This is the first time I have watched one of your posts,and I really liked and appreciated what you said as well as the references to other peoples jigs.Thanks,and I will watch again.
I like how you and some of my other favorite workshop RUclipsrs are starting to reference and work with each other. I like the collaboration and mutual support. Very cool.
I really enjoy your videos, I like that you collaborate with other channels and promote them as well. Giving credit when it's due and being humble are noble attributes.
I liked your comment on "If you're going to use a framing square to check for square , may as well use it set you're fence". Simplicity is usually the most effective way of doing things.
I'm planning for a storage shelf exclusively for sleds to go under the right extension of my saw, so I'm looking into sleds I'll want to make in the future. This was a great help for what I might want. BTW, I find that using plastic or composite runners cut from cheap store-bought cutting boards make for very stable runners. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family mon ami!
An old video I know but I just found it. Great info mate, I like the practicality of your jigs & sleds, simple is always best. Plus its always refreshing to hear people explaining why something they put some effort into building has bad points. We're all trying to improve our work but too often hear only the good things or just a build video with not follow up on how practical it is after some use. Cheers
GREAT video Jay. It's nice for us to have you use the jigs for awhile and then give us your unbiased review. As we can see, not all of the jigs are a home run on the first try. Thanks again.
Thanks Jay, I was at the point of building a new crosscut sled and now I'm sold on the idea of a single sided sled which will solve all the issues I had with previous designs I've tried.
Great tips with the sleds. Here is a little one I use. I too like the one sided sled for the same reasons, however its one drawback can be chip out at the end of the cut at the trailing edge. If I want to prevent this, I place a piece of scrap wood behind the trailing edge of the piece I am cutting when I start the cut, to prevent any chip out at the end of the cut. Works great. Thanks Jay.
I like and agree with your thoughts on having the fence towards the back of the sled and will incorporate that into my soon to be newly modified cross-cut sled , Thanks
Very nice job on reviewing your various sleds and jigs. I have a Craftsman job site saw that provides a reasonable miter sled. The draw back is that many of the common jig designs simply will not work on my saw. However, many your observations provided me with a number of ideas for developing effective jigs.
You always hit the nail on the head. I always enjoy your presentations and the way you make your Video's. I have been watching since you first started?, and have enjoyed it every step of the way. Good Job, Hope YOU have a Good Day!
Kudos for the Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you considered - Rassiff Amazing Woodwork Blaster (do a search on google)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for woodworking plans minus the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend at very last got astronomical results with it.
You have a new fan! Appreciate your thorough descriptions, and some of your more advanced video edits (shop table) are a blast to watch! Rock on brother!
I would really like to become a good friend of yours in the case that you may someday get rid of a tablesaw. That seems to be a great way to get high quality tools, LOL. Keep up the great videos.
I was just thinking about making a different sled for the very same reason as you where the sled is off balance past the half way mark and towards the end. Gonna build me a one sided sled to see how I like it. Thanks, great tool talk ep.
+Simple DIYr Give google a search for "table saw super sled". Good design for one simple sled that you can make a few attachments for. Kind of like what Jay is talking about with the spline cutting jig but instead of a miter gauge you attach your spline jig, miter setup, tenon jig to the 'super sled'.
+NOLALongboards thanks, will do. I'm more interested in the one sided sled. With my current one, I find myself leaning over the sled towards the end and that's really scary.
Thank you for all of your videos. While there are many woodworking videos yours are easy to understand. I was wondering if you could do a video on making a simple Tapering jig. I was attempting to do a taper on both sides of a block for table leg and just couldn't get it right.
I discovered that you can put a strip or two of painters tape along the entire side of the runners. it stays put and works perfectly. I had the same issue with a few jigs and that method worked great.
Hi Jay great video as usual. I copied a idea from a channel a year ago where a grub screw is inserted into runner and adjusted every time humidity changes.
Hey Jay, Love these tool talks. This one in particular is quite timely. I'm about two thirds the way through building a replica of Nick Ferry's cross-cut sled and would like to ask you Nick and April about Jig storage especially when your shop size is limited.
I just got my first table saw and went to make my first sled, but ran into a dilemma where the material I grabbed, that was laying around for the runners ended up being thinner than my runner spaces on the saw. I fixed this problem by using two runners, as planned initially, and wedging them in on the outsides. This has the runners towards the center of each space, towards the blade. then glued on my board. Even though they don't fill the width of the runner, because they are touching the inside of each space, it doesn't allow any wiggle room because they counter act each other, and the sled is solid with no slack. :)
Great vid Jay. If I may, I would like to contribute one possible suggestion. When you are going to do a project that requires a counter sink bit, make your start mark with the awl or whatever you use and then use the countersink bit first. The hole will come out much cleaner and is more accurate overall for both bits. Please feel free to add this advice in your videos, if you agree and find it useful.
Somehow I thought I would be building a lot of jigs for my table saw before I ever got started. But I basically have only one jig, matthias wandels box joint jig (it's great, I use it to cut 6mm box joints or 1/4" with a regular blade). Happened on a hybrid style saw (cabinet/slider combo) and a slider made a whole lot of the most useful jigs like sleds entirely superfluous. I think a wedgie sled however would be worth building.
to fix the loose runner, Frank Howard did a video and he put a slit and a screw hole at the end of the runner so when you tighten the screw it expands the width of the end of the runner and makes a tighter fit.... I hope that made sense haha
Thanks Jay. I was wondering if you had a tenon jig but then I was wondering if any of your projects have used tenons. I do remember the half laps but I thought you did those with a dado blade. Anyway good vid. good info.
Like how you covered the builds you did before in the apartment shop and how you found little to no use of some of your jigs. However, the jigs were worth a try though. Will you be talking about any of your fence jigs or other shop jigs later?
