12-19-22 Laser Crib Board Design
This morning’s advent was super cute, my Spotify wrapped showed my son’s podcast as second on the list and my day was quite productive.
The best part of the day though was the synchronicity of the crib pegs I ordered arriving today instead of Friday and a half hour later, Chris, the guy who knows the most about the new Laser cutting machine in the Makerspace showing up at the office after his arm surgery eager to help me design and make a crib board for Ashlée’s beau. His name is also Chris and he is only in town tomorrow as he lives in Castlegar and works away over the holidays. He and Ash got to know each other in person over hours of crib but he doesn’t own a board so I wanted to make a custom one for him. I raced to Winner’s and found an Acacia wood cutting board, came back and picked a round template that we modified to hold the pegs on the side and then worked at finding a mountain template that resembled Fisher Peak. The original was a range of mountains and Chris M taught me how to remove the parts I didn’t want and taper it out more like our range. Once done it took an hour for the first run, There was a glitch in the template that we figured out and did a second run to pick up the missed bits and drill the holes a little deeper. I am blown away by the finished product. I hope Chris likes it.
Dinner was late again but tasty
