I moved and in the past always lived with friends who had furniture. When I moved I realized I had basically nothing except for the things I've made with Maslow so far. I decided to build everything else I needed with Maslow. Specifically, I didn't want to go to Ikea. I set myself the challenge of furnishing my apartment for almost no money, by building everything I needed from either existing Open Source designs or things I designed myself and made available.Let's start with what I already hadCoat Rack:One of the very first things I made with Maslow was this coat rack in the shape of the iconic Sutro Radio Tower which stands over my home city of San Francisco. It is visible from almost everywhere in the city and to locals it's more of a symbol of the city than the Golden Gate Bridge. You can buy a coat rack of it, but they are hundreds of dollars so I made my own. I've had it for about a year now and I still love it.Olivia Desk and Slim Chair from Open Desk:I built this Olivia Desk and Slim Chair from Open Desk for my old room. I did a blue/teal wood stain on the chair which I copied from the Open Desk websiteand I liked the look so much I did the surface of the desk also. Open Desk is a design initiative based in London founded by some of the same people whomade Wiki House. They are a FANTASTIC resource for Open Source furniture designs run by some of the most pioneering people in the world of open making.I made a video about making the table which has been watched over 100,000 times which is amazing.Wine Rack:This wine rack was actually the very first thing I made using Maslow. I was based on a cool design that I saw on Pintrest. I've been thinking about remakingit because it's cut from really low quality and thin 1/2 CDX construction plywood and painted blue with spray paint. I made it from such low quality wood becausepre-kickstarter the Maslow project didn't have enough money to buy even a sheet of plywood. The blue spray paint was just a poor choice. It's kind of a sentimentalpiece so we'll see if it actually ever gets re-made.What I made to fit my space:Cafe Table and Roxanne Chairs from Open Desk:I needed a table, and I needed to make the most of very limited space. I went with this Cafe Table from Open Desk and I LOVE it. It has a brilliant shapewhich is a cross between a triangle and a hexagon. The shape makes it possible to sit 2-5 people at a table with a very small footprint. When the table is against the wall, it seats two. Pulled out from the wall a third person can be added to the remaining large side. That's about it for comfortably eating, but for something like a board game night where not everyone needs a lot of table space it would be easy to seat two more people at the rounded off cornersmaking it a five person table. Dish Rack:Finally, when I moved in there was an ugly shelf above the sink made from some sort of particle board which was falling apart. Rather than replace it with anew shelf, I decided to build a shelf/dish drying rack. The dishes will drain into the sink below and it frees up the area next to the sink for drying biggerthings like pots. I got the idea from an episode of the Podcast 99% invisible so thanks Roman Mars!I made the table, chairs, and dish rack from 3/4 ACX plywood which is $29 a sheet around here. I was able to get both chairs out of onesheet and the table and dish rack from another so my total cost for everything was around $60 which seems very fair to me especially for furniture that I loveand enjoyed making. Have a great two weeks everyone, and for those of you in the United States happy Thanksgiving!

Making an Olivia Desk from Open Desk with Maslow Maslow CNC 2017-05-31 | To go along with the weekly Kickstarter update this week made a quick video about building the Olivia Desk from Open Desk. The plans were downloaded (free) from their website, converted to a .svg file using Q-CAD, CAM was done using www.makerCAM.com. The cut was run over about 3-1/2 or 4hrs at 35 ipm with a .15 step down. I'm very pleased with the results. I've been needing a desk for a while now and this design being a little smaller than a full size desk fits well in my space.www.MaslowCNC.com

Rotation Timelapse Maslow CNC 2017-01-11 | A huge thank you to community member Keith Selbo who rewrote the mathematics which define the machine's motions to correct for the tilt of the sled. I had mentioned in a forum post that it was an important unfinished part of the software and Keith took it upon himself to solve what turns out to be quite a difficult mathematical problem in an elegant way.The effect of of Keith's solution is that as the router sled tilts, the spindle remains perfectly positioned. As nearly as I can measure this means that a line cut from one side of the eight foot plywood to the other is straight.You can see the new math in action in the video.
Defining Terms to Acompany Jan 4th Kickstarter Update Maslow CNC 2017-01-05 | If you are new to CNC routing, jumping into the world of CNC software can be confusing. To shed some light on the ecosystem of CNC software, I will talk about some higher level concepts, define some vocab, and talk about some common file types. In a later video (probably not next week, but the week after) I will walk you through one possible way of going from an idea to a having a cut part using only free software. I apologize for the glare making the cards almost unreadable.
