Another crosscut sled

[chris99z71]

In my rare bout of productivity, I finally built a crosscut sled.

Front and rear are 5/4 ipe, as is the runner underneath, and the base is 1/2" baltic birch. I put a coat of Cabot's Australian Timber stuff oil (natural) on it tonight. It's a mixture of linseed, tung, MS and some other stuff - designed for outdoor use. It was super easy to apply. We'll see how it holds up. It sure made the ipe grain pop and took away the yellow hue from the ipe saw dust. I wiped it down really well with methanol yesterday to remove as much of the nasty lapachol as I could.

Very nice Chris!

Very nicely done Chris. I really need to build a cut off sled for myself one of these days.

How about 28 hour days? You only get six of them per week though.
