Crosscut Sled
Update 2/21/2009 - Check out the next generation of this sled. This sled has been good to me, but I find myself using Wood's universal tablesaw sled more and more lately. My sled has a 1/2 thick inch bottom that I made by laminating two pieces of hardboard. It was stuff I had laying a... [More]

Franken Saw
What do you get when you cross an old belt sander and a tablesaw - The 'FrankenSander'! I picked up this 50's belt sander from an older woman who had a basement full of tools from a husband who had passed. Around the same time, I garbage-picked a tablesaw from a guy a couple of houses down. Before putting it out for the trash, he cut the cord off the saw, left out a leg from the stand, and didn't include the arbor nut. So he obviously didn't want anyone to use it as a tablesaw after that. I can take a hint, so I decided to use it as a mount for my new horizontal belt sander. [More]

Laminate Press
I often laminate or veneer sheet goods. Not having the money for a vacuum setup, I created a Lamination Press that stows above my workbench and out of the way when not in use. The press has four cauls that suspend from the main beam, and can be configured every six inches (there is space for 10 cauls). [More]

Loose Tenon Joinery

MLCS Horizontal Router Table
The horizontal router table is my new favorite addition to the shop. The benefits of having a router in the horizontal position for some operations is unmatched! You can do some really cool routing operations in the horizontal position.



The 12 minute video shows how to make crown molding, trim molding, mortise and tenon joints, and raised panels - all using the MLCS horizontal router table. See the benefits of using a horizontal table when working with wide stock. The Horizontal Router Table makes auxiliary fences, multiple featherboards and jigs unnecessary.

Overarm Dust Collector
I have a Craftsman tablesaw that has a fence with t-track type grooves built in on both sides and the top. This allowed me to make a mount that slide right onto and secures to the fence itself. I originally made it as a temporary solution (I was going to make one that hung from the ceiling), but it's worked out so well, I kept it. [More]

Router Table Circle Cutting

Super Sled - Crosscut and Miter Sled
While comtemplating ways to improve on the design of my existing crosscut sled, I started to focus on the concept of combining this sled with the features of Wood Magazines Universal Tablesaw Jig. I spent a lot of time modeling the new Super Sled in Google Sketchup and I feel I have come up with one of the most versatile crosscut / mitering sleds around. When you see the video for the construction of the sled, I think you'll be surprised at how easy it is to build for yourself. [More]
