I made the slides a little long, wedged them into the slots then just eye-balled and drilled and countersunk a hole through the base and into the slides and screwed short screws through the top side of the base and into the slides. No guess work at all.
I don't much like using glue that way but I suppose once set up one could also screw or bolt. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lenny McHugh" <[email protected]> To: "handyman-blind" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 22, 2008 8:00 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] quick table saw jig >I was just talking to a friend who was a woodworker.
