   Mike,

   Which shooting board(s) do you prefer? Is it the one used here in episode 8, or the 2 you built in your Go-To Work Holding Jigs YouTube video?

   Great series. Thanks for the info!

   The screwdriver you used to adjust Handplanes seemed perfect for the task; could you reply with the source for the screwdriver?

   Also, when tuning the card scraper, you used a two-sided diamond plate; could you provide the grit specifications for the two sides?

   Loved the series - well done!

   I’m about to build a shooting board and I really like the one in this video with the additional 45 degree options. Is there a p[lan available -- or just wing it based on that I see? Also, I never quite get what keeps the plane from taking shavings off the jig itself. Is it the rabbet in the base board and once you make a couple passes on the freshly built shooting board it reaches the sole of the plane and goes no further? If that’s the case, then you wouldn’t want to use a shoulder plane or instance because it would continue to take shavings from the shooting board and the work piece. Do I have that right?
