First pic is my dust collector for the new Rigid shop vac I just bought. Thanks to everyone who built one before me. Mine is not pretty but it works very well. After sweeping up about 7 gallons of mainly MDF dust, the filter was still very clean. Number 2 is my new drill press table, Mdf...

Mothers Day Frame made from purple heart and maple.

I have gone w/o a table saw sled for way too long - I have been thinking about designing a table saw sled that could act as both a cross cut sled and a miter sled and this is what I came up with - being it is a jig that I will be using a lot I pulled out all the stops and tried to make it as...

I thought I'd post a shop project. It just a table saw sled that holds pieces on an angle to cut the slot for a keyed miter joint. Simple, but effective. I could run a dado blade through it as well, but just haven't needed to yet. For the project shown in the pictures, I just clamped a block...

I had a very brief window of time to get Christmas presents made this year and fortunately I was able to get from start to finish (literally :D) in a week. I couldn't have done it without the miter sled I made a few months back. Since I know ya'll have been inundated with Christmas project...

I finally went to the dark side and used some pallets for a project. I am starting to sell some of my etsy shop items in a local store on our towns' main street. I wanted a unique table to display the items on that was rustic looking. I used some 2×2's to frame the top, but otherwise it was...

This is another box I've built without bothering to design it first. I should get away from that practice. This is made of cherry. Shellac finish. I used my newly built miter sled to cut the corners. They fit pretty well, I think. For no good reason other than to do it, I used a very thin...

I made this Tribute award plaque for my son's restaurant which is located in my mom's home town. He wanted some things to adorn his walls so he could pay tribute to our hometown. My mom was an avid, home town alumni and loved her school. She graduated in 1945 and it was her class that came up...

Over the past few days I took some Melamine, Plywood, Oak and other material I had leftover from other projects and turned them into new cutting sleds for my new Table Saw. I made a large off-center Cross Cut Sled, a Miter Sled, a Small Parts Sled and a Panel Sled, I borrowed a bunch of ideas...

My first miter sled was build mostly as a test. It was inspired by David Marks aluminum miter sled. It's nothing fancy, has a 9mm (11/32) plywood base, 3/4 marine plywood fences, T-track on each fence for blog stops (for t-track I use aluminum curtain tracks), 2 de-sta-co hold down clamps...

I have not posted anything for a while ; I have been busy building this. T&J plan with a few small minor changes , one example being that I curved a slice of timber for the mudguards rather than cut them out of a block. and tyres made from 2 pieces of wood not 3 is another difference. Garry

Made a simple one sided miter sled jig to make some picture frames that will be Christmas gifts. Build video is here.
