The fact that you give every dimensions both in metric and imperial shows the quality of your content. Thanks

Hi Patrick; I have built three miter gauges and watched lots of videos about this issue. I have to say that your video is the best I have seen so far. First of all, the reduction to what you really need. But then, all the details you can't leave out are well thought out. Great! Robert.

The Slacker Academy award makes my day every time I see it. I actually printed it out to to put it on my workshop. Thank you very much for sharing all your videos to the world. Appreciate all. Thanks

Stumbled upon Patrick’s video while scrolling through miles of gibberish, always in search of those tiny gold nuggets of information. By the time I finished watching, I was in awe! I found it refreshingly honest in a sea of BS (let’s be honest and call it what it is). He called upon experience and referenced good old fashion trial and error. I really appreciate that as well as the fact I was not inundated with ad’s. Yes I know so many make a living this way and seem to need to crank out junk on a scheduled basis. I rarely make comments good or bad, everyone is entitled to opinion. But I truly felt his video was worth the “Like” and worth the time. Good luck to all woodworkers out there.

When this man puts out a video. One should watch and listen.

Hi Patrick. Many thanks for all of your great woodworking videos. It is obvious that you put much time and care into each one. It is so gracious of you to do so much for all of us duffers out here.

Loving your work,Patrick. So many priceless insights so thoughtfully presented. I'm an unrepentant jig-maker/addict these days,especially since getting my head around what u can do with a router. It's a craft and an art in itself with rewards embarassingly beyond the time invested. (imo) It's a reliable path to safety,precision,knowledge and clarity of thinking,exercising and honing the most important tool out there - the human mind and its capacity to think outside the box to get what's inside the box nailed down the 'best' way . The better u understand the task,the simpler the solution and the more transferable the lesson learnt. Some of my early jigs were waaay OTT and resembled a game of Mousetrap/Jenga , over-thinking the task when a few scraps with one good edge precisely fixed to another scrap was all it took.. The breakfast of champions? - CA glue,coffee and offcuts.

Thank you for the very informative video, by the way after the few shots of your shop I would love to see a shop tour as I'm sure so many others that watch your channel would agree with me

Great video! This is the last video that needs to be published on making a crosscut sled!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with those who will listen.

We the newbies are grateful. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Pro level advice based on logic, but more importantly the wisdom that comes with experience. Sorely lacking among some makers. Thanks for making this!

I could not find the plans for the sled or the tool cabinet but did enjoy your presentation to the max. Not very good with my computer. Thanks for sharing.

some absolutely excellent and uncommon ideas. really like the extended blade guard and the sandpaper on the face of the fence. i'm right in the middle of building my fence and i'll definitely be incorporating your ideas into mine. oh also i REALLY like the idea of storing the miter gauge vertically right by the saw, absolutely stellar solution. that's happening for sure.

That was very enjoyable to watch. Given me a few idea. Thanks for posting 👍🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Thank you Patrick.

Didn't see your super accurate miter sled near your table saw... could have missed it. Very glad to see a new video.

Very much appreciate the inclusion of metric measurements. Thank you!

Thanks for the tips! Straight on. Also like your sense of humour a lot. 🙂

Very nice Patrick, thank you. Now all I need is a tablesaw...the joys of hand woodworking.