Man, I never knew how hard it must be to say you are making a slice in the pitcher from so to input a disk/bisket between the joints for strengthening a joint and nice look. You way I think most people who did not know before hand such a joint , would had been clueless. Words to the wise. I had a doctor teach me this years ago. Never use a $50 word when you have a $1 that will work. Translation, dont try to be so fancy with your words and descriptions, so to show how fancy you can be while talking over your audience. In a manner designed to prevent you from best conveying your ideal to them.
I've started using jigs more & more lately. Good ideas! Regarding your single sided sled, wouldn't the runner length be the major factor? Specifically keeping the runner in the slot after the pass had been made? Just thinking.
Hey Jay, Love the tool talk videos, any chance at you consolidating them on a playlist, (i know you have 1-6 on a playlist but im sure it fell off your plate!) it would make for easier viewing and finding for your viewers! Thanks ~Deano
considered moving the fence on that single side sled so that you have the fence on far side when the sled is on the right and doesn't hang off the table?
I had a feeling that if I looked deeper into the comments I might find this one. That was my thought as well. There may be an obstruction in the way on the right side.
Good stuff once again. I too use the Norm style "panel cutting jig" as he called it. I added a toggle clamp to mine and that's been a big help stabilizing some pieces before some cuts get started. Do you put any finish on your jigs?
Thanks Jay. More helpful than you may think for such a simple video. Where do you end up storing all of your sleds and jigs? I'm pretty short on space.
one side sled is upside down hanging on my plywood cart. two sided sled is on the floor leaning up against the bandsaw. multifunction hold down sled is normally leaning against one of the crosscut sleds. Box joint jig is right in front of the saw. spline jig and anything I don't use often goes on the high storage shelves.
I love the idea of putting the fence on the leading edge, thanks very much for the idea. Subscribed. P.S., why not replace the runner on your single-sided sled?
Wouldn't the single side sled also work with multiple blades? Supposing your blade mounts to the left, it seems like no matter what the blade kerf, even if it's a dado, it's still probably going to work with that sled, right?
After watching many table saw vids with jigs I'm wondering why table saw manufacturers don't make tables that have 2 miter grooves on ea side of the blade. This would make sled design easier especially 1 sided jigs.
Do you find it best not to have runners on some of your sleds? Do you ever have trouble running it straight through the blade even up against the fence?
Good video Jay. How much play do you think is ok in the runner, or how do you check to see if it's too much? I just made a very basic sled to start using and the runner isn't perfect, but I think too much tighter and it would stop sliding freely enough.
+Jon Stewart Make a cut and check it for square. If it's not square either the fence isn't 90 degrees or the runner has too much play. My fence is still a perfect 90 degrees to the edge of the sled and I don't consistently get 90 degree cuts.
hey guys, I have been on a crappy black and Decker, Walmart table saw........for 11 years now. was just a rough carpenter at the time, but now with my own shop near completion, I need more from my table saw. was thinking of a used saw from Craigslist. there are a lot in my area. any good brands to keep an eye open for? I know I won't find a sawstop on Craigslist, the only other names I know that could be trusted to make a decent product would be them, delta and grizzly. any other suggestions?
As one viewer commented, buy cheap HDPE cutting boards and cut your runners from that. Then there is no worries about expansion or shrinkage. Nice video Jay.
I haven't either BUT have a cutting board of it given by a friend that will become runners, blocks etc. Great Videos Jay2, My #1 sled is small & because of that gets used the most.. Gary/Hk
+NE P (Pepper Squad) I filled the PVC slots with tools like normal. I have a couple more tools than PVC slots so the wasted triangle space between two PVC tubes and the back of the holder is perfect for holding small diameter tools cutting edge down. Just cant see what they are.
Dear Sir I would like to thank you for these beautiful creations, from which we work many and many And I want to ask you to shoot a video for the industry of horizontal motion mechanic Because I am an industrial secondary teacher and I will implement it in my school and this machine will benefit me and the students very much I thank you again and await your response to my wish Name: Hussein Ibrahim Egyptian teacher
you can use uhmw tape or iron-on veneer on your runner to pick up the slack on your panel sled. also, david's (fww's) picture frame sled was a terrible design for large frames (~5" miters). the sled hangs awkwardly-heavily & diagonally unsupported off the table just to start the cut, and very jerky in all directions feeding it into the blade. (due to the majority of it hanging off the table) huge disappointment & a waste of time.
Buy yourself a machinist square they are more accurate. and they really don't cost that much. But I've found a speed square is for the most part better then a framing square you can drop it and its ok you drop a framing square and you can knock it out of square I've got one that's so far out its not funny. The carpenter that built my house must have had it. Apparently the 3-4-5 method was 3.2-3.9-and 5.5 Yes I know lumber moves, but not 3"....
You are an accomplished carpenter: I am not. If you are just speaking to equal peers who know just how your tools will be used, fine. If not, you've lost the rest of us! Show us how they work; show us what they do! Cut some wood! We are more ignorant than you think. Me thinks. Thanks for teaching us.
This is the first time I have watched one of your posts,and I really liked and appreciated what you said as well as the references to other peoples jigs.Thanks,and I will watch again.
Thanks for this useful info. I like your straightforward natural style of delivery.
I like how you and some of my other favorite workshop RUclipsrs are starting to reference and work with each other. I like the collaboration and mutual support. Very cool.
rmcdaniel423 dude, it's a wood working rennasance! Same goes for all things. I love the internet!
pro tip: watch series on Kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Fox Vincenzo Definitely, been using KaldroStream for since december myself :)
I love your no-nonsense approach to this...."if it's not convenient, I'm not interested" lol. thanks for sharing this. great video as always.
I really enjoy your videos, I like that you collaborate with other channels and promote them as well. Giving credit when it's due and being humble are noble attributes.
+Dave Moreno Thank you Dave,
than you for this Jay. As a new woodworker it's good to see what stood the test of time.
Jigs and sleds are the most wonderful things and are wonderful inspiration to hear all your thoughts on them. Thanks Jay.
I like that you revisited your jigs and offered up tips and advice after you have used them (or not used them) for a while. Thanks!
I liked your comment on "If you're going to use a framing square to check for square , may as well use it set you're fence". Simplicity is usually the most effective way of doing things.

