Yes, another bandsaw sled with inserts for a few angles. I should say, the length of the inserts was driven by the size of the russian birch I had spare. I used matchfit grooves for stop blocks this time.
Happy to take any feedback, answer questions, take more photos if anyone is interested.

That is the bandsaw sled to rule all the bandsaw sleds. Very nice work, please add a couple more photos, i.e. down side, cheers.

Question - why are your angles set going away from the blade instead of into it? Doesn't this put your knuckles closer to the blade? This is mine based on the Salisbury Sled.

Thanks so much for sharing, im just about to make one for my Makita bandsaw.
Great work!
 
You are right! I did not notice that in the Aussie Design you would have to really support the wood, whereas in yours the template holds the wood for you.
