Are the half slots there for a reason Phil?

I’m guessing because bits don’t drill square :slight_smile:

Now im so bad at drawing/graphics that I asked my 3 year old Daughter to do this :slight_smile:

Im thinking if that’s an exposed joint it will take a putty fill , fine if painting but such a cool joint should be exposed

If they were inverted would it work ?

How would I add the other half of the dogbone to each piece? Could I then use contrasting colored dowels to pin the dovetails together for a dramatic effect?

FYI, I really envy your CAD ability :slight_smile:

i didnt understand the join cut with dogbones on cnc until i saw it assembled, @AngusMcleod , and not the test piece, i was still lost , but the actual finished piece, then the light bulb moment occurred,

I was literally just googling the best ways to cut dovetails on a CNC without having a vertical setup.

I really like your concept/design, but personally I can’t stand the rounded pockets in the corners. I wonder if there is a good way to incorporate dowel pins into the design that can insert into the pockets (sanded flush later) that add asthetic quality
Otherwise I think I would rather have the CNC cut the bulk out, and then just a little chisel work to clean up the corners.

Im betting you have a small snow plough converted to pick up the foot deep dust, :slight_smile:

how about a "show us your shop " thread,

Ive seen some pics on here of shops that are surgical clean , Xcarve robotic surgery anyone?

mine is a rammed earth floor so needs to be proper disgusting before it strikes me as needing ploughing , also its slowly turning itself to dust from machine vibrations,

Great work, are you using magnets to hold down the top? If so, glued in, or press fit?
