Couch arm table

Materials

cut list

Made plan in SketchUp
- #ppp learned SketchUp!
- Made alternative plan for a version with a lip, way more complicated - overlapped half-lap joint, breadboard ends, cutouts for breadboard ends… stuck to lipless
- Still arm slope complicates it so much! Stopped groove to avoid butt joint and allow top to move independently from crossbar, pins rather than glue for same reason
Converted from SketchUp to cut list, worked decently
- learnings:
  - have a “parts” instance of each component
  - tag “parts” instances and “assembly” instances for easy show/hide
  - export as STL - assembly comes out as garbage but parts have right dimensions
  - use CutListEvo’s “import 3D model” feature, does a decent job inferring materials and part cuts
Cut out top and sides
- Didn’t cut out crossbar yet - dimensions depend on final dimension of top and sides after planing
Started truing top. One face almost good
