In any archive of human knowledge, this man's entire video catalog deserves to be preserved above most anything else on KZfaq or news article.

I don't even work with wood, much less own a saw, and I still really enjoy watching this channel because this sir has an extraordinary knack for explaining things.

Undoughtably this is the most comprehensive saw sled build video I’ve seen. Your presentation is as precise as your finished product. I’m not aware of another saw sled video that includes a good storage idea like your sled cart/caddy! That is a great option because it will take less floor space than wall space to store multiple sleds. Good ideas, great job. BTW, that was worth a good hammer twirl!

Been woodworking for 9 years young. Dunno how I only came across you these past few months having thought I’d seen everyone who is anyone on YT. Now you’re the first port of call daily! Thank you for your content and awesome instruction.

I’d just like to echo what a lot of people have said - your explanations are great, Nick. It’s almost like listening to someone tell a story and is possibly the best style on the internet. I think I’ve learnt a lot from this channel - not just about woodworking, but also about transferring knowledge and information, so thank you for that also.

Damn, this is probably the best table saw sled video on the platform right now! Definitely gonna do this ASAP to complement my existing sled. Thanks for putting out such a concise tutorial. Lots of ideas for me to consider.

Terrific content, production quality, and clearly a knowledgeable teacher. Well done 🙏🏽

I really appreciate you including metic measurements! Great channel too!

I bought a cheap table saw at a garage sale. I made a double sided sled and made every cabinet in my house. Best tool I have had now over 10 years.

"Theres even a slot for your semi retired miter gauge " and that smirk was hilarious. Just came across this channel and wow, did I hit a goldmine of information. Thank you!

What a superb presentation! No "ums" nor "ahs" and no waffle. Just clear instructions and reasoning to make a superbly versatile sled - and in both metric and imperial too. I haven't enjoyed a KZfaq video so much for a very long time! Subscribed!

Detailed instructions on a magnificent saw sled delivered with comedic nuggets like, "it is not really that hard to make. It certainly easier than gluing your fingers back on".

He is soo good! Makes me wanna start making some jigs, stops & clamps!

I could desire to see Paris, climb a famous mountain, write a best selling novel... but no. One of my new life goals is to tour this man's workshop.

I’ve been a woodworker for 50 years, and I’ve never mastered the hammer spin. Glad that there’s mountains left to climb.

This is a great tutorial with some of the clearest explanations and best ideas I've seen in a while. Thank you!

I wish I had you instead of my shop teacher in high school. You explain things better, without condescending, without a better than you attitude. You seem like a fun guy to work with.

I appreciate the time, effort and consideration you put into this channel. 🙏

I am a joiner by trade for many years now and even at 60 years old I still like watching videos about joinery you never know what you can learn and I must admit I did learn a few things and I like to see other people’s workshops the only thing I will say is about your converting Imperial into metric it’s millimetres in metres not centimetres l must admit when l go out to buy things at the shop here in the uk 🇬🇧 they put centimetre’s and feet which then I have to convert l was lucky when I grew up with my dad who was a joiner as well he would work in feet & inches and I would work in millimetres in metres so I had to learn to convert them? But it has had it been useful thanks for your advice and videos stay safe 👍😊

Brilliant. Decades of wisdom packed for posterity. Thank you sir!

Love your use of both imperial and metric measurements. By far the best woodworking channel I’ve come across.

When I get my first table saw, I will revisit this! This isn’t the first video of yours I’ve seen. You have a great presentation and reminds me of some great teachers I was blessed to have in school years ago.

What an incredible video. Great job on explaining the process.

The single most helpful and universally applicable hint in this entire video might be the genius use of blue tape to keep screws from falling out. Bravo.

This definitively is the best tablesaw sled and the best explanation I have ever seen on KZfaq. And I have seen many. Thank you so much for sharing.

Congratulations to the presenter for possibly the best planned video I have seen. The substance is easily understood and the credibility is first class.

Best woodshop class EVER.

The best idea for the sled. Period. Thanks for showing that.

Another great video! One thing to add to UHMW, it's also "self lubricating" meaning you don't need any lubricants for preventing wear and you also don't need any lubricants in order to decrease friction between the mating surfaces. Also when tapping wood I always pour a good amount of CA into the threads and shoot some accelerator, then run the tap through again to clean up the threads, this will make the threads harder and won't strip so easily

Fantastic build tutorial for a great shop addition. ... also liked how you made proper use of the "blurring" tool near the end!!

I don’t own a table saw or even a shop. But enjoy watching and listening to this excellent teacher. Banking this knowledge for the day I will have a shop😊

Bought one book, now I am going for another.

