    I like the idea of being able to replace the sensors that was a good idea



  2. Bryan Ballare on January 16, 2022 at 11:22 pm

    Can you sell these? I can make it but it would be so much easier to just buy one haha.



  3. D Sweetman on January 16, 2022 at 11:24 pm

    By far the coolest cross-cut sled I’ve seen yet. This is the one that I am going to build. Thanks for sharing. Great video.



  4. Wannabe A Maker on January 16, 2022 at 11:26 pm

    I need one of these!



  5. Ryan Monty on January 16, 2022 at 11:27 pm

    Glad I’m not the only one who uses playing cards as shims for everything lol



  6. Clyde Lewis on January 16, 2022 at 11:28 pm

    Do you have a link for the Katz Moses stop block?



  7. Secoba Airways on January 16, 2022 at 11:31 pm

    That was a "wild ride"? Man you need to get out more! 😀



  8. Charles King on January 16, 2022 at 11:34 pm

    They’re not plywood scraps…they’re plywood "remnants"…



  9. rick knapp on January 16, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    Very nice but I don’t think you will use the hold down



  10. Daniel Bedford on January 16, 2022 at 11:36 pm

    Lets not talk about your gat tattoos!



  11. Christian Fabricius on January 16, 2022 at 11:37 pm

    Hi…this is cool….but consider that most diy tablesaws only cut up to 54 / 60 mmm. So isn’t the construction of the sled a bit to thick . I mean. you lose important cut-height for your projects…



  12. Peter Bonifacio on January 16, 2022 at 11:38 pm

    Great video! I would make simpler without so many tracks!



  13. James Bicknell on January 16, 2022 at 11:39 pm

    I looked everywhere in my shop for those things and I didn’t find any except the JKM stop! Huh. Wellp, I’ll keep looking….



  14. Daniel Bedford on January 16, 2022 at 11:41 pm

    Why do you have a Mc Donalds beard and a Mickey Mouse hat, are you gay?



  15. Richard Phillips on January 16, 2022 at 11:41 pm

    Thanks

    Perhaps you never heard of the trick to test how square it is by taking say a 1 foot square piece, cut side 1, rotate, cut 2, rotate, cut 3, rotate, cut 4. Then check that last corner, where the error will be 4 times the degree to which it is out of square. No, you wouldn’t want to do that because it would show how the inaccuracy too well.
    Gotta say, this one was disappointing.



  17. Larry Guthrie on January 16, 2022 at 11:44 pm

    Not going to make a video, so will try to describe this. Those t-tracks on top of the sled is wrong. Turn the sled over and put them on the bottom in a dado like on the top or just use the dado without the t-rack. Then turn the sled back up and drill holes big enough the clamp bolt head will go through. Reason: When tightening the clamp with the t-tracks on top pulls up on the track. There is no downward pressure. This can tend to put the track up or break the track. By putting the track on the bottom and putting the clamp bolt through from the top there is downward pressure and no way to damage the t-track. The clamps can exert much more pressure this way. T-tracks are not meant to be used like we ordinarily do on a sled.

    Diablo Metal Demon blade cuts metal like Butta!



  19. Hermann Kerr on January 16, 2022 at 11:47 pm

    The fence still is not insanely square. see "5 Cuts to a "Perfect" Cross-Cut Sled".



  20. Jon Daiello on January 16, 2022 at 11:47 pm

    Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing. I just bought a new Delta table saw and want to build a sled for it soon. Watching you build it gave me lots of solid ideas. Also, how do you like that Hart equipment?



  21. Marty Byrd on January 16, 2022 at 11:48 pm

    Nice! I actually understood what you were doing and I might be able to actually build this. Looks super practical. Will you just remove the added panels when you want to make dado cuts?



  22. Aaron K on January 16, 2022 at 11:48 pm

    looks cool but it must weigh a ton!

    Can someone identify the countersink bit used?



  25. Zachary Lambson on January 16, 2022 at 11:53 pm

    Nice Lotr tune!



  26. T D3434 on January 16, 2022 at 11:54 pm

    You had really nice things laying around your shop



  27. Ed Reusser on January 16, 2022 at 11:55 pm

    I love this cross-cut sled! How much does it weigh?



