The tiny kerf made by the knife helps to guide the saw as you start the cut. Besides even if the kerf is slightly off you can use a shooting board to hone in on the angle later. In this case these cuts came out about dead on accurate for the level of precision I normally need. I could see needing to shoot the 45s if I was making a frame in order to ensure all 4 corners meet cleanly but for most of my work this is precise enough.

Yes I actually typed mitre but spellcheck fixed it in it's infinite wisdom. What can I say it's ethnocentric software.

In all fairness to the original designer, the two ramped shooting board idea wasn't mine, though I honestly can't remember where I first saw it. To be honest though, while the theory of it's use makes perfect sense, I hardly use the second ramp. I probably wouldn't make it with two ramps had I to do it again. Love that Philly miter plane (or should I say mitre plane; it is English after all). Nice job Shannon!

This may sound insane, but I'm just starting to work with hand tools and I was wondering... how do you ensure that the kerfs you cut in the miter hook are exactly 90 / 45 and perfectly straight? Nice hooks!
