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.
Have a look at the first couple of images. The top of the desk IS between the sides, each side has two legs and a support for the top.
The top is slightly recessed into the sides so that the weight won’t be borne by the fastenings, the top rests on the sides but the highest part of the top (the top of the top!) is actually below the highest point of the sides to stop things from rolling off the desk.
You can click to zoom in on that second picture to see some more detail.
Darnit, I just re-read your message and it says ‘bed’ before legs. Darnit. Yes, the desk can fit between the legs but it won’t for the first room it’s going to go into. It will be next to it as in the first image at the top.
The second suite will go into a slightly smaller room so I’m not sure exactly how we are going to lay it out.
hi Emilianomolina ! nice work ! I’m also currently working on flat pack furniture with the xcarve. I was wondering about your xcarve specs and the cutting speed, depth of cut per pass and plunge rate. What is the spindle ? Is it a VMC?
Thanks for sharing the specs ! Cheers, kev.
Three coats with two hour drying time in between, did the top of things then the bottoms the next day.
The top of the desk received five coats.
Two days with furniture bits in our kitchen/dining area. The other side of the loft bed is still in the study because I couldn’t fit everything in the one room.
Absolutely amazing! Good way to make full use of the machine. I would have never thought something that big could be cut in our little DIY systems. Good job
I made this desk with my X carve and it was brilliant front to back but side to side it wasn’t great. I ended up adding diagonal bracing to stiffen things up.
Before trying it he didn’t want his old bed sold for a while, now he’s happy for it to go. So that’s a success! He reads on the little sofa a fair bit too so it’s good to have that space there for him.
sorry im new to all of this is just purchased the 1000mm x carve. but how do out make such a large piece in the machine? is there a setting adjustment or do you just measure and hope for the best?.
