The Pumpkin Shelf Digital Download is a file that allowed me to finally try my hand at kerf cutting. I am really happy with the way it came out. I am, as always, very thankful for all of the new users and encourage everyone to join the conversation and put in some requests in my Facebook group, Glowforge Creators.

This is what it looks like.

Assembly is pretty easy but may require some finess.

Some details

The pumpkin shelf is a fun little seasonal design. This file was made for wood supplied from Ocooch Hardwoods but I often use https://amzn.to/3oyG8Xq #ad. The shelf is currently dimensioned for material that is .125 inches thick.

Most of the files I create come in different sizes but this file is a little different. This is my first attempt at publishing a kerf cut file and adjusting the size will lead to some complications. I am willing to try for some variations but you will have to bear with me, pun intended.

If you have been following along with product recommendations, I tried the same new tape . The tape is from here https://amzn.to/3Nt9d0E #ad. Again, it does NOT adhere as well as other products and that is partially what I like about it. You will definitely want something for the kerf cut pieces because sanding it sucks!


Some dimensions

The material thickness this is dimensioned for is 1/8 inch (.125) and it works great.

The entire design is ~10 inches wide, ~8 inches tall, and ~2 inches deep.

I used about 1.5 sheets of standard 12 by 20 laser material to make mine. It will depend on whether or not you want to use the face piece.
