Horizontal T tracks on the bottom so that the Jig itself can have the angle, or the depth adjusted. Thank you sir! This sled in combination with my Dewalt 13" planer will also work as a jointer for flattening boards.

Just wanted to say thank you sharing. Simple, straightforward, and right to the point! I was watching videos on how to use my planer as a jointer but seemed overly complicated. This is perfect for me!

Every KZread channel that does woodworking has made this project and yet this one seems so much easier than most. Glad you left the mistakes in so we can learn from yours. ❤

I love that you kept the mistake/learning in the video. From a backyard bbq guy and woodworker I know that I never learned anything from getting it right the first time all the time.

Using the overhang to ensure your sled was paralell, that was a neat trick. I learned a new technique today.

@@WalkersWoodworks Novice woodworker here - Been scratching my head on this for the past 2 days. Why is this important? Isn't the straight cut on the crooked board determined by the straight edge of the bottom plywood and not the 6 inch strip on top? If you just ensured the 6 inch strip did not have an overhang at all (i.e. pushed even further towards the middle of the bottom plywood) then the only thing that transfers to crooked board is the straight edge of the bottom plywood. Any resource you can point to to help me understand would be appreciated. Thanks for posting this video though!!

@patrickd791

@@sparqify I think the part that matters is that 1 of the boards needs to be against the fence by itself completely through its length. Just so you are making a cut that is parallel to the fence on the entire length of 1 board. I can't think of a reason as to why either would matter either. maybe a personal preference? What you definitely don't want is for one board to be against the fence at the beginning and the other to be against the fence at the end ,such as when you don't glue them perfectly square to each other, which is almost always. I think using the top board as the one with the overhang allows you to then trim that side nice and flush, and also makes the screw placements easier. I could be totally wrong though.

@ngnaw

@@sparqify @Patrick Denney I believe when you cut the 6 inch board one side is perfectly straight (the side against the fence) and the other side was just cut parallel to the other side. So when you attach the 6 inch board (2 parallel sides) on the 2nd wider board, you must leave the overhang so that when you glue it together the top 6 inch board's side will run against the fence ensuring that your sled is parallel to the saw blade. So in the end you will have 3 parallel sides on the sled. Really only the side against the fence and the side against the saw blade are what is important. The middle (2nd side of the 6 inch board) would also be parallel to the fence and saw blade.

I’ve been trying to figure this out as well and it doesn’t make sense to me. You assumed the first edge was square why abandon it halfway through? You butted the 3/4 board to the fence and cut off 6”. So now you have your initial fence side which we will call A, the second side of the 6” board which we will call B, and the third side of the larger board that we will call C. A was the original reference edge but now B and C should also be squared with that. Why not just put A on top of C, butt them to the fence, glue and screw and then lopp a bit off the farther side? All will be as square as the A reference edge at this point.

Great explanation and video! Out of others I’ve watched making this jig, this one doesn’t skip steps. Thanks for showing how to make it!

I did set construction at a trade college (23 years ago) we had a dead straight piece of metal. we'd hold a bowed piece against it (bow outwards) and take off just enough to make a straight edge, this looks so much easier. Now that i'm older, getting back into wood work and have the money for the tools I could never afford as a student, I think i'll be building this for my new table saw. I had never even heard of a jointer until this year :p

Hmm my first Table Saw Jointer board looked very similar. Time to build a new one. I have the same exact clamps. Which happen to all be falling off the board I screwed them onto. I use this jig all of the time. It has taken many boards and allowed me to salvage pieces long enough to utilize for that particular project. Many times I purchase broken boards at a discounted price. This jig is quite simple to construct. Nice video, good Audio, good lighting. You speak loud enough and clear enough to understand the first run through. A job well done in the end.

Thanks, good video, especially getting the sled with parallel edges. I have about 50 rough milled spruce boards off our land that I need to straighten the edges. I realize that I need to make the jig at least as long as the board lengths I need to cut, which in my case is 8'. But the principle being the jig always has to be at least whatever board length you're cutting. Funny enough, I have those exact screw down clamps you used from another project. As soon as you put the first one on, I thought, "Oh-oh." I appreciated that you left that error in the video... we all do errors, and that's how we learn.

Haha I hear that alot. Maybe I should just make a video with all my screw ups! 😂

Since the overhang explanation didn't make sense to me (and the video he posted explaining the overhang didn't do it for me either), I had to make this jointer jig to figure out why he does this. The piece he cuts off that sits on top was the piece with the factory edge. The bottom piece is no longer factory-straight because both edges were cut with the table saw. In order to make sure the bottom piece is factory-straight, he first puts the factory-edge against the fence to make the other side of the board essentially factory-straight. Then he flips the board to put the new "factory edge" he just cut against the fence. The top piece (original factory edge) is then put against the fence to use as a guide so that the bottom board comes out factory-straight. You essentially need to follow the original factory edge the whole way through the video to see what he's doing. You could also have the bottom board be the factory straight edge, and overhang the bottom board to use as a guide instead of the top board.

Thanks for the video! Nice work on the sled.
