I made a Crosscut Sled You'll Actually Want to Use

[@christianhelms6676]

This dude either learned really fast, or he did a lot of research on making videos before he started uploading. You can tell when someone really put in the work to learn all the nuances of youtube and it's really showing here. Great job, man!

[@buildingwithbobby]

That’s high praise! Thank you so much! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@wittworks]

Corded makita track saw and centec hose for the win. ❤

[@buildingwithbobby]

I totally agree. It’s the PB&J of woodworking tools. Just meant to be!

[@SleeperHoundDesign]

The black laminate with Gold t-track looks sickkkk!! 😎

[@buildingwithbobby]

I totally agree with you. Super happy with how it all turned out.

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT design Bat Man. Just what you need and not all the baggage you don't! !! !!!

[@buildingwithbobby]

🤣😂 Thank you for that. The BatSled definitely fits my needs but maybe not someone else’s. However, it’s now an option others can consider if they decide to make one for themselves.

[@KlayJones]

Lincoln Street just shared your video. Great stuff! I love how your channel and shop is down to earth and real life! Very straightforward project walkthrough. I've seen a lot of crosscut sled vids and I love how you put your own unique spin on it!

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you Klay! We definitely had fun with this one and super happy with how this crosscut sled came out!

[@Tzeentch_swe]

On the back of the fence there should be an extra block to higlight where the blade will come thru :)

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thanks Rick! Defiantly something to consider.

[@GroundedFlyboy737]

Agreed, safety first!

[@Jkcreswell]

Just came up in my KZbin suggestions. That is a pretty sick crosscut sled! Looking forward to watching future builds! Subscribed!

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you! Pretty happy with how it turned out overall and more builds on the way.

[@scrappyoakswoodcraft]

Instantly subscribed. My 2 current obsessions are woodworking & TOTK. Cheers

[@buildingwithbobby]

YES. I literally just bought a second Switch so I could play when my boys had the other one.

[@billybike57]

Brand new viewer, great job!

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you and happy you enjoyed the video! 🙏🏻🙌🏻

[@drewj.1654]

Looks amazing, man. Subscribed and turned on notificiations. I like the other projects you have coming, but I'm really interested in your table saw and surround. I watched all your videos, and it looks like you have a Bosch jobsite saw? I'm probably going with a similar setup, but would love to see more about how you have your set up, with the custom fence system and all that. Just another video idea that I think will drive lots of views.

[@buildingwithbobby]

The tablesaw is actually an old craftsman 1.75 horse saw. The bench itself has been great to have but could be better. I will be building a new one sooner then later. The fence is a 2x2 metal tube as the rail and I welded a piece of angle iron to another 2x2 with piece of wood inside to mount the clamp to squeeze or tight. its pretty simple and has worked really well so far. It did take some fine tuning and minor adjustments to get it to work properly over the years. We will for sure think of how we can show the details on it in the future. Thanks

[@charlotte31415]

I don't really have any woodworking skills, but if I ever get around to acquiring some, I can only hope that I'll be able to build such a sleek and useful crosscut sled for myself! What a great video!

[@buildingwithbobby]

You can do it! We all start somewhere, but the secret is to just keep building :) Thank you for the compliment too!

[@charlotte31415]

@@buildingwithbobby I was at a thrift store the other day and found a couple books about building furniture from 2x4s that look like they have some beginner-friendly projects, so I might give one of those a try eventually. In the meantime, I've subscribed and look forward to learning more from your videos!

[@buildingwithbobby]

@@charlotte31415 Love it and I hope I can help as you continue on your journey!

[@JakeMooreOrLess]

Here from Lincoln Street… great content Bobby, hope you enjoy the rocketship ride that’s almost surely coming!

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thanks Jake! I've always wanted to go to space ;)

[@frankkirschner]

The only suggestion I might make is to use Microjig dovetail clamps instead of T-track. The money you save would cover the T-track in the rear fence. Great job on the sled and the video.

[@buildingwithbobby]

That's another way to go for sure and thank you!

[@genesiepka6519]

Nice man looks way better than the one i tried to make..😂 Can you share what is the blue T square you used?

