I'm working on an entertainment center (god, how I hate that term. Whatever happened to stereo cabinets???)
Anyway, I wanted to dovetail the carcase and don't have a Leigh jig or the skills and patience to cut them by hand. It was a simple matter to draw up a dovetail template, cut it from acrylic, and off we go.
OK, the carcase is done, now I need grommets for all the wires in and out of the back. 5 minutes to draw them, a couple of minutes each to route. And of course, they match the wood for the rest of the project.
Friends have an annual white elephant Xmas party and I needed the requisite small gift for the exchange. What would be better than something with elephants? These coasters are 3.5" in diameter (should have included something for scale, sorry.)
These were cut with a 60° v-groove cutter and filled with walnut wood filler, then sanded smooth. There's a free program called F-Engrave that takes a drawing with variable width lines and writes g-code for the router that traces the lines, varying the depth of cut to create the varying line width.
The entertainment center will be done soon(ish). I'll post shots when it's ready.
