What are you concerned about with that technique? On the L brackets I stacked them up to give it some thickness so it wouldn't skew or twist as I pushed it though. With the T brackets I used the fence pretty much just as a stop block and was using the Miter Bar to push the plywood through. Not ideal, but I haven't built my crosscut sled yet.
@@hiddenhillsskillz I’d be concerned about kickback and having my fingers thrown into the saw blade. I can see using a block of wood as a reference from the fence prior to the crosscutting, but not during. Ask an experienced woodworker that you trust if it’s a good idea.
if you are referencing 7:15 yes technically most would tell you to use the miter gauge/a sled, or just use your chop saw. though personally I think those cuts were fine, you can get away with crosscutting on the table saw like that since the board still has a decent bearing on the fence, as opposed to doing the same cut on much thinner stock. I would express more concern for your move with crosscut 3 @7:19 where your left hand was trying to control the small off cut close to the blade at the end of the cut, just control the work piece at the fence side when the off cut is that small. The cuts on the L's were fine, stuff like that just always looks worse than it is. But most importantly: never let internet saftey sally's get you down, keep up the great work! edit: for completeness: making the T's with fence+Miter gauge was fine since those were stopped cuts,
Ingenious. Looks great. A bed that folds from the wall would be a great space saver too
Great build! I'm in the process of building a power rack and came across your channel in the research process.
great build! really wanting to see more of those features you teased for part 2
Thanks! Video will be coming out next week!
Cool video. I’ve subscribed!
Great to have you here man! New video coming out today!
Should you be crosscutting using the table saw fence? Doesn’t seem like a good idea.

Thanks for raising your concern, I'll look into it