I like and agree with your thoughts on having the fence towards the back of the sled and will incorporate that into my soon to be newly modified cross-cut sled , Thanks
Thanks Jay! I made the multi-purpose carriage bolt jig to be used for tapering legs. Works like a dream.
Great insights! As a person who is planing to build Nick's sled it was very good to learn that the one-sided has big advantages, too

i like yr thought process about the one sided crosscut sled Jay.
I like your thought process Jay. Cheers.
Totally enjoyed this! Looking for good solutions/ideas for sleds/jigs for typical cuts and needs. Thanks for sharing!!
As soon as I started the video I liked the speed at which you talk.

I was surprised at how well its holding up too. it hasn't fallen off or even wore down
Your infeed supports are also very good for the table saw
Hi Jay great video as usual. I copied a idea from a channel a year ago where a grub screw is inserted into runner and adjusted every time humidity changes.

Nice job. Kept me very intrigued
I wish more people would post videos like this, especially if they have a lot of jig or tool-building videos.
Sweet !! My fav is the multi table saw hold down sled :). Lots of bells and whistles in this video. :)
#first post and #youshould be first to reply. Lol
Some very cool ideas, many thanks.
Great vid Jay. If I may, I would like to contribute one possible suggestion.

thanks Jay nice video, nice chat. from México Mark
Thanks Jay, All hail to Norm.... My sled is also the single side design from the NY Wk shop ;0
Hail NORM HAIL NORM HAIL NORM........... If norm comes on This old house and complains about Hail damage to his house we have you to blame!
I liked your points about sled stability. So I was thinking... Couldn't cross cut sleds be more stable if the fences were placed away from the edge?
Somehow I thought I would be building a lot of jigs for my table saw before I ever got started. But I basically have only one jig, matthias wandels box joint jig (it's great, I use it to cut 6mm box joints or 1/4" with a regular blade).

I rip 6mm acrylic for table runners, sand to an exact fit and never worry about moisture expanding and contracting them
Thank's for sharing your knowledge! Great ideas
Thanks Jay. I was wondering if you had a tenon jig but then I was wondering if any of your projects have used tenons. I do remember the half laps but I thought you did those with a dado blade. Anyway good vid. good info.

