The best thing is not the tools you make to help the rest of us, it's your enthusiasm with what you do.
I just want to say, as a legally blind woodworker, this is an amazing innovation. I can't rely on my eyes to detect minor gaps when using straight edges. This makes it so i can use tactile cues instead. Thank you for this.
That’s so cool. Hopefully you check out our charity as well. Cheers my friend.
@katzmosestools I actually already have and your awesome team helped get me a digital router lift which has been a game changer for me. Thanks
Oh man l, that’s right!!! I remember you! It was so nice to work with you and Chris our director said amazing things. Glad we can be a small part of your amazing journey. Cheers
@@katzmosestoolsI just started work on a pretty cool Lazy Susan project with integrated accent lighting and I couldn't have done it without that router table.
Well it’s on my list. The tracksaw stuff will be nice.
I eyerolled this video immediately, like we need another patented square… But within 2 minutes I’m convinced. Bravo sir, this is a cool tool.
Same.
You sir, are a genius. Thank you for retiring the 5 cut method.
Well, it won't be retired. We'll still want to see exactly how accurate it is after we make it. I mean, isn't that part of the fun in it?
Innovative and a clever design. It is rare that new woodworking tools fill a need in the industry instead of just being a gimmick.
Thank you my friend
Bought one just to support you and what you stand for!
Ordered already! Not just for making a cross cut sled, but the fact I can just make a simple cut into a piece and then have an instant perpendicular fence is golden!!
Hell yeah Jon, the woodworking community loves you and your passion for improving existing systems
Great work. I realize the time, effort, ingenuity, etc… is part of the pricing process but you releasing a product of that level quality and at less than a third of what I expected from another “red” woodworking company is simply OUTSTANDING. Look forward to have ing one in my shop!
Well said! I FIRMLY believe in making wood working accessible to all and that means not charging what I could but charging what’s fair. Elegant simplicity doesn’t have to be expensive. Thank you
@@baraksinz2937 pretty sure @katzmosestools are made in his shop in CA…
I was always told presentation is everything and you sir have mastered that. I found myself saying yes, please take my money. Love your videos.
Ive watch you for years and enjoy your videos ! Since you started makeing tool's, well done and Awsom ! Glad you are her in our woodworking community !
I love that you are willing to put the time, money and effort to making these innovative tools. I used to use a speed square in a similar fashion but that clamping fence is what sets it apart.
Wow…I just watched this and Andrew Klein showing how to use this to create a zero clearance insert and square up my miter saw…Absolutely AMAZING! Another GREAT contribution for the Woodworking Community!
Jonathan, thank you for continuing to improve accessibility to the woodworking community.
Jonathan, you should be very proud! Developing any innovation is a labor of love, takes 10x more time and energy than you realize, and is inspiring to all who see it! As a fellow inventor, innovator, and woodworking tool and accessories designer, this one is definitely one to shine!
This couldn't have come at a better time. I have been putting off doing my sled because I was intimidated by the process. However, I was planning to finally try making one in about a week. NOW, this will absolutely take the fear out of the process. Thanks Jonathan. Once again you hit it out of the ballpark for those newbies like me.
Literally finished the video, liked it, went straight to your page and bought the kit and jig. You're an absolute gift to the world of woodworking, and I appreciate all your hard work you put in to making it something anyone can do!
That means a lot my friend
I did the same thing. I can't wait to set up my sled.
Me too, but they were already sold out. *cry*
We are on presale but not sold out
This is the most beautifully simple but genius bit of workshop kit I have seen in a long time...maybe ever. Thank you for all you do for the woodworking community and getting the tools into the hands of those who need them most. Like another comment said, it's not just the tools, it's your genuine enthusiasm and absolutely clear love of all you are doing. I will, most certainly be ordering one of these.....along with a bunch of other kit, no doubt. Lots of love and sawdusty hugs from the UK. ❤
I just got the Jig out of the box today. It is truly amazing. The fit and finish is remarkably high quality and it performs even better than expected. Amazing work!!! Thank you!
So much appreciation for your innovation! You bring so many great problem solving tools to the community!
JKM, Dude, this is awesome. I've always been impressed with your products and designs, but before now, they were mostly better versions of something we were familiar with. This is something new under the sun. Congratulations on such an innovation and on being a patent author. Thank you for all you do and for truly caring about the success of us all.
You just disrupted the billion dollar crosscut sled industry! lol. This is the most creative and practical new tool I have seen in a while.
Totally sold on this! Thanks for your diligence in creating something so supportive and integral to the woodworking community.
Brilliant Jonathan. You're always so innovative as well as being a great teacher. I wish you offered in person classes.
Just got mine this week . . . now to make a sled! Love the simplicity of the whole jig!
