That design seems to be for .250 material, at least that is what I measure the slots as.

Pete, maybe the slots are 1/4" wide but only 1/8" deep for 1/8" material? Cut one, it should go together.Originally Posted by Peter Meacham
If it doesn't work, let me know please. It might be a file that Tim sent me...

Skip is correct. The depth is 1/8 or more accurately from 1/8 to 17/128.

Really? 17/128 is .132" All of the depths were supposed to be .120"

Yes - Wood is seldom the exact thickness. So I prefer to sand any overlap flush rather than occasionally being short. As I work these projects, I've been slightly increasing this depth behond 1/8 to compensate for the variable thickness.

It doesn't help with the "artistic" part of the job, but there's this oldie-but-goodie for generating the raw box:

For oddball stuff, I use the 'democube' option (it's the only one that puts joints on all twelve edges). Then do a 'break curves apart' to get edge components of whatever size that fit tightly together.
Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
