![Making Layered Dioramas with Finger Joints
The Finger Joints Kit lets you add laser cut finger joints to any project. In this video we use it to make a layered diorama. Part of the artwork is from an image made in Procreate and traced with Cuttles new Trace Image feature. We add tabs to each of our layers and make a base with slots to assemble our diorama.

![How to Use Corner Rounding with Custom Values (even Zero for no-rounding)
Sometimes you need to round specific corners of your shape, or you want to specify different values for each corner when using the Round Corners modifier.
In this video we answer how to do it, in short: use a list of values, each value corresponds to a corner. The list should be in square brackets with each value separated by a comma, like this: [0, 1, 2, 3]
Zero corresponds to no rounding.
If you have done some coding this might look familiar, this is an array! If you havent, dont worry, just type it as indicated in the video.
