How do you all plan out plywood or MDF cuts for DIY builds?
I’ve been working on a few shop and storage projects, and I kept running into the same issue — figuring out how to lay out all my cuts from 4x8 sheets without wasting a bunch of material. I tried a few online tools, but most felt super outdated, overly complicated, or paywalled. Eventually I felt like I had to just design my own solution to make the process easier. Curious what others here use — is there a trick I’ve missed, or do you just sketch it out? I’m happy to share what I came up with if anyone’s interested. submitted by /u/zekesnack [link] [comments]
