Shop Made Jigs, Fixtures and Solutions #6: Shop Made T-track
I had an idea of how to make T-track on the cheap. I shot this video with my phone so it is not the best but you get the idea.

My name is David Berthelette. A pilot by profession but enjoy a long list of passions. Woodworking is truly near the top of that list. I also love to write and teach and share my experiences and knowledge with other artisans. While I was learning to fly, I was an electronic technician, a field in which my father is an expert. My knowledge and experience is limited but I still like to dabble in electronics as a hobby. I have put some of this knowledge to use in my shop. (See my Automatic Dust Collector Switch.)
I was born and raised in Massachusetts and will always consider it my first home. My teenage and young adult years were spent in the beautiful state of Maine where I developed a love for the outdoors spending hours in the woods hunting, hiking and enjoying the splendor of God's creation.
Flying for a living has given me opportunities to live in other parts of the country including Southwest Florida where I currently reside with the top of my passion list, my wife and three children.

What a great site and more importantly, a great community of people. I have been involved in many forums from motorcycles to computers and of course airlines and airplanes. Never have I had such a quick, warm welcome from so many.
Thank you all for your welcomes and your kind comments.
I can see why this site is so addictive. LOL
