Finally! Now I have another project to do😅
Earned a subscriber. You showed up in my algorithm. Nice bench
Thank you & welcome :)
@MelbourneMaker quick and easy. I found similar metal being tossed out. I turned them into a similar system for my circular saw.
A tip for you...slip a washer in between the screw head and the slot for a longer lasting jig. The screws you used will pull through eventually, potentially when you're working on a project.
Cheers! Great tip with the washers, no idea why I didn't even think of it.
Sled looks good as well.
Yeh its not pretty, but a nice easy solution
Nice and easy Dave, good one 👍
Thanks mate! Always appreciate a master dropping by ;)
Great sled. I love a good tool video. Low cost solution, I can see me making that in the near future.
Well done mate.
Thankyou sir!
Angle iron for the win. Great idea!
Thanks mate, yeh it runs much easier than a wooden sled and you don't need a collet extension for the router bit. Plus always good to use up the scraps lying around.
Nicely done 11/10!
Thanks mate
Great job thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I also subscribed because I needed something exactly like this for my router when I make dado's joints for my bookcases.
Cheers! Hopefully it helps :)
Nice sled! Take care & stay safe!
Thanks, will do!
Great video! I love your vibe.
Thanks mate! Not quite as good as your stuff yet, but gotta start somewhere ;)
@@MelbourneMaker Thanks for the compliment. You've done a lot better in your first two months than I did in mine though! 😆
Loved the video! c: Super simple, but seems really helpful! Keen to see what you make with it !
Thanks! Using it to make the top for my new workbench at the moment. Is coming along well
Thanks for your video. Can you tell me what are your fancy saw horses that you use?
Of course! They are Toughbuilt 7700. If your from Australia you can get them from the big green shed. They are a bit pricey if I'm honest, but can hold a TON of weight! I had to get something super heavy duty for a big concrete bench top I was pouring. The slide out side rail holders are perfect for a 2x4 to act as a support so were perfect to hold the weight of the formwork, rio and concrete.
@@MelbourneMaker Yeah from Aus. Thanks for that info. Cheers
Its good to see another Aussie on CZcams only come across you today subbed and it looks like i have a few videos to catch up on. Steve
Thanks mate, appreciate you taking the time!
Hi David
Good to see another AU maker on CZcams!
Just found your channel, obviously it was hiding somewhere!
Great sled design and video and based and what I saw today I've subscribed and will have a look at some more of your content.

Thanks James, appreciate the support! I'm no where near your level yet, but enjoying the journey. Ill start binging your content to get some inspiration.
Could you also make a jig for a hand saw? As I have problem with cutting a line on a board e.g. MDF or Plywood
I am actually terrible with hand tools. So I feel your pain. I have seen people clamp a straight board to a piece of MDF and use that as a cut guide for a hand saw. Can't say I've actually tried it though would assume it works well enough
@@MelbourneMaker I did that 2 years ago but I have weak hands thus my hand saw drift off to the right.
🙏❤️
I made a janky simple temporary sled several years ago that's much less nice than this... I'm still using it 😅 Not all jigs need to be masterpieces
Yeh, I normally tend to over do things 😓 But not this time 😄
Nah, it's not the safe way to do it but it is the Australian way to do it.
Hahaha! Exactly!
I’ve never seen an all metric tape measure before. Makes me feel uncomfortable.
Side note: next project should be creating a wood vice for your table. Couple scary moments there my friend.
No freedom units here ;) Yes the slab you saw me flattening will be the top for my new workbench made from pallet wood. Its... very slowly coming together. I have a relatively cheap face vice for it already that I will put on first up. Will be a long video on it when its all finished.
