The June 2021 issue of\u00a0Popular Woodworking<\/em>\u00a0magazine features my article on the Maker Workstation<\/a>. \u00a0This is a basic PDF format drawing Maker Workstation layer guide. All the dog holes require high accuracy and should be made using the Maker Workstation CNC-made templates. DXF template files are available in the woodworking.digital store. And, they are free!<\/p>\n

With a CNC template, you need a\u00a0Maker Workstation Layer Guide to keep you on track. This is the 72″ x 24″ Layer Guide. Other Layer Guides will be available soon. Later I’ll add 96 mm x 20 mm metric Layer Guides. Why use a guide? To keep track of where drill dog holes and T-Nuts are located. And, because drilling a grid of holes everywhere is a bad idea. More holes make your workbench less useful. Layer Guides offer optimal layouts for dog hole and T-Nut locations, leaving large open areas for workbenches of specific sizes. If a project comes up where you need more holes or a different layout, best to create Maker Workstation Top Plates (using the free CNC template for Top Plates\/Worx Sidekicks) and workstation furniture. Remember the design principle: less is more.<\/p>\n

There are extended online Popular Woodworking articles that take you through the process of constructing the Modern Base. Read my posts at popularwoodworking.com<\/a><\/p>\n

As a reminder….<\/p>\n

CNC-made templates are required for this project<\/span>. To make them, you need template CAD files, a CNC, or a CNC service.<\/p>\n

Ready-made Maker Workstation templates are available for purchase as the woodworking. digital store.<\/p>\n

See the print issue or popularwoodworking.com<\/a> for more project information and step-by-step articles to help you build the project.<\/p>\n

My request back at you: If you build a Maker Workstation, I’d like to see it. I’d appreciate it if you send a photo and if you post it on social media, tag @woodworking.digital on Instagram and use the hashtag #makerworkstation.<\/p>\n

All files and plans are as is and come without instructions, CNC programming, or project support. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, this is FREE!<\/h3>\n
