Has anyone else taken a look at the latest Shopnotes Issue, #125? Looks like quite an interesting article on building sled for use with a tablesaw.

Now that I am retired (Yah!) I am considering building one this winter. Does anyone see any problems or improvements that can be made to this design?

I went ahead and re-inscribed myself for the shopnotes emails ....
I used to receive this some years ago.
I'll see if this time it will work ...
I did the inscription thing a few times a year in the last 5 or 6 years and never received an answer.
I also filled in a request for a printed catalog from the Hand-On webpage
I have received an emal confirmation that I was put on the mailing list for a Shopsmith catalog
I will let you know if I receive one.

Catalog???? Don't hold your breath!
The last catalog Shopsmith printed was the 2008 edition.

However, thinking positively, if you received a confirmation I'll be happy to be wrong and look forward to seeing them again in the future.:)

Hi Camerio! Maybe there is some confusion here!!! "Shopnotes" is a hard copy magazine with 6 issues per year - August Home, publishing. Not to be confused with "Shopsmith", maker of MarkVIIs, Vs, etc. and supporter of this Forum.

In the Shopnotes page
Tip #125 is :
Machinist's Set-Up Blocks

it does not seem to be what the first post of this thread is about :

Maybe Lodgepole who initiated the thread will be able to give us more information about it.

Let us try again. Shopnotes "Volume 21 Issue #125 on page 12 is the 4 in 1 Box Building Sled. I am looking at the printed publication which recently arrived at my house via USPS not online. I hope this helps. Yes this is highly interesting and will likely be added to my jig building list. No I do not copy and or post copyrighted publications. Jim
