Shop update #338 (5-1-24)

Every time that I walk by my X-Tool laser it smells like burnt.  I’ve been meaning to clean off the honeycomb and base plate for a while now and finally had the time this weekend.

I saw a picture of a “Modern” cat condo last week and decided to see if I could make something similar.

I started out by cutting a template on my CNC.

I then cut some 3/4″ plywood down to size and used the template to mark out the spots that needed cutting out.  I rough cut them with a jigsaw and then taped the template to the plywood and used the router table with a flush trim bit to finish up the cut outs.

I dry fit the project to make sure that I cut out all of the holes correctly.

The last step for the weekend was to glue an brad nail in some supports for the internal shelves.

I will stain and clear coat the inside this week and then assemble and finish the outside this coming weekend.
