Wedgie Sled

This is the Wedgie Sled, (Jerry Bennett video), I put together today, 12” x 20” with 1-1/2” fences. Base is 3/4” plywood with a oak runner on the bottom for the miter slot. The fences are Oak, and I made the star knobs with layered 3/4” plywood with a “T-Nut” barried in the layer, cut with hole saws. I also cut up card stock to create the wedges, (from 8 to 40 sides), only thing left is to cut some samples to ensure the angles are correct. Then I can make some from 1/8” hard board. At some point I will make a stop guide to fit into the other miter slot of the table saw.The last picture shows a zero clearance plate with an angled piece of Oak to allow the small pieces to fall away from the blade. Safety thought, keep them little pieces from getting launched back at me.I will use this for my next turning project, segmented bowls.Thanks for looking.
