I have been asked to make two adirondack chairs. Thats 44 different sized planks. if I get the timber wrong I could easily be losing money. Any programmes to organise for mimimal waste?

Panic over, the local woodyard did all the calculating and cutting for me.

He charged me 15 euros (23 canadian), but I saved more than that in waste

So what kind wood are you using? I think it would be a fun project but I hate sitting in them. My dad made a pair of Adirondack chairs and I didn't like to sit in them and I was a boy.

Design software with cut list report

:wink:I use "Sketchlist 3D" (check out SketchList dot com) to design or modify designs of furniture and other projects. It has an "Optimized Cut List" report that works really well.

I am a software cave man. If I cant see it and touch it, it aint real.
I tried sketchup twice, almost totalled the computer a similar number.

I dont honestly know the name of the timber, its just construction white wood.

Heres the one I made first, followed by a love seat to match.
These are very comfortable, I get compliments anytime someone sits in them.
I had to persuade this customer to sit in the chair, he was asking for cushions. Within 2 minutes of sitting in it he ordered two for himself.

Nice job. I find them comfortable to sit in but hard to get out of these days
