Lew,
What does "I'd use a sled and a cleat adjusted" mean?

"Sled" AKA: Sliding Auxiliary Table (SLAT), is a woodworker's term used to
describe a table saw jig.

Go to library and take a look at Fred Bingham's book, Practical Yacht
Joinery.

Describes how to make a sled /w/ pictures as well as how to use it to make a
grate, again with pictures.

HTH,

Lew
