Note that it's different from the panel jig, as it will only handle pieces small enough to fit between the forward and rear stops.

Re: Worth the 20 minutes
I built my sled several years ago and it works like a champ. The only thing I would have done different is make it deeper to accommodate wider panels.
Wish they would have had youtube stuff then.....I had to look at pictures to build mine.

Good quality videos on Youtube are too few and far between. This one is very well done. Thanks Leland.

Looxury - sheeer looxury! Oh we used to dream of having pictures to look at! The best we could manage were little scribbles on back of cigarette packet we found, which were just ideas from neighbour o'er road.Bruce Weldy wrote:.....I had to look at pictures to build mine.
Cigarette packets! You were lucky to find them. Our part of the country were so penniless, even neighbours were hard to find. Mind you, we were happy in those days, though we were poor.

The Wood Whisperer. I've watched a bunch of his videos a while back. William Ng as well. It sure is simple the way he explains it, along with how to get dead-on accuracy. Thankfully, Bill had provided good plans, so I was well on my way a few years back.

Poor? We used to envy the poor.....we were so broke, we couldn't even pay attention.

True. I posted it for the squaring tips, and the excellent stop block trick at 20:00.Bill Fitzmaurice wrote:Note that it's different from the panel jig, as it will only handle pieces small enough to fit between the forward and rear stops.

Broke? You lucky bastards. That meant you had some memory of money to even know what 'broke meant'. We just longed for the luxury of knowing what broke could even feel like. Mind you, we were happy...in middle of road....living in a paper bag.Bruce Weldy wrote:Harley wrote:Looxury - sheeer looxury! Oh we used to dream of having pictures to look at!
