    that must be the best design for a table saw depth /height giage I have seen anywhere and no doubt it can be used for many other purpoes too. well done Jack

    I love your videos because you sling some hot genius around like it's nothing - and you make it so simple to understand.

    Jack, I must say you must be in my shop when I'm working out there looking for a height gauge or center of a board. WOW that is a nice piece of work. It will be a new tool in my shop. Thanks loads.

    I am so impressed with this design & explanatory video. Thank you! I’m going to try make one. Please keep sharing your expertise.

    Fun project Jack! I made one of these and it works great! I waxed the areas where the wood slides together and it slides easily. great idea!

    I like this. I will make it with an addition for a depth gauge also. Just put another base on the top. Then add a 1/16 metal rod on the back of the slider, the same height as the top base. Then flip it over and the metal rod can go into a hole for a depth gauge.

    Damn Jack, you sure have a bad rheumatism or arthritis going on in your hands. Having the drive and the courage to overcome this ordeal is sure inspiring, like the videos you make. Respect geachte heer (dear sir in Dutch) Houweling, respect... and thank you for sharing your ideas and solutions.

    Hi J another good idea , I would need a magnifying glass with my old eyes, but I need to make one of these, I have a problem when using my sled as I have plexiglass over the top protecting me from the fast flung dust , so might need to make 2 and adjust one,

      "respect" isn't exactly the right word....more like "omg, you still have all your fingers?"

  • @BerraLilltroll
    @BerraLilltroll 11 років тому

    Nice job. I also like the editing. You take away the boring parts.
    Perhaps take away a bit at the top to match the ruler shape.

    I'll come over later and get yours, then he can use that to push the wood through. That work for you?

  • @Jefbracke
    @Jefbracke 10 років тому

    Hey man
    I loved your video. I would have also liked to see you cut the notches. You skip over those parts here and your notches look really good.
    I think its especially interesting given that the notches are quite small.
    Did you use a band saw or a table saw or something else?
    Thanks a lot.

  • @GerritKlaassen
    @GerritKlaassen 11 років тому

    Wouldn't it be better to have the line on the inside of the plexiglas? Because this way you have to be on eye-level with the hight of the line (because of the thickness of the plexiglass). Nice video, I"m gonna make me one!

    Appreciate seeing the finished product at the start. Neat and simple solution but I cringed at your saw safety. No diving knife, no push stick, no eye protection especially when cutting plexiglass. Please take care of yourself and keep making such excellent videos

  • @derleiter8595
    @derleiter8595 10 років тому

    Gute Idee. Aber bitte den Plexiglasstreifen umdrehen, denn je näher der Strich beim
    Maßband liegt, um so genauer ist die Ablesung. Ein Fehler durch schräges Reinschauen ist dann ausgeschlossen.

    • @RobertSeviour1
      @RobertSeviour1 10 років тому

      Translation: Turn the plexiglass around so that the line is next to the ruler, thus avoiding parallax errors.
      That's a good point.