So awesome! A couple months ago I spent hours messing with the five cut method. I look forward to getting this jig in the mail and making a new sled.
Wow! I am one of the 43% that hasn't built one. I purchased your stop block and t-track a while ago. I've been nervous about the five cut method, It seemed confusing to me so I haven't tried it yet. This new tool looks like a game changer, I will be ordering one. Thank you again Jonathan for all you do.
Excellent concept JKM , I’ve built far too many sleds for myself and others. My first IIRC had multiple holes and screws, much like yours, searching for the perfect 5 cut measurement. This should make it a simple task for everyone. Thanks!!
You've solved it. This is a really impressive innovation. Such a simple design for a complex precision problem.
Paused the video, ordered it, finished the video. Can't wait.
I'm proud of you as well, and I was just thinking of making it an adjustment to my big crosscut sled. Going to wait a little just so I can try out your. Thanks so much for the effort you put in to this and all of your tools and workflows.
As a new woodworker, I love how you created solution that makes the end user experience so simple & easy and delivers such precise results. I gravitate towards people who are so passionate about their craft and show such enthusiasm. Thanks for elevating the community and delivering awesome content. Can’t wait to try this out!
I was just about to build me 2 sleds. I just bought your jig kit bundle plus a couple of centering rulers. Prefect timing. Thanks
So simple but super effective. Well done, KM team!
I dont build that many sleds, I just made my second one ever because I moved from the beach to the desert and my original sled has wood runners and is too loose. Why I will be buying this is for my track saw, and in case I screw my sled up (thoroughly possible!!) and looks useful as your video is demonstrating. Thanks Jonathan!
When I first started watching, I thought, man, making a sled(s) is like the baptism everyone needs as you move forward in your woodworking journey. That said, seeing all those holes, and having made yet another sled just yesterday, when I checked the price for this amazing device, I thought, man oh man, I have to have one of these~!~ More than fair price, especially when you realize(if your new) just how incredibly important square is. Thank you thank you. I'm between jobs, and it's the first of the month, but there's no doubt that I'll be getting one of these.
What a great approach to get next to perfect results. Well done Jonathan!
I’m not even into woodworking anymore and I still had to watch this video. You’re amazing
Thank you my friend!
What a great jig. Definitely a game changer. It simplifies the making of any cross-cut sled. Kudos.
Any time now I’m gonna get going on my woodwork journey, once I’ve finished renovating my house, and I’m gonna be using all these great jigs. Just awesome. 🙌🏻👌👏🏼
I love wood working in my spare time. I have 4 young kids so the spare time is hard to come by. I always wanted (needed) a cross cut sled but it always got pushed down the list. Andrew Kleins video brought me here and like the other comments i went right to your website and bought a kit. I love supporting guys like you. You seem passionate about your craft and genuinely want to help people. You've also gained a subscriber. Thanks
Awesome product. The fact nobody did this before you is weird. It seems so obvious when you make it like this. GREAT JOB! Saves tons of time making sleds and other jigs.
I am wondering if katz is working on a non-marring countersink cause I do not recognize the one in video from anywhere.
So awesome, man. You should indeed be really proud of this and all the innovations you come up with. Genius!
Nice to see one of my favorite youtubers use Wera tools. I absolutely love them! 👌🏼
The best!
This truly seems like a genius design in every way - I applaud you for the elegance and simplicity and effectiveness of what it does.
Excellent tool! I have one of those sleds with a dozen holes in the bottom as I burned up wood trying the 5 cut method. This tool is a huge time and frustration saver Thanks so much. And it will be great for quick checking before a project as my shop is a garage type and the sleds are prone to warping.
That is genius and genuinely a great invention. That's hard to do in a world where it's hard to come up with new ideas. Bravo
OMG, this is brilliant. I have made 3 sleds and dread it every time. I am ordering this for sure.
I bought my kit before the video ended. I was so excited to get this tool I forgot to order the stop block when I bought the kit😂. I love tools that give you your time back in the shop.
Congratulations KM! I am glad my old sled was not the only one that look like someone shot it will a machine gun before I could get it square. Was a awesome Idea. I will have to add that tool to the shopping list.
This tool needs to be in my shop! I just built eight huge acoustic panels for my home recording studio, and I used your dovetail guide to dovetail all the frames.
Dude. Keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you
You're da man! Excellent tool to make building a crosscut sled easier and more accurate. Plus another awesome JKM video explaining how to use the tool and make a crosscut sled. I was so impressed, that I too bought the kit. Keep up the great work!
Seriously, your innovation is next level. I’m ordering now!
I just bought this bundle, and am really looking forward to, not only making a crosscut sled, but also using this to square up my miter saw.
