Clamp & glue is plenty strong. I’ve built a couple of desks with this approach plus a large dining table.

Back when I started my software career (2001) we did paper code review printouts in Araxis Merge. We also didn’t have source control back then.

We have a color Brother laser that works pretty well.

My cats would have loved to use the top as a scratching pad! Look out 😅

Nice work on the wrapping, it looks very clean.

Could you swap out the back legs with longer ones to help the thigh clearance?

Check the calibration:

1. Confirm that the outfeed table is parallel to the cutter head.
2. Confirm that the outfeed table is level with the top dead center of the cut.
3. Then confirm that the infeed table is parallel to the outfeed
4. Lastly confirm that the fence, when set to 90, is square to the outfeed table.

This should all the the case right out off the pallet but it’s worth a check.

I relief on polled notifications from Sync. Worked just fine for me.

Awesome! Thank goodness the kiddos like the set.

Dust collection is a great application for 3D printing… Years ago I broke the bag adapter for my sanding station so I made a replacement!

Oil based poly will smell much much worse than shellac. Water based poly wouldn’t be so bad.

Oh yeah… And be sure to never let your filament get tangled!!! Google that before you get started 😂

I’m doing basic, functional stuff so there’s thankfully not much to figure out. I haven’t done any mods to my printer. The bed stays level as long as I’m gentle while removing the print.

The only thing I’ve struggled with was layer and bed adhesion during cold weather. To solve that I made a simple enclosure and also slowed down my first layer.

You’ve gained a table and lost some scrap wood - wins on both sides!

Wow! What are the resonation tubes made out of? Can you describe the process of tuning each key?
