expensive woopsiedoodle on my part. Thought I’d post in case it might warn some folks. Trying to decide if I should hacksaw off the back edge to make it work.
I loved the dueling shoot-out (or whatever we're calling it today). I really like the ultra flexible option even though mine is just pretty simple plywood 90 and another one for 45. The one thing I learned was a "right" way to build these (not that there's one right way) is to ramp the bed for the plane so that the plane drops or rises as you complete your trim. On narrow trims it's not a big deal but on wider cuts it evens out the wear on the plane iron a bit. Very nice work, though... I hadn't seen the Veritas angle fixture and the aluminum bed. I think my board needs an upgrade. Thanks for the video.
Love the collaboration
thank you James . now what do we do tomarrow pinky . yes . i did expect to see bells and a whistle lol and thank you Rex
Great timing i am just abut to put my kit together
James, have you tried an engineers countersink bit. Here in the UK, I've seen them called a snail-bit (after the curls they can make) or a deburring bit so I'm not sure what they are in the US. I only have two but I've used them for years and they are fantastic, no chatter with really smooth countersinks bores - would never use a conventional countersink again.
The collaboration with Rex was great, hope you get to do more.
Yes. I have one of those too when they're sharp they are wonderful.
Honestly, I can't understand why everybody doesn't use our Canadian Robertson screws... still a mystery for me.
By the way... I LOVE the ring trick on the drill bit to maintain a level hole!
After initially scoffing at the idea of a shooting board... I saw the bells and whistles on this puppy and decided I GOTTA have one of my own!
If it were up to me. Torx would be on all screws. Looking forward to seeing what you make.
Welp, this is exactly what I needed today. Not sure why, its a pretty slow news week...
Hey James. I like the collaboration with Rex - it makes the topic more interactive which answer most of our questions. We learn so much from the both of you.
A question I have is: which hand plane is most appropriate for use on a shooting board? I have a crappy no.5 and it's right side (I'm right handed) isn't square to it's sole - can i use a no.7 instead? It might be a silly question but I ask so that I can make the shooting board accordingly.
Thanks.
Looking forward to more collaborations.
The side does not need to be square tot eh sole. the iron needs to be square tot he side. that can be changed with the lateral adjustor. I prefer a #5 over a #7 but everyone is different. give it a try and see if you like it.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo okay yeah I remember Paul Sellers also said that the iron needs to be square to the side rather than the sole.
Thanks again. Respect from South Africa.
Me here after having trouble with a 7 sided box 😮. I made it but 7 sides means any mistake is x 14. If I want to make another couple of them, I need a better angle..
James, could you show how you would use this shooting board to make miters. I'm wondering how it would work with the fence at a 45. Nice colab, Rex is a nice guy with very cool videos, much like you!
Then make sure it off and alive sometime. But it will show up in videos from time to time. I don't have any miter projects on the list right now but who knows.
Hi James. Really enjoyed these two videos, thank you. The only problem with yours (and I only noticed this when I saw it at the end of Rex’s video) is that when you use the adjustable mitre, the corner of the fence appears to intrude into the path of the plane.
That's why there are slots in the back support. You can easily loosen the thumb screws and slide it so that it will adjust to any angle you set it to.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo yup. I can see that now!! Thank you
Thanks.
Cool surprise!
Collabs are wonderful. Shoutout to my Whispering friend. He's going through a rough patch.
Honestly i prefer the old oak shooting board you did(the one at your side)
Im going to make my one as that, but maybe to make it more stable to the time and the weather a kind of home made CLT
Shooting boats shoot out.
Stay safe! And I'll use Rex's second fence and add it to mine. And possibly the donkey's ear. Thanks guys! Stay safe and healthy!
Shooting boats...? Did feel a bit like gunboat diplomacy between Rex and James, albeit with metaphorical custard pies as ammunition! 😉
Brilliant video.
James I like your watch is it a smart watch and what app is on the face please
This is a Garmin 5x. It's designed for ultra runners. It's just running the standard OS on the face.
Fine Wood Working Tim Rosseau’s shooting board is super effective and simple, worth checking out.
it looks like you have a very short "run up" to the fence.ive always make a deeper shooting board so i can get the momentum of a heavy plane going. is there a reason for the short bed or am i just looking at it wrong
My original thought was 16 in was enough as my current shooting board is about 16 in. The kit from Veritas comes in either 16 in or 24. If I had it to do over again I'd do 24 in.
