2 in 1 Learning tower for kids
Instruction
A 2 in 1 learning tower for our little girl.
The file contains all required parts for reference.
I only lasered 4 parts, I just cut the rest with a table saw. You can use any circular saw to cut the pieces. You will need a router to route the templates to the exact measurements.
A tutorial is provided for reference.
Hope you'll like it!
Lasercut the required design files.
You will only need to cut the
- “Table-side”
- “Bench-side”
- “Bench-Tabletop”
The other pieces are just rectangles that can be cut with any saw.
The “Bench-side” comes in 2 pieces.
I do not own an automatic conveyor feeder for P2 and it doesn't seem we can order them in the EU. Wish I could get my hands on one of those! :D
Next best option is to glue and nail both pieces together.
Use some double sided tape to tape the template to your 18 mm Multiplex. I used Grade 1 Oak, because, well, I love great Oaks!
Next mark out the templates with a pencil on your workpieces and drill some pilot holes to cut the inside rectangles.
Cut all workpieces as close to the pencil line as possible. Both inside and outside edges need to be cut.
Use some double sided tape to combine the templates to your workpieces once more. Use a router to route all the workpieces to the exact size of their template.
- Mark out the holes with a punch
- Drill 8mm holes, 6mm deep
- Clamp everything together and drill pilot holes for the mounting screws
- Screw them together
Plug the holes with some contrasting wood. I used Wenge plugs as I had them lying around. Flush cut the plugs and sand everything to achieve a perfect finish.
I used some Rubio Monocoat - Cotton white to finish the piece. It's a 2 component finisher. Mix accordingly and simply rub in the oil with a cloth, leave it to rest for 5 minutes and whipe of any excess oil. It's a great workout, believe me!
