Brent, I have the Veritas SB plane, and like it a lot. Playing around in my
mind I wondered whether a Stanley 5.5 with a wooden wedge (full length of
plane) bolted to the side might work well. The additional benefit is one
might then place the plane into a track, just like a metal shooting plane. A
track will also work with your version of course.


Cheers

I probably misunderstood Paul's question

but it occurred to me that you could make a skewed plane for shooting board
use quite quickly from an old wooden smoother that was otherwise a beater,
so I made a sketchup model.

Now, because of the spaces you will almost certainly not be able to use
that, so try this one
