How to build it

A shooting board guides a plane on its side to true the end of a part dead square. How it works and how to set it is in the post A shooting board: square ends with a hand plane. This page has the sizes.

Cut the parts from the cut list.
Fix the platform onto the base, flush with its back edge. That leaves a lower runway 90 mm wide at the front, where the plane runs.
Glue the hook batten under the base along its front edge. It hooks over the front of the bench and keeps the board from sliding.
Screw the stop across the left end of the platform. Use one screw first as a pivot and a second through an oversized hole. Set it with a square, tighten it, and check it with the flip test from the post.

The print sheets are drawn at the scale shown beside each link. Print at 100%, without fitting to the page, and measure the 100 mm scale bar with a rule before you lay the drawing on wood.
