Steps:

1. Sourcing
1. Before leaving, stop at shop and see how many hooks can be made with existing cherry scrap.
2. Need two long, good beams of red oak that can make boards 93.5" long by 7" wide. The thicker the better.
3. Need another 93" board that can make two 3" strips (so 6" wide) unless can get 3" strips off those first boards.
4. If not using cherry, will need enough to make hooks (about 3ft of a 4/4 board that's 7" wide).
5. Need 6/4 pine (for planing down to 1.375") which is at least 6.5" wide.
6. Need pine boards to make 14 slatwall bits. These are 0.5" by 2.4375", so we can get about 12 from a 101" long 4/4 board.
7. Need pine for 6.5 x 45" blank, probably can come from other end of above.
8. Need pine for fixture (19" x 5.5"), can come from trash 2x6 from lowes or bit of above.
2. "Finish" a couple test pieces with poly (and maybe tung oil) with both red oak and oil.
3. Fixture (must have sufficient time to do all fixture parts in one run)
   1. Cut some hardwood scrap to a blank that's 1.25" wide, 8.5" long, and plane to 0.75" thick.
   2. Clamp this onto the CNC by the ends (1" clearance)
   3. Run the cam_levers program.
   4. Collect the cams, cut some 3/8" dowel post for them (around 1.375" long)
   5. Place fixture blank upon CNC, clamping carefully. Zero to correct position from corner (1.99, 1.178).
   6. Run hole drill program
   7. Finish drilling holes (not quite thru)
   8. Remove clamps, bolt down
   9. Run fixture program.
4. Run all 'chook_base'
5. Run all 'chook_flip'
6. Run all 'bhook_flip'
7. Run all 'bhook_base'
8. Finish with poly?
