Popular Post ..Kev Posted July 2, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 One of the first things I built for the house when I first started woodworking were picture frames. The ones in my house really show my poor skill level, poor lumber selection, and lack of finishing techniques so, it's time to start over. Even tho I now have really nice equipment in my shop, I wanted a dedicated sled for repeatability so, here it is.. Thanks to @gee-dub for the idea on the infeed support! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gee-dub Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Another great video. In the spirit of full disclosure, the infeed support was something I saw somewhere along the way, not my own invention. If I could recall the source I would give credit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no matter where it came from, I liked your infeed supports so much I made 2. 1 short and 1 long, for me they are among the most useful table saw jigs I have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Nice project Kev. That looks to have a lot of uses in the shop, not just picture frames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 I doubt those miters could be any tighter, even using a framer's guillotine shear! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Nice miters ! Getting the lengths the same is a big part of mitered frame success. Did you just glue the corners or is there a Domino or some other additional reinforcement ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Kev, this is going way back but I thought it was due acknowledgment. One of my employees is an amateur photographer and I hope he stays that way for my sake. He asked me to build a simple frame for a 36” x 24” photo/print with the outside dimensions being 44.5” x 32.5”. Using this sled and my Domino, the joints came out perfect. As the pieces are that long, I had no stop block but used the kerf cut in the sled as my mark. I’ve only dry fitted it so far, waiting on him to choose an outside edge profile, so no pics. Thanks bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bud! That's awesome Coop and really makes my day to see the sled working out for others! This sled is still in use in my shop to this day and gets used often on all sorts of projects!
