Good luck, woodworker. Here’s his Simplicity, his, er, simplest offering:Īlso check out Clayton Boyer’s Wooden Gear Clocks on YouTube He won’t sell plans from his “Masochist’s Corner” unless you’ve built one of his simpler clocks first... and sent him photographic PROOF that you completed it. However, I have come to the conclusion that I should not stand in the way of a woodworker’s desire for additional frustration in his/her life when they obviously want it so badly.” One well-known seller of wooden clock plans, Clayton Boyer, pitches his most-difficult plans like this: “ Selling plans for the clocks on this page goes against my basic philosophy of trying to spread joy in the world through creative woodworking.

Symmetric designs generated by this tool are distinguished by being super easy to assemble, as there should ever only be 3 variations. To achieve that requires dividing each side into an odd number of equidistant sections. Makeabox automatically generates "snap-on tabs", and does it in a very specific way to ensure complete symmetry for each side of the enclosure. They help each side snap in place when assembled, making the overall design much sturdier and easier to put together. They are calledīut they all mean the same thing. What about these "teeth" I see on each side? The downloaded file name will reflect some of the main dimensions you provided. You load up the template into Corel Draw, or Adobe Illustrator, tweak what you need, and then spool it to your laser cutter as per specifications of your laser cutter hardware.

This site has been running since 2015, helping thousands of people generate Laser cutter requires stroke width of 0.001 inches in order to make a cut.Īre you ready to make some boxes?! Let's go! Margin is the spacing around the entire box layout Padding is the spacing between sides of the box as they are laid out. Default value is conservative at 0.007in. But be careful: too much kerf and the sides will not fit together. Material removed, and make your box fit very snug. By adding a non-zero kerf you can compensate for the Kerf is defined as the cut width: the amount of material that laser removes while cutting. The value you provide in this field helps the algorithm determine how many tabs per side to generate.
We always choose an odd number of outward tabs per side, ie.
One of the key differences of Makeabox and other tools, is that Makeabox goes out of its way to create a symmetric tab layout. The layout of the tabs on each side of the box contributes to the overall aesthetics of the final product. If you specify a value in this field, it will be used as a
