Making a Resizable Flattening Jig. Brought to us by Squarespace. For 10% off your first purchase, go to: http://squarespace.com/makesomething I built a router sled to flatten two massive walnut cookie slabs, six inches thick and way too big for any machine in my shop. The build didn't go as planned, and there are a few things about building a router sled that aren't obvious until you're deep into it. I walk through the full build, the mistakes, and all the upgrades I made to finally get it working: better dust collection, a smarter height system, and the one part I built from scratch that you can just buy on Amazon. ★ TOOLS / SUPPLIES (affiliate links) ★ The P3 Laser Cutter was provided by xTool (affiliate link): https://www.xtool.com/pages/xtool-p3-the-flagship-80w-co2-laser-cutter?ref=IpzOPIZK2_kL7M&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=goaffpro&utm_term=5306 Router Bit Used: https://amzn.to/41i6u2e Miter Saw: https://amzn.to/3QRprDf Planer: https://amzn.to/46tDYeh Yellow Push Block: https://amzn.to/347PTUB Table Saw: https://amzn.to/3GbM9Bm Hand Drill: https://amzn.to/37Ca4fx Festool Router: https://amzn.to/3AEQ5HS 3D Printer: https://bit.ly/4dSoaG5 Festool Dust Extractor: https://amzn.to/3lc6Jqy Track Saw: https://amzn.to/3KocY6t Linier Guide Rails Long: https://amzn.to/41g1prf Linier Guide Rails Short: https://amzn.to/41gpwGd M6 Bolts: https://amzn.to/4lCmNAe Angled Aluminum: https://bit.ly/4smOeAV Dust Bristles: https://amzn.to/4dywQEx Dust Bristles: https://amzn.to/4cXwKGr Air Quality Meter: https://amzn.to/4t0sNpa Already Made Dust Shroud: Stop Collars: https://amzn.to/4bDkuIO ★ WATCH MORE ★ Casio Keyboard Re-casing: https://youtu.be/X9-D6aOUSWY ★ ALL THE LINKS ★ Books, Plans & Merch: https://makesomething.com Making It Podcast: http://makingitpodcast.com My Music: https://bit.ly/4i4J6wB ★ ART SHOW DETAILS★ Saturday, June 20th.
