@MelbourneMaker quick and easy. I found similar metal being tossed out. I turned them into a similar system for my circular saw. A tip for you...slip a washer in between the screw head and the slot for a longer lasting jig. The screws you used will pull through eventually, potentially when you're working on a project.

Cheers! Great tip with the washers, no idea why I didn't even think of it.

Thanks mate, yeh it runs much easier than a wooden sled and you don't need a collet extension for the router bit. Plus always good to use up the scraps lying around.

I also subscribed because I needed something exactly like this for my router when I make dado's joints for my bookcases.

Could you also make a jig for a hand saw? As I have problem with cutting a line on a board e.g. MDF or Plywood
@MelbourneMaker7 ай бұрын
I am actually terrible with hand tools. So I feel your pain. I have seen people clamp a straight board to a piece of MDF and use that as a cut guide for a hand saw. Can't say I've actually tried it though would assume it works well enough

Hi David Good to see another AU maker on KZbin! Just found your channel, obviously it was hiding somewhere! Great sled design and video and based and what I saw today I've subscribed and will have a look at some more of your content. Regards James One Handed Maker - Australia

Thanks for your video. Can you tell me what are your fancy saw horses that you use?
@MelbourneMaker7 ай бұрын
Of course! They are Toughbuilt 7700. If your from Australia you can get them from the big green shed. They are a bit pricey if I'm honest, but can hold a TON of weight! I had to get something super heavy duty for a big concrete bench top I was pouring. The slide out side rail holders are perfect for a 2x4 to act as a support so were perfect to hold the weight of the formwork, rio and concrete.

I’ve never seen an all metric tape measure before. Makes me feel uncomfortable. Side note: next project should be creating a wood vice for your table. Couple scary moments there my friend.

No freedom units here ;) Yes the slab you saw me flattening will be the top for my new workbench made from pallet wood. Its... very slowly coming together. I have a relatively cheap face vice for it already that I will put on first up. Will be a long video on it when its all finished.
