That's beautiful!

Cute little fella and the cutting is great!

I'm a hoarder of patterns. When I first started scrolling a couple of years ago or so I downloaded everything I saw. I think I spent more on printer ink than wood. I have thre huge D-ring binders full plus a stack of patterns. I have since been pretty selective. I can be pretty sure of patterns I won't cut. The other day I started going through my patterns to sort them according to type. Portraits, word art, animals etc. A daunting task which I've barely made a dent. You are not alone.

Thanks John. I just ordered them. Wish I had known before. Would have saved me some time and aggravation. The price is only good until the 31st. You notified me just in time!

Nice work. Perhaps that is why your marriage lasted so long.
-
WOW! That's precious.

It would be nice to have room for a high end table saw plus room to finish and assemble. Since I don't I usually take whatever short cut works. I did finish my sled and it is quite accurate. Messing around making slot rails is time consuming and unproductive for me.

That device is worth looking into. Years ago when my art department did mechanical paste ups I had waxing machines.

Keep on ranting. Interesting things always come about. I like the ruler ap too.

Thanks, but that's more than this old man can remember.

Awsome is right!

Grampa's pattern and your cutting have made an extra beautiful work!

Cutting boards are not 18" long. That is exactly what my runners are made of, a very similar material.

I just went to Home Depot this afternoon. I did see what I believe was 1-1/2 X 1-1/2" Poplar in short lengths. I did not have a tape measure and the item was not marked as to size.

Thank you for all the input. I don't have a moisture problem or a rust problem. I wanted to make a different sled because I wanted to make some changes and improvements. I was just wondering about opinions on plywood vs MDF. I perhaps did not make myself clear. I did make the new sled today. I used 1/2" plywood because the sled is only 18 X 18". My table saw is not large so this was the maximum I could use. The runners are like nylon or Delrin type material. The saw runners were ordered from Amazon. I would not do that again. The runners are specifically made for saw runners. However when I received the material it came in as a 6" piece. Unfortunately the material had a bow and it was difficult to keep it straight. I did use the material but the sled is not silky smooth but is usable. For all the frame making I'll do it is adequate. Since I can not create my own hard wood runners accurately I would go with commercial aluminum runners.

Will you have moisture problems near the ocean? I guess one could use marine plywood if it is available.

I recently made a frame cutting sled for my table saw. While it is fairly accurate there are some things I wish to change. I made it with 1/2" plywood. I'm wondering if I would I would be better off using MDF. It is less prone to change in damp weather although Colorado is basically dry. Downside, MDF is heavier and does not hold screws as well. Anyone have an opinion?

I'm sorry Barbara. These cannot be mined. I raised them from tiny little pebbles to get them to grow up to be rocks.
-
WOW! Looks great. I would not have enough room for that size table to assemble it on.
-
Good job, they look great and the painting does too.
-
I'm so sorry for your loss. The cross is beautiful and so appropriate.
-
I really like it. Beautiful cutting. The frame is superb also. Great job!
-
That is spectacular! Great job!

Congratulations on your sales but regrets for your back. at 8o I have a bad back along with bad balance. You have my sympathy and hope you will get better soon.
