I got a little emotional watching this video - I’ve just sat through four different shooting board videos that all require table saws. If I had a table saw or a jointer, I wouldn’t need a shooting board!! Thank you for remembering those of us who only have hand tools!

Before you cut off a bolt to shorten it, thread a nut onto it first. After you cut and file the end of the bolt, screw the nut off. It will clean up any damage to the threads, and it's much easier than trying to put one on after it's been cut. ;-)

This dude is the Alton Brown of woodworking. Can't get enough!

Whenever you cut off a threaded rod, you should keep a nut on it. When you finish cutting, you can take off the nut, and it will un foul the thread, if it's messed.

James' sound quality and lack of echo, combined with his soft, warm voice is like honey in my ears.
I think I will watch a little bit more on his channel... But first let me lock that door.

Its hard to find channels out there that are not actively or passively pushing to buy myriads of tools. It can be overwhelming for a complete neophyte like me.

I really appreciate your dedication to teach a way to do woodworking with hand tools. With all your videos on how to set up different tool I came to appreciate the ammount of work it takes to set up shop. Sure, we can just throw money at expensive power tools or industrial machinery but it doesnt make us good woodworker.

I know have a solid foundation to set up my little shop. Slowly, step by step.

Huge thanks!

Glad you explained that the plane blade only cuts a bit into the shooting board and then stops, that had me confused until now. Thank you !

I’ve seen plenty of shooting board videos that immediately require a table saw that’s perfectly square and level. Realistically a person that needs a shooting board probably does not have the ability to true up edges with machinery. This video is very good that offers tips that I have not seen elsewhere such as using melamine and chamfering the bottom for dust channels. Thank you so much.

Remember Rex has made a shooting board suitable for a right-handed worker. You can make yours for a leftie if need be.

James wright popping in at first was awesome. I laughed out loud at this one. Loved it guys.

I love the way you answered comments you knew were going to be made as part of the video.
And the interaction between you and Wood by Wright is fun to watch.
Well Done!

I saw a tip when shortening a bolt. You put a nut on the bolt, cut the bolt, then take the nut off. As you take the nut off, it dresses the cut end back to true.

Now I've never done it, so I don't know how well it works...and it probably doesn't fix the burr. But, it's been in my head as something to try.

Tip: if you don't have, or can't be bothered with, epoxy, clear silicone is a great adhesive. It will stick anything to anything, it's simple to use, and not messy. It works the best with flat, smooth, surfaces. The flatter, and smoother, the stronger the bond. It would be perfect for bonding melamine to plywood, and would also work to adhere the hardware to the underside of your shooting board. It is a flexible bond, so it never becomes brittle and fail, and allows the material that you're gluing to expand and contract. And, it's often possible to take the joint apart at some later time. (the flatter, and smoother, your two pieces are, the less likely they will come apart - like gluing glass to glass - good luck getting that apart)

I would seal the edge of the melamine, otherwise it could swell up if any water or moisture gets into it. Great projects James and Rex!

Thank you! This is not the first shooting board video I see, but I still learned something.

Oh my god, all the humorous side-eye and shade at James. That's hilarious.

At 16:56, with the "any idiot" joke, I actually half-expected the punchline to immediately be followed by a reprise of the "Rex Figures It Out" intro animation/tune. (Or maybe just enough of it so the audience knows what you're doing and then cut it short, but that might just be all the This Old Tony I've seen talking, ) That you broke and laughed at the joke yourself instead was also pretty good, though.
