Question Timestamps in this Q&A:

  • 00:00:00 - Intro
  • 00:00:51 - He wants to know how to resize a cabinet that he has imported or drawn completely here
  • 00:19:05 - How can I turn a 2D Vectric into a 3d object I can use with my fourth axis?
  • 00:37:36 - I've created 2d vectors in VCarve Pro to create the parts for a stand to hold 4 small flower pots. The parts created then need to be assembled into the final design. I've cut and assembled one and it worked out fine, although it's tough to get the alignment of the curved rails just right. I'd like to modify my Vectric file to include 1/8" dowel holes to be used to align the parts during glueup. I use Sketchup quite a bit so I am trying to "assemble" the parts there so that I can then mark where the 1/8" holes need to be to align the curved rails to the rest of the assembly, but I'm finding it to be tricky that way. Does anyone have any suggestions? 
  • 00:46:14 - How much clearance is recommended for datos and grooves?
  • 00:51:14 - Can you put your tabs where the dowels go, that way you can remove the tabs as you drill the holes?