  28. iaidoman on January 16, 2022 at 11:57 pm

    YOU DO MAKE ME LAUGH…



  29. Carl Atkins on January 16, 2022 at 11:57 pm

    Lol man great vid. Just came across this and checked it out. I love the teaching and the humor. I definitely subscribed. Be blessed



  30. Lewis Way on January 17, 2022 at 12:01 am

    Very nice. I plan to use 1/2 inch ply instead of 3/4 in order to gain 1/2 inch more blade high on my version. Thanks for the Idea and sharing.



  31. rhys marshall on January 17, 2022 at 12:03 am

    Not totally useless to add the glue to the back fence. The glue would have soaked into the cut edge of the back rail, thus strengthening it.



  32. Gilley on January 17, 2022 at 12:04 am

    Very nice… I wonder if I could use 1/2 inch plywood to make it a little lighter… Using 3/4 must make it weigh a ton.



  33. rustyfan89 on January 17, 2022 at 12:04 am

    Love your channel bro



  34. Mike L on January 17, 2022 at 12:05 am

    What have we come to? Spend money every month so we get a box of "stuff". Doesn’t matter what the "stuff" is, we just want more f’ing stuff. Instead of getting more "stuff" you don’t need or don’t even want, (seriously, if you needed it you would have already bought it. If you just want it, you’d already have it) give that monthly $45 to a local food bank, or St Jude’s Hospital, the Shriner’s hospitals, or any other useful charity. Unsubscribed.



  35. Dan Letkeman on January 17, 2022 at 12:05 am

    You should call this the sandwich sled. Layers everywhere.



  36. Larz on January 17, 2022 at 12:06 am

    Haha there is a level of comedy to using the track to further build the track 😄



  37. Tyler Smith on January 17, 2022 at 12:06 am

    My new favorite sled.



  38. Chiel van Diest on January 17, 2022 at 12:06 am

    Hi Jason, your video’s are so good, I love all the content, but sometimes your audio is really off. If you edit your video’s in FCPX, there is a simple solution for this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrOvUbHAoSU try this one!! You have such a good voice… I hope this will help thanx for all the good work,



  39. Leo Seltzer on January 17, 2022 at 12:07 am

    Do you have all the measurements for this build. Thanks



  40. Josef on January 17, 2022 at 12:07 am

    Your thumbnail should say insanely complicated.



  41. Kylie B on January 17, 2022 at 12:08 am

    Another great video – just a question – is the fancy higher piece you cut with your bandsaw meant to be closest to you? Im probably wrong, but i thought this was used to push the sled through the saw, keeping your fingers higher than the blade.



  42. Lionel Roy on January 17, 2022 at 12:09 am

    I know what I’ll be making. Awesome addition to my tools. Thanks



  43. Contessa Adella on January 17, 2022 at 12:10 am

    Mate….You need more clamps 😂
    23:40 “Built from crap laying around my shop” – Man if you can call 800 bucks of sheet Birch Ply ‘crap’ I dread to think what you regard as quality stock. That sled used close on $300 in materials, great and well made though it is. If I make one it will likely be from rain damaged, nail ridden pallet wood – even OSB is getting pricey huh! Nice shop you have there too…thanks for sharing.



  44. iaidoman on January 17, 2022 at 12:10 am

    you cannot find something after a year and a half…. FFS!!! LUCKY YOU. I have to retrace my steps going into a room, because I forgot what I was going in there for..



  45. Dan Luther on January 17, 2022 at 12:13 am

    "… and viola — we have a wonderfully functioning crosscut sled made entirely from crap I found layin’ around my shop."

    Fella, if that’s "the crap" you have laying around your shop, don’t show us the good stuff!



  46. Ed Reusser on January 17, 2022 at 12:15 am

    Can’t you sand the joint areas to make the glue stick?



  47. The Bob Loblaw Show ! on January 17, 2022 at 12:15 am

    Nice set up. 👍👍



  48. ET Peterson on January 17, 2022 at 12:17 am

    Hoover Chair…. Funny as hell …. Lol



  49. wojo1034 on January 17, 2022 at 12:17 am

    Very Cool, thank you!!



  50. Habu 71 on January 17, 2022 at 12:19 am

    I wish my real life shop was like the youtube shop you have where its magical and you tell me what we are building and there is magically gorgeous stocks of wood stacked and ready to go. lol. I dream man.
