I just need to work up the stones to cut a hole in my table and drop it in…otherwise huge should out to RockingMallet up above as the design is great! I made some very minor tweaks but it came out great. ![IMG_9818](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/b/6/b690d257bdb3121fe6b5d0740b1d99f8ae2d3061.jpeg) edit: I also need to mill up the side supports as well once its dropped in. ---

Hi, did you say you could post the file, would love to try these out. Just added a vertical clamping to my elite journeyman and looking for projects. ---

Wow, just realized I have not looked at these joints for over a year. Apparently, I did try to redo the bird’s eye joint file now using Vcarve pro 12.5. I’ll try to load it, recall having problems doing so, but will give it a try. I do remember very tight fits…..hope this works.

Hi, I don’t suppose you’re willing to share the file for this are you? I been working on a vertical clamping for my elite Journeyman that will fit between the slats on the QCW and this looks perfect. ---

I dont really have an issue but it originally came from @RockingMallet and I want to make sure he is good with it since I know he also sells some files as well. ---

Thanks so much, I don’t have an issue if he sells it, I’m happy to buy, if you can let me know where to get it that would be great. ---

Working on my Journeyman table design like yours and would like to incorporate the vertical clamping. Any possibility to get your clamping file? ---

Thank you! The file looks good. It has some “balloons” pointing to items. I’ve not seen that before in Fusion. What are they? ---

F3d is a Fusion 360 file format. If you are not familiar with Fusion, you can download the free version for personal use, though like most software, there is a bit of a learning curve to it. In Fusion, you are able to turn on/off each element then export them for use in software like Vcarve. I’m waiting on my Gen2 Foreman so I haven’t carved any of them yet. That said though, the design looks to be spot on for the approach and flexibility I was looking for. Much thanks to RockingMallet! ---

Well its 2026 now and here is another one. I took some design elements I’d seen here for the dogs and also a Moxon vise. The difference is I built a custom table for my Gen2 (actually rebuilt because it was originally built for the X35). It has a notch. This makes it more accessible than the trap door approach that leaves a table structural member in the way, or the approach to let your machine hang over the front which reduces your cutting area. When not in use a piece of spoilboard covers the notch. First try worked really well. The Moxon vice eliminates any chance of the workpiece moving, which is a real concern on the powerful Gen2 machines. ![IMG_6538](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/3/9/3983c9c8abb3cb892570cc77b154841db35ca6e1.jpeg) ![IMG_6539](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/4/8/489ba41f6c39ab382cc7492bc203d4bffb2b98db.jpeg) ---

Howdy @12OaksWoodworking , any chance that you could share the vCarve version of this design. Even if its not totally complete, I sure would appreciate the head start. Thanks @RockingMallet for all your hard work on this design too, it really looks incredible! ---

How did you align the 2 perpendicular directions of your vertical “table” to your horizontal table? [Previous page](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/show-us-your-vertical-clamping-methods/9035.md?page=3)
