This Router Sled Works like a Dream! We're Having A Good Time!

Make This Router Sled! I needed to flatten some slabs of wood and built this router sled. It's great.

What a beautifully over-engineered sled. I'm definitely going to apply some of that to mine.

[@athecal6878]

Very refreshing to see excellent metal fabrication skills in a wood working video.

[@MrEd-kk7uj]

Masterful job. Brilliant!

[@tonylenge424]

Great project and solution. Thanks for sharing.

[@stijndekeyser5111]

a true craftsman which takes his time to make decent stuff, nice work!!!

[@joeheilm]

What a jig...wow. very impressive work, as always. Cheers

[@tomdale1313]

you're becoming a relaxed showman, txs for sharing

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Thanks Tom! I like that! Showman ✨

[@bigvicsworkshop]

Mr Jon your creativity, attention to details and craftsmanship are always a joy to watch. Videos are always cool.. looking forward to this series! Thanks!

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right On Vic!! 🙌☘️✨ I appreciate the kind comment!! Thank Ye Kindly and Watch your top knot!! 🐻

[@rawbacon]

Great setup, worked like a Charm!......Making all the custom rigs, jigs and tools was always some of the most fun things to do when I was in the steel fab business.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

It is great making your own tools!!

[@twizzian]

Good job , may the force be with you

[@bilalnkoana914]

I enjoyed your video. Entertaining and very informative at the same time. I love your humor. Bilal 🇿🇦

[@randallsemrau6911]

I used 3 x 3 angle for my table as well. I measure about 1/8" sag in the center. So much for 'flattening' my slabs.

[@vincentwesolowski459]

You are so right about the box stores putting some great hardware stores out of business. There were two hardware stores I used to patronize, one was a very modern what I would call a contractor supply store and the other was tucked inside a store front that went back forever. This store must have been at least 50 years old and this was back in the 60’s. Thanks for the info on the sled, I’m looking forward to the next video.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on Vincent! Yeah, I really enjoyed some of the old hardware stores I used to go to. Places where you got to know the owner and staff. Very helpful.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Great job Jon. Like the design. Sure worked great. I will be making one soon also. Thanks for sharing.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right On Randy! 🙌 Thanks! I hope you’ll be making a video on yours. I’ll be tuning in! 📺

[@rserraof]

Nice

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Jon! What a great rig! Those are some big slabs of Redwood.. That router bit looks nice, perfect for your application. It's always hard not to get checks and splits in the rounds, they are always drying. Wood always fights you! LOL Thanks!

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right On John! Thanks 🙌☘️✨ In an upcoming video I’ll show how I glue a wedge in where the split (check) was.

[@titol34]

Excellent work ans very useful video thanks a lot bro 🙂

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right On! 🙌 Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it!

[@traceyl.cumberland225]

Wow, that was awesome! You sure don't do anything half-ass. That sled was so "over-build" in a good way, because you'll be able to use it over and over again for years to come. Great job on the video production as well, it was like watching a "mini-movie".

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right On Tracy!! Thanks! Yes sometimes in editing I get really into the music!!

[@Terry.Bowyer]

Another great video Jon. Are you sure you aren’t a New Zealander? You epitomise the true Kiwi ‘no.8 wire’ mentality of ingenuity, creativity and practical problem solving. I’ll go put a hat on, just so I can take it off to you :-)

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right On Terry! 🙌✨ I had to look that up!! No. 8 wire!! That is very cool. I like that!

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Jon ☺ long time no see, I hope you and your's are keeping well , this was a great video, I especially liked the router table build, simple but effective,right on!, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of finish you achieve on those pieces being end grain , from the pile of blanks ,you've got a few hours work in front of you. Stay safe mate, best wishe's to all, Stuart Uk.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on Stewart! ☘️✨ Yes it takes a bit to sand down the end grain but it looks great. That video will be coming out soon. Always great to hear from you here! 👏

[@ScottHiland]

Looks great! I loved the sports training montage. I wonder if some dust stoppers/nylon strip brushes attached to the outside of your rails wouldn't help contain the sawdust and also let your vacuum build more negative pressure.

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right On Scott!! 🙌✨ Yes I think you are right! I am ordering some brush strips for my shop sliding doors. Perhaps I’ll order some extra!

[@rossandersen942]

Great job. I think you have shown us the best sled on KZbin. How did you feel the bit performed for you? It’s quite a beast.

[@aleblanc3547]

I wonder if an electric plane would have worked as well and maybe performed even better. No matter though, it’s still a smart idea. 😊. Oops just read chucks comment. He beat me to it. 😂

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right! That’s a good idea! 🙌✨

[@davidhenryhudson3102]

Where did you source the Redwood Slabs? Curious.

[@Jacknbox123456789]

After I buy all these metal working tools, it would come to be a $50,000 router planer.

[@setdown2]

That's some heavy duty stuff...looks like it works fine...im wondering if you could do the same thing but with a 3 or 4 inch electric power planer...???

[@RightOnJonCrane]

I did look up some pics of that online. That’s an interesting idea 💡 Right On Chuck!

[@SuperFrooty]

14:34 😂 Zamboni up in herre

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Ha!! Yes! 🏒 I’m an old hockey player!

[@wayupinya.]

What is that space helmet you have on?

[@TommySilvetti]

How do you avoid the lines along the cuts?

[@hosoiarchives4858]

How hard is it to sand out those marks

[@jdmccorful]

Really like your concept. You have probably thought of this but I will mention it could really add a different look by being able to rotate the goods 90 degrees and get a cross hatch pattern. Just a brain fart, elsewise think what you are doing is very cool. Thanks for the look!

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Thanks John!! Yes kind of like a baseball field! ⚾️ Thanks for watching!

[@randallsemrau6911]

You can do without all the material you carefully cut for inside the sled rails. To deal with the inside radius of the steel angle, simply radius the edges of router's steel base plate, and run teflon tape inside the rails. With the weight of that router and steel base, any lifting isn't going to occur by accident, its going to be intentional.

[@davidkay4174]

Push ups , that was funny , but you should have been at a mountain top with a right on flag

[@RightOnJonCrane]

Right on David!! I’ve got the push-ups going every day! Three times a day!! 🙌🙌🙌
