I'm about to make my first shooting board and have some questions.
First - What materials should i use, I've heard plywood works well.
Second - Some people place a small lip on the shooting surface so the plane doesn't touch the upper board. I'm assuming this is a really good idea, but was wondering how far that lip should stick out.
---- If that lip is not there, you would take small shavings off that edge all the time right?
Third - I've read that a low angle plane or specialized miter plane are best, but is mitering end grain doable with a sharp #4?
Thanks !!
