In this video, woodworker Rob Sandstrom goes over the process of how to make snap together joinery for furniture pieces, shelves, storage racks, and more on a CNC. Follow along to build your own storage shelf in this beginner software tutorial and implement your knowledge on more elaborate woodworking projects. We begin using VCarve Pro 11 vectric software to establish the design and cut specifications and end on our benchtop CNC router before final assembly.
