The response you're referencing is one reason I really don't come here any more. I got tired of some of the BS. From some of the other posts on this thread, I can see that my time is yet again limited here and I shall remain in different pastures.
Anyway. . .for Rick. . .
On the bottom of the fence for your shooting board, take some Loctite or contact cement and put a thin layer on the bottom of the fence, then put some 80 or 120 grit sandpaper on the bottom of the fence, making sure you have no bubbles and stuff. Trim to fit so there's nothing overhanging the edge of your fence.
I had to do this for my hickory shooting board as the surface on plane-finished hickory is almost glassy. I use a 1/4 bolt with a hand-twist knob to tighten mine down.
