This is the bracing - it required 1 extra 2x4 x8ft.
Notice it’s a Y shape with a cross brace at the top.
The rest of the wood there shown is the 2x4 x 10ft 's cut for the final build. Once I’ve got to cut my sled I’ll document everything. The exact locations and the sizes.
Yes, both Logan (@pillageTHENburn) and I have posted links to our design files. If you can give me
to the weekend, I’m going to see about doing a wiki page on the different
designs.
We have different frame designs, and different sled designs, and finding the
details in 700+ thread forum threads is not easy.
FYI - I think both kits should be posted in the swap meet area.
Here’s an early post with a chart that shows the 4 original concepts and which measurements are important. The drawings on the chart are just for general reference, they are not to scale. It explains most of the critical relationships between different bars in the linkages.
Here’s my original test drawing of a top mounted design:
And here is my original 45˚ design drawing:
Both designs use the same principal of a parallelogram to trace a concentric circle around the router. The biggest mechanical difference between the two is probably that the joints in the top mounted design are under both compression and tension and joints in the 45˚ design are all under tension.
I’m really curious how @Gero 's ‘triquad’ setup holds up to the test…
Next time you have this out on the driveway, would you mind posting a photo that shows this bracing head on? I’m about 1 day behind you in my build and I’d like to add some bracing as well.
This will be today provide it doesn’t rain. Yesterday had to be about getting the plumbing in the house happy again. I’m back at it today.
Life was simpler when a bucket in the backyard was good enough. Those spouses and kids sure want a lot.
Hundred year plus farmhouse here, know way more about plumbing than I expected to have to
So some quick pictures of my progress - I will be writing up the information on the framing in a post later tonight.
I did a little cable management at the end. I need to counter sink some bolts and I need screws to mount the router. I also need to mount the Z axis. Progress is being made.
Tip : if you have an Ikea close by -
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20302332/
$4.99
The 2nd hole saw is 2½" the same size as the hole in the Rigig router.
BTW Does anyone have ugraded/‘pirated’ Ikea designs? Would be cool if we could improve upon the swedish designs and eventually share it back to them in an open repository. 
I hear IKEA is in the process to let the customers scan their shopped items DIY style rendering jobs obsolete for the cashiers. So maybe we can make it more easy for them and just build some of their furniture at home. Then they don’t even have to produce it any more.
O dear, I went sideways on the topic.
BTW The $5 holesaw set is a great find. If I get near an Ikea i’ll try to remember this tip.
My apologies
for those looking for my tem frame bracing please see:
Tip number 2 - I’m going to use Bees Wax on my sled. I’m also considering replacing the bricks with water bottles for adjustability.
I wonder if plastic skid plate might be worth investing in?
Here is an idea - ~$15
And for those of you on wood sleds- beeswax
I have someone cut off from laminated countertops that I’m going to make sled from
what about mounting that router + z axis on the sled? 
BTW what’s the typenumber of that one?
So I made lots of progress today. I have the basic setup and calibration done. In theory it is ready to cut. Monday I will add the Z axis. Then switch to working on the final sled design. My linkage should be on it’s way today. I also have an idea for a triangular sled design.
I did have about an hour of my day go out the window due to a faulty powerstrip. Once over that speed bump it was smooth sailing.
I added a Parts/Shtuff holder & a Pencil holder.
Once I’m done I’m writing a book. I have a grip of little tips to make it easier to build.
Enjoy! Thank you