PS- another great video. i've been sharing your router table & lathe build all over the web. I have some medical limitations. For over a decade i have been determined to return to building. These recent few years i've watched videos, planned builds in sketchup and purchased tools & jigs that i think may serve as medical aids. I've even reviewed some Kreg & Rockler jigs & clamps from the point of view of a person with disabilities for a small readership i have of people who are limited do to physical or mental disability, injury, advanced age, war or disease. i usually write tech. reviews and demonstrations for this demographic & articles about the independence that technology can bring to the disabled & how tech can bridge the generation gap & unite people of varied socio economic status. Then, after writing about some about woodworking technology & about my hope that it could help me get back to building, i got more emails than ever before. Letters from disabled folks & seniors that share my desire to get back in to the wood shop, and parents that want to share DIY & wood crafts with their learning challenged children. I've been to ill to publish this year but i keep in touch with this group. We all email & text each other & share KZfaq videos from people like yourself who are so generous with your knowledge. So, my tools & jigs are piling up & getting dusty. Only a few have been test driven & even less have been put to actual work. Which is okay, because i'll tell you Mr S., this whole process has been a pleasure. i have only had the health & opportunity to teach my Godson a few things & with his help, i did some repairs & trim work in my nieces new home & we built 2 nursery pieces for her new family. I loved every minute. To be honest, even just the planning. The daydreaming, video watching & sketch up have kept me hopeful & optimistic. The sum of it is a much welcomed distraction helping my pain & mood (what you physicians would call :Guided Imagery). So thank you Mr. Sullivan for your videos & plans. My condition is degenerative & i've had some resent setbacks. My new reality is i will only have a few chances to build, hopefully before Christmas. i really wanted to include some turning projects. A lot of my tools will sit unused next year. But i can teach my Godson pool cue repair with the lathe & it can get used while i convalescence from upcoming tests & procedures. I really wanted to try & make your mini lathe, great video! However, time is not on my side & prices are crazy low right now so i have decided to buy one. I'd be ordering one from Amazon right now; but i have some questions. i know a mini Jet or Wen will be fine for me to learn to turn some handles or legs on. But i am unsure about a few features, & have some questions about possible "diy" or aftermarket add-ons etc. i follow a few turners on KZfaq, but having watched all of your "jig" builds, i think YOU are the person to ask my questions to. i do not see contact info on your website. I am hoping you have an email address or are on another forum or anyplace where i can ask you some detailed & sorta lengthy questions? This is already an embarrassingly LONG comment for youtube. Please let me know how i can contact you with lathe questions. Thank You, 🔧Lisa ♿ my email is: revswire@gmail.com

Thanks for this video.Very useful ideas.

Some clever and thoughtful suggestions! I will implement several of these tomorrow! Thanks from a new subscriber!

Great video Patrick, thanks.

Totally agree about the importance of accessibility for safety devices. I have five different kinds of push stick hanging above my tablesaw, easily reached without moving. I like the cabinet very much, it’s now on my list

Sir, perrsons like you, with this level of immense talent, and ability to explain things so calmly and clearly, have a major responsibility to create new generation of people like you. Sorry, you can't rest...you have to keep working hard to pass on the gift to otherd. BTW, I truly admire your sprinkled sense of humor, without watering down the safety issues..look forward to more of your videos...

Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

I just picked up a rather nice table + many accessories super cheap at an auction and was just starting to struggle with the sleds, This is great, I’m all fired up, many thanks.

Excellent info, thank you sir!

Love your videos, the only problem is there isn’t enough of them. Thanks as always

Excellent! Thanks for posting!

Hi Patrick, great video. I notice, though, that you have a Sawstop. I do too and I love it. You shouldn't, however, be using a blade with anti-kickback teeth. Sawstop are very clear about not using these blades because they may slow down the the safety function of the brake cartridge.

Thanks for this interesting video. You can limitate the forward movement of the sled with a belt, to avoid fingers to be exposed to the blade. Belt and suspenders! jp from France.

Great video. Would love to see plans on your little saw stop, it looks like a nice design.

Really enjoyed your video. Lots of good information and big focus on safety.

Great video, thanks for sharing your experience.

I really love the outstanding videos you make! They have helped me so much. Thank you, Dr. Sullivan!

Binging through your videos. These are all great!

Great video! Thanks Patrick!

Patrick, thank you for a great instructional video with tons of good advice.

Another well done video. Your style is fantastic, and always super informative.

Great video, Patrick. Thank you. Liked and subscribed. Looking forward to see more of your amazing ideas.

