My new sled with upgrades....

[Mike Jobe]

Unbelievable workmanship and design... "standing O"

[Dave Harker]

But I don't see anywhere to hook up the iPod!

One speaker on each side, mounted to the far end of the sled for a proper soundstage, with a recess in the far fence for the iPod... now you have an excuse to make V3.0 :-)

Gorgeous sled, makes my 1/2" plywood version look quite lame.

Mark -

A very well thought out piece of shop furniture you have there! I'd be proud to use anything that nice, and even more proud if I could think up and make something like that!

Well done!

Mike

[John Gornall]

Mark, well done!

However jigs like this are never really finished - there's always another idea.

Here's one to keep you going:

You need another 90 degrees of miter to cut many frame mouldings.

You can cut a flat moulding that can be flipped but not a round top or other complicated-non-flat shape. For these you need another 90 degrees of miter on the other side of the blade to cut the other end. This way you keep the flat back of the moulding down against the sled table.

Thanks everyone.

It really is a joy to have in the shop. The telescoping end is an incra scale t-track that i fit into the end of the fence. First I cut a dado in the bottom of the fence. After that, it's just a matter of fitting a filler piece for underneath the track.

It may be showing up in a popular magazine in the next couple months. Can't give you the name but I can give you a hint. FWW.

Not sure if they'll publish it or not, but they said they really liked it, that the editors were going to discuss it at their next meeting, and they would be in touch within a month. We'll see.......

Mark, is there any news about possible publication of your TS sled?

[Cary Swoveland]

Beautiful design and execution, Mark. It motivates me to give more thought to the jigs I make. After all, if one is using a jig daily, why not strive to make it attactive as well as functional?

Way to Go!

[Ted Miller]

Mark, Awesome, nice piece of machinery you have there...

[Brad Noble]

Mark, is there any news about possible publication of your TS sled?

Well, could be, might be, maybe there is, Oh well, I'll keep my mouth shut and wait for Mark.

Beautiful, but could not see where it connected to the computer. Thanks for sharing. John Wagner

[Justin Henry]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh ummmmmmmmmmmm

beautiful!
What a marvolous sled.

[Lori Kleinberg]

Mark, that is one great looking sled. Would love to make one just like that. Has it been published yet? If so which mag? I can't believe I would have missed the buzz about it.

[Rich Torino]

Mark,
that's just an amazing piece of work.... How can I get to be your friend..??? I could use a better sled...

[Ted Miller]

Mark, Great idea for the inserts. I normally just pitch the sled when it becomes to messed up or out of square. But now I think its time for a major one, thanks for the ideas...

[Zahid Naqvi]

Made this one for a friend.... Course, he didn't get the updated version. I had to make one for myslef first.

Mark, I have this sudden urge to become your friend
nice job, the sled is better than some of my furniture projects.
