Cool sled, gotta stupid question, probably. Anyone ever tried using pop rivets in wood?
They don’t ship to Australia 😕
I just realized we are only about a half hour drive apart. I would love to collaborate with you sometime when the world gets back on track.
Boo more boat!
For the sacrificial fence part, the last place I worked had a clever solution for that. They used a T-slotted sacrificial fence (I don't know if they made it themselves or not), then in the backer fence, a couple T-bolts stick out to tighten it down by hand from behind. So as you need something to be zero clearance, you can slide the sacrificial fence into the blade path 1/8" at a time, tighten it down, and cut, very handy. Of course, this consumes the sacrificial fence little by little, but it's over the course of years, and is easily replaced. Hope I explained that properly, it's the best system I've seen.
Great stuff! Thanks for the shout out bud! Glad you like it!
I grabbed one of those stops over a year ago... it’s awesome (the apron is not bad either, JKM 😉)
@@Chev56 thanks brother!
I love mine. That have proven to be most useful.
I'm definitely buying one soon. I've been wanting that stop for at least a year now haha.
Im getting one of those woodworking aprons at Christmas time for sure!
Love this book! ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!
This is my favorite woodworking channel on the internet.
Your K.I.S.S. Method for the top layer with the T-track is perfect! I’ve been putting off making my sled but your cuts make it easier than running a dado slot to fit the T-track. Going with a 1/2” base though to save a little weight and a slight more blade height. Thanks for the video.
Yeah this design is smart. Good idea about the 1/2" base to save on weight and height 👍
So glad to read your reply. I’m working on one tomorrow (at least that’s the plan) and am using ½” birch too. I may use ¾ for the fence near my hands; front/back (there seems to be a debate).
One of the better subscription's if you like comedy skits and woodworking knowledge.
You and Jonathan Katz-Moses should do a video together! Also nice sled!
Agreed!
every time I watch one of your videos I immediately run away and spend money. Great ideas!
That was a solid Lord of the Rings hobbit theme on the tin whistle, Jason. Nice sled build as well ;)
Came here to say the same thing!
I wish my real life shop was like the youtube shop you have where its magical and you tell me what we are building and there is magically gorgeous stocks of wood stacked and ready to go. lol. I dream man.
I wish the “crap” laying around my shop were that nice lol
Loving that Great Wall of Woodpecker! I’m envious 😊
I love how after he is done using the cross cut sled he just made for the entire video he finally adds the safety block after he is all done.
That's the weirdest boat I've ever seen.
Don't put your hand there. Duh.
Thanks
Nice build overall. Use the extruded aluminum as the main back fence and secure from the bottom of the sled. Add sacrificial fences to the front using T-nuts in the channels and replace as necessary for thin/regular/dado kerfs. The stop extends out so it is still usable.
Notch out the extruded aluminum 1" and that removes the potential trigger on SawStop saws.
The LOTR music being played was a nice touch, huge props.
It'd be interesting to see how straight you think it is by doing the 5 cut test!!! ;)
That looks very heavy 👍👍
Awesome build and entertaining as always.
With mine, I bored out a hole in my workbench so I could drop in a piece of ~22mm dowel to act as an end stop. That way I can't push the blade through the back of the 'hand reminder' block if I have accidentally used it as a handle..
I love you man. You are saving me so much money. My wife and I are in the process of planning to remodel our kitchen, however, we went, and please don't get upset, to Home Depot to purchase butcher block counter tops, flooring, tile and cabinets. I was blown away by the high prices and low quality that they offer. I am a tradesman and know that I can build it all myself, however, I have never built cabinets or counter tops before. After watching your videos I inventoried my tools and found that I have all I need to make my cabinets, shaker style doors and butcher block counter tops already. All I have to purchase is a DADO and a hidden hinge jig. In the end we will have a custom high quality kitchen remodel that will look like we spent two to three times as much but the savings will be in the work that we will be doing ourselves. I appreciate you sharing your craft with the world and by the way, you are funny as all get out. Thanks again.
