Re: Build a Super-Precise Tablesaw Crosscut Sled

I liked the basic idea very much, but thought Jeffrey Slater's technique for attaching the TWO runners, and his use of a temporary register for the combination square might be improvements. Both techniques depend for success upon the careful use of an absolutely accurate square. I would recommend a Sterrett combination square. It's worth the extra money. Thanks to both contributors.

Re: Brad Smith: Story of a Stool

As someone who struggles to make a decent crosscut sled or router table I was totally in awe of these jigs. Great slide show!

Re: A sure-fire sharpening method

I found this extremely useful. It shows just how much preparatory sharpening work is necessary if you are to get effective use out of chisels and planes. This list of sharpening equipment is also very handy.

Derek from Perth's comments about removing the burr made good sense.

I'd very much enjoy a similar video lesson on setting up the iron in a hand plane.
