Also, it is lightweight and easy to move around, can be stored easily, and is adjustable to accomadate different planes.
You may want to check out mikebender.com. Under training aids Mike has plans for a swing plane board, for $12.95. I have used it at his academy and it is ajustable to allow use of different clubs. I built one using his plans a few years ago for about $125. It weathered (spending 9 months of the year totally exposed to the elements) well for a couple of years, but I finally had to retire it. It is mobile, but being made of would, it is heavy.
Either way it is almost a necessity to have a swing plane board. Personally, I cannot think of a way to give student a clearer image of the swing plane. Hopefully you will find something useful from this post.

Sligo33,
Thank you Sir for the detailed answer. I agree, I HAVE to have a plane board. I will check out Mike's website as well. I appreciate the help!
