Desktop Planter
Project by
Beyond Design
General Information
A small fun desktop planter made from 3/4 inch maple and black corian.
Open in Easel®
Mill base and stand
First we cut the corian parts for the base and stand of the planter. These can be done with either an 1/8th inch bit or by starting with a 1/4 bit to mill away the bulk of material and then refining with an 1/8th inch

Mill reverse side of base
For this step you will want to flip the corian sheet over and align it to cut the reverse side of the circular puck part. This recess is to allow room for the joinery between the legs.

Mill walls of planter
These rings will make up the walls of the planter. A fishtail or square ended bit is best for this cut. This will allow the steps to turn out crisply.

glue, sand, and finish
Once your side walls are cut you can glue them together. When the glue has set you can then file the slots if needed and sand the exterior walls.
I opened the file but it only features the stand. There is no pot or am I missing something.

Can this be made with x-carve?

Can all of the Carvy projects be made on x-carve?

Yup, Easel works with X-Carve and Easel.

Colby, it says the rings make up the walls of this planter. :)

Neither of the files in the zip appear to include the rings for the planter.... at least when opened in Easel Pro.
