This is my recently made table saw miter sled. I had some 1/2" plywood scrap so I simply laminated them to three layers…mostly; the top layer was a little small because I miscalculated but it didn't matter. Then I cut it to a perfect 90 deg on the crosscut sled and screwed it onto my old table...

Numerous left overs can be more a gift than a burn pile. I've been needing a keyed miter slot jig for some time and finally had the wood nedded. I'm in the process of making my daughter a Andys' style box out of pine, bloodwood, and some big leaf maple. I got to the ponint in the biuld to make...

I just built this sled for moulding in some raised panel doors we are doing. I added an insert to bevel the miter. It is removable using threaded inserts in the sled. It is a piece beveled at 7 degrees. This allows the moulding to set flat on the bevel of the raised panel. You can remove the...

I recently made myself a 45 degree miter sled after reading a Fine Woodworking article about box making. I made a small box to test out the sled. It was so nice that I didn't want to throw it away, so I started pondering what I could do with it. It was close to Valentines day so I came up with...

I haven't posted anything in awhile, but I have been trying to find a satisfactory way of storing my Incra sled. I wasn't happy about setting it on the floor (carefully of course). I tried to do some searches online, and some utilized the holes in the sled and used hooks in the wall to hang...

This is the first time my target was in the thousandths of an inch range… Yea… I missed that mark by 600% using the 5 cut method, feeler gauges and couldn't get under 7 thousandths of an inch over a 24" cut. According to Marc Spagnuolo and Mr. William Ng this is still unacceptable or at least...

Well I have now built two miter sleds, the first one (I think I posted as an earlier build) ended up being to heavy for me because I just had a full rotator cuff surgery; the second one I chose to make sure it was lighter (Pic will be added later). Anyway after building it I looked around for...

Last but not least of the January Jigs….the new taper/jointer/crosscut/miter sled. I used to trace all the back slats for my chairs onto the stock, then clamp it to my old taper jig by lining up the pencil marks…now I simply set up the sliding fence to the part template, and can cut multiple...

So when I bought my tablesaw a few years ago I didn't realize that "wood working" was many hours of "jig making" in order to have a few fabulous moments of wood working. So this miter sled was made as a result of cutting countless miters every other wrong way possible until I realized that this...

About 2 years ago I posted my Table Saw Sled that is very versatile. Sometimes a dedicated jig actually works better. In making boxes recently I found I would prefer a smaller sled. In cutting the miters for box sides I would wear myself out using my large table saw sled, although using an my...

Here are some picture frames I made for these vintage musical instrument posters. The mahogany was salvaged from packing crates. The birdseye maple was scraps thrown away by a cabinet shop. This is the first time I've made splined miters and I think they turned out pretty well. This project was...

These are a few round cheese boards using the multi generation lamination scheme… The first is sapelle mahogany with a hoop pine accent.. Second is virgin hoop pin with purple heart and narra stripes and narra edges… Third is narra with purple heart and hoop pine… Fourth is same as the third but...

A good friend and work colleague asked me if I could make him a display box for his pocket watch collection and this is a few pictures of its making. it is again made from off cuts of wood that my friends give to me.

This was a residential job when I had my shop. The lady wanted a hall table to match her furniture. This is what I came up with. I made the legs on a band saw using the compound cut method. I made the draw face by making a template of the design I wanted. Then using my inverted pin router I cut...

The frame is made of anigre veneer glued to 1/2" MDF and trimmed with red oak. I used a miter sled on the table saw (that I just made) to cut the miters. I should have made a miter sled a long time ago; it's basically idiot proof. Its finished with amber shellac. I made this frame for my...

more bowls.

These are cutting boards I made for Christmas gifts. First projects I have made to give away, and I really enjoyed them. Maple, walnut, and cherry. Sorry about the flash wash-out in the pics my wife took. Looking forward to trying some of the more challenging designs out there.

This is a 24"×20" cherry picture frame finished with two coats of sealer shellac and then two coats of wipe-on poly. The width of the frame is 2-3/4" and thickness is 1-1/2". I first used Sketchup to come up with the profile of the frame. To start with, I laminated the cherry and poplar...

I've been wanting to make a dedicated miter sled for the table saw for a long time. Finally got around to it. Made of some scrap 3/4" fir plywood and some reclaimed birch 2×4's, this sled can handle boards up to 16" wide. It is dead flat to the table and the blade set at a perfect 45 degrees...

This is more of a testimonial than a project post. I finally got around to building a cross cut sled and a clamp on miter jig. They both work great evidenced by the test frame. And the reason they work well is all the great advice available from Lumberjocks! The five cut (Ng) method works...
