    The caning or something similar was chosen so we wouldn’t lose the vent. We love the finished product!

    I'm seriously euphoric right now! I just built the squaring jig and second stop for the sawstop sliding sled and it worked like a dream! I seriously can't thank you enough for this. I've been battling the sled since I bought it a year and a half ago. I've spent enough hours trying to fix it that I could've bought a new sliding sled many times over. I just made a series of square cuts without any deviation for the first time with this glorified paperweight. Thank you!

    This turned out really, really well. Thank goodness you had a chill client... I thought caning went out when the 70s ended. I'm hoping that one of these days, you get a client that demands (!!) an all-natural wood finish. No stain. No dye. Just wood. I'll say one thing, though, of all the woodworking channels I consume (a lot), you probably have one of the top levels of finish knowledge - depth, technique, repair, etc. I would hope that others contact you for consulting rather than just slapping on another coat of that hard wax oil we have been over-exposed to at this point... or the other one, for that matter.
    Best scene here was you rigging up your temporary dust collection. First, if something is fancy, one must hold his pinky outward to denote the fanciness, and - technical point of order - duct tape in fact prevents the world from turning.
    Rock on!

    That final product is so beautifully elegant and sophisticated! I love it! I was sitting here doing little design inspiration doodles for my future dream kitchen, taking some styling cues from here and there. Gorgeous!
    What you mentioned about working alone really hits home for me. I exclusively work alone in my shop (I have no one to help me), and I also have to work with physical disabilities that limit my mobility and range of motion. That little Harbor Freight furniture dolly you're using nearly killed me on more than one occasion, and I don't mean that figuratively.
    I would strongly encourage you to get rid of it right now. Cut it up and throw it away. Get yourself several sets of QUALITY heavy duty casters with wheel locks (spend money on these), and build yourself several reinforced platforms of various shapes and sizes. ALWAYS have two fixed wheels and two spinny wheels on each platform; do not give in to the temptation of having four spinny wheels, as the platform WILL shift at the worst possible time. Carpet the platform with commercial grade low-pile carpet. The platform dimensions should be larger than the footprint of load it's carrying.
    Two trips to the hospital in my late 20s, one for a neck injury I healed from, and one for a shoulder injury I didn't. Those dinky little furniture dollies are meant for low, wide loads; not the kind of stuff we're slinging around our workspaces. Take care of yourself! :)

      It's 1/2"mdf with a strip mounted on the bottom that falls into the groove on the crosscut table. The mdf is cut square and finely adjusted. When it's pushed against the crosscut fence, then the fence is locked down, now the crosscut table cuts perfectly square every time. So it's just a jig to set the angle of the fence.

Let's be clear what I feel; I feel outrage about how a company exploits personal trauma and personal despair. As such, how would you feel about accepting money from a clusters munition company? Or how about Exxon? Or maybe you approach sponsorship based on what "Helps" you better and care not about what it is for your viewers? Once is a mistake, so I will continue to watch your other content. Twice is on purpose.

    Puzzles me, that you do not have a suction carrier for sheets, when you have such a nice big workshop. That would take some of the hard work out of moving sheets.

      I have a grabo, I don't typically use it when I'm moving sheets to the tablesaw though. Thanks for the tip!

      I think he might be referring to those assisted suction sheet loaders the help bear the weight too

    Seriously, it's time for a real saw. A sliding table saw.

      This sawstop is a 7.5 horsepower beast. I find it funny that all these youtubers are getting sliding saws, even though they aren't even production shops and will barely use the saws for their intended purpose.

      I've had something like the saw stop for years now. I own a small sliding table saw it's basically the same size as the saw stop, and believe me, they are so much more convenient.

    Great project. Can you give more details about the second clamp for the crosscut sled? Homemade or purchased? if homemade, what kind of stock did you use? I have the same complaint about drift and use a good 24" square in the slot but would like more stiffness to it. I'd like to add the second knob too.

      I used a piece of maple. It has 2 bolts going through it into the t track on the back of the crosscut fence. Then a knob going into the left most slot of the moving table. I only losen this knob when taking the fence off but I leave it attached to the fence at all times.
      The mdf square is easy, it's just 1/2" mdf with a runner on bottom. Then it's fine tuned with a handplane and sanding block until the front edge makes the crosscut fence perfectly square. Works every single time

      @@FortressFineWoodworks Thanks for the details. I'll put one together. It looked to me like you were using an aluminum extrusion. Much simpler than I was trying to make it in my head.
