Building a storage shed

Thanks you guys, great links and ideas you’ve given me here.

I think I got it, at least the part for putting the work vertically. Say I build my machine with a 4′ x 4′ work area or whatever I could simply reserve say a foot or so for a panel that could be set at any angle downward. I even begun to think of ways to setup piece at compound angles and how to setup multiple pieces at the same time to do box joint for exemple. Since I would make this panel as large as possible, 4′ for exemple in this case this would allow me to make my (angle) sliding dovetails on piece up to 4′ long.

If the work table is 4′ to 5′ from the floor this would allow me or anyone else to do tenons, dovetails or whatever on most pieces I will need without using the pit.

When I say 4′ x 4′ I’m also thinking of panels and of course half sheet of mdf, plywood or whatever.

Without going through the details of howto’s at this time, I think this relatively simple idea would allow me to work on all 6 sides of a piece of wood with acceptable limitation on the size of workable pieces. By the way I also thought of being able to setup the table at varying height under the router such that I can setup board(s) on there edge also.

Tell me what you think on these ideas, can it work, is it practical?

One thing one of you said got my attention, about this 2.5D thing, does this mean the moves or toolpaths I can program are limited to 2 axis at a time instead of something like goto (x,y,z), I could only say goto (x,y) at some z value setup before?

My experience tells me don’t waste time and money trying to build electronics controls ourself even if you think you can, I’ll follow my own advice (to myself), I’ll go with professionally build stuff and it will simplify my life greatly I’m sure.

At this time, I would be happy if I could use the CNC router to make mostly joinery, panels like this,

“complicated” moldings and things like the curved part on the bottom of this piece.

I’m sure I’ll find many other uses as time go by but I would be happy still if it could do only what I mentioned.

Following on the principle behind the advice I gave myself for the electronics I’d be looking for plans of a proven design I could build with the confidence it will work fine when I turn the power on. So I’d be more then happy to read your suggestion(s) on this as well. Before you ask, the reason I don’t buy one already build is they cost to much for the work area I’d like. One last thing for today, I haven’t ruled out a non metal construction at this time.

Many thanks again for the links and advice you already given me.
