I finally had the courage to try out the passthrough slot.

\n

It’s my daughter’s birthday this week, and I decided to make a bunk bed for her room. Of course, being who I am, I can’t just make a simple bed. I had to add some decorations to it.

\n

I used the passthrough to make a panel that fits at the top of the bed with some animals on it.

I did not draw those animals. I found them on iStock: https://www.istockphoto.com/ca/vector/woodland-animals-border-set-gm672368714-123212259

\n

I had to do a lot of work to clean the vector up, and to cut the file up into separate chunks that I could use with the passthrough. I also figured out a way to draw registration marks on the piece so I could line up the next cut.

\n

It’s all cut out of the same piece of Baltic Birch plywood I bought locally. I cut all the animals out, then stained, sanded and varnished each piece separately. I then glued them all onto a backer piece of plywood, and added a second coat of varnish.

\n

She’s really happy with the outcome, and her new bed. And now, I’m much more comfortable with the passthrough.
