I’m happy with it, but If I did it again: I’d mask the materials. Doh. I was in a hurry and the frame is behind the slate, but still. It was a gift, I shoulda slowed down. I’d also back off a bit on the precision of slot size to make it a bit easier to put together, the slots are really tight.
It’s strong enough to hold the slate but 1/8” ply is really flexible at 11”x1”, I might up it to 1/4” or use hardwood next time.
Thanks, it was surprisingly difficult to come up with a design I liked. I sat down thinking it would be a ten minute thing —I was wrong. I fiddled with curves and details for a couple hours in the end. Ah well it was fun and a good learning process.
Yeah, that’d work for sure. Simplicity was a main goal, flat pack ability and easy tool free disassembly were secondary and tertiary goals. It all worked out, but there’s always room for improvement.
