Hi, I'm David Ardito, owner of Timber Designs Woodworking.
Ever since I was young, I've been driven by a passion for building. From building elastic shooters and constructing furniture with my father to creating wild Lego masterpieces, my love for making things has always been a core part of who I am (I might have even been in the Lego Maniac club!). This enthusiasm for building and fixing things has stayed with me throughout my life. Now, my mission is to share this passion with the world, inspiring others to discover the same joy and fulfillment in creating and repairing that I experience every day. Let's build something amazing together!

New subscriber here! Nice sled. I do like the 2 cut method compared to the 5 cut. I'm always looking for an easier, more efficient way. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent. Greetings from Maine!
I made a smaller sled for majority of my projects. Much lighter. I had a spare miter gage to use as one runner and wood for other. I made sure the base was square at back and right sides. Other 2 sides can be wonky. My back fence is attached to the base edge instead of on top of the base like every other people do. Before assembly I cut a rip kerf on the fence where it meets the base to prevent dust accumulation from affecting the accuracy. Blade protection added onto fence for safety.
@@TimberDesigns they are mostly 1/4 - 20. I have seen some bigger. Their flange slides nicely in track. I have ground some edges when track is too narrow usually due to track design. Not all tracks are consistent between brands.
My only thought is the stop needs to be about 1mm shorter with a slight bevel on the inside edge to stop any dust that may get caught IMO. Looks great and look forward to more content 👍🏻🇦🇺
Good video. I'm glad to see you coming out of the 3 project series where you don't show any actions. You are now showing the process, which is super important for beginners especially to see. Keep up the good work. Too, I really appreciate the surveys you send out. It helps me to think about my own work as well. FYI - You have a nervous habit of clasping your hands together when there is nothing between you and the camera. Just a little something to work on.
Glad you enjoyed the video and the polls and quizzes. I'm aiming to balance between builds and the 3 project series a bit more. I've always had a need to keep my hands busy, which is why I love woodworking, and so when I'm talking on camera my hands for some reason need to keep moving, hence the clasping. I will keep an eye on this more for sure though, thanks for the feedback 😁.
This! This sled is literally everything I've been wanting to put into making myself a new sled. Thanks so much for sharing this! You just saved me some brain power and we know I need that 🤣 Great Video RockStar 😎🤘🏼 Keep them coming please
Good looking build and that will be a very useful addition to your shop. One comment; when you are gluing up plywood for the fence, it's a good idea to glue up against a flat reference surface. Plywood is very prone to flexing especially in thin strips and it's important for the front fence to be dead flat.
Hmmm. Your skills and teaching ability is good but you started this video claiming that for this project you'd only need a table saw and clamps... you then proceed to use a band saw, belt sanders, laser engraver... come on man stay true to your promises
Hey thanks, and fair enough. You can build it only with those tools. Sander is a given, must have forgot to mention that, but laser and band saw aren't needed, just an option
@TimberDesigns i don't disagree but just please be careful on your hooks at the beginning be completely honest OR disclose up front that you'll be using a few more tools. When you got to your laser engraver, it really turned me off
@@TennesseeLivingNowfair enough and I really appreciate the feedback! I am doing my best to make sure I try and include everything that I use and will keep this in mind 😁
