One thing to point out in the video - You get your hands fairly close to the blade. You may want to stress the use of push sticks and blocks a little more when using the table saw.
What you do for a job is different when you are instructing others. The 3" rule is a good model - body parts do not get within 3" of any moving blade
Since I am gone away traveling because of my day job I wanted to find a way to still share and contribute to the woodworking community while gone. I have started a new series on Woodshop Confessions which will be called the "Away from the shop" series. Here I am giving a brief overview of my multi-purpose table. I hope you enjoy and please like, comment, subscribe, and share!
Here is the video where I built a cross cut sled for my table saw. Hope this is helpful and feel free to leave a comment. If you enjoy it or find it useful please like, comment, subscribe, and share.
Nice job and video (lots of editing!) I would suggest one tiny addition that I made to my sled of similar design. I put two small blocks on the back fence on either side of the exit kerf to remind me to keep my thumbs out of the blade path. I found myself sometimes focused on the inside of the sled and holding small pieces closer to the center. Several times I'm sure they've saved me from a trip to the emergency room. After all, the whole purpose of the sled is to make it safer to cut.
Just wanted to give everyone an update on woodshop confessions. I am trying to do some upgrades to provide hopefully a better product on my channel. Please check out my kickstarter campaign and I would appreciate your support even if it is just by way of sharing. If you haven't seen Woodshop Confessions I encourage you to check it out. It is a new YouTube channel devoted to sharing within the woodworking community and a little education, inspiration, and entertainment.
As some of you may know I have been using a Shapeoko 2 CNC in my woodshop for a while now to help with some of my commission projects. Inventables have since released their new CNC mill, the X-Carve! Here is a video where I shop the upgrade of the Shapeoko 2 to the X-Carve. Thanks for watching!
Here I show how I upgraded my Grizzly G0654 6" Jointer with the H7653 Indexable Insert Spiral Cutterhead and do a little needed maintenance to the bed of my jointer.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing this. Is it safe to assume you love the upgrade and wish you had done this a long time ago. I have a Grizz 8 inch and was stupid for not getting it with the spiral cutter.
Hey guys and gals! I just posted another video on my channel. Its a quick shop update and wanted to pass on a couple announcements to include a giveaway. You can watch it here!
I have been getting quite a few requests to do an updated shop tour and talk a little about my shop layout and organization and dust collection. You can watch the shop tour here at
Thnx for the tour. Work/Play safe. Keep that dust collector fed
