This was created with the P2 and have settings associated with that machine. If you are using a different machine, be aware that you may need to adjust for that machine accordingly. This includes the fact that this was using a 12"x19" board and so you will need to adjust the board size by removing part of it which will reduce the number of boards you can display.

Be aware that I have made this using both MDF and Birch. The steps are the exact same for either but the cut settings are different. The settings included here are the settings I used for 1/8" birch. The material settings for MDF provided by xTool work perfect for the MDF from Smokey Hill Designs. Be sure of the settings you are using by running a test grid if you are not sure.

This was a file created for displaying 12 decorative cutting boards with a width of at most 5.25" and a thickness of at most ½". If you are needing any different sized larger holes, you can create your own sized rectangles and overlap the ones displayed and subtract it from the board. Just be sure you do the same to both the top and bottom boards and that they line up. You can ensure they line up by making the top and bottom boards different colors and overlapping them, centering them, and then create 2 larger rectangles making each one the same color as one of the boards. Then overlap them and center them. Then place those rectangles over the hole you want to enlarge. Select the color you want and then use the subtract feature. HINT: Make a copy of the rectangles when you have them selected, centered and colored different colors to place over the other holes.

Using the canvas with the legs, cut your pieces out. Slide the bottom piece into the top piece as shown in the photo. Then place superglue into the corners at the very bottom on all four sides as shown in the photo. Do not extend the glue above the bottom portion as it will make it difficult to add the plates on in the next steps. Do this for all 6 legs before proceeding to the next step.

Press the legs into the cross holes on the bottom plate. The bottom plate has the large crosses. When the board stops on the leg and is resting on the shelf of the leg, then that leg is set. It may take a slight bit of pressure to push the legs on but it will go. If you extended the glue above the bottom shelf when you did step one, then it may make it even harder to push the leg through or you may have to chip a bit of the glue away.

Press the top plate on to the legs. The top plate has the smaller cross holes. When the top plate stops on the shelf of the leg, it is set. See the photo. After you do each leg, a portion of the leg will protrude from the top. Put a small amount of glue at the corner of each part of the cross. See the photo. Let dry. Do this with each leg.

Included with this file is 8 cutting board faces that were considered a few of my most popular that were not purchased from an outside source. 

Using the settings here gets you a very dark engrave without pretreating the wood if you do these on bamboo.

Full disclosure here. I did not do any of the art but they were found as free svg files at various places online. I did do the wording and designs/layout of each, however. In the cases of wording, I used XCS fonts.
