• OK tell the truth, what is the most number of times you misjudged the amount of wood you need for a project, and had to go get more? More than 3?

  i'm trying to figure out how much wood I need to buy for my next project. can't use cutlistoptimizer.com because it does only sheet goods and I want linear (just boards). Anybody know of an optimizer for that? Source: over 1 year ago

• Project cut list at lumber yard?

  I use http://cutlistoptimizer.com/ and it works well. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Hardest project to date...super proud of this built in closet

  I used cutlistoptimizer.com I highly recommend it. I also increase the kerf size to give me more tolerance to make sure I can rough cut it with a circular saw before I tidy those edges on the table saw. Source: almost 2 years ago

• ISO Plans for a unit like this

  I use sites like cut list optimizer to help reduce wastage of materials once I have the size I want a piece to be. Maybe that would help? Source: almost 2 years ago

• Best way of planning cuts to use the least amount of waste

  If you have a big project with lots of plywood, cutlistoptimizer.com is great. If you're working mostly in solid lumber, I do it just like you: put your cuts in a list and start dividing them into boards. It usually doesn't take that long, and sometimes there are other considerations that will make any lumber list irrelevant. Maybe a certain piece needs to be knot-free, or knot-free in the last 6", or whatever.... Source: about 2 years ago

• Best website to write a rulebook for ttrpgs

  Affinity Designer (https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/) is a good choice for doing layouts, although Scribus (https://www.scribus.net/) may be all that you need depending on the complexity of your layouts. Source: about 1 year ago

• Poster for the Church of Galactic Truths

  Done in Serif Affinity Designer as a learning execise I guess. Source: about 1 year ago

• Easy software to bubble part darwings?

  You'll need inkscape. It's free at inkscape.org. Affinity Designer can do the same job. It's $70 at https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/. Source: over 1 year ago
