[@rickmunn7356]

I really like the 45 degree and blade height mistakes. Your work is so amazing and it’s reassuring to to see you being human and honest. I guess there’s hope for me. Thanks for sharing your passion for woodworking. Your videos are very well done, entertaining and energetic. Some people just drone on and loose my interest. Keep up the good work.

[@stevenchavez5979]

CLAMPING TO A LEVEL! THATS FLIPPIN BRILLIANT. Gotta admit sometimes I get jealous at other people's good ideas.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Hahaha! I feel the same way sometimes! It ended up super straight, so I’m happy!

[@stevenchavez5979]

Here is my mind blowing idea. I save the foam brushes when I'm done with them. When the varish or paint is dry, i peel the foam away and the plastic support underneath is a perfect glue spreader.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

That’s a good one!

[@mrgerlach]

I think that would be really bad for the level....for some reason.

[@RustyCas999]

mrgerlach The level should be fine. It’s basically an I-beam, so strong in the plane she’s clamping to. If she was trying to actually straighten a warped board, now that would be bad.

Awesome! You just earned my subscription! As a father of three young daughters (10, 12 & 14) this a very inspiring video! Not only for myself, but for them as well. I have been watching different videos on cross-cut sleds for a few weeks now in hopes to build one of my own. I think I will bring my girls in on this one and let it be a team/family effort. Thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍👍

[@3x3CustomTamar]

These are my favorite comments (as opposed to the ones where the guys say it’s perversion for women to use tools....yeh, that happened). This is exactly why I make these videos. It’s important for our girls to know they can do whatever they want! Enjoy your build!

[@dustbustr91]

[@MD-en3zm]

King’s Fine Woodworking really makes it a family effort with his daughters. I really like that approach. Maybe when Tamar’s daughter is a bit older she can join in (and her sons too!)

[@mnbeardie]

As a father of 3 girls (9, 13, 15) I also support this video. I've built a couple of Xcut sleds and have never been happy with them. Your runners are a brilliant idea. Thank you!

[@COLDB33R]

I've watched a dozen or more videos on how to make a crosscut sled. Each one had one or two good ideas. This one has all of the best ideas in it, and a couple I hadn't seen yet. The extra t-tracks running parallel to the miter slots for clamping look really handy, and your obsession with making the front fence perfectly _straight_ as well as perfectly _square_ will mean better cuts every time for a long time. Thanks for making the extra effort to make this video.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@garynovak7977]

Your suggestion for clamping to a level is sheer genius. I just took my fence out of the clamps, squared it all up and that thing is FLAT. Thank you so much!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Ha. Awesome. Glad it worked for you!

[@richardhawkins2647]

Great build and explanation. One safety tip though. Don't use the push block until you see table behind the stock. I noticed a couple of times you had stock kick up when you used the push block before it was fully secure on the table. 1:40

[@richardhawkins2647]

Please don't take my word for it, here's someone explaining push stick safety kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXuwgX-MeL6oh9k

That you share your "mistakes" with the viewers is actually especially educational for me. Also, it's delightful to see your kids in the video!!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

[@JohnnieBravo1]

After building 3 sleds from plywood, and the front and back fences from 2X4 hardwoods, and having them eventually warp slightly throwing off the angles, I designed a new one. It is 3/4" MDF, and the fences are of 4" aluminum structural "U" beam. I also made it where I could adjust the front fence should the 5-cut method ever show it was creeping off at all (after 6 months, it is still spot on). I needed a very tight, and large (approx 12-14"), 45 degree protractor for accurate miters, and your video gave me that. Thank you!! I use my table saw to cut aluminum sheets/plates up to 1" thick (Diablo metal cutting blade, pulleys slowed way down), rough size up to 20" X 20" for making parts to be machined on my milling machine, so the accuracy HAS to be extreme. So making that 45 degree plate out of 3/4" lexan is my project this morning.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome

[@modustrial]

Really well explained - nice job! Great idea with the L shape to save weight. Only thing I might add is to rub a layer of paste wax on the bottom for even smoother sliding. Whenever I get around to making a new crosscut sled I'll be borrowing this design :)

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome! Borrow away! Yup! I finished the bottom with shellac and then paste wax.

