This is my finished frame. The cedar really rough and irregular in thickness but with decent wood it should work out well. I just wanted a rustic look.
I did it. I made my miter sled. Very crude but seems to work. I just used what I had on hand with the exception of the toggle clamps which came from HF. It was somewhat of a struggle as I have a cheap saw with chintzy fence. I always use a framing square to make sure it is square with the table. There are things I will do different should I make another one which I probably won't. I wanted to make a rustic frame so I used a very rough cedar fence stake. I may never make another as my space is too crowded to work comfortably.
I downloaded it on the Bragging area. I have tried to find it but have not been able to do so. However, I will check your web site and remit the cost of the pattern with paypal. Sorry for the kerfuffel.
I just did as you suggested. I also bought toggle clamps from HF this morning. I just nailed the strips lightly to keep in position. Tomorrow I go to ACE for the proper length screws. Then the test to see it it is accurate. I am not a wood worker by any means. I perhaps should have used MDF but I don't like the weight altho it is more impervious to humidit changed. So far the sled slides smoothly.
Well I am certainly embarrassed. I owe you a BIG apology. Now I don't know this happened. Someone had posted the same pattern awhile ago. I liked it and downloaded it. I had downloaded several patterns by neptune. I cut the designers name off the pattern and leave it on my desk to remind me whose pattern I am cutting. I must have picked up the wrong label. I will say this you certainly create great patterns. I should gain admission before downloading.
My saw does not have a riving knife so I always make it a practice to not stand directly in front of the saw. My saw is not real powerful but still throws material every once in a while. I feel bad for your experience.
