Welcome back to Show Your Build Friday in ~Construction_and_Engineering!

Physical trades and hands-on engineering are the ultimate real-world proof-of-work, and we reward it with real sats.

Week #1 Recap:
Huge congrats to @SimpleStacker for winning last week's inaugural 5,000 sat bounty with their 20x20 classroom build in Baja—pure manpower, concrete slab prep, and manual roof-panel pivoting!

Show Your Build Friday #2 is officially wrapped! ⚡🏆

Congrats to @Machiavelli23 for taking down this week's 5,000 sat reward with the quartz kitchen installation! Clean craftsmanship and authentic trade proof-of-work.

(Since the native bounty toggle wasn't clicked when publishing, the 5,000 sats have been zapped directly to your comment!)

Honorable mention to @89ac14cd66 for building CutCraft—a practical workshop utility for woodworkers and sheet-goods layout planning.

Thank you!
We’ll see what I can come up with for Friday

Built CutCraft this weekend — an offline-first sheet-goods cut planner for workshop projects.

The problem I wanted to solve was turning a cabinet or panel cut list into usable stock-sheet layouts while accounting for blade kerf.

Technical breakdown:

  • Single-file browser application built with vanilla JavaScript, HTML and CSS
  • Heuristic best-fit guillotine packing with optional 90° rotation
  • Supports multiple stock sheets, kerf spacing and piece quantities
  • Calculates material utilization and waste
  • Generates labeled workshop layouts using Canvas
  • Works offline and stores the current plan locally

The main design hurdle was finding a useful placement quickly while keeping the visual output readable. It is a heuristic rather than an industrial nesting solver, so grain direction, edge trim, clamping clearance and real workshop tolerances must still be verified before cutting.

Tested with standard 2440 × 1220 mm sheets.

A working prototype is complete. A live demo can be shared on request.
