Re: Easy Table Saw Crosscut Sled

Rob:
I have used a rear mounted fence sled for years, but I never liked using the larger ones to much hanging off the front of the saw when trying to start the cut, for that reason I always make mine for a little over a 12" crosscut. I finally got around to building a sled like the one you made yesterday; I made mine out of 3/4" MDF at 19"x28-1/2", because that’s what I had for scraps. It works great I haven't used it on a project yet just some 3/4" ply, but it handled a 28" crosscut with no issues. I never added hold downs, but I could if the need arises. Mine was built to square up panels after glue up, usually 20" or less. As for the issue of the outfeed platform moving, I left the runner a little on the tight side so it doesn’t move while in use, I also drilled a hole in it while I was drilling holes in the sled to hang it up while not in use. This is going to be a real time saver for squaring up panels and a very easy jig to build, thanks for the great idea Rob

Re: Matched Shaker Nightstands





Looks great. I just started milling up lumber to build a couple of nightstands following the same article as you did by Mike Pekovich, I was just wondering what did your overall dimensions end up being? How did the dovetailed keys for the side molding go for you? Now what a chest of drawers to match?
