Amanda Russell shows off an easy-to-make jig for cross cutting on your L-fence.
"Once when I was assisting a woodworking class, we needed to crosscut a wide panel but lacked a table-saw sled big enough for the task. There was a Bob Van Dyke–style L-fence on hand, so I came up with this simple crosscut jig that works in tandem with it. It’s another L-shape, but flat this time. Built from two pieces of plywood, it can be made in multiple sizes, to suit any project."
