I believe I will flush my jig bed with my blade. That way I can see more closely how much material I am taking off....can use it for other purposes that way. Thank you for the video. I'm just getting into wood working and this will help greatly.
Great video series. Have you thought of making a jig or piece on back of your fence to hold that vacuum hose out of the way? I need to build one of those jointer sleds. It's on my short list. But, instead of prioritizing a cross-cut sled, I use my sliding miter saw. I haven't been using much pallet wood since it has been so difficult to extract from the pallets. The wood I do have came from pallets I finally just cut off the runners like you did. Most of it is really good hardwood. So I am considering cutting some more pieces again. Thank you for the series, Keep them coming!
Instead of 2 sleds, make one that is adjustable. Also make the sled a zero-clearance, that way you do not need to cut off a 1/4 or 16th. This will result in a wider end product.
Can someone explain to me why the first type of jig is needed to joint a side on a piece of wood? I keep seeing this kind of jig in any video talking about jointing without a jointer but I don’t get what the difference is between the jig and using your saw fence that is parallel with your blade already?
Can't see any reason to do any more than rip one edge, if you need board narrower than three inches, rinse and repeat same on length. Just going to cut down again unless you are using that specific size.
Unless the boards have a lot of skew angle along the length (i.e. they're pretty much parallel, but rough edges), why couldn't I just use the table saw fence to create the first edge, then flip it around to make the second? What am I missing here?
Well the problem with that is that the side you are running against the fence won't be flat and the long cut you will make will be skewed, and then you will still have to set up the fence a second time. It changes the workflow. You could certainly do it, but this way is more efficient and will likely end up with more consistent results
Jim, I have a question. I'm new to table saws and I'm not sure what blade is best for making cuts like the ones you showed in this video. I know the biggest difference is tooth count, but I'm not sure what blade to use to get consistent cuts without a lot of blow-through on the bottom side. What blade would you recommend?
I’m certainly no expert, so hopefully others will chime in! I’m using the general purpose blade at this time. I haven’t had any issues. Here is a good article on the subject! www.woodworkerssource.com/blog/woodworking-101/tips-tricks/woodworking-101-the-3-table-saw-blades-woodworkers-should-have/
One thing is puzzling me, why two jigs. You could have used the bigger one for both boards, the only difference would be the amount of board that was on the jig.
@@lastingbuild1373 I knew in the back of my mind that you would have a reason for making two jigs, but I could not see that until you told me. I wasn't trying to be clever or big headed, it was just my way of asking, thanks for the info.
If I had it to do over again, I would try to find two different size clamps for one single jig. Not that two jigs are a big deal to build but I’m quickly running out of storage space😬
Instead of using the miter slot, one jig would be sufficient with either size. Just let it follow the fence a d adjust the fence for the different sizes
I have never been lucky enough to find that nice of wood on a pallet. Nice video!
I love how every single board hits the dust collection hose
I work a lot with pallets... my most important tool is my Zircon metal detector
I always appreciate your videos. Very informative and it gave me a few ideas. Thanks for taking the time to make this and all your others. Cheers :)
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your comment as well!

Nice job.
Thanks!

Nicely done Sir
Hey David! Did your building get delivered yet?

I need to do that! It’s always getting in my way! Thanks for suggestion!

All good ideas! Thx
I have those 3 or 4 of those clamps and have been trying to decide what to do with them.
They work for lots of applications

how come you use sled instead of chop saw to cut boards to length?
I use both! Sled easier for shorter boards sometimes!

nice work but you are wasting wood, on the ends just cut enough to make it straight 90
You are right! Unfortunately, a lot of the ends have cracks in them so I trim those off.

What is the dust collection hood you have on your Dewalt saw
The blade guard was included with my saw!

I was not talking about the blade guard. But cover over the guard attached to the hose.

The clamps that I bought aren’t long enough to joint the smaller slats

Didn’t think of that! Thanks
can you use the jig to cut both sides of the wood?..
Which jig are you referring too?
@@lastingbuild1373 the first jig. the one that cuts the straight edge
Guy backed out of deal. Having to start from scratch
There's hardly any wood left.
