EDIT: I used a palm router to round over the edges after carving. If you know how to do it in easel, please message me!

I used dowels to piece everything together for ease of assembly and dissasembly. Be sure to adjust pockets for your board thickness. for the stand, i glued two pieces together and slid them into the baseplate. cashapp $AlexanderChairez

I like the round over you added to the edges. Did you do that on your CNC or use a hand router or router table?

I used a hand router. I would like to have the machine do it. But I haven't found a way that would make it easier than just doing it manual.

Yeah I've considered the same thing on a few of my projects and I think it's one of those you could do it but there is a better tool/process.
