    With a couple of minor mods, this would be an awesome artist’s easel! It just needs sliding blocks at the top, so that you could clamp various sized easels-FROM THE INSIDE-of the canvas stretchers.

    Once again, YOU ARE THE MAN!!! I desperately need infeed and outfeed tables for my saw, but don’t have the space for permanent tables-my wood shop shares my garage with a Mustang GT, so I have to be VERY space conscious in all of my shop fixtures and furniture. I think these will be PERFECT for what I need. Thanks, Izzy!

    Nice build! very creative and practical! The hold-down T-slots everywhere certainly make this very versatile. Every tool does something particularly well so I wouldn't expect this tool to exactly replace a jointer or planer but it certainly comes close enough for most woodworkers.

    Have you tried mounting any other power tools on the sled (e.g. a hand planer, or even a belt sander)?

    I'm curious about the red and blue item behind you at around 1:45. It looks to be a bolt/nut size chart. I'm really interested in it because it looks like it has larger sizes

    Hey Izzy! Man… I can’t believe how negative some of the comments are. I feel bad for people like that and how miserable they must be every day. Anyway… you mentioned you and Maggie were planning on trying to do videos relating to CNC stuff periodically… is that still in the works? Just curious because I am waiting for my foreman and would love to hear more from you on the topic going forward. Thanks!

    hey izzy, youre amazing... what i will say is someone like jsk koubou is more perfectionist and comes up with some amazingly precise jigs and innovations, but yours are generally more practical, youre one of those guys that just gets sh*t done and thinks hard enough to come up with truly practical solutions, love it!

    You could use this for creating dovetail joints if you clamp a piece vertically on your tilting table and come up with a way to lock one of the axes at measured increments.

    I cut down 2 Deodar cedar that were 85 feet tall and about 90 years old. I got 2 slabs at the base that are a little bit short of 6 feet diameter. I am looking for some rails that won't sage when I run the router across. I like the idea of the plywood or something under the rails for support. Great idea!

    what if it were Mounted perpendicular to the wall. (on the wall) and then the sawdust would fall down.. (as well be blown from the air assist) . and have a flat vacuum suction on the foot or even a Metal Grate below where it would suck up the debris (bark) and sawdust.. like do all that but prop it against the wall. or PIVOT from the floor orientation to the wall vertical orientation. [ Better yet., just use a predesigned MURPHY BED mechanism rack and pivot ] and hide it all away for hidden storage. ]
