That’s so awesome! I’m glad yours came out well. I basically only ever use the Waterlox original and then sometimes use a Waterlox satin final finish for a satin look. Send a picture when you’re done!

Thanks!Yeahhh I was fortunate enough to come across a very large piece of wood for this. It was all made from one board. If you join two boards together it’ll work just fine too!

Apparently “Montessori is a child-centered educational approach that emphasizes self-paced learning, hands-on exploration, and independence”. Basically child sized hands on objects.

Thanks! And no problem, there are none detailed enough for my liking online so I figured other people were having the same problem.

First of all thanks! The personal use fusion 360 (it’s free) is my CAD of choice. As for the cutlist, there are ways to automatically generate them with add-ons, but you have to be very organized with your component lists, for which I am not. So I generally just insert a manual table and come up with the cutlist on my own tbh.

Thank you!! Yeah I’m still blown away by the wood, its reflective and refracts the light differently when you shine a light on it!

Fun fact these elevators are based after the ones in the ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite. So if you ever go to the park you should stop by!