Pretty fancy target.
very similar to the one i told you about that im making. its been half done for a month..... the miter is a good idea thati didnt do though
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
red oak!!!?!!?!?!?!?!!? SINNER!
Forgive me for I have sinned!
Très bien, l'idée est bonne
Merci
Hi James,
Thanks for this video. I like the adjustability (no matter what Rex says!). Just one question Where did you get the aluminium track with adjustable steel bar? I've seen it in a few other shooting board videos but none give the link to where to purchase them. Could you oblige?
Thanks in advnace,
Paul
That is from Veritas.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Thanks. I now have it, along with the Veritas protractor shown here and will be making this shooting board soon. Thanks again for all your (and your wife's) work in support of woodworkers.
How did I mis that, you have a plane in the broken plane holder, super nice looking.
Lol still have not fixed the holder. It is just screwed in. I am too lazy. Lol
@@WoodByWrightHowTo I can see that it is still broken, but I looks way better with a plane in it.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo I am not shure you can call a man lazy, if he puts in the time and effort of sawing up big peaces of lumber by hand.
great video - question though, how do you think it will work with a Lie Nielsen low angle jack plane? will I have to change the dimensions of the plan?
it will work fine, but you will have to change the fence like I did. some people just make a small scrap of wood that fits in there to fill the gap.
Where did you get that cute little depth gauge
That is a favor that is offered at "the Best In The West" tool event every other year in the Pacific North West.
Where did you get parts for metal channel for shooting plane?
Here you go. www.veritastools.com/Products/Page.aspx?p=679
You could make a shooting plane out of wood and metal.
Hi Wright. Do you have a video of sharpening your crosscut carcass veritas saw?
Not that specific one, but I have several videos showing sharpening other crosscut saws.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo I would really appreciate you making a video of that particular saw. There are technical aspects That are pretty confusing. For example the 75° angle and the included angle of 60° as referred to in the literature that comes with the saw. I wanted to restore my saw back to factory settings
Hey James. Great video. I actually got hold of your plans via Rex's site (sorry! ;) ) and look forward to one day making both versions. I hate to be pedantic though but under the diagram of the base you say 'Just a triangle of 3/4" thick plywood' TRIangle? :D
LOL got to love the Wood By Wright flubs!
James, do you still offer plans for this?
Yes. They are on the site. They have been updated a bit
6:26 Veritas wants us to glue hardware into the wood, so we can’t replace the board? No, thanks.
P.S. Thanks for showing us the whole build process - I never would have noticed. I looked at some “tests” on blogs, but they seem to be afraid of criticising the mighty Lee Valley. Gluing in the hinge bit might not be a dealbreaker for everyone, but I would expect a proper review to mention it at least.
ya that is something I would love to see them fix. Thankfully they will sell just that fitting, but it would be another thing to buy if you want to change it out.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo It could be a part that is secured from the bottom of the board somehow - even if that means you have to create a recess on the underside.
But can you shoot a compound miter with it?
No. But I've got another one to do that.
Nifty!
Which brand plywood is best?
Brand doesn't matter.
You mean you don't go down to seconds? I'm surprised I was sure you see that small with out a protracted time
Where did you get those parts?
They are a lot done Veritas.
I googled the name and came up with the definition of the word and a data management company. I had to try a couple different related searches before finding a place I can buy them. Did you get the parts from Lee Valley?
Sorry voice to text messed that one up. Yes. Lee Valley owns Veritas. It is the only place you can get them.

Just need to add Simon Whistler and you get the brotherhood of the bald

Easy on that last saw stroke.Please.MUCH DAMAGE.sorry for that,but it made me kringe Good vid’s. Thanks
Please don't have that other guy on your videos.
you don't like Rex? why is that?
@@WoodByWrightHowTo I’m sorry no. Maybe I’m wrong but the perception I get is that he’s more interested in being a “content creator” than providing useful woodworking advice.
I understand. Everyone's got different tastes. He's a good friend of mine. His focus is more on the new woodworker and cheap woodworking with a bit of a hybrid focus. Which is a very different focus than what I have.
