• Make your design in Illustrator on a 30" X 30" canvas.

• Then export a .SVG file.

*Note: You don't need to make this step as I did it for you!

Estimated time: 30 minutes

• Import the .SVG file into Easel.

• Make sure you enter the correct dimensions of the project which is 30" X 30" X 0.75".

• Set the cutting depth at ¾" for the whole design except for the tabs on the seat. (those needs to be set to ½" deep.)

*Note: You don't need to make this step as I also made it for you as well! Just put a 30" X 30" X ¾" material on the machine and carve it!

Estimated time: 1 minutes

• Take a piece of plywood ¾" thick, and measure a 30" x 30" square. (you can use MDF or laminated wood also)

Estimated time: 5 minutes

• Now it's time to cut your blank. I did 31" x 31" on mine just in case but you don't need to. The design is made to fit a 30" x 30" blank.

Estimated time: 5 minutes

• Install and secure the blank on the X-Carve. I screwed my blank directly on the wasteboard, but if you don't want to damage it, just use clamps provided with the machine.

Estimated time: 5 minutes

• The longest part of the process is to wait for the machine to do its job. But it's worth it!

• It took me about 2 hours to carve this design with the original parameters. You may be able to save a few minutes by changing the settings.

Estimated time: 120 minutes

• Stay close to the machine during the process to make sure there are no pitfalls or mechanical breakage. (you're almost there)

• Once the carving is done, remove the pieces from the machine and sand them to avoid splinters.

Estimated time: 5 minutes

• It's finally time to put the pieces together!

Estimated time: 1 minutes

• Enjoy your New Knock-Down Stool and don't forget to watch the Video! ;)
