the original design with English Dimensions was made by Arnoce .

I took the original concept behind the kerf design and made it with my own dimensions .

it was made by Solidworks and the file was exported into .dxf file to be cut in the laser cutter program .

the funny process with varying alot between power and speed of the laser cutter , and as it was the first time to use a laser cutter , I experienced a lot of exhaustion in know the best power and speed needed to cut properly , the speed was 15 , power 70 for a 3mm wooden sheet .

the final result was with a good smoky smelled compared with some wasted pieces , some was engraved in the sheet and some was so weak in the kerf hinges which was destroyed with a small bend .
