Alrighty... I started on my cross cut sled.
It's a sheet of 1/2 melamine about 2x3' with two runners.

It slides nice and easy with no wiggle. I'm getting ready to put the
front and back cross pieces on and possible a blade guard. I'm also
pondering what to do as an adjustable miter gauge, clamps, etc.

So, show me yours.
What have you done that works well.

Cheap (made from scraps), Simple
Forward travel limited by stopped slots in outfeed table.

What doesn't?

What there is of it, works well.

What mistakes did you make?

Left out blade guards.

All that stuff...
