I built this super simple DIY modern baby gate (or pet gate) to keep my little dude from taking a tumble down the stairs! This was a back to basics build and could easily be completed with a miter saw, drill, and sander.

With these new upgrades, I can cut pieces up to 4 inches thick on the X-Carve, at speeds I was previously unable to achieve!

I built a live edge sliding barn door from an Ambrosia maple slab! I took a smaller slab, ripped it down the middle, and added more boards in the middle to fill it out. Since I paid close attention to grain continuity, the finished door has the illusion of one larger slab, at a much lower price point.
