Johnny, many thanks for the video. I bought your plans and the video was very helpful as a supplement. I got my sled running and am impressed with how easy it is to cut the half laps.
Johnny, Great project and video. I remember while living in Japan, my mom bought a Kumikstyle screen. I have always liked the design and wanted to duplicate it. Now I have a tool that can help me. I will definitely be downloading the plans for this sled. Thank you for sharing.
@@JTWoodworks watch a lot on jig vids and this one made me smile: those little stop locks and keys give you accuracy AND repeatability. This old Scotsman liked that bit 👍
Thanks for the vid, I'm working on one right now. Trying to make the 'second layer' as attachments rather then the whole think being a dedicated kumico jig. (no way to post pics here, huh?) P.S. I don't know if anyone else mentioned it in other comments, but moving the T track on the rail was unnecessary. That Powertech stop is reversable from inboard to outboard position.
Cool sled. I like the idea of using an aluminum strip as a key. I made a basic sled so that I can explore Kumiko, but it has a more temporary quality to it. If I continue down this rabbit hole, I can definitely see the value in a sled like yours. Nice work man!
Very cool. Remember you can cut aluminum with about any sae. That long piece would have been easy on the band saw or more desirable, the table saw. A dremel takes forever.
@@JTWoodworks probably should have worded that differently. Was more meant for the people new to this all who find your excellent videos. You really do a great job explaining, filming, editing.
G'day Johnny. I appreciate your video a lot. Two questions. Having the aluminium guide adjustable from both ends seems to allow you to put it on an angle - when would you need that? Why did you make your aluminium guide bar so long when it seems you only needed the support near your fences?
That’s a lot of adjustability room for the registration keys. Do you ever find yourself using the full length for massive grid spacing or some other use? I’m wondering if there’s any reason I couldn’t just shorten the whole right side of the sled to cut down on weight/size. I don’t want to miss out on unforeseen functionality.
Jeez, excellent narration, music, and project. I look forward to the second half of this presentation. I only wish UA-cam videographers would begin their videos with an explanation of their project, sort of a walk around, which would make the steps of construction more comprehensible.
Hello, really nice video! at 4:32, I noticed a strip of plywood between the saw kerf and the cut-out section of plywood. It looks like that's there to support both sides of the wood while being cut. how wide did you make that?
Hey glad you enjoyed the video. That's exactly why that's there. I believe it's half an inch wide if I remember correctly. All the measurements are outlined in the plans
Hello. I noticed on your website it say that you have v2 of this sled coming soon? I signed up for the newsletter, but I guess I missed this issue. Could you send me a link?
Hey Johnny, I'm going with zeroplay mitrebars instead of full length plastic guides. since theyre much shorter, where do you recommend placing them, front, back, center?Thanks man, love the sled!J
If you can cover the areas where most of the cutting takes place, that would likely be best. Center and towards the operating side. That way it supports the sled best when it's most under stress
Try using the plastic use for cutting boards next time for runners. No expansion and supper slippery. You usually can get scraps from plastic fabricating companies.
have you ever made and sold this sled to clients? I am interested in making kumiko but I don't have the means or brain power to wrap my head around all of this.
Because of the necessary precision of the jig and the wide variety of dimensions of different table saws, it would be difficult to build the sled without the table saw it's meant for. I offer plans for sell on my website for this sled if you change your mind and decide to build it. There are also much more simple sleds that you can build to accomplish the same results. You can find videos of those here on UA-cam. I hope that helps
Hello my friend . I just saw your channel and I like it. I will follow your work from here onwards. You're a real master. I'il learn a lot from you. You can follow my motivations. I'm interested in wood. You can see my work if you want. See you again.
@@JTWoodworks Thanks for your ansver. Is there any way to buy the drawing at a discount and try to redesign it to the metric system? (I'm not working with a computer, but still using paper-pencil) Thanks for your ansver. Henrik
I really like this jig. What blade are you using in your table saw when you are cutting the half laps in the grid? I have been thinking about getting a full 1/8" kerf FTG. What have you found works best? Thanks
I use an alternate top bevel 1/8" blade and it works nicely. I'm mostly cutting soft woods so the small bit of material left by the alternate top bevel blade gets squished and doesn't effect the joint at all. It may have an effect on hardwoods but I haven't tested it yet
@@JTWoodworks Thanks for answering my question. I've had a hard time finding anyone who talked much about the type of blade their using in their table saw and how it relates to fitting the pieces. Keep up the great work.
Close but not the correct 5 cut method... also you might be able to cut the al on the tablesaw, as long as it is secured. I cur al on my chop saw frequently.
Thank you watching. If you want to build this sled, there are digital plans are linked in the first line of the description!
I'm wondering if you're going to be the new Norm Avery of woodworking!
I wouldn't mind it 🤷♂️
Rather than stiffening flat bar stock with plywood, may I suggest using angle bar stock and cutting clearances at both ends?
I can see that working just as well. Definitely an option
Would you sell this sled instead of the 2 currently at your online shop?
Johnny, many thanks for the video. I bought your plans and the video was very helpful as a supplement. I got my sled running and am impressed with how easy it is to cut the half laps.
I'm glad to hear you found it useful. Have fun making kumiko!!
This is definitely the coolest sled I've ever seen - so much thought and functionality clearly went into it's design. Great video, Johnny!
Thanks bud! There were a ton of iterations that I went through to come up with this design.
I can only imagine - definitely seems to have paid off!
@@EthanCarterDesigns for sure! I'll be using this a lot in upcoming projects
It's not often you hear a table saw sled call beautiful, but it truly is! It is a beautiful work of precision!
Thanks so much! I'm glad enjoyed it
Fantastic sled!!! I'm so making one!
Thanks Erik! I have plans if you're interested bit.ly/Kumiko-Table-Saw-Sled-Plans
That's one hell of a sled. Don't think I will make one, but I enjoyed watching you build one. Good job
Thank! Glad you like it
Nicest set of plans ive ever purchased. Now to build it.
Thanks Ken! Good luck and have fun with it
My friend bows to your talent. Long years to you and your loved ones! Thanks for the experience! Very important and interesting!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and you learned something
Very, very, very cool!!! Excited for the next video Bud. Dirty Jersey out!!
Thanks man!! 👊
Very detailed insruction. Nice job!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Complimenti ottima idea 😊