[@dizzyraskolnikov1853]

So, made this today following the video’s awesome instructions... couldn’t be more pleased. Heartfelt thanks, I must have watched 20 or so “how to” videos”, yours was the most straight forward to follow, saved me about £200 and more importantly works an absolute treat!! The whole thing (mitre included) works great and nice that you gave a shout out to the amazing Big Willie Ng. The 5 cut method works a treat too, so don’t be put off by the mathematical shenanigans. If you need a sled - make this one as it’s perfect. Thanks so much 3x3!

I am so thrilled to see so many women have gotten into wood working. One of my best friends dad, had a major wood shop. He had 10 kid's, five of each. He taught all 10 kid's the craft of wood working. 3 of his girls have wood shop's of their own, along with 3 of the boy's. Two of the girls make truly unique thing's. I don't get to visit them anymore because of distance, but it was always a joy watching them create!! Love your videos!!

I love your channel and how you get things done with a contractor saw and minimal hand tools in a garage. I'm just starting to get into wood working myself with a 10in Hitachi c10rj table saw, a DeWalt dw705 miter saw and a amazon trim router. And mostly I just do stuff in my driveway on weekends under a huge live oak. It's nice to know I don't need a $100k worth of tools in a 800 SQ ft work shop to accomplish the same things.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Excellent work! I particularly like how you're unafraid to try something new. My only gripe is where you flicked a small piece of wood away from the spinning blade @11:00 in the video. If that little piece spins as you poke it away, even a slow-moving blade can catch it and launch it into the air or into your pretty face. Be safe!

[@BennyBumbacleet]

I THOUGHT THIS! She even said immediately after "I managed to safely cut.." yet my toes curled at the exact part she cleared the bits away 😭 Nevertheless I subscribed off this video alone having never seen this channel before 🔥

[@javelinexile]

great to see all your enthusiasm, makes my day. I made one of these today for the umpteenth time. You inspired me to put some toggle clamps on mine, so thank you. On the thumb protector block, I had a trick my dad sort of showed me. I had a big long story here I just deleted. basically, he left the wood very rough and painted it. this made it very uncomfortable to touch, like barbed wire, the raised grain would be like little thorns. If you did that on your little guard you would be conditioning yourself to never have your hands there, Not that you need it per se, just if your used to using a fence like that and visit a shop that doesn't have the little block on theirs then .. well it only takes a second. Also, your young ones are going to want to start woodworking themselves one day and lessons that don't have to be taught and are just muscle memory are best. I mostly do handwork but I've had so much repetitive and utility things to make I've brought all the machines out, seeing what people are doing to make the machines work for them is fun. Thanks

[@3x3CustomTamar]

I don’t know why I still watch table saw sled videos. I’ve seen about 50 of them, but I still watch. I’m always interested in the various mishmashes of other sled projects that people come up with. One day I will replace my sled that I built 17 years ago out of construction grade plywood, a 1x2 and 4x4, so I guess until that day comes I will continue to watch them. I thank you for letting people know who you got the various ideas from. I know William Ng doesn’t get nearly enough credit for the 5 cut method. Thanks for leaving in the kiddo interaction. That was a lot of fun seeing the struggles of actively momming while trying to make a video.

I just purchase a new table saw because the Ryobi one I had was basically a death trap! I had only used it a few times and I was starting to get the feeling it was going to send the blade flying at me at any moment. So I bought a DeWalt and turns out its the same one she uses. That makes me feel better knowing that I made the right choice. I am also going to make this sled for my table saw because it has the things I wanted. It has the 2 T-track rains inside to hold small pieces and a sturdy stop with a finder and measuring tape. I might end up using hardwood instead of the acrylic she used, as I have that already.

