ROTFLMAO You don't actually think you've seen everything I've made, do you? But, as at happens, I do have a saw sled. That I made. It works quite well too, accurate. Perhaps you saw pictures. The one with the thick base, and 2X4s, all painted yellow, with lightning bolts on it. LOL I think that's the 3d I made. I'll eventually replace it, but it's still accurate, so no rush. I'm not half as bothered by it's looks as a lot of people were. You don't think those lightning bolts were for me, do you? LMAO I decided not to paint the next one, because I changed this one so much, and the paint made gluing a bit trying.
I'm fairly sure I never posted any shots of my wooden cam clamps, or turned mallets, especially the ones with the homemade oil finish (from my cooking oil finish experiments) - those are actually pretty. Probably won't. In truth tho, neither actually take much "skill", anybody could dupe them, but they do look nice - and work great. There's links for cam clamp making in the archives, but, if not, a quick google should turn some up.
If I wasn't having fun woodworking, I wouldn't do it.
JOAT Just because it's not nice doesn't mean it's not miraculous.
