After turning 20 pens for one job
I said to myself "self there has to
be a better way than marking then cutting
the blanks for 20 of the same type kit"
I use a table saw and had an old panel cutting
thing that I don't use any more so this is
what I came up with.

I think you can see it is very easy to build.
I made the thing (tech term) that I put the tube
in to offset the blank 1/16 shorter to allow for
gluing in the tube.
I hope you understand cause I don't splain thangs well:D

Nice idea Steve. It took me a minute to see what you are doing. It looks like you have solved your problem.

I like it that you are using the tube to set the length.
No reason for error that way.

Good Job!

ya'll have to scuse my fellow texan. hes from NORTH texas. probably gets on his horse from the right side and such. we uns in SOUTH texas don't have such goin ons. he took a pretty good pic of his new toy though huh. could send it to me when hes tired of it.
 
Steve ..... thanks for taking the time to post the pictures of your sled. I just had a great idea! Why don't you write a nice little tutorial (with lots of pictures) of building your sled and how to use it? I'm certain it would make a nice contribution to the IAP library. Plus, it would help lots of members. Just a thought. :D

(If you like, I'll be glad to help edit the tutorial once you've written it.)

Steve; The photo says it all. I had made a similar thing, but I think your setup is easier to build and use!

Can I make a copy?

I will have to add another jig to my table saw sled shown below. I always over build things! [^]
