Rockler sent me the t-tracks and clamps to use for this sled, even so, all opinions are my own.

[@markstephens8127]

Those examples you did for the last third of the video are absolute gold!

[@briturner11]

as a soon-to-be father, its super encouraging to see that you still have time in your shop while being a parent. gives me hope that my tools wont get too dusty after my son is born.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Ha! When they’re little it’s easy bc they nap! When they get older they looooove to use the vacuum. I don’t complain 😂

[@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.

[@peterschunk7810]

I very much like showing your videos to my daughters. I want to show them that they can work with tools if they are so inclined. If they choose to learn how to use tools and enjoy it, I hope to spend more time with them!

[@reyna683]

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]

balls. if you cant inspire your children yourself. suck

[@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!

[@dscritter614]

I love it when u show your mistakes. It's silly, but it makes me feel better. My favorite stupid thing 2 do is 4get 2 lock down my fence. I go really nuts when I do that. You're so awesome! Engineers mind with an artist's soul. U go girl!

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]

[@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!

[@derekw40]

Your cuts are not horrible. You do a great job. And, your human we all make mistakes as often if not more often than you do. I appreciate that you leave your mistakes in the video. This makes you a more relatable individual.

[@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

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 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. Thanks you very much for the video! I am subscribing!

[@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.

[@talegunner115]

helpful hint here. Use salt sprinkled on the glue to prevent pieces sliding around.

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.

Small tip, and hopefully not a finger tip. Cut a couple of sticks or use some scrap, for a pokey stick, instead of pink digits... 😉😘 or its always better to wait for the blade to stop 10:55 Nice job on the sled.

I am the father of 3 daughters, all grown now, and all 3 of them are comfortable around power tools. My oldest just was given her father-in-law’s Milwaukee compound sliding miter saw when he moved into a condo because his two sons didn’t want it. She has redone all the trim work in their house. My middle daughter and her husband bought a fixer of a house and they did all the work themselves. My youngest helped me build a deck and a garden shed. She shingled the roof by herself.

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!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

That is so awesome to hear! Have fun using it for the rest of your projects!

[@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]

[@88rushrocks]

Kings fine woodworking is the first place I go to when I’m looking for a new project. And I believe this coming spring I will be using your design for a wood shop that I plan on building for my wood shop .

[@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

[@nskmda]

i guess, only 1 note... 10:05 never ever wear loose clothes (of any kind) when working with power equipment... :)

[@carlcox7332]

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.

[@user-it6jq1qu2t]

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks

[@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!

[@JamieReid1]

Careful of your fingers at 10:58!

[@FJD333]

Exactly. No point in using clamps if you don't wait for the blade to stop.

[@TheDesertRat31]

No doubt. Table saws (or any power tool) are unforgiving. Ask me how I know..... at least I still have all my fingers. They're just a little damaged.

[@Roderick_Legato]

I agree - I cringed a few times as she reached over the blade while it was still spinning. Got to form those good habits so they protect you when you're not thinking.

It's the way you have bootstrapped your way into the craft, and balanced, even incorporated, your family life into the making of these videos. Hoorah! I thing you deserve a SawStop.

[@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

Don't be so hard on yourself. Making mistakes, believe it or not, makes you more relatable to your audience. As a female woodworker, I tend to watch them first before heading to my other regular channels. Women bring more detail to some of the projects. Besides women, we are part of a small club and have to support each other. Hell, April Wilkerson started small and look at her now after 5 years she's hugely popular and it's not about looks that draw most of her viewers. She is a practical, detailed make who is a big hit with the endorsers. Those who don't seek out product sponsors do well too, but its always nice getting freebies too. Good luck kiddo!!

Mistakes are all part of the learning process!

[@michaeltuckerman6983]

I think that sled is brilliant

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! I have a newer sled video

[@kimmy_future4265]

I too have been looking at a lot of sled videos. I really like this sled. It is simple and easy to use. In 15 minutes you gave more information than others have in two videos. Great Job!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! I actually just put out a new sled video that has a few more features

[@bradutsuciu3252]

When a man makes this, its functional and effective. When a woman makes it, it's functional, effective, and also looks great and colorful. Congrats!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Ha! Thanks!

[@collagencollagen9599]

How happy I am when I see you do such activity and you are an artist and a singer

[@3x3CustomTamar]

😂😂 thanks

[@TheComputerman2004]

Great video. All of it was great but the best part was you making sure your daughter had her hearing protection on. Good job

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Ha! Thanks! She loves hanging out with me in the shop. But it’s hard for me to concentrate on the serious stuff when she’s around. Ha

[@WhiskeyTangoFoxtraught]

At least I’m not the only one who hate the jig saw!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

You’re def not alone there

[@kelner2331]

I loved it, especially the end! That sounded just like my girls when I do some work as well! 🤣🤣

[@3x3CustomTamar]

☺️☺️

[@JW-uj3we]

Appreciate your minimalist use of Dewalt table saw, a good choice for those who wood work as a hobby rather than a super expensive alternative, I am on my second one...used your video to build a crosscut box for mine. Thanks for making interesting videos...

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome!

[@thomasgibbons353]

[@nesleyheiney3111]

Very nice sled. My and my kids give the 👍🏻 for hearing protection time. So important to have the kids in the shop learning as much as they can. Thanks for sharing.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! Couldn’t agree more! I love that my kids see I have a passion for something. And I hope they can have the same feeling towards something one day.

[@ricardodelacruz877]

Now i have 4 favorite youtube diy girl channels on woodworking. I tell you why. Cuz this vid shows exactly what goes on in a home shop. Kids. Where is this and that. The why's. Keep us humble. You go girl. Thanks for sharing.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Those were the most perfect 90 deg cuts I've ever seen! ;-) No Problem. I really like this sled. "To err is human, to forgive divine." - Alexander Pope
