Mitre Jack

[Austin Branson]

Greetings, oh sage ones.
I’ve been interested in making a mitre jack for a while, and while‘surfing’ for information, I have seen several mentions of a plan in ‘the Cornish Workshop’. Unfortunately that site seems to have closed down, and indeed the domain name appears to be up for sale.
Can anyone suggest where I might find this plan?
Many thanks.
Austin

Try searching with the US spelling, 'miter', as that might find extra information.

I had to look up what a "Mitre Jack" was, every day is a learning day, even at 75.

That was an interesting rabbit hole, never come across one before now

George Ellis has this shown in his book Modern Practical Joinery, Though don't be deceived by the title , as this was published in 1902. In this he calls it a Screw Mitre Shoot.
Charles Hayward has it listed as a Mitre Shooting Block in a much later publication.
