Simple firelog resaw sled

Nice resawn walnut. How do you attach log to sled?

Thanks gfadvm! I probably should have shown that, huh? I just put two screws in the ends of the log and c-clamp them to the fence. I plan to drill a couple 1/2 inch holes in the fence to press a dowel through. I figure I can tap the log through the holes, then hot glue a short length of dowel to hold it in place. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I see some spoons in their native form…. Great sled. Looks like you had a productive weekend.

Precisely Wayne! I needed this sled for the spoon stock. I saved my last 3/4” slab for it:)

I loves me some free walnut.
Good for you.

Walnut is my favorite wood. Now that is a productive weekend. :=)

Boy, oh boy, for some walnut! I’m almost out! What are you planning to make, Bertha?

Nice firewood!! ;-))

Great jig

I agree about burning walnut, fellas. I considered the pipe clamp rig but a couple of screws and two c-clamps was quicker. I’ve got a whole pile of the stuff and it looks like I can get 7 or 8 1/2” x 4-6” x 12” slabs from each. My crosscut sled is big enough that I can rip 12” slabs on it, so I’m piling up the square 1/2 inch slabs.

Sweet looking wood and jig. I really must be nice to harvest your own hardwood.

buring walnut – OMG!

Ha! It doesn’t work, August! I think the v-belt is too thick and too inflexible to start. I might try a thinner belt…but I’ll probably just end up motorizing it.

Al, you should give it a go. Pedal Power would be cool.
Thought about a Twist Link Belt solution?