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you and why not upgrade it! This is the same size as my T-Square but yellow. Hope this helps! amzn.to/3YyXe7S

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

This is definitely not your first youtube channel... Right? Im enjoying your editing process, its real smooth and professional

[@buildingwithbobby]

It is my first! Thanks for the kind words 🙌🏻

[@JasonGrissom]

Had NO interest in watching a video about another cross cut sled. BUT MAN! Your delivery was great! And that production quality! 👌 Should be fun watching your channel blow up! (in a good way) Subscribed!

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thanks so much, Jason. One video at a time right. Cheers!

[@UnbreakableIcePick]

Dude, VERY professional looking video. Transitions were super sharp, i liked the text on screen for humor, and camera angles were great. Lighting leaves a bit to be desired but after getting about half way through the video i was shocked to see how new the channel is. If this is where you're starting I'm stoked to see where you go. Keep it up!

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you so much! We're having some fun making these videos for sure and always looking to improve!

[@jimrosson6702]

Great job looks great

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you so much!

[@19woodworks]

Very nice video and really cool sled!

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you so much!

[@charlesenfield2192]

Lots of sled designs use T-track like this and laminate on the surface of a crosscut sled is more money to make a worse sled. It will reduce friction and I can't think of a scenario when slipping is helpful on a crosscut sled. I wouldn't normally comment to criticize, but I think this cooling looking sled may result in inexperienced woodworkers building this design instead of better ones.

[@buildingwithbobby]

Well if they are inexperienced woodworkers I'm not sure this is the build for them. Stay tuned for a simple cross cut sled build!

[@chrisstclair1024]

I feel like it needs a gold Trans-Am sticker !!! Maybe a Bandit sticker too

[@buildingwithbobby]

Stickers are cool!

[@Andrea-bw8xm]

Thanks for this. I have checked out many crosscut sled builds and i think i'm going to make your version. I like the laminate top and the hold downs. Entertaining video! Looking forward to more if your content.

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thanks Andrea! I might be biased but I have a feeling you're going to love using the sled. Tag me on IG @building_with_bobby when you finish the build. Would love to see how it turned out!

[@RatBasterd]

Nice work and a great video! Just need a utility belt to go with the bat sled...

[@buildingwithbobby]

Your username has me in stitches. Now I want to start wearing a utility belt. What would go inside the belt so I could I utilize it to its fullest potential?

[@RatBasterd]

@@buildingwithbobby grappling hooks are useful for woodworking, right? :)

[@buildingwithbobby]

​@@RatBasterd if you ever see me use a grappling hook, just know, its all thanks to you...and Batman for the inspiration.

[@edreusser4741]

I suspect you should spray activator on the opposing surface to get the glue to set.

[@buildingwithbobby]

I like it!

[@jacklawson3769]

I bought that same gold t track a few months ago. Classy stuff.

[@buildingwithbobby]

I totally agree with you, Jack. Classy and cool when you compliment them with a contrasting color such as black.

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

Love the intro short story! Captivating!.... keep it up bobby, bright future ahead for u

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thanks so much! Trying to have some fun with these videos. Appreciate the kind words 🙏🏻🙌🏻

[@Michael-Makes-Stuff]

Awesome build! Found you from Lincoln St. Woodworks. I’m glad I did - and now I’m subbed. Your projects and video production are so good! I’m looking forward to more. 👍🏼

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you PMichaels! We definitely try to have some fun with these videos and more in the works as we speak!

Thanks Jeff!

[@TwoCatsUp]

Way above my paygrade...

[@buildingwithbobby]

You can do it!!!

[@SamWanamaker1]

Why not include the method used to square it?

[@buildingwithbobby]

I will be discussing that for sure soon.

[@b3owu1f]

looks great.. but that wax.. holy crap $100 vs $10 for other stuff.. I musta got a bad link.

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you! The brand of paste wax I was using (SC Johnson) discontinued their paste wax so I think that's why its so expensive because its hard to find. $10 Paste Wax will work out just fine!

[@b3owu1f]

@@buildingwithbobby Good..cause that is what I bought haha. Howard citrus sealed paste wax.. hopefully it works.. and smells good too. :D

[@georgecooksey8661]

Well done. It’s a little large for me, though. Why do billionaires like black? See The Sound of Freedom to find out.

[@buildingwithbobby]

Thank you! That’s the beauty of wood is you can make it whatever size you want and it’s on my list of movies to see actually.

[@vibrationNC]

PLEASE MAKE ME ONE!!! I can assemble it.. ;-) I wiil love ya forever and send beer!!!