That’s awesome!! Great creation. Thanks for creating this. Will be picking one of those up.
Ordered!! Just rebuilt an old Delta RAS. This should make building the new table and fence a dream.
Absolutely Amazing! Congratulations on your invention!
Wonderful tool! If I had the money I’d buy one immediately. So many potential uses for this. Can’t wait to see how everyone uses it. Thanks for your ingenuity.
JUST in time! I am literally 1 day away from building a new sled! Thanks Buddy!! God Bless 🙏
I didn’t even finish watching the video before I ordered one. Making accurate stable saw sleds have been such an annoyance to me, that I don’t use the two I have because they aren’t accurate enough. This will convince me to remake them, and do them right. Thanks again Jonathon!
I did the same!
Cool, you went from woodworker to manufacturing, of course your product designs are next level, innovative, and par woodpecker.
I remember how stoked I was over the years when I ordered the magnetic dovetail guide, stop block, and especially router plane. But dadgum! I’m super stoked for this to arrive! KM, I bet you’re most proud of this creation.
Brilliant Jonathan! Such a useful helpful invention! Thank you for your contribution to our endeavors!
My pleasure my friend
Jonathan thankyou for the videos they have motivated me to better myself as a carpenter
That's just brilliant, Jonathan... FANTASTIC little jig! Really well designed and done! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
fantastic idea, finally no more messing about on jigs.
Thank you for making amazing tools!
I love this tool and your timing is impeccable! I am working on a project for my home and had extra Baltic birch plywood so I cut it down to make the fences and bases for two different sleds for my table saw. My order has been placed and I'm looking forward to skipping the need to dial in the rear fence. Thank you!
So excited for you my friend! You’ll love it
Wow! That makes it easy. Crosscut Sled, Bandsaw Sled, Incra Miter Sled, Miter Saw 90 degrees, etc. I saw Andy Klein's KZhead video and ordered one.
Just bought my first table saw. Looking forward to the ease of this kit!
That is amazing! It is so beautiful, I watched you do the setup 4 times, like that part of a movie you rewind and watch again and again. What? That's not what I meant! Such a pleasure to see perfection demonstrated:)
thank you for showing your first attempt -- even more humanizing! let's just say . . . I recognize it.
Yeap! pre-ordering right now!, what a great jig, so simple, yet so useful!.
Just ordered mine! JKM your the man!!
I just bought your jig, ingenious! ❤❤
As someone who is fairly new to woodworking, I'm still learning a lot of techniques but a sleed would greatly improve my stills. The one thing I don't want to worry about is weather or not my jig is cutting straight. As soon as I get some extra money, I'll be purchasing!
I was going to make a sled soon now you just made it easier
This is a true innovation! Video was really well produced also. A crosscut sled is such an essential jig for the TS but many woodworkers don’t invest the time in making one.
Purchased when I saw it in my email before I even watched the video. I’m one of those who has put off making a cross-cut sled for the very reason of the five cut method. Been using my Incra 5000 (which is great, don’t get me wrong), but there a times when a cross-cut sled would come in clutch. Thanks, JKM!
For quite a bit of us, accuracy is KING! Just goes to show you, a person doesn't have to sell a kidney to invest in an extremely accurate tool. I love making these sleds, but dialing them in can be so frustrating. Thanks for developing this tool. You will probably see my order tomorrow.
I am such a sucker for measuring tools and jigs. Looking forward to receiving it!
What a brilliant invention.
Brother, simply a Maestro. Thank you.
Ok now that is pure genius!
Wow! Very impressive, Jonathan. Many thanks. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Thank you my friend
@@katzmosestools You're certainly welcome! 😁
Hey Jonathan, Congrats! I know you have been working on this for a long time, and it's so beautifully designed. You should be really proud of this. I've been putting off re-building my sled for years, so I can't wait to try this tool out!
Hey, thanks Michael I really appreciate that!
Johnathan! You're a God damn genius - _You did it again_
Awesome product!!! As always! Can't wait for mine! I just returned from Mexico and am going to put the box joint jig together!
I always enjoy your content and innovation. Thank you
Pretty awesome idea! Congratulations.
Friggin' awesome stuff, Jonathan. And at a very affordable price tag too!
This is a great invention. Nice job man.
Kumiko sleds would benefit hugely from this. You have to make so many specific sleds and your jig square would save HOURS of time and frustration. Also, excellent way of spacing the runners together in the slot.
wonderful addition to a great line of products. By the way I love your new box joint jig. Received as a present from the wife - it's amazingly simple and centered looks fabulous.
Great to hear! Thank you
Really smart stuff. This will make it so much easier.
Very elegant design. Well done!
After watching many of your videos over the years. I felt compelled to order you new bundle with the stop block and sled kit and new adjustment
