Making Cubiko -Step 3


It is essential to store your 'Cubiko sized' pieces of wood correctly. Sapele will ready warp so store them flat, under weight, in a place that has constant temperature and humidity. I use the cupboard under the stairs which is ideal. Step 3 is to get the pieces to be 246mm square and 18mm thick. So I send the pieces through my thicknesser taking off about a millimetre on each pass (Photo of thicknesser here). I also cut the pieces again but across their width this time to make them 246mm square. I keep the off-cuts and use them for the sides of the component box. (Which tomorrows step 5 entry)
