I built a modular shooting board out of scraps I had laying around.

It works well but I had some problems with the side of my plane not being at 90 degrees, so I have to adjust to that or adjust the plane?

Any suggestions on the best way to get it right?

If the cheeks and the sole of your plane aren't square, use the lateral adjust lever to tilt the blade so that it is square to the cheek.
