OK 4 minutes in and I already know I like this guy. Birds of the feather.
-
I love videos like this that walk through steps carefully. Also, good on calling out the error as well.
-
I build a lot of things that are a fit for this size sled, cool design, now making one! Thank you.
-
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I really enjoyed it. The product looks amazing and I'm definitely going to make one. I especially like the way you shot and edited the video. It is honest and straight to the point, with well thought out camera angles. It is so refreshing to learn something new without annoying product placements. You are a great teacher my friend. Thanks again.

Thank you for presenting this levelled up option. Thank you for presenting it clearly and thoroughly.

Always something new to learn. Thanks for including all the detail steps!
-
Inspired! Thanks Rahim! I love carpentry 💕
-
Your absolutely right. This jig will save time and effort. Will be building one in the very near future. Thanks for imparting the knowledge, very much appreciated.

🤜🤛 for presentation! Even with a bench top jointer, longer stock can be problematic and time consuming to get desired results. Time spent making this jig is easily regained when compared to the effort required on a bench top jointer.

Very Nice! Only one minor change I might suggest: the T-nuts should be on the inside of the sliders so that when you tighten the thumb screws, they are not trying to push the T-Nuts out of the slider. T_nuts are "nuts" should be used on the end of the bolt, nut the top. Or perhaps use threaded inserts instead of T-nuts.

will be making this in the near future. amazing

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing
-
That's a very cleverly designed jig! As long as your stock with the jig isn't too thick for the planer, this seems like a solid leveling tool! Thanks for posting!
