Decided to make a new x-cut sled in the DJMark's vein - big n' yeller and
with only a fence at the back. Sled #1 suffered from my ability to make the
fence dead-on-Starett-checked-ninety-degrees-square.

For Sled #2 - the epiphany was to let the left edge of the sled hang over
the table edge by an inch or two - enough room to get a small 6" Bessy clamp
on there.

One McFeely's screw at the right edge of the fence to act as the pivot point
and then it was simply adjust the fence, tighten the clamp, cut and check
for square. (Lather, rinse) repeat until accurate or frustration set in.
Then a few more McFeely's(*) to lock the fence into place.

The other "improvement" was using BORGesque Primed MDF as the rear fence.
Their 1x6"x6' was a buck or three. Cut it in half, glued the two halves back
to back to make a 1.5x6"x3' fence. Trimmed as appropriate on table saw and
band saw. Sealed edges back up w/ Kilz.

The MDF fence is flat n' cheap.
Ugly. B*tt ugly, in fact. But flat n' cheap.

Just thought I'd share since it's the season of sharing.

(*) Think Ray should just drop the whole notion of "screw" (noun and verb)
and just call it "McFeely". As in "Simply mcfeely (verb) in three more #6x1
1/4" McFeely's spaced evenly across the board."
