Thank you @BlueLocktite!
Here is a shot of the desk sides being cut:
And one of the desk assembled, held together only by friction of the parts and gravity!
As you can see the room where the x-carve is is a multi-purpose room. My wife and I both work in there but it’s the only place I can do my woodworking.
I can’t have big machines in there or anything that requires a lot of clean up afterwards. The x-carve has been a way for me to do woodworking in a small space.
