Guys, I am excited as finally I had my questions on shooting boards answered in that video.
Perhaps this video also can add something for you more experienced ones, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5BgSiar3Ws&feature=youtu.be

I would like to know your feedback and critics also. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for posting, Osvaldo, enjoyed the video as well.
I have and use each of the shooting boards he demonstrates except the one he compares more to a miter jack concept, like this one:
415495
I won’t argue that when doing miters it is ideal to work the plane and shooting board from opposite ends (keeping reference faces and edges oriented correctly), however, I have found that a thin shim (a playing card, for example), can make up for any minor miter issues that might occur. Obviously, you do need to work from opposite sides for molding, which I can do with a standard plane versus my shooting plane. Or, I use a miter trimmer to make final cuts for molding.
