The next cut is the biggest thing on screen.

The guide takes you through the plan one step at a time. On a cutting step the length to cut is set large, with the part's tag and the board it comes from.

  • A drawing for every step, from the same model as the cutting list.
  • Tips and safety notes where the step needs them.
  • Progress drawn as a dimension line and saved at every step.
The guide on step 1 of 12 of the Slatted Storage Crate: cut the long slats, with 610 mm set as the largest thing on the screen, the step drawing below and a red Next button.

Know what to buy and what to cut.

Every plan has a shopping list of boards and fixings, and a cutting list of every part, grouped by the board it comes from.

  • Each part keeps one tag, one colour and one number in the list, the drawing and the step.
  • Tick a part off when it is cut, and see how many part types are done.
  • The total board length, so you buy what the plan needs.

Parts of the crate CO-001
  • Part 1 Long slat
  • Part 2 End slat
  • Part 3 Bottom slat
  • Part 4 Corner post

23 pieces in 4 part types

Drawn from one model, so every number agrees.

Each plan has dimensioned plans, an exploded view and a drawing for every step. They come from the same model as the lists, so a size on the drawing is the size on the list.

  • An exploded view with every part tagged as it is in the cutting list.
  • Dimensioned front, side and top views, and the finished piece drawn whole.
  • Blue for measurement, timber for the parts, red for the work of the step.

Watch the build before you pick up a saw.

The player runs the plan step by step. Each new part glides into place on the drawing, so you see how it goes together before you start.

  1. The player on step 8 of 12: the two end frames of the crate drawn with their part tags and screw marks.

    Step 8 of 12

  2. The player on step 9 of 12: the long slats join the end frames, which are drawn in grey as parts already in place.

  • Change it any time in the settings.
  • Board sizes follow too.
  • The PDF prints in the units you chose.
