Build instructions
Apart from the workpiece you need nothing else.
Carving and finishing
- Clamp the workpiece flat on the spoilboard or secure it with double-sided tape, and set the origin as shown in the carving assistant.
- Carve the hex pockets 12 mm deep with the 3.175 mm end mill; the round corners are reliefs for the edges of the bits. Then engrave the lettering and cut out the block.
- Free the parts at the holding tabs with a utility knife or fine saw and sand the tab remains flush.
- Test-fit a bit: if it is too tight, increase the clearance and carve the pockets again (the origin stays).
Assembly and final touches
- Fix the block to the workbench or wall with double-sided tape or two screws from below.
- Finally oil, wax or varnish; for toys use oils or varnishes that are saliva-resistant according to EN 71-3.
