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.
Show Your Build Friday #3 drops this Friday, September 25 at 8:30 AM EDT. Clean up those job sites and get your photos ready! 🔨⚡
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:
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.
I'm nominating @RDClark with #1577320
Small Kitchen Installation (quartz)
This was a small kitchen we worked on but didn’t have chance to post.
Well not what you are looking for, but I am just gonna share it anyway
Built a Compre Cloze Wordle that combines fun with reading instructional strategies
Provided prompts to Base44
Both my students and my son are enjoying it haha
Hahahahaha