[@johnmutton799]

Nice to watch. Has the table saw got T track in the top? If it has extend the t bars past the far end of the sled to stop it tilting when pulled right back of the saw. Can you fix auxiliary fence to your flip stop? Two self tapping screws can do the job. You can extend the reach of the flip stop then.Rout a quarter circle in your sled then using bigger cutter make this into a place for t nuts to slide in add a fence then for adjustable angles. Make a quarter circle table to ride on the surface of your sled. Stick self lubricating tape to the base for ease of movement. Use one bolt for pivot point and one to slide in t groove. Put some wax to ease movement in t slot under the sled. Enjoy!

[@bernarddouthit4647]

Tamar - you are the best! This is such a great video. I know this video is almost 4 years old, but it reminds me of the SNL Hans & Franz skit - "listen to me now and believe me later" lol. I saw this video before I built my first crosscut sled, and like yours it gets the job done, but isn't exactly square and it doesn't have any miter bars in it so if I'm cutting something really small and flat I have to put my hand really close to the blade. I'm going to order all the parts today and get started. By the way Freud makes a great flat head blade that works great for Dado cuts. It's expensive - about $65 - but totally worth it.

[@aprildegele1510]

Brilliant. You are always so good at making things easy. Wel done you! Using this for the "all-in-one" sled I'm making.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Have fun!

[@ninoliberatore1491]

useing the level to keep it straight ,is a great idea , thanks for sharing

[@3x3CustomTamar]

It worked really well! Thanks!

[@cheeseheadfiddle]

You’re so cool. I love your work. I’ve been a carpenter/shop teacher etc. You’re a great teacher.

A really good source of material for runners is that plastic they make cutting boards from. $2 will get you about 6 of them at Goodwill. Find the largest one you can. Sometimes you get lucky. But that's the fun of going to a thrift shop.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

That’s a great tip

No noto ninguna diferencia entre tus manos y las de un hombre, en el manejo y destreza... ((( Ojalá más mujeres se sumen a trabajos creativos, tan hermosos como la madera ))) Muy Buen Video. *¡¡¡ BUEN TRABAJO !!!*

Thanks for sharing this (and sharing your mistakes make it real). I too had the problem of the rear fence not being straight and the melamine I made the base from made it bulky and heavy. I had to constantly scrape the oak runners and now it's sloppy in the grooves. I will definitely use this!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

I had the same issues with my old oak runners. Don’t have any issue with the HDPE!

Love your out takes and your kids questions

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Don’t apologize for being a mom. You are awesome and very talented.

Another great video, Thank You and Happy Mothers Day to you

Excellent! I’ll be making one of these. I have an incra miter and my 90..I mean 45’s 😅 are really close but I have a slight gap when I make a picture frame. It’s so close but not perfect. Also, squaring up chess board will be much safer. Thanks for making this video

[@ecaff9515]

Excellent video and process. I am working with a piece PC Decking that I used to make my runners for my jigs. I purchased a damaged board from Restore (Habitat) store. So far. The PVC Decking in not effected by moisture and it super easy to cut. Thank you for sharing.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

That seems like it would work really great!

[@srikaset]

Adorable woodworking mom and more. One thousand thanks for easy-to-follow insights made on this video.

[@leehaelters6182]

Succint! Wish I'd said that.

[@benranes5213]

[@3x3CustomTamar]

So awesome to hear! Thanks!

[@benranes5213]

@@3x3CustomTamar You really exude such positivity and playfulness through your videos. They're done and cleanly edited with both instruction and good entertainment in mind. Really good job with all that... Looking forward to tuning into future stuff! (and pretty much copying your cross cut sled 😄) Cheers--from a fellow lighthearted woodworker!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Ben Ranes thanks!

I love carpentry very much and I loved it more when I saw you
