I couldn't buy one, so I made one instead - the DIY joinery sled

Описание: We've all been there, scrolling through your news and social feeds, when an ad for what looks like a pretty interesting woodworking tool or product comes up. However, that joy is quickly overshadowed by the realisation that it's either not available where you live, is too expensive, or worse both!

I stumbled across the Woodpeckers Joinery Sled, and unfortunately it's not available here yet, and more over, is going to cost well over $600 for it.

So I did the only thing I could think of. Design and make my own!

After many hours in CAD, 3 trial builds and testing, I finally landed on version 2.0 which is proving to be everything I'd hoped for and more!

Featuring bevel adjustment, dovetail clamping, micro adjustments and a feature not even the red tool has, a digital DRO feature!

In this video, I cover building my prototype, some of the issues I ran into and challenges, as well as a few changes I made.

Schematics are available from my website if you're interested in building your own!

Be sure to check out part 2 where I take the sled out for a spin!
