Put in some dogbone joints and cut out the prototype.</p>\n<img src=\"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/1000x/https%3A%2F%2Fpauldefazio.micro.blog%2Fuploads%2F2026%2Flayout2.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" alt=\"A white-lined drawing of the flat pieces of a piece of furniture. It's a box, which can be used as a table or to prop up a piece of furniture. It's actually 33 by 33 inches, which is the size of this small foam floor-couch that I have. So if you attach two of these together it could hold up the couch. And the side piece has three different possible heights, so it can be a low, medium, or high box. The whole thing is design to be put together with tension cords and assembled or disassembled like a puzzle, without any glue or nails. Oh, and of course the dogbone joint is when the CNC, which is a spinning router, cuts the wood it creates a circular cut. This is a little hard to describe just through an image description so maybe there's a way you can actually find a piece of wood cut by a CNC to really feel this... But the dogbone is a dogbone shaped joint, which is meant to deal with that. It's sort of like the icon of a dogbone, but it's just the easiest shape to cut that allows for a flush joint. So the point of the caption is: stop worrying about trying to find some way to prevent a dogbone joint and just use the joint, because it's going to make your life so much easier. Whew, that was hard to describe, hopefully I can be more clear and concise next time *wink* \" loading=\"lazy\">\n","summary":"","url":"https://pauldefazio.micro.blog/2026/05/24/psa-for-all-who-need.html","date_published":"2026-05-24T20:32:19+00:00","author":{"name":"Paul DeFazio","url":"https://pauldefazio.micro.blog/","avatar":"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/96/https%3A%2F%2Favatars.micro.blog%2Favatars%2F2026%2F21%2F1883546.jpg","_microblog":{"username":"PaulDeFazio"}},"_microblog":{"date_relative":"2026-05-24 20:32","date_timestamp":1779654739,"is_favorite":false,"is_bookmark":false,"is_deletable":false,"is_conversation":false,"is_linkpost":false,"is_mention":false,"note":"","syndication":[]}},{"id":"90773616","content_html":"<p>Two design podcasts I enjoyed this week: Design Emergency’s <a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/co/podcast/on-crafts/id1655108265?i=1000768730894\">selection of case-studies on contemporary craft</a>, and 99% Invisible’s l<a href=\"https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/658-the-em-dash/\">ong and winding history of the em das</a>h</p>\n","summary":"","url":"https://pauldefazio.micro.blog/2026/05/23/two-design-podcasts-i-enjoyed.html","date_published":"2026-05-23T14:31:52+00:00","author":{"name":"Paul DeFazio","url":"https://pauldefazio.micro.blog/","avatar":"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/96/https%3A%2F%2Favatars.micro.blog%2Favatars%2F2026%2F21%2F1883546.jpg","_microblog":{"username":"PaulDeFazio"}},"_microblog":{"date_relative":"2026-05-23 14:31","date_timestamp":1779546712,"is_favorite":false,"is_bookmark":false,"is_deletable":false,"is_conversation":true,"is_linkpost":false,"is_mention":false,"note":"","syndication":[]}},{"id":"90718653","content_html":"<p>Two constellation drawings experimenting with high and low contrast</p>\n<div class=\"microblog_collection\">\n<img src=\"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/1000x/https%3A%2F%2Fpauldefazio.micro.blog%2Fuploads%2F2026%2Fimg-4553-1.jpg\" width=\"474\" height=\"600\" alt=\"Points on a map, circled stars, floating symbols, all in the deepest darkest night. \" loading=\"lazy\"><img src=\"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/1000x/https%3A%2F%2Fpauldefazio.micro.blog%2Fuploads%2F2026%2Fimg-4553.jpg\" width=\"473\" height=\"600\" alt=\"Points on a map, circles and lines, all the hazy background of the collective light of many tiny stars. \" loading=\"lazy\">\n</div>\n","summary":"","url":"https://pauldefazio.micro.blog/2026/05/22/two-constellation-drawings-experimenting-with.html","date_published":"2026-05-22T17:00:32+00:00","author":{"name":"Paul DeFazio","url":"https://pauldefazio.micro.blog/","avatar":"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/96/https%3A%2F%2Favatars.micro.blog%2Favatars%2F2026%2F21%2F1883546.jpg","_microblog":{"username":"PaulDeFazio"}},"_microblog":{"date_relative":"2026-05-22 17:00","date_timestamp":1779469232,"is_favorite":false,"is_bookmark":false,"is_deletable":false,"is_conversation":false,"is_linkpost":false,"is_mention":false,"note":"","syndication":[]}},{"id":"90717458","content_html":"<p>Showed a book by <a href=\"https://www.moma.org/artists/33693-irma-boom\">Irma Boom</a> to low vision specialist today.
