(Late) Advent Calendar

This year, we did not have much free time before december to create our own advent calendar, not suitable commercial calendar. I did a reusable one in plywood using my laser cut machine.



Introduction

For this project, I needed to plywood sheet of 40x80 cm with 3.7 mm thickness (do not ask me why my vendor do 3.7mm plywood …).

TODO: inspiration ??

Structure

I started with the main structure.

I glued horizontal part first, used a good dictionary to get everything clamped correctly.

When my laser playground was too small to cut large pieces, I did some assembly.

After the four structural parts are done, I glued them together. We need to pay attention to squareness !

Drawers

While the structure is drying, I cutted the drawers part. I saved some wood on the back side (not visible from the outside).

All drawers are identical, only the face has a different number.

Insert the Drawers

With the first batch of drawers, test if they correctly fit in the structure.

Print all the faces in a same batch on the same wood, so the lines goes into the same direction.

Final Result
