  • Is it perfect? No, but it's a good starting point and it gave me a chance to test a few key methods, including the pivot / fine adjust idea.

      Looks like it will be far better than any of the wobbly miter saws, great build.

      I think it's a great idea/prototype John! Love the innovation, keep it up

      I enjoyed hearing your talk on your web page too. I can see that you did plenty of thinking on the go. I also understand that sometimes this is a better way than trying to draw a plan from scratch. Well done and presented!

      Very talented man. Great to see someone who can use their hands and make fantastic thing's. Well done to you Sir. I love doing wood work. I've just started to build my own table saw after watching your videos. I've been making things out of wood for many years but never got round to having or building a table saw. Love your work. Top man 👍👍👍

    That integrated protractor is such a clever idea, and using the router as a compass is smart. I love the way watching your videos breaks me out of default woodworking thinking.

  • @9and7
    @9and7 Před 4 lety +17

    The reason why this channel is so good is because it shows that fabricaing, making etc. is a process and we're always shown that process. Ideas, concepts, iterations, attempts....mistakes...all important to get the thing right.
    Cheers and Thank You Legend

  • @rafvdp6391
    @rafvdp6391 Před 4 lety +6

    No need to explain why you are still nr. 1. I find this a fantastic idea with great potential and guess it Will get a lot of use. You can trow out the mitersaw and cabinet, LOL.
    On the article you say it's quickly put together and you could refine it , but even so you always make the ' throw together' projects crips and clean and it always looks professional , great and relaxing video to watch , well done !👌👍😉

    This project was SO different than most of your projects.
    Most of your projects are smart and simple.
    This one was smart, beautiful, extremely accurate, amazingly impressive.
    My tool selection today is more or less the same as yours, but your abilities are FAR superior than mine.

  • @solid_jr
    @solid_jr Před 4 lety

    Just when I think you cant possibly top your last project.. you top it. You have some brilliant ideas in this project. I have always thought that wood and metal workers are some of the most creative and adaptive thinkers and you're even at the head of the class in this group. I see some ideas here that could be used in shop built miter saw too : ) I''m going to continue my theory that you're working your way through the issues in order to build your own miter saw. (Or something else most people would figure couldn't be hand built). Genius man.

  • @joecnc3341

    Nice one John! Your followers have made some good positive comments, which are thoroughly deserved. You have obviously given your design plenty of thought, and it seems that you have a mind to make further improvements. By the way, I do like to hear you talk as you go, but this silent visual instruction works well too, because of your good camera technique. Thank you for sharing your great ideas and work.

    The offset stud on the Starboard insert is smart and novel thinking. Took me a few to figure out why then it came together. Always interesting John.....

  • @AsWoodTurns
    @AsWoodTurns Před 4 lety

    I like the whole concept. I can appreciate the rabbets on the sides to provide the lockdown. Too often on a particular commercial sled that I've used, the lock is a bolt that eventually pulls thru the MDF base. The tongue and the ply base should do a better job. I would think that maximizing the radius of the gauge markings could provide an additional degree of accuracy without any significant sacrifice.
    Thank you

    Having the pivot offset instead of over the miter slot is a clever innovation. Well done John.

  • @joelwatts9042
    @joelwatts9042 Před 4 lety +2

    Very cool, John. I like the calibration adjustment.

    • @SenselessUsername
      @SenselessUsername Před 4 lety +1

      I'm a bit worried as it introduces a new error, though it seems smaller: Adjusting the pivot point up or down along the fence to get it to read correctly for right angles, also moves the pivot point closer to or away from the fence. Assuming you started symmetrically, that towards/away movement is smaller than the up/down but it's not zero... the paper scale has to move the same amount towards the fence to remain correct!! E.g. if closer to the fence, what reads as "15degrees" is less than that; and the error is not linear. SO: An adjust mechanism (2-directions) should be on the scale not the pivot, or this (1D adjust on pivot) plus a towards/away adjust on the scale. I suspect the scale is easier.

    • @SenselessUsername
      @SenselessUsername Před 4 lety

      I had been thinking along the lines of an oversized axle-hole for the pivot, square-ish, making a hollow space along that axle/screw. Then correcting positioning in 2dim (up/down along and towards/away), and screwing it tight... which will not hold longer time. So I drill a diagonal channel to each of the four corners of the hollow space, and I forcibly inject resin/glue/... to fill the hollow and along the screw thread, fixing the calibration. [Should it loosen over time but whole concept works, then drill hollow & channel out again and repeat.]
