Haha! Ya just a little bit of a progression from coding your own gcode 😄 you can always download the free version of fusion 360 and play around drawing and stuff on there. Took me about a couple weeks and quite a few YouTube videos to get the basics. But now it’s not too bad and I can build mostly what I need to now

There are quite a few programs you can use to draw. Depending on the machines some come with their own proprietary software. have you ever used any CAD software?

Thanks! took about 20 mins in Fusion 360 to draw it out and get the gcode file output. To get the machine ready to cut about 2 mins. Took 35 mins with a 1/8” bit to cut 1/4” deep. Took 2 passes …

Hah! Thanks guys! fresh off the CnC .. a quick test fit on the legs to see how it’s going … working on aprons … Front apron curve …

Got some work done today … might lose a few of y’all after this update 🤣 moxon vise coming through again to help! so design change .. I was thinking maybe dowels but decided on through dominoes for an accent to the legs on the front faces … test fit to get an idea on length of aprons and to see how the legs look overall. Happy so far .. there’s one of my PECs double squares off the Epstein site … going 1” in from every edge gluing up legs ..

they came out great! How thick are they?

Getting ideas and marking things out Got the top out of the glueup and my boy wanted to help scrape some glue … so heck ya I’m letting him help! and he learned any mess we make we clean 🤣 random question… can you leave something in clamps too long? His top was in clamps for 2 days because I didn’t have time to take it out. I don’t see anything wrong was just curious …

very cool!! Would love to see these when done ... if you dont want to keep up with a journal

yep I see now, thanks!

maybe I am looking in the wrong spot?? I dont see the champaign room 🙂

Ya if I end up getting it I’ll post a review

ya that is one thing I dont like about my dewalt ... you start it up and you better have a grip or it will pop out of your hand. I was also looking into the light attachments for the dewalt, their version of the laser I guess ... definitely just a fun add on and not needed.

HAH! I will have to keep that in mind 🤣 ya, super happy so far ... moves plenty of air and is pretty quiet

awesome, glad you got it all worked out it seems!! How is the sliding action? Smooth?

I was thinking exactly this LOL!! Get a lawn chair and sit in the driveway and critique like she did you while drinking some cold ones ... I would also question the "friend" on how they could like this person, might not be a friend much longer

My version of Kevs mini split haha. Costco had them on sale for $100 so snagged one for the coming summer

hah! no those look nice ... this is what I ordered https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006LBVDS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .. get what you pay for 🙂

interesting ... what kits are you using? I ordered some off amazon and they are loud. Can I ask a rough range of price on these?

those look great! How do you do the hardware? Did you preinstall while everything was a square or what?

do they have to be identical? Maybe do one with ARS/WB and then WB? they look great though!

have you thought about Starrett also? I have one of their adjustable 6" I use all the time on the jointer mainly and then during the projects if needed. I have the milwaukee 4" as well, however mine is now true lol .. I do have some of the bigger woodpecker squares that I use so maybe I am partial to them. If I was you, I would more than likely be looking hard into the 6/8 combo ... more chances to use them over the bigger 12, or the even bigger 18/24 ones or whatever those sizes are ... just my thoughts I will say I have never used the igaging so I cant comment on quality or anything.

Mainly in case he decides to climb on it and jump off ... making sure it wouldnt flip. He is almost 6 yo so he still does a lot of not so smart things in his room alone haha what if the front stretcher is oriented horizontal instead of vertical? That way it shouldnt really effect the height since its only taking like 3/4-1" or so ... not sure how good that would actually look, but I think I could set it back a few inches so it isnt super noticeable ?? I think a lower stretcher on the back would help stiffen things up quite a bit too. Will add that in .. Now, one question I wanted to pick yalls brains on ... the top is coming from 6/4 white oak, so final dimension hopefully 1 - 1 1/4" thick ... would it look weird if the legs were 3/4? or should they be the same thickness roughly as the top? Not sure if that would make everything too bulky looking or silly if you have skinny legs ...

Yes, I was thinking about racking ... It will have 1 brace between the legs on the back side ... mainly so I can screw this to the wall. Was not sure if that would be enough or if I need something on the front as well? it will be in his bedroom on carpet ... gave my thoughts on racking above ... what ya think?

does it show up now?? I added it below here:

I think the issue was on my end ... try again?
