These sleds are designed to help the creation of jigumi (kumiko grids). In this video I'm using 1/2"x1/8" basswood which works great for kumiko. Most woods can work well here but softer woods are easier to work with.

Just ordered one of your new sleds. I ordered the plans a short time ago but when I saw everything that was going into it and the hassle of ordering the parts, it seems best to purchase it.

Good show Johnny. You really seem to have found a good niche and I am really enjoying your skills at work. I have purchased the sled plan a while back and really need to get out to the garage and get to work. Thanks for sharing your skills.

Like the sled designs, have you considered using Baltic birch?

Nice sleds, makes Kumiko so much easier. Over my price range i'm afraid, but loved the video! Well done.

Thanks Johny for this clear and concise video. Which blade are you using to have the best 1/8 kerf? Is it the same blade for the ripping the kumiko sticks? Thanks in advance

@JTWoodworks 6 ай бұрын

Thanks so much! I'm glad you found it helpful. I use different blades for those operations but they're both Forrest Woodworker II. The one for ripping strips is 30T thin kerf and the one for cutting joinery is 40T full kerf. They're expensive blades but they can be sharpened many times and I do a lot of this so I feel it's worth it for me. That being said though, any good quality blade should work fine. The most important thing is that it's sharp

@jnspeak6560 8 ай бұрын

Great video! Do you use any kind of finish on your kumiko projects?

@JTWoodworks 8 ай бұрын

Sometimes the projects are behind glass so a finish isn't needed. If you have a high quality planed finished on your strips, it's also not needed. I'll occasionally use spray lacquer depending on the project

Hello very cleam and beautiful work just one question where can one purchase these ready ?

@JTWoodworks 4 ай бұрын

Thank you! I have a newer version that has both sled features in one sled. The product page for purchase and the video about the sled are in the top of the description

@ryanlafond9488 6 ай бұрын

I see that you have plans for the older sled. Will you be coming out with plans for this new sled?

@JTWoodworks 6 ай бұрын

This sled is being sold as a completed product. There won't be any plans for this version

@JohnPublik 2 ай бұрын

Why is the sled shipped with the runner on the wrong side? Why switch sides?

@JTWoodworks 2 ай бұрын

There is a new version of the sleds and the runner on the right side is adjustable. The runners on the sleds in this video aren't. The sleds basically function the same way. Also, the new sled is both of the sleds in this video combined into one sled. There's a video out on the V2 sled design if you want to check it out

@DarthVader11072 5 ай бұрын

I see on your website you will bring out a new Version very soon. Could you do a metric version with 4 mm instead of the 1/8 inch? And in general a Metric Version with Torx Screws or Würth or Spax Screws? And Metric screws where they are in use with that thread.

@JTWoodworks 5 ай бұрын

The registration keys are pretty easy to replace. They are held with two screws and you can make any custom size you need. As for using metric screws, I'm not entirely certain if there's a significant impact on functionality. It seems like a solid system as it is, but I'd be curious to hear your thoughts!

@DarthVader11072 5 ай бұрын

@@JTWoodworks I have to say the Metric System IS just better than the imperial System. That is a fact!

I'm surprised you couldn't find away to get all three angles on one sled. My shop is tiny and two more sleds & 3 trimming jigs!... yikes 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫. 💖🌞🌵😷

It's currently in the works...

@vizBarry Ай бұрын

What are the dimensions of the assembled sled? I'm thinking of using it on a Macro-Mark table saw 9" x 11 1/2" with 1/4" miter slots.

@JTWoodworks Ай бұрын

Since the release of this video I've released a new version of the sled. The dimensions are 14.5" x 15.5". You can check out the new sled here jtwood.works/products/v2-kumiko-table-saw-sledand I'm unfamiliar with that saw so I'm not sure about compatibility. You'll need to swap the runner for something that would fit your saw though. Feel free to email me if you have further questions

@dangerbear9333 Ай бұрын

Just received my v2 sled and realized that my current blade is too thin to clear the registration key. What thickness blade are you using? Can I simply make a new key to match my thin kerf blade?

@JTWoodworks Ай бұрын

The key is designed to be used with an 1/8" blade but you can definitely make your own for the blade size you have. If you go that route, make sure the strips you se are that same thickness
