Kinda difficult to tell form the pics but did you make that with your Leigh jig?

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

The crosscut sled will more valuable than you realize even now. I’ve made several and they get constant use and are very accurate. You’ll love it.

yes, my Leigh jig for the dovetails…I used virtually every piece of equipment in my shop to make this little project…and that is exactly what I wanted to do…get some practice using my equipment. All my first projects will be that way until I build up a set of jigs and helps for my shop…my table saw needs a crosscut jig so I can make perfect cuts. And then on to a table saw finger joint jig…though I also have a Leigh accessory for that as well. One project at a time, Lee, just to get practice rather than use my best wood for the learning process.

Hi Barry,

This is a handy project. When I saw it posted I somehow I knew that you would work the Leigh jig into the build. You did a good job here and your practice is paying dividends. By the way I think you are being too harsh on yourself. We, as woodworkers, tend to focus on our flaws rather than our successes.

Nice post.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Cross cut sleds are very nice, I agree with GMoney. Great little hold me over project, as I call them. Something to keep you at work lol

That’s a smart looking shop jig, and you get to use so many tools making it – nice job.

Very handy item.

Making shop stuff is the best way to practice with your tools.

Barry, Nice work…I kind of like it because its not’s perfect. I’d certainly grade it higher than you did. Thanks for sharing.

Very handy jig. I made one too, use it a lot. mike

Barry, nice job for the first project. I find that woodworking is not so much a learning curve as it is an evolution and melding of acquired skills. It’s not so much how the first project went as it is how the current project is going.
