Router Sled For Smoothing Wide Boards
I have glued up some walnut boards for an entertainment center. Some of the pieces exceed the width of my 15″ planer so I have been trying to smooth them out with hand planes. Once I got the plane blades sharpened and aligned they worked pretty well but I still have difficulty getting everything even. I am very interested in finding any good plans for one of those router cross-rail sleds I’ve heard about. Anyone know where I could find some drawings? Are these jigs made commercially?

The April/May issue of Wood magazine had a pretty good article for making a rail & sled setup like what you're after. Don't know if they have it online or not though.
Waddaya mean it wont fit through the door?