Absolutely loved this video! Going to recreate your sled this week.
Thus the first video of yours I have viewed - your instructions, camera work and banter are without equal!
Thank you
Listening to the tune you were playing, I feel better about my LOTR dorkness, I am glad that I am not the only one out there.
I'd recommend the 5 cut method for perfect squareness.
Why? If it's perfectly square the way he did it, why do the 5 cut method?
@@Steadfast_Faith 1) checking with a square is prone to error and relies on the accuracy (or not) of the square 2) putting shims behind the fence could cause the fence to bend causing innacuracy.
By far the coolest cross-cut sled I've seen yet. This is the one that I am going to build. Thanks for sharing. Great video.
Nice, looks great... but instead of stacking up additional plywood inside I would have sunk the T-tracks and the zero clearance part in the base plate with a router, so I would not lose too much sawblade hight.
But then he loses the dado adjustment capabilities he wanted, right?
@@scottburkhardt6859 hmmm .... don't think so ... why?
You don’t lose too much height. If you want to dado a t-track slot then you need 3/4” plywood. But with the 2-layer model you can use 1/2” plywood, for a total height of 1”. So this 2-layer sled is only 1/4” taller than a single layer 3/4” sled.
Great video. I’ll definitely keep this in mind for when I (eventually) get a table saw.
Would be curious how you handle crosscut sleds for a job site saw. That's all I have at the moment and I wish I had the outflow table/side table setup you have.
There isn't a need for an outflow table. I had a dewalt job site saw with a sled and used that for years.
I made something like the sled in the video for the 8.25 inch DeWalt DWE7485 table saw. It's a lot smaller, about 24" x 24", but so far it works great. Getting the width of the runners perfect and leaving a little space depth-wise, so the slots don't bottom out, is pretty important. Zero wobble.
Enjoy the show, put a big smile on my face thank you! Look forward to building my sled LOL that you have just built. Can’t wait to see the next project
I was so excited to see a new notification thinking “BOAT!!!!” But you know what? A table saw sled will do just fine. 😉
Best video for cross cut sled I've seen, will definitely be making one.
Terrific! I need to build a new sled and decided to browse for inspiration; knew I'd get just what I need with some Bourbon!
My only question is about using 3/4" vs 1/2" ply, curious what the community thinks of the tradeoff. Giving up 1.5" of cut depth on a 10" saw seems like a LOT. Any down-sides to going with 1/2" ply?
This is what was thinking. That finished product was super thick.
I'm so thankful I found this channel. It's a wonderful mix of comedy and information, and it always makes me smile.
Very helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Lots of good ideas here! Especially the swappable insert. I'd only want to drop some of the weight. I've had extra large sleds with big cut outs on the base and aluminum tube instead of the 1.5" ply wood ends.
more BOAT now!
Hey Jason that is the best cross-cut sled I've seen so far.
JKM is such a swell dude
I heard he's a mouth breather
Just purchased that Katz stop. Looks great !
when you use your dado set won't it cut a wide groove through your aluminum fence?
Bad Ass Dude! I think I need to make one just like that!
Great, I have tried twice to make one. I think this time I'll try yours, thank you for the easy going instructions.
That's the weirdest boat I've ever seen.
DUDE....I love your clamp wall.
I think I would have used 1/4 or 3/8 plywood on the bottom. The problem with using the 3/4 plywood, is you have reduced your depth of cutting ability. The front and rear faces would have held it straight and flat....as would have the thicker plywood added to the inside. That's my only constructive criticism to add.
Not to mention the 160# weight 😆
At least you found the T track the last place you looked!!!!!
I sure could use one of those.
NICE WORK.
Nice build. Curious how much depth of cut you have with having 1-1/2” thick crosscut sled? Just an FYI dado stack and that aluminum might not turn out well.
