MAKING THE SHOOTING BOARD

Mark the 90° and 45° lines only onto the flat face of the 4"-wide fence platform using a combination square and pencil according to the drawing.

Transfer those layout lines onto the long edges of the fence platform using a square.

Use a marking gauge to indicate the V4" depth of the recesses on the long edges of the fence platform.

With the recesses marked, use the knife and combination square to cut the 90° and the 45° lines only. (Don't mark the tapered lines. They will be marked directly from the tapered stops to ensure an accurate fit).

On the 90° and 45° knife cut, first chisel a slight angled recess in preparation for guiding the hand saw cuts.

Use a small backsaw to cut down the walls of your recesses to the gauge lines.

Make deeper cuts in toward the wall of your recesses, down to just shy of the Place each tapered stop in against the wall of your recess and use a knife to V4"-depth lines. score the angled line of each stop on the fence platform.
