Mistakes were made...

 

The nice thing about CNC is that you can pre-plan you dimensions, create 3D images of the various pieces, model them in place, and *know¨ that what you have drawn will most likely probably fit together flawlessly... 

Until you do something like change the model of cooler you have designed for, andddd... the cooler you bought is 2 inches taller than the one you drew the plan around, and... there was just enough clearance build in for the old one. So a quick trip thru the CNC to make a 3/4¨ slot template, a trip to Rockler for a top bearing 1/2¨ router pattern bit, a little dark stained cherry, and Bob's yer uncle.  One of my shop buddies is fond of saying '' no such thing as a mistake, just an opportunity for an accent feature''  So there's now an ¨accent strip¨ under the counter in back!
