Crown moulding

Despite a moment of

disheartening realization ( ), the miter sled I built for crown moulding performed well. Here is the sled:

I based it on Jay Bates' design.

Here are some 'before' shots:

I have to say I am pleased with the sled. One setup for the width of the crown, then all cuts are made by simply orienting the piece on the proper side of the sled. I've never been able to make miters fit so well with my SCMS. Now if my coped joints were just a little tighter...

The sled only took about 2.5 hours to build. I'm sure I would have wasted more time resetting my crappy miter saw every time I had to cut opposing angles. The scale on that thing is only 'approximate', to say the least! Now with the sled I just drop in the stick and go!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!
