Newcomer - cupboards

I am also planning some shelves drawers and cupboards and would be interested in wisdom from people who have done it. I think the coolest part you could do with the maslow would be drawings or patterns on the surfaces as that can’t be done as easily with conventional tools. I had a lot of fun having my niece draw something in inkscape then having the machine make it on wood.

For my drawer design I want to do cool dovetails or at least interlocking edges but I think Maslow may vary by a mm or so. So I am going to do some careful calibration and scaling first and make the plans a little forgiving of small variations. I’ve been slowly working up a design that I would lace together with paracord. For me with the maslow I am thinking about what it can do better or more fun than a regular saw. For cabinets it would be worth it to me if it had surface carving. Non rectangular panels, curves, openwork or cool joinery. There are some inspiring projects in the forums ( will look up links to them when I am back on my computer) a crib with curves and openwork, curved benches. Shelves and display stands. Relief carved panels.

What are your goals for fun features?

If you have not yet wandered through it there are a lot of cool things people have made on this thread:
