So I built my first shooting board this weekend. Everything square and perfect. I sharpened up my low angle iron and tried out the bevel up jack plane from Veritas. I got some nice shavings, as you can see off to the side in the picture.
But then when I checked my end, it wasn't square.
So I went back and re-checked my board and the fence was no longer square to the glide. I swear it was before. I'm thinking I must have knocked it out of square when I was trimming the fence, with the plane, to be flush with glide. I thought this was what I was supposed to do, but maybe I left too much overhang to trim.
So, now I have to re-square the fence. It's held in with three screws from below, #10 - 2" screws. I didn't think it would move on me. So I'm thinking I need a better way of securing it.
Should I run bolt all the way through, counterbored on bottom for the head and wingnut on top of the fence? I figure there should be enough play to align square after the fact, and any other time its needed.
Is there a better way?