Your ode to The Shire flute music deserved an applause. Loving your videos. Small scale woodworker from the PNW and have learned a great deal from you. Keep them coming. Cheers!
This is officially now my favorite Woodworking channel...
I am assuming you wouldn't want to do the aluminum backer with a SawStop... BUT I bet for the SawStop users out there, we could always gap the fence an inch or so on either side of the blade with some wood
Also, do you find that by adding the secondary base with the T-Track that your blade doesn't reach as high? Or do you mostly just use the sled for cutting thinner material?
I was thinking that same thing, but I'm realizing instead of that extruded Al, we could just use a second piece of plywood with the t-track on top
@@TomHoppe It didn't do me any good. Bangx2 ($130)
The fact you played LOTRs music on the flute. You are no.1 on youtube!
Liked the video.... although a full sheet of ply isn’t “stuff” laying around lol
I have a full sheet of ply laying around the shop. I always buy more material than I need when building stuff.
@@matteout_woodworking yes. exception to everything.
@@matteout_woodworking really? 3/4 Birch plywood? What did you have that left over from?
@@tedcox3586 I'm a professional woodworker. I will use it on something so buying two or three extra pieces when I build cabinets isn't a big deal for me. The thing is that the time I spend going back to the plywood store cost more than buying a few extra.
The same with lumber. I have like 2000 board feet of lumber in my shop minimum. Ranging from oak to pine. If I get commissioned to do a job I have the lumber to do it. It's seasoned in my shop and ready to start production.
i have watched other wood workers and you do the best
That sled would take up half the depth of cut capacity on a 10" saw. Nice rig otherwise.
I was thinking the same thing. Love the design otherwise.
How do we fix that? I love the idea, but I need one a lot thinner. If you cut dados into the plywood for the T-track, then it will make the whole thing flimsy.
Maybe make one out of metal to keep it strong but thin?
Maybe add metal bracing to wood to strengthen it in places?
@@charlieodom9107 Ya, I noticed how thick it was too by the end. I think if you were to build it with ALL materials being half as thick... by the time everything was screwed and glued it would be plenty sturdy.
@@urwholefamilydied a 3/4" sled would give me 2.5" or so cut depth, which I believe is more than enough for my little saw.
I'm building a new tablesaw out of a cheap Ryobi plastic portable saw right now. The plastic one was too flimsy, but there was nothing wrong with the motor or mechanical bits. My top will be 3/4", with further stiffening under the area where T-Track will be placed.
I'm still working on mounting the motor to the front of the new cabinet, but I believe I'll have just over 3" of cut depth once finished.
maybe make the first layer out of 1/4" instead of 1/2" that would get you anothter 1/4" lol. or maybe the 2nd layer could be 3/8" then you got a total savings of 1/2"... that otta be enough thinness for anyone lol. jk :)
Why would someone gives a Thumbs "DOWN" for this video, it's a shame . Great work man, keep up the good work.
I know what I'll be making. Awesome addition to my tools. Thanks
You can not do that Im here for the BOAT triggered
I like your presentations. Simple and fun. Thanks
I have been binge watching your videos for two days now. Very informative info plus you are hilarious. You look almost identical to a buddy of mine!!!
Very nice project. So much better than the typical sled I have seen constructed in other videos. Especially like the removable dado section.
happy new year
this is gonna be so useful to make square cuts. Like the idea of the aluminum pieces to incorporate hold downs. Oh the joy :)
I wanted to make a new sled when I started watching this vid.....for some reason I ended up watching lord of the rings...weird
hollywood is looking for this guy!!!!
Nice LOTR reference on the tin whistle. Combines my woodworking hobby with my Tolkien nerdiness.
Okay, I have to say this, and don’t let it go to your head... but this is possibly the best crosscut sled concept I’ve seen. I have a long and passionate love-hate relationship with my crosscut sleds. I’ve built and scrapped several of the things over the years, and with use have always found flaws that make me crazy. This sled addresses every issue I’ve had. And yes, JKM’s stop is amazing.
