ank you for your excellent video and description. I made one over the weekend and it works like a charm.

Hi there,
is there not an issue with the plane blade cutting into the edge of the runway side?
about to build one of these but cant get my head around that bit
-
do you end of cutting into the shooting board with the planer?
Do you have advice your using a shooting board to taper a strip of wood?
-
the ramp insures that you are using the most of your planeblade - not just one part of the planeblade. If you use a MDF sheet (or any other flat surface), then you would use the same point on the planeblade every time.... Hope you can see it :-)

Hi there, i currently use a regular shooting (without a ramp) can you tell me what purpose the ramp serves?
Thanks, Paul

@nickjohnwarner The plane rides on the stock being joined - the edge of the platform is not a stop - it just holds the work.
