I'm building a pool table

Thanks John. I’ll take a look.

John, you can even start the blog series here on LJ and embed the videos as well.. if you don’t mind sharing them outside your site.

Thanks Martin. That’s a great feature of this site! I think I will start a blog.

I received quite a warm welcome from other members. I like this site quite a bit…

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.

Sorry, I was captivated by the Universal Table Saw sled.

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.

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

There was a good article in FWW a few years back on this subject.
