My desktop machine of choice is BoXZY CNC. It is a versatile 3 in 1 tool that gives you a new level of possibility that didn't exist before in a 3d printer or desktop CNC machine. I used the Boxzy Lab at Techshop Pittsburgh to produce my parts.

Other than BoXZY, for this project I used two primary pieces of equipment being a table saw, and chop saw. I would have been able to use just the table saw if in a pinch. A smaller, space saving option would be a circular saw.

Once the pieces are cut to size, angle your saw blade to make the french cleat. Once glued and sanded, you get a truly beautiful result.
