A while back someone was looking for an article about using a sled in a
planer to face joint a board. Ran across it last night going through
some old mags: August 2004, Issue 171 of Fine Woodworking, in the
'Methods of Work' section. Sled with imbedded Clamp n Tool and some
shims.
Heh. I made a nifty planer sled, 99.9% wood - the 1% is the glue
in it. Uses 2 cam clamps (homemade), uses scraps of wood as shims, as
required. Didn't want to take chances with any metal in it, just in
case. No actual cost, except time (free chunk of 2x4, leftover wood,
plywood scraps, glue, about 2" of 1/4" dowel). Works like a charm, and
even looks good. I'd paint it yellow, but that would drop its collector
value.
It's not really about the money, but sometimes it's just more
satisfying to make your own, instead of buying.

That was me. Thanks for the follow up. Some one also sent me copies of the
article.

Don't think so. Simple tho. I'm not in the shop, and haven't used
it for awhile, so not 100% on details. Bottom - 2X8 or 2X12. Bach is
2X4, planed down to about 1" (playing when I got the planer). The
front, clamp side, took apart a couple of homemade cam clamps, and glued
the clamparts on each end. Put some whod in, fill up the gap with scrap
strips, shims, then just tighten up with the cams. No prob.

According to my dau-in-law, it's not what I say, it's the way I say
it. I think it must be the accent.
