Somebody already guessed what I thought it was for. (flag Display Case). The longer I do this, the more convinced I am that jigs are everything in woodworking. Nice build. Can't wait to see the follow up.
+Terry Cairns It's amazing how many jigs I could use, if I had the time to build them. That's one of the things I like about Izzy Swan, his jigs are amazing.
I searched and I found just what I need to cut pieces to make some of those gorgeous miter art pieces. Thank you for such an excellent how-to vid! #newbiewoodworker
Waiting to see the new project. I enjoyed the pirate chest and some of the others. I hope some viewers are picking up more of what a Shopsmith can do. Nice to see the newest model. I am envious. My 510 model is great and after 20 years still working like a champ. What happened to the stool project ? or did I miss the leg set. Hals Wood Shop
Hal Kester Thanks! I'm going to show off the Shopsmith on ***** on Saturday, 6:30pm MST, if you want to watch and give ideas on how you've used yours over the years.About the stool, I recorded the video and then got swamped in my schoolwork. It's in editing limbo, I was thinking about releasing it in a couple months as a "vintage" or "classic". I've got about a dozen projects in editing limbo right now... :)
Hello robbert my name is steve. I am in the process of returning home from my second tour to afghanistan in two years. I just found your channel and i see that you are using a shopsmith powerpro. I am going to be converting my one car garage into a woodshop when i get home and i have a shopsmith mV sitting there waiting for my return. I would love the opportunity talk with you about what i have planned and any pointers you might have in setting up a shop around the shopsmith system.
winterset bee Hi Steve, welcome home and thanks for your service! My time in the Gulf was...less than enjoyable, but those days are long behind me now. Are you staying in, or getting out?I'm planning on doing a shop video in a month or so, after I get a little more crap cleared out and a couple more projects finished. I've got a two-car garage, but all the junk took it down to a one-car garage. I'd definitely recommend setting up a french cleat wall to hang up as much as you can. They're easy to rearrange, and if done right will be a thousand times better than pegboard. As for arranging around the Shopsmith, it's almost easier to move the Shopsmith around and just use the space as efficiently as you can.I'd be more than happy to chat, hit me up on Facebook sometime (facebook.com/manhattanwoodproject). If you're interested, I'm going to show off the Shopsmith on *****?pageId=100992486550895009515 on Saturday, @watch?v=Logi3B5PY-c&t=6m30spm MST. You can chime in with ideas and questions there as well.
WELCOME home Steve! I hope you are able to have some care-free relaxing-time in your shop. THANK YOU for your service to our awesome Country! I will give you this important pointer Steve... If you are about to perform an operation on one of your power-tools and your gut-feeling says it does NOT feel right...take heed Steve and find a safe or alternate way of doing that operation / step; blades / bits are spinning so fast; 1/10 sec. is irreversible-damage! ENJOY being home and spending time with your wife and children Steve, if you are fortunate to have them.
Awesome video! Question - I need to make some small, perfect trigness. 4" on each side. I'm trying to create a table saw jig in order to do this. Can you give me some pointers, or perhaps you have a video or a blog post you've seen with instructions? It'd be such an incredible help - THANK YOU!!
Hi Lauren, thanks! If you make a jig similar to this one, you can cut your pieces a little long and then make a mark or use a stop block to position the sides so they are cut exactly 4" long. It may take a little experimentation to get the mark or block positioned, so make sure you have some extra material you can use to get your setup dialed in.
I did before cutting the pieces at the end, as well as the bottom of the sled itself. Good point though, I should have mentioned it in the video. Maybe in Part 2...

Ah. I see now. Star of David jig! Very nice.

How about making bevel cuts along each triangle side of 20 degrees keeping the table saw blade at 90 degrees
What is the angle of the jig?

Hope you are doing well, the ss is a great machine.
at 1:55 what degree angle or you cutting? Don't see that anywhere?
I wish I could have seen dimensions on what you did so I could build
Awesome video!

The "key" parts are 1:50 and 1:58. didn't really explain how the cuts were made however :) great video though!
Thanks!
Great job
+Stacey Werkmeister Thank you!
Nicely done. Wax those runners and they shouldn't bind as much.
I did before cutting the pieces at the end, as well as the bottom of the sled itself. Good point though, I should have mentioned it in the video. Maybe in Part 2...
Makes a pretty nice equilateral triangle but can't make an isosceles to save its life.
CrackyMcZap How can you consider an isosceles triangle to be perfect? :)Good point, but that would take a different set of jigs.
Too cool!
Great job.
Thanks!!
that's what I would call a "60 degree cliffhanger"...
That pushing your body forward with the piece of work looks dangerous.
Because you use a Shopsmith, I'll watch your vids even if you were showing how to make clay pots. lol
Hmmm, clay pots. Now I'm wondering if the speed will go low enough to make a turning table or whatever it's called... :)
Making a flag display ?
Brian Lasch No, but nice guess!
You should buy a chopsaw.
This is worse than an incomplete t.v. series lol ...teaser lol
Haha, thanks! :)
