Get ready to level up your shop or home with this versatile flat pack project! In this lesson, we dive deep into designing modular, "screw-less" furniture that is completely scalable. Whether you need a 24-inch bench for the mudroom or a compact step stool to help the kids reach the kitchen sink, this project has you covered.

You will learn how to transition a design from SketchUp into Vectric software, or how to build the parts from scratch using guidelines, the fillet tool, and advanced alignment techniques. We specifically focus on creating perfect-fitting joinery using "dog bone" fillets so your parts slide together for a sturdy, professional finish without the need for fasteners. This project is beginner-friendly, great for making handmade gifts, and can be completed in Aspire, VCarve, or Cut2D!
