Is there a site or program were you can type in your demensions and it will give you a 4x8 layout of your cuts? I tryed using google sketchup but could not figure it out

i think it was RE audio .com that had not a program, but a guide of how to sketch it by hand. I saw it and thought "this is stupid" but it was actually helpful and saved me some extra MDF but you have to actually sketch it yourself.

sketch is teh easy. make a sheet 4x8, then use the square tool to the size you need. and just place them all how ever u need.

The only reason I want to make a cutsheet is because I live in a apartment and I have to have all my cutting done at HD.Last time I tryed to have them cut my pieces they said some bullshit about not being able to make that many cuts because of rules.So I was thinking if I had a cutsheet all layed out for them they would geet off there lazy *** because they dont have to do much measuring and I wouldnt lose out on wood

Don't count on HD cuts being precise

lowes and home depot dont do PROJECT cuts. they cut down to size so you can fit them into cars trunks etc.

maybe you can get off your lazy *** and cut the wood yourself?

i remember working at lowes and *****es like you would want us to cut out whole **** cabinets and shelves for them. what the fuck do you think lowes and home depot are? you want a whole **** box cut out precise, go to a cabinet builder and ask them to cut it and pay them their prices.

He said he lives in an apartment so he can't do the cuts himself, *******.

And to the OP, just take it to a cabinet shop and they should do it for you fairly cheap.

Like I said I live an a apartment,And dont have the spare cash to have someone build it for me or do the cuts.I think they should change there policy so people in my pos.can do there projects without having to pay someone to do it

Thats another problem,I dont have a truck or now someone that has one,so if that was the case I would have to rent one at a cost I can not afford