Looks like I just found my new favorite KZfaq channel!!

Thanks for all the great tips Nick! Sleds are such an asset for a table saw.

I have watched literally hundreds of frigging sled vids... not one comes close to your quality and versatility, and bugger me if that adjustable little fractions-of-a-mm screw-thingamajig thingy isn't the best I have seen so far! great video... no... GREAT VIDEO!

The KZfaq algorithm was kind enough to serve this up to me today. Couldn't ask for more: a project I need to do presented by a master who speaks clearly and with words us mere mortals can understand. Well done Nick!

Thank you Nick. As always, the perfect blend of knowledge, humor, and safety.

Brilliantly explained

Amazing work!

This is great! I just made a basic crosscut sled, and now I'm already planning it's upgrade / replacement... Thanks for the great tips and advice. Very logical and organized presentation. No wasted time...

What a clever sled.

Sir you are an excellent instructor! I could listen to you talk about tools all day lol.... Nice job my friend!

The only WW I've seen using transfer punches, awesome job! great tutorial. Appreciate you not trying to sell me a bunch of product.

Love your videos. Smart, informative and entertaining. I always learn something from your videos.

This guy was incredible. I learned more every minute than I did from almost every other video I've watched of "woodworking" KZfaqrs. Keep up the good work. And make more videos please

This man is an EXCELLENT TEACHER. In another life he must have been a school teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed watching, and learning from, this video. As the late, great, Paul Harvey was fond of saying, LEAD ON, Nick.

I appreciate all the hard work you have put in to make this video. I could only imagine how detailed a woodworker you would be when you made such a detailed video for a sled that people think should be a 3 minute job. Excellent work mate!!

Without a doubt the best sled how-to that I've seen. Details, all the little details missing from other videos. Correct names for the fasteners as well as the reasons each was used. On top of all that, metrics as well. Even if you don't live in that part of the world. Excellent work.

Very well done. I have watched quite a few YT presenters sled designs, this one provides better explanations than most. I especially like the gunslinger hammer gimmick.

I'm delighted to have just found your channel. Eloquent, concise information presented with enthusiastic clarity. Even better, no dreadful library music or gimmicks. I'm a relative beginner and look forward to watching all your vids. Thank you very much for making the effort. Cheers from the UK.

I'm a couple of months away from setting up a small shop, and I'm definitely buying all of Nick's plans.

Like a patient teacher, beautiful presentation. Thank you so much!

I'm very new to wood working and have found your tutorials both in depth and calming you make it look like this is something I could quite easily achieve (in theory) testament to your skill as a tutor many thanks Tricia.

I have a couple of your books that I cut years ago, but the humorous asides in your videos are just great. As with your books, the videos are thorough and detailed. Thanks much

Terrific table saw sled build Nick! Great presentation & instruction as usual. Well done! 👍👏😉

What a man! Amazing presentation!

Excellent presentation , thorough and modest at the same time. Adding dimensions in metric is a great touch, much appreciated. Keep it up !

I appreciate your time and effort making these videos. You are a terrific teacher and I enjoy your presentation style! Thank you.

Best sled vid on KZfaq! Bravo, Sir! Bravo! It’s rare for me to watch a video then immediately watch it again, but that’s exactly what I’m about to do.

The best way to learn is to teach and this man has obviously been teaching for many years, That and he just made me feel like an idiot for buying a high end miter fence :-). Anyway great video and thank you sir.

Loved the content, the delivery, and that damn hammer swing. My goodness

By and far the most comprehensive and useful sled video I have seen. I am disappointed I finally made the leap to build a sled last week only to find your video this morning…looks like I am making another sled!

I love your videos and your style of teaching. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce and share this video with us.

Excellent tutorial, very informative and concise. Clearly a professional at what you do. Thank you, sir!

to the point , simple and clear , comprehensive explantions . one the best videos .

I love your conversions between metric and the other measure. Your "matter of fact" explanations inspire confidence. Thanks!

All i can say is wow i am so building this. Great video well presented and explained and love the way its converted to metric as well for us Aussies which not many people seem to do.

Excellent! I've watched and read so much on table saw sleds and, as others have commented, your video covers small details on design and construction of any table saw sled that others omit or gloss over..