Thank you Parick for your video and so useful tips

hi Patrick, thanks for another great video. Great breakdown of step by step and sharing your experiences. my first attempt at a fence on my own was too flimsy and failed. Your knowledge and content is priceless for a novice like me. thank you!

A Good One Thanks Patrick.

Love the video! Good simple clean advice. Very practical!

Really great! Thank you for posting this. Makes my purchase decisions in the future much easier.

love sleds , especially on my small table saw 10" DW..something but Im using that rarely only when i cut thin rip cut or specialty cuts. since 80' im using track saw for formatting and European type forward facing rail sliding miter .... saw that dont take much space at all , I do tenons cutting old way on band saw .American style of Table saw is obsolete. If blade is placed on right edge of surface, sliding caridge can pass right beside make any cut absolutely precise and infinite variety , also eliminate army of accessories. There are small ones for price and size of Delta or SawStop ,( old Robland ,Minimax, or Rojek) much more effective and versatile, And not that big of footprint, and you also gaining 12" jointer/ planer and horizontal boring machine . never less You do amazing job with tons of insights . THX P

Great video, Pat - and happy father's day. I'm finally going to upgrade the crappy miter gauge that came with your Bosch table saw with an Incra. I also might add a front stabilizer to my crosscut sled as you discussed.

Definitely I am going to watch this later, I need a quite place for your vids. Thanks

Fantastic tips, man! Thank you very much! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Amazing video!! So much good information. I’m subscribed

Juat wanted to say thank you. 👍👌

Thank you. As usual, this is a very good video

1. IIWMI'D angle the miter gauge scabbard for less fumbly & unobstructed withdrawal 2. Can you explain the wood skirt under your SawStop? I haven't seen that before 3. Excellent well rounded coverage of the subject, I've been debating on the Incra & you sold me. All accuracy is in the work feed and the blade stability; the Incra minimizes work movement to near machine tolerances. Thanks

Well put together video

Another super video Patrick; always a pleasure to learn from a seasoned pro. I am still trying to source carbide to make the tools you posted. I like the look of your push stick perhaps you could do a video on that :-) Thanks once again for sharing

wow. amazing content

Thanks for this! We just got our first table saw for fathers day for my dad so is very helpful!

More great information

Great video 👍

I really like that design of flip stop for the sled. Do you have a video or plans for it?

Great video. What about making hold down handles that trigger lock the wood in place. For even smaller cuts.

Thank you. I am glad I subscribed. AU

Loved the video. During this video, I noticed that you have a Diablo blade installed in your table saw. Many of the, “premier” KZfaq woodworkers swear we should upgrade to better blades. Your videos discussing the myths of end grain and miter joints show that you have enough respect from the community to garner a calm discussion about controversial topics. Perhaps this is another you could tackle.

Suuuuper Video 👌👍👍👍

You are hilarious! Love your content.

WOW - 👍👍 suuuuper ideas ✌️✌️✌️ greeting from Germany

You got me at minute 1 😅

Hello! Very much enjoyed your video. I did like your storage solution for all your table saw gadgets. I wanted to ask, in your video here at time 4:05, I was wondering where you got the large black clamping knob? Kinda looks like a lightbulb. haha I would love to get one like that! Any chance you remember where you got it? Thank you!

Patrick, I really like your project...I am building the crosscut sled. Do you have plans for the flip stop.

Very well thought out design. I’m guessing you’re an engineer 👍.

@12:49 "while you still have fingers" LOLOLOL. It reminds me of working with fiber in networks. What's the one rule in working with single mode fiber? Don't look into the laser with your one remaining good eye. LOG again. Love your school of hard knocks lessons!

Really enjoy your videos. Curious to know how you cut the rebates for the sled runners. It's hard enough getting them accurate with just glue and screws, yet alone trying to cut rebates that perfectly match your saw.

