    I've watched a dozen or more videos on how to make a crosscut sled. Each one had one or two good ideas. This one has all of the best ideas in it, and a couple I hadn't seen yet. The extra t-tracks running parallel to the miter slots for clamping look really handy, and your obsession with making the front fence perfectly _straight_ as well as perfectly _square_ will mean better cuts every time for a long time. Thanks for making the extra effort to make this video.

    I just purchase a new table saw because the Ryobi one I had was basically a death trap! I had only used it a few times and I was starting to get the feeling it was going to send the blade flying at me at any moment. So I bought a DeWalt and turns out its the same one she uses. That makes me feel better knowing that I made the right choice. I am also going to make this sled for my table saw because it has the things I wanted. It has the 2 T-track rains inside to hold small pieces and a sturdy stop with a finder and measuring tape. I might end up using hardwood instead of the acrylic she used, as I have that already.

    I don’t know why I still watch table saw sled videos. I’ve seen about 50 of them, but I still watch. I’m always interested in the various mishmashes of other sled projects that people come up with. One day I will replace my sled that I built 17 years ago out of construction grade plywood, a 1x2 and 4x4, so I guess until that day comes I will continue to watch them.
    I thank you for letting people know who you got the various ideas from. I know William Ng doesn’t get nearly enough credit for the 5 cut method. Thanks for leaving in the kiddo interaction. That was a lot of fun seeing the struggles of actively momming while trying to make a video.

  • @JohnnieBravo1
    @JohnnieBravo1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    After building 3 sleds from plywood, and the front and back fences from 2X4 hardwoods, and having them eventually warp slightly throwing off the angles, I designed a new one. It is 3/4" MDF, and the fences are of 4" aluminum structural "U" beam. I also made it where I could adjust the front fence should the 5-cut method ever show it was creeping off at all (after 6 months, it is still spot on). I needed a very tight, and large (approx 12-14"), 45 degree protractor for accurate miters, and your video gave me that. Thank you!! I use my table saw to cut aluminum sheets/plates up to 1" thick (Diablo metal cutting blade, pulleys slowed way down), rough size up to 20" X 20" for making parts to be machined on my milling machine, so the accuracy HAS to be extreme. So making that 45 degree plate out of 3/4" lexan is my project this morning.

Heartfelt thanks, I must have watched 20 or so “how to” videos”, yours was the most straight forward to follow, saved me about £200 and more importantly works an absolute treat!! The whole thing (mitre included) works great and nice that you gave a shout out to the amazing Big Willie Ng. The 5 cut method works a treat too, so don’t be put off by the mathematical shenanigans.
    If you need a sled - make this one as it’s perfect.

I'm just starting to get into wood working myself with a 10in Hitachi c10rj table saw, a DeWalt dw705 miter saw and a amazon trim router. And mostly I just do stuff in my driveway on weekends under a huge live oak. It's nice to know I don't need a $100k worth of tools in a 800 SQ ft work shop to accomplish the same things.

    Excellent work! I particularly like how you're unafraid to try something new. My only gripe is where you flicked a small piece of wood away from the spinning blade @11:00 in the video. If that little piece spins as you poke it away, even a slow-moving blade can catch it and launch it into the air or into your pretty face. Be safe!

    You haven't changed ( lookwise ) at all after 4 yrs. Amazing ! After viewing this I subscribed and have watched every video since . I'm looking forward to seeing you in your new shop and looking a little further I won't have to see you freezing in the winter ! The world is a much better place with you in it !

      No doubt. Table saws (or any power tool) are unforgiving. Ask me how I know..... at least I still have all my fingers. They're just a little damaged.

      @Roderick_Legato 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @bernarddouthit4647
    @bernarddouthit4647 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Tamar - you are the best! This is such a great video. I know this video is almost 4 years old, but it reminds me of the SNL Hans & Franz skit - "listen to me now and believe me later" lol. I saw this video before I built my first crosscut sled, and like yours it gets the job done, but isn't exactly square and it doesn't have any miter bars in it so if I'm cutting something really small and flat I have to put my hand really close to the blade. I'm going to order all the parts today and get started. By the way Freud makes a great flat head blade that works great for Dado cuts. It's expensive - about $65 - but totally worth it.

  • @javelinexile

    great to see all your enthusiasm, makes my day. I made one of these today for the umpteenth time. You inspired me to put some toggle clamps on mine, so thank you. On the thumb protector block, I had a trick my dad sort of showed me. I had a big long story here I just deleted. basically, he left the wood very rough and painted it. this made it very uncomfortable to touch, like barbed wire, the raised grain would be like little thorns. If you did that on your little guard you would be conditioning yourself to never have your hands there, Not that you need it per se, just if your used to using a fence like that and visit a shop that doesn't have the little block on theirs then .. well it only takes a second. Also, your young ones are going to want to start woodworking themselves one day and lessons that don't have to be taught and are just muscle memory are best. I mostly do handwork but I've had so much repetitive and utility things to make I've brought all the machines out, seeing what people are doing to make the machines work for them is fun. Thanks

    I am the father of 3 daughters, all grown now, and all 3 of them are comfortable around power tools. My oldest just was given her father-in-law’s Milwaukee compound sliding miter saw when he moved into a condo because his two sons didn’t want it. She has redone all the trim work in their house. My middle daughter and her husband bought a fixer of a house and they did all the work themselves. My youngest helped me build a deck and a garden shed. She shingled the roof by herself.

  • @johnmutton799
    @johnmutton799 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice to watch. Has the table saw got T track in the top? If it has extend the t bars past the far end of the sled to stop it tilting when pulled right back of the saw. Can you fix auxiliary fence to your flip stop? Two self tapping screws can do the job. You can extend the reach of the flip stop then.Rout a quarter circle in your sled then using bigger cutter make this into a place for t nuts to slide in add a fence then for adjustable angles. Make a quarter circle table to ride on the surface of your sled. Stick self lubricating tape to the base for ease of movement. Use one bolt for pivot point and one to slide in t groove. Put some wax to ease movement in t slot under the sled. Enjoy!

    Another great build, Tamar. Many are the crosscut sleds I have made over the years, and I couldn't possibly fault a single step in your execution. And that accuracy check! Stands as an all time record among peers. Never thought of using that technique for creating a 45, thanks for showing it!
    That's not what makes you a hero to me, though. It's the way you have bootstrapped your way into the craft, and balanced, even incorporated, your family life into the making of these videos. Hoorah! I thing you deserve a SawStop.