Nick and his videos are always so amazing. The projects, and all the tips and tricks make you watch each video more than once, to make sure you get all the details. As they are all so useful, and can (and for us newbies surely WILL) save us from a lot of headaches and failed projects if we listen and do what Nick tells us. ❤ I (also) didn't know about threads (19:10). It will (also) make it so much easier for me in the future, and thank you VERY MUCH much for adding the metric measures. 👍 This sled will be one of my first projects when it gets a little warmer, and I can get back in my tiny and unheated workshop"! Tried to warm it up with a gas stove, and it worked, but it was like a sauna (very hot, very high humidity) and the wood didn't like it at all! And using an electric heater now our electric bills are about 30-50 percent higher in my country, is something my tiny budget simply refuses!! Especially if I want to use my power tools and not only hand tools... This would be stupid, as I've just ordered my very first bandsaw (not a cheap one!), to be able to make a coffee table with 4 different curved legs, like the one Nick made in a previous video that (also) inspired me so much! 👍 Stay safe, creative, and active, and let's make some sawdust ❤

I've been an educator for 35 years ... my God, you're good.

Such a pleasant way to spend half an hour, watching these video lessons is awesome, love the wild west hammer at the end lol!

Thanks a lot for imparting such a useful knowledge based on lengthy experience. Lots of love and respect from Pakistan.🇵🇰

Are you certain you were thorough enough? I now understand a little more than I did before. That’s great.

This guy is the “Rainman” of woodworking. He throws out knowledge bombs like Raymond counted cards.

Thanks for the thorough and comprehensive video, Nick!! My ultimate goal is to be able to cut segments to make segmented bowl blanks. So will be making a sled as well as experimenting using an bevel angle for the miter saw and see what I perceive as easier. I will also be purchasing your pdf for scrap wood rolling pins.

What a fantastic way to build sleds and jigs! Thank you for sharing this! My last two sleds I built ended up being disappointments, so I'm really looking forward to building one this way.

This is the best sled build I have seen. Thanks so much for sharing.

Actually there are so many good woodworking techniques and tips in only one video. It's amazing. Understandable and clear information. This guy is a true teacher. I also appreciate giving the information both in imperial and metric.

I'm amazed at how well you explain things in each of your videos. I've re-watched your finish comparison and this video many times. This particular saw sled design was the basis for my sled and I love it. Only changes I made were 1 - used a roughly triangular sheet 42" x 36" (triangle shape to cut down on weight) I can safely cross cut larger pieces when I'm in the field using my small contractor saw 2 - I took your 90 degree stop idea to a new level, routed key holes and matching dowel holes in the sled deck at the more common angles. I can now change between a 22.5, 45, 90 etc degree cut faster than I can with my mitre saw 3 - glued a piece of galvanized steel to the back of the fence to prevent the stops adjustment bolt from digging into the wood over time

Every word precise and clear, it was a pleasure to see this tutorial. You are undoubtedly a master of your profession Thank you

This is another awesome resource. I just purchased the plans, well worth it and it supports this great content.

Watching you teach me about sled build ideas makes me wish I would have been a better student in high school, you remind me of a woodshop shop teacher. Well done sir.

Nice set up with your on/off swirch!

You always deliver on clear steps to put together the best content. Keep up the great work.

A great class, with a great teacher. You keep the attention of your subscribers rivited on the lesson at hand. Couldn't ask for a better instructor

This must be the best detailed saw sled video on KZfaq. It’s absolutely amazing.

Hi, Alex from Costa Rica again. I'm advancing on my cutting table and this whole video is like gold to me. Thank you very much for sharing your time and knowledge with us Sir!

I'm truly impressed, you are an excellent teacher.

Hi Nick, I have just come across Your channel and I have to admit, that You and Stumpy Nubs are my favorite teachers now, followed closely by 3x3 Tamar. People like You have a special gift. Thank You so much for that. kind regards from Germany

Brilliant!

I have watched many sled videos on KZfaq and built 2 of my own. But your methods beat most others I have seen. I have a large capacity sled which is really heavy to manhandle especially with the arthritis in my fingers, so I will make your adjustable "half" sled next and make it smaller so it will be easier for me to cope with. Many thanks for sharing your approach. Excellent video!

Amazing stuff and instruction. You truly are an educator. Thank you.

Great video!

Well great! Just what I need. Another “must do” shop project 😎. Thanks for absolutely great concept and presentation.

You are really great. Thanks for being so clear and precise.

Very intimate and clear presentation. Great video. Thanks for sharing your learned experience.

As usual very detailed video. Even if one is not going to make a sled it is worth watching as Nick always have so many tricks to learn from. Thanks and keep the great work.

Brilliant video.!!! ...as per usual. Especially the use of the metric system. But !!, *millimeters* rather than centimetres is the best practice.

I found your channel less than a month ago and am so happy I did!

exceptional video.