Thanks for the video and passing along what experience has taught you. We have the same table saw and perhaps you can answer a question I have posted in numerous places and not received an answer. I noticed you took the legs off the extension table to accommodate a larger storage cabinet. Have you encountered any tipping problems or any other trouble we path having the legs removed? I move my saw about my garage from time to time. I have also arrived at the conclusion that, you pointed out, if the accessories are not within a step of my saw I tend to not use them and thereby potentially compromise safety and/ or precision. I have the incra sleds (the small one I bought and the larger was gifted to me by woodworker who didn’t want to use it any longer). However, both have limitations. I like the sled you presented in the video and plan to make one to do cuts on smaller board where the piece I want is at the short end of the board. Sorry for being long winded and thank you in advance for your responses.

In the plans of setting up my own shop. In Europe the american panel saw is, atleast in Norway, difficult to buy because alomst no one sells one. The common style for high end saws here are sliding table saw, like Felder, Hammer etc. I like the american style, its simple, but now I keep thinking; for the american style you need alot of jigs and accessories. And if you want to be safe a sawstop. With a sliding table saw the initial price is a bit higher, but you dont need any of those jigs and its safer than a saw stop, you are never close to the blade. Im beginning to think that a Europen slider with a short stroke is the way to go. What do you guys think about this?

Just a video for incra miter gauges.

I enjoyed your insight on crosscutting solutions. As I know you employ a common-sense approach to your work, I'd appreciate knowing your process for ensuring the fence is truly perpendicular to the blade. Also, I'm curious as to why you didn't go with aluminum/adjustable runners in the sled... you made a point of singing their praise in regards to the miter gauge.

Hi Patrick, do you have anymore details on your wooden base for you sawstop? I have the same saw and wheel system, but would like to elevate my saw 2” to match my other workbenches and level it. How easy is it to get the saw up onto the platform? How high is it? Any further insight on it?

Hi, very smart under-saw box, I think I'll copy it to you soon. in my sled I used a block full up to the cutting plane and I traced a line on the plane not to be exceeded to have a reference: the saw blade so visible outside the sled scares me a little: I'm so distracted that I could use the hardwood block as a handle to remove the jig from the table when the saw is still turning ... farewell fingers! TNX for sharing your tips!

Everything Patrick does is first class. In this project, why is the stabilizer not straight like the fence? It would be easier to make for those of us who don't have a bandsaw and who are dangerous with a jig saw. I assume every aspect of a project has a reason.

Hi patrick, great vid ! You like some sophisticated techniques in your Jigs! I see you have ordinairy Runners under your Sled, do you know that even Wooden Runners can be made Adjustable? They can function for maybe 20 Years in all moist conditions ,just readjust and you,re good to go again! So you make them only once! I made a vid about it, maybe you find it a good idea! I watch your vids with great pleasure, Greetings Piet Puck from Holland !!

one step rule -- my mom wants me to keep tools accepts a mountain of bikes from workbench lol

Aluminum table saw was awesome...I take it outside to cut on sunny days all the time. ...until magnetic featherboards, clamps, jigs came out....now Iron sounds much better.

14:58 made me so sad lol

12:43 Signatures from three-fingered administrators.

nice video, but I believe when making jigs/etc everything should be squared to the miter slot, not the saw blade. The blade should then also be squared to the miter slot.

Thankyou sir. But your spotless table saw is going to cause me a breakdown.

Can't imagine the bleak lives those 23 Philistines who downvoted this video lead.

It amusing to see you pointing a finger at John Heisz, who is notorious for over-thinking and over-complicating things. Even his pal, and fellow KZfaqr, Matthias Wandel often mocks him for it.

At 2:22 you show squaring the miter gauge fence to the blade. This is an inaccurate method as it carries any error in blade/miter slot alignment into your jig. The better, and actually easier, way is to simply square the miter gauge fence up the miter gauge bar. And if you think about, this is what you'd do for a miter gauge on a router table where you don't have a flat blade to align to.

wow cer