Cool that it’s universal, definitely handy.
Thanks for giving me a solution for upgrading my current sled with inserting those t-tracks on top!
Check out AVE. The hierarchy of materials. Carbide cuts ALL, except for the stuff that us normal people can't afford
Love your channel bro
I’m digging your channel right now. I’m in the middle of restoring/renovating my home after Hurricane Laura. I’m biting off way more than I can currently chew so I’m soaking up as much UA-cam knowledge as I can get in my down time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in an entertaining way.
your top ply add on solves my dilemma of zero clearance for different blades including dads stacks. I will be modifying my existing sled. thanks 😊
I am trying to figure that part. When he does the dado, how do you revert back to the narrow blade?
@@davidmj54 move top pieces back to single blade width. Granted, I have not done this myself. I now have a small and large cross-cut sled, but none for dados. The kerf on my big sled has gotten chewed up, so yesterday I added Bondo to the kerf and will be cutting it next cross-cut. I have also used Bondo on a regular table saw insert to make one zero clearance.
Just cut the aluminum on someone else’s saw
You had really nice things laying around your shop
I love your videos. In this one I like that you used t track. You inspired me to add that to my cross cut sled. Thanks man!
i am super digging this idea for a new sled... Time to go build this TOMORROW. Love it. Thanks again!
BTW, I know that this video was on how to build a sled but I watched this after watching your cabinet build series and the video on going to a lumber center to select your wood rather than the big box store. Just in case your wondering.👍
Nice man. my next project well done love ya work.
thanks i wish i lived closer and could learn more from you
Thank you for sharing your expertise, and your ideas , love the videos
Your videos are so fun to watch while learning!
Nice Lotr tune!
you are so talented you make me want to do woodworking you videos are great keep up the great woor.
Bearded man has done it again. Shown me an easier way. I have learned so much. May by I can visit the shop when this pandemic is over........
AWESOME, MAN!!! Great Skills, beautiful job and brilliant finish.
This looks like Kings Fine Woodworking’s crosscut sled. Pretty nice, I am going to give it a shot.
Nice and easy to follow. I made a sled but will add the features you showed. Thank you.....
incredible stuff here....GOLD..........thanks for sharing this. I think the only thing i'd change is adding threaded recessed screws for easy attachment and removal and reattachment of the blade/dado cover piece.
:) You're very entertaining:) This is a great video but definitely for the do-er that has ALL the tools...and you certainly have ALL of them :)
Very nice. I plan to use 1/2 inch ply instead of 3/4 in order to gain 1/2 inch more blade high on my version. Thanks for the Idea and sharing.
You gain 1/4 inch that way. If you want gain 1/2 inch, use dovetails inside the 3/4-inch base instead of these t tracks.
@@langrock74 My bad yea 1/4 inch gain.
Very good channel, I’m recently retired and need help setting up my wood shop. Started by looking for an ideal shop layout. This channel is perfect place to get some good advice.
Been watching your videos for a while and love them. Love the comedy as well 🤣🤣
Here is Mac Allan from Denmark ... Thanks for your way of being ,,, and a happy weekend to you
Man you are so cool and smart!
One last addon you need. A piece of adhesive backed measuring tape, put on the top of your rear panel and zero'd using your stop. Youll just need to slide the stop to the measurement you want and lock it in place. Did that on my cross cut sled, adds so much usefulness.
Simple and functional best sled video I've seen!
Building it is the easy part, finding flat plywood is the challenge without paying an arm and a leg.
Sweet sled. Nice when the "crap" in your shop includes a $70 sheet of plywood. I should be so lucky. Now I know what to do with that left over T-track. Thanks man.
AWESOME BUILD.. thanks for the ideas..
Nice! Pretty cool.
Bro you gotta start doing two vids a week! You def have the best vids out there out of the woodworking channels! Keep them coming!
one on wood working, one on building a Dam boat.
