1 & 2. My table saw sled. Nothing fancy, but I’m really happy with it. I glued on a paper measuring tape from the local hardware store. I later added the movable stop block. I also replace the struts with a strip of clear plastic, since it was strong enough as it is and the plastic makes me feel a bit more secure. The plastic is also removable, so I can try to make box-joints someday.
3. Chisel rack to replace the box the were in before. I tend to use them a lot more now.
4, 5 & 6. My zero clearance scrollsaw insert plate. Comes in really handy when sawing prywood. A lot less tearout. I made it of some one-side laminated hardboard. Just saw the round shape; place it upside down, then use a chisel to make it the exact height it needs to be (picture 6). Not extremely durable, but I can make a new one in under 5 minutes.
And of course; safety 4th :-)

Those are some nice shop upgrades, in particular the CC sled. Looks like it is well built and many safety features, always a plus ! I use a CC sled much like Yours and it is one of the most used shop made fixtures in My shop. Once again nice work and stay safe !

@Gshepherd You are right about that. I recently found another chisel laying hidden somewhere. So I’m already one space short. :-)
Another lesson learned. On the other hand, I can just make a second one, and have 14 spaces left :-P

We’re the only ones that can make what we do in our “shops” easier through endless upgrades. Looks like you’re doing a fine job of it! Oh, when you’re done over there, how about coming over and give me a hand on mine?
