Information

      Book Keeper / Nightstand Organizer
I was inspired by designs I found online and decided to create something special for my wife. Here are the results. Using the Xtool Creative Space, I infused my design with graphics I had previously purchased. I encourage you to add your own images to make this project truly personal for its recipient. Please Share any remixes of this one!

Verify the correct settings for your machine. I ran this project on the S1-20W. Feel free to adjust the power and speeds to your needs. Add any graphics on the backer front / a monogram in the cupholder (bottom base), and an optional graphic in the space next to the cup holder cut out ( top).

4

Step4

Run the project, approx 45 minutes of runtime. The etching could vary your time. 

5

Step5

Remove the project pieces and lay out the base pieces in order. 

6

Step6

Assemble the base pieces together and glue up. I used superglue and ensured the tabs were lined up before placing some weight on the base assembly. To save some time, this could be done while running the backer pieces. 

7

Step7

Assemble the backer in the same manner as the base, gluing up and ensuring the tabs are aligned. 

8

Step8

Insert the backer tabs into the base with a drop of superglue on each tab.

9

Step9

Finish with a light coat of clearcoat poly.
