Small Crosscut Sled

Migration project
At the time I didn't have a crosscut sled and decided to make one. The design is from various others with a couple ideas of my own. The bottom is 1/2 ply with the ends 3/4 ply with two pieces glued together for more rigidity. I used scrap Padauk for the runners. After building it I made a through cut and adjusted it to exactly 90 degrees with the saw line using my digital measuring tools. I then made a blade guard at the back to protect hands, etc., with a cutout in it to see when the blade had passed far enough. It was sanded, sprayed with lacquer and again sanded lightly. I then waxed the bottom of the sled and the tabletop to allow it to slide easier. Then sanded down all edges for safety. I used the bandsaw to cut down the back a little to lessen the weight a little, this was done before assembly.
