Handy man's workshop and laboratory . Fig. 15—A joint that canbe tightened v Q Fig. 16—The bench hook fines, in Fig. 16, and round the ends. The saw cut should bevertical and at right angles to the cross piece. When one sideof the hook is worn, it can be turned over, and the other sidebe used.—3 A COMBINATION PLANING AND SHOOTING BOARD It is sometimes necessary to put a long straight or bevel edgeupon a board; and while this can be done by the aid of the trysquare or bevel square, the board being held in the vise, the 14 HANDY MAN S WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY accuracy of the work depends largely upon the skill of themechanic, and requires much practice. For the amateur, andeven the professional, a board such as illustrated in Fig. ly isdesirable. All that is necessary for planing square edges only is a boardabout 9 inches wide, secured to one underneath, 15 inches inwidth, each ]4 of an inch thick, and as long as the bench. The. Fig. 17—Combination planing and shooting board boards must be planed perfectly true, the working edge in par-ticular, and a stop of some kind should be furnished at one end. Sometimes it is necessary to plane a long miter edge on aboard, in which case an ordinary shooting board, such asdescribed, will not do. One arrangement of shooting board for long miter joints isshown in the cross-sectional view A, in which a is a length of3 by 4-inch timber, to which is secured a board b, at an angle of45 degrees, by means of triangular blocks c, spaced about 2 feetapart, commencing near the ends. One end of the shooting board HANDY MAN S WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY 15 \ is held in the vise d, the other end resting upon pegs in the apronof the bench. The board e, whose edge is to be planed, is clampedto the board b, and the plane / shot along the 3 by 4-inch piece a. At B is shown another scheme, where two 9-inch boards, gand h, are secured together by means of screws, driven in fromthe underside o
