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.

What have you done that works well.
What doesn't?
What mistakes did you make?
All that stuff...

The plex is probably a bit thin (IIRC, 0.093"). I have thicker stock,
but haven't replaced it.

Simple. Scrap. Free. Square. Works.

Johnson's Paste Wax on the bottom and on the runners.

I could surf Hawaii's North Shore on this bad boy....
