How to Make a Frame Sled

[@Silent-G]

Once again you have provided a simple solution for what some woodworkers over do. Great job!

[@MidwestManMountain]

Thanks Mark, that's the goal. I appreciate hearing that you agree!

[@BruceChastain]

I love sleds. They are especially good for me because my table saw is so sketchy, the sled is really the only way to make accurate cuts.

[@MidwestManMountain]

Yes, then you are exactly the woodworker who would benefit from sleds. Have fun making some!

[@emeraldgypsyheart]

Eureka!!! A new way to use Hubz's weights!!! Lol!!!

[@MidwestManMountain]

Yeah, it's surprising just how useful old weights are!

On my craft channel I will be doing my "hit or miss" DIY rolling, lucite or "invisible" chair... The chair has 4 legs so I will be creating a sturdy platform and affixing the chair to the platform. Should be interesting if not a DIY fail... Lol! I'll put a teaser trailer for that project here with links to my crafting channel which hasn't many vids on it at the moment.

Nice sled, great idea with the plywood, makes doing the angle much easier. I would probably have to add a taller guide though, I do a few thicker picture frames. I made one for the Craftsman saw and setting and getting that first angled stick right was a dog for me.

Thanks Jim! You'll be glad to know that I have successfully cut 2x4s with this jig to great success. Thick boards and thin boards alike both cut well on this jig.

Well Well Well now I guess that's added to my list. It will help me make better miters on the table saw.

[@MidwestManMountain]

Yes it will :) There's nothing quite like consistency.

Good job bro very nicely done my friend :)

[@MidwestManMountain]

Thanks TJ!

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

No problem my friend you don't have the plans bro :)

[@NotonlyWood]

I really like these Videos 👍 I just use my mitre saw for such a work 😂

[@MidwestManMountain]

Thanks buddy! Yeah, those compound mitre saws are great for this too.

[@NotonlyWood]

I've had my Ryobi 18v for over 15 years and it is still going strong.