Aww I'm so glad to hear that and I'm happy to help out if you have any questions along your process
just purchased your multi angle sled. Hope its just simple as attaching them to my runners and Kumiko I go
Πολυ καλη δουλεια ΙΩΑΝΝΗ BRAVO

Very good project. Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed it
Very beautiful video thanks brother
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good job
Greetings from Greece. I like it!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
sandwich the aluminum between two scrap pieces of wood and run it thru the table saw, nice clean cut.
Sounds like a good idea. I'll have to try it next time
πολυ καλο βιντεο ...και εκπαιδευτικο!!!!
Very very nice!!! Thank you for the video, it is a good instruction how to build kumiko jig!
I'm glad you enjoyed it
Nice
muy bien felicitaciones.

You can definitely shorten the right side. I don't think I ever went past the half way point on the 60/30 adjustable key.
Great job! Love that.
Thanks so much!!
Awesome!
Good video! Thx!
Thank you Jarek!

@@JTWoodworks hm. I was planning on buying some Baltic Birch soon. Thanks for the update. I hope to see it soon.
Just to be clear, the V2 will be available as a complete sled or flat packed/assembly required. I won't have plans for that version
@@JTWoodworks interesting. Will you make a video on the subject? Looking fwd to it anyway.
I will make a video on how to assemble it and adjust it for the table saw
Very nice 👏

Hello Johnny!
I would like to ask you that Kumiko-Table-Saw-Sled Plan have you got in metric. In Hungary inch is not good.
Thanks: Henrik
Hey Henrik. It's currently not available but I'll work on it. It may take a while as I'm not use to working in metric

@@ryanhorschman8060 I'm happy to help
at 3:26......what material are the runners made of ?
Got it......PVC !
Yes its PVC window screen trim
The 3 - 4 - 5 method will give you a much quicker 90 degree.
That would work if you have the tools to measure accurately. The five cut methods measures square to .001" and less
why you have to have two runners
You can get away with using one but I prefer two so I'm not putting so much stress on one which can case it to move or break
Diff Must be divided by 4
What do you mean?
👍
Close but not the correct 5 cut method... also you might be able to cut the al on the tablesaw, as long as it is secured. I cur al on my chop saw frequently.
What's wrong with how I explained the five cut method?
My life changed when I fastened a knee operated switch to turn off my tablesaw. You're welcome.
👍👍👍. ✌️😎
