cause I ain't learned yet LOL OK there I was trying to figure out how to square a glued up panel that should already be square. The panels are larger than my saws capacity so I decided I'll add 16 inches in front and on the back of the saw. (Waiting on parts) So that still doesn't handle length for sheet goods. Cross cut sled was the answer. I ordered a bunch of hardware and went to the local hardware store and bought 4 2X6X10s. What a mistake, first off its not as wide as I wanted so I improvised a bit, changed a few dimensions and poof off to the races I go. Did anyone mention white or scrub pine splinters and tears and is just awful to work with.
This is the first project I have tried traditional joinery. I did farely well with the M/T joints. I cut the tenions on a BS and used a bench top mortisner to get close and finished by hand, one had to be shimmed but the rest where ok. Tomorrow I'll try to finish the sled horse I started today. I get to play with a new Dado set and new P/C plunge router tomorrow.
Here is the sled I am building. Found it on FWW
