I’m making a video series that cronicles my experience while building an Arts and Crafts style pool table. You can view the first three parts of the video on my web site. I welcome any and all constructive feedback. For those of you that haven’t seen my mortising setup, you’ll want to check out part 3 in the video series that showcases my foot-activated motorized router lift. The videos can bee seen by clicking on the Videos link from my homepage at: Thanks, -- John Nixon - Buffalo, NY - http://www.EagleLakeWoodworking.com |

As I see it, the accuracy of the sled and laser scale all depends on the dado for the slider. It has to be absolutely parallel to the miter slot. Or am I missing something. Nice video. -- Keeping my fingers attached so I can stroke my wife's hair and hold my daughter's hand |

Sorry, I was captivated by the Universal Table Saw sled. -- Keeping my fingers attached so I can stroke my wife's hair and hold my daughter's hand |

Hi amfmnsam, The universal table saw jig is very nice. I didn’t think I’d use it or like it as much as I do. I agree with yout statement about the accuracy of the dado position. Actually, I was trying to think of a reasonable explantion to contradict that, and I can’t. So I must agree! I can tell you this, the table is very accurate (so I must have got lucky). I used it to miter the pieces on my Mission Lamp shade, and the angles were dead on. The jig is very versatile. Thanks for checking out my stuff.

To make my cross for our pew banner, I ended up making a crosscut sled for my tablesaw. I spent WAY too much time adjusting the fence to get it square, using the 5 cut test to check. I lost count, but am comfortable saying it was about 8 attempts. So I am sensitive to jigs that just happen to end up “suare”. It was probably just my day to be tested, but I never take square for granted anymore. Frank -- Keeping my fingers attached so I can stroke my wife's hair and hold my daughter's hand |

Enjoyed the video on the table legs and now very interested in the techniques you demonstrate with the router, etc. -- John |

There was a good article in FWW a few years back on this subject. -- I've got a bandsaw in my kitchen... |