+MRrwmac I don't have any fence jigs that I can think of. I might do a video on various other shop jigs or projects.
I don't know why I am just now subscribing
Great video. Thanks for all the info.
I like the tool talks. Keep up the good videos.
Great video. You don't like the front or rear fence extending past the blade to help with tear out?
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
your miter jig looks like a cool plane design. my kids would be all over it. it would more likely be in tjeir toy box than in my shop
Man, I never knew how hard it must be to say you are making a slice in the pitcher from so to input a disk/bisket between the joints for strengthening a joint and nice look. You way I think most people who did not know before hand such a joint , would had been clueless.

cool jigs. I have a couple like that I don't use. other than my cross-cut.
I've always found that a rear fence has the benefit of reducing tear-out compared to the front fence.
I've started using jigs more & more lately. Good ideas! Regarding your single sided sled, wouldn't the runner length be the major factor? Specifically keeping the runner in the slot after the pass had been made? Just thinking.
I used a 3/4 x3/8 pc of cold roll for miter slot works great
That was a fairly long video. I watched the entire thing. I’m pretty handy with the tools myself and I gotta say….that was a great video bud.
These are great! Thanks for sharing!
thanks for the video good information Jay
At 13:47 It's a good idea of that side jig.
Didn't you make a jointer/taper sled early on?
I remember watching!
It was an old video I think
Hey Jay, Love the tool talk videos, any chance at you consolidating them on a playlist, (i know you have 1-6 on a playlist but im sure it fell off your plate!) it would make for easier viewing and finding for your viewers!
Thanks
~Deano
jay do you have a video showing how to use the( hold down jig ) for jointing. thanks
considered moving the fence on that single side sled so that you have the fence on far side when the sled is on the right and doesn't hang off the table?
I had a feeling that if I looked deeper into the comments I might find this one. That was my thought as well. There may be an obstruction in the way on the right side.

Box joint jig is right in front of the saw. spline jig and anything I don't use often goes on the high storage shelves.
I love the idea of putting the fence on the leading edge, thanks very much for the idea.
Subscribed.
P.S., why not replace the runner on your single-sided sled?
Thanks Jay!
Wouldn't the single side sled also work with multiple blades? Supposing your blade mounts to the left, it seems like no matter what the blade kerf, even if it's a dado, it's still probably going to work with that sled, right?
After watching many table saw vids with jigs I'm wondering why table saw manufacturers don't make tables that have 2 miter grooves on ea side of the blade. This would make sled design easier especially 1 sided jigs.
why is the runner on your one sided cross cut sled sticking out towards you? Why didn't you cut it off?
+Howard Springsteen Not sure why I didn't cut it off. It's not bothering me so I think I'll leave it for now.
mitter jigs just works with a tenon jig, tilting the frame like wandel does.
Do you find it best not to have runners on some of your sleds? Do you ever have trouble running it straight through the blade even up against the fence?
+Joe Thompson It's the same as pushing a piece of plywood through. Focus on keeping the material flush against the fence.
Good video Jay. How much play do you think is ok in the runner, or how do you check to see if it's too much? I just made a very basic sled to start using and the runner isn't perfect, but I think too much tighter and it would stop sliding freely enough.

hey guys, I have been on a crappy black and Decker, Walmart table saw........for 11 years now. was just a rough carpenter at the time, but now with my own shop near completion, I need more from my table saw. was thinking of a used saw from Craigslist. there are a lot in my area. any good brands to keep an eye open for? I know I won't find a sawstop on Craigslist, the only other names I know that could be trusted to make a decent product would be them, delta and grizzly. any other suggestions?

how do i get to nick's sled video?
GREAT VIDEO!
Great video
super helpful video!
on the last cross cut sled you showed in the video is there a difference between that and a panel cutting sled?
+Matt Dodaro It's the same thing.
ok tnks
As one viewer commented, buy cheap HDPE cutting boards and cut your runners from that. Then there is no worries about expansion or shrinkage. Nice video Jay.
Would HDPE runners work better?
+Making SawDust Never used them. Maybe?
Was just thinking that 1. It is dimensionally stable and 2. It should glide with no issue.
+Making SawDust I've started using HDPE runners. It's glorious.
I haven't either BUT have a cutting board of it given by a friend that will become runners, blocks etc. Great Videos Jay2, My #1 sled is small & because of that gets used the most.. Gary/Hk
Какая у вас циркулярка?
Frank Howart has a video with a better version (IMO) of Picciutto's miter jig

I'm building nicks sled at the moment
Dude what's up with the lathe tools being upside down? haha
+NE P (Pepper Squad) I filled the PVC slots with tools like normal. I have a couple more tools than PVC slots so the wasted triangle space between two PVC tubes and the back of the holder is perfect for holding small diameter tools cutting edge down. Just cant see what they are.

No worries :)

you can use uhmw tape or iron-on veneer on your runner to pick up the slack on your panel sled.
