  • And-- - what happened?
  • 00:11:23.939 --> 00:11:26.041
  • - well, it turned into kindling for my fire that night.
  • 00:11:26.041 --> 00:11:28.778
  • - it did? - yes, it did.
  • 00:11:28.778 --> 00:11:29.845
  • - did it fall apart?
  • 00:11:29.845 --> 00:11:30.846
  • [laughter] - it did.
  • 00:11:30.846 --> 00:11:32.448
  • But we are gonna show you how to build a sled.
  • 00:11:32.448 --> 00:11:35.217
  • Something good to put on your front porch.
  • 00:11:35.217 --> 00:11:37.953
  • Why don't we get this out of the way,
  • 00:11:37.953 --> 00:11:39.755
  • And we'll just show you how to build this thing?
  • 00:11:39.755 --> 00:11:41.023
  • - that's right.
  • 00:11:41.023 --> 00:11:42.324
  • - one of the first things that you gotta start on
  • 00:11:42.324 --> 00:11:44.460
  • Is the rails...
  • 00:11:44.460 --> 00:11:45.461
  • - the rails.
  • 00:11:45.461 --> 00:11:46.462
  • - for the actual sled.
  • 00:11:46.462 --> 00:11:47.730
  • - this is very important, because
  • 00:11:47.730 --> 00:11:48.964
  • It's gotta be straight... - yep.
  • 00:11:48.964 --> 00:11:50.633
  • - and it's gotta have a nice curve to it.
  • 00:11:50.633 --> 00:11:52.134
  • - you gotta have a miter saw and a table saw.
  • 00:11:52.134 --> 00:11:54.670
  • What else you gotta have?
  • 00:11:54.670 --> 00:11:56.138
  • - you gotta have a jigsaw and you gotta have a nail gun.
  • 00:11:56.138 --> 00:11:58.908
  • - all right, let's get our safety glasses on
  • 00:11:58.908 --> 00:12:01.310
  • And get this cut.
  • 00:12:01.310 --> 00:12:03.145
  • [saw buzzing]
  • 00:12:03.145 --> 00:12:05.648
  • All right, if you want to follow me on over here...
  • 00:12:05.648 --> 00:12:07.850
  • - yeah. - i'm gonna make the long cut.
  • 00:12:07.850 --> 00:12:10.319
  • And to get a nice straight cut,
  • 00:12:10.319 --> 00:12:11.987
  • You always want to use a table saw...
  • 00:12:11.987 --> 00:12:13.589
  • - with a guide. - has a rip fence on here.
  • 00:12:13.589 --> 00:12:15.291
  • - yeah.
  • 00:12:15.291 --> 00:12:16.425
  • [saw buzzing] - makes it real easy.
  • 00:12:16.425 --> 00:12:17.426
  • - oh, yeah.
  • 00:12:17.426 --> 00:12:18.427
  • [saw buzzing]
  • 00:12:18.427 --> 00:12:21.664
  • - this is where you want to stop about right in here.
  • 00:12:21.664 --> 00:12:24.266
  • And then you're gonna finish the cuts out with your jigsaw.
  • 00:12:24.266 --> 00:12:26.936
  • If you don't mind showing us what you do with that.
  • 00:12:26.936 --> 00:12:29.271
  • - all right.
  • 00:12:29.271 --> 00:12:30.339
  • [saw buzzing]
  • 00:12:30.339 --> 00:12:36.445
  • - there you go.
  • 00:12:36.445 --> 00:12:38.747
  • Once you get these cut out, then you can take a sander,
  • 00:12:38.747 --> 00:12:42.117
  • A hand sander or even a palm sander,
  • 00:12:42.117 --> 00:12:44.687
  • And palm these out and make 'em--
  • 00:12:44.687 --> 00:12:46.455
  • - make it nice and smooth. - make it real nice.
  • 00:12:46.455 --> 00:12:48.157
  • But we just wanted to show you how to cut those.
  • 00:12:48.157 --> 00:12:49.825
  • We already have a couple pre-cut for the sake of time.
  • 00:12:49.825 --> 00:12:53.128
  • - yeah. - and, uh...
  • 00:12:53.128 --> 00:12:54.630
  • Now if you want to cut that.
  • 00:12:54.630 --> 00:12:56.198
  • - next thing, i'm gonna cut this steering
  • 00:12:56.198 --> 00:13:00.803
  • On this for the sled here.
  • 00:13:00.803 --> 00:13:02.972
  • So i've already got it traced out.
  • 00:13:02.972 --> 00:13:04.640
  • I'm gonna use a jigsaw again,
  • 00:13:04.640 --> 00:13:06.308
  • And it's just gonna be some simple cuts.
  • 00:13:06.308 --> 00:13:08.644
  • And before you know it, i'll have it on the sled.
  • 00:13:08.644 --> 00:13:10.412
  • - when you're cutting something like that,
  • 00:13:10.412 --> 00:13:11.814
  • Would you actually want to clamp that down and--
  • 00:13:11.814 --> 00:13:14.250
  • To clamp it to the table
  • 00:13:14.250 --> 00:13:15.584
  • Or would your body weight be enough to hold that?
  • 00:13:15.584 --> 00:13:18.420
  • - my body weight's heavy enough.
  • 00:13:18.420 --> 00:13:19.855
  • - [laughs] okay.
  • 00:13:19.855 --> 00:13:20.856
  • - but if--if--
  • 00:13:20.856 --> 00:13:21.857
  • You know, i would use a clamp
  • 00:13:21.857 --> 00:13:23.192
  • If you don't have as much weight as i do.
  • 00:13:23.192 --> 00:13:24.593
  • - okay. - so--
  • 00:13:24.593 --> 00:13:25.761
  • [saw buzzing]
  • 00:13:25.761 --> 00:13:29.098
  • There you go.
  • 00:13:29.098 --> 00:13:30.766
  • Now we can steer the sled.
  • 00:13:30.766 --> 00:13:32.268
  • - and you can sand out those edges and--
  • 00:13:32.268 --> 00:13:34.803
  • So we actually need to start putting this thing together.
  • 00:13:34.803 --> 00:13:37.773
  • We're gonna need another deck board
  • 00:13:37.773 --> 00:13:39.775
  • And another support board.
  • 00:13:39.775 --> 00:13:41.110
  • I'm gonna go ahead and cut those.
  • 00:13:41.110 --> 00:13:42.878
  • If you want to get your gun and start
  • 00:13:42.878 --> 00:13:44.613
  • Assembling this thing, that'd be awesome.

  • 00:13:54.456 --> 00:13:55.891
  • That's the top, so-- - okay.
  • 00:13:55.891 --> 00:14:00.629
  • Let me rub that out a little bit.
  • 00:14:00.629 --> 00:14:03.132
