    I tried to make one of these, but found the sled and wood combined weighed too much for my feed rollers to move through successfully. I have a 13" Ridgid portable type. Your mileage may vary.

    I don't smoke but I do drink the sweet elixer in the shop. Equally taboo by some peoples standards, but that's my choice. Smoking a cigar might be very enjoyable with a drink.
