Cutting Board Design Software

[mxracer]

I am making some cutting boards for presents this year and was searching for some tips, tricks, patterns on the web and found a cool piece of FREE software. :wsmile:

It's been real handy in spec-ing out the patterns and gives you all the cuts and boards you need for both edge grain and end grain boards.

Here's the link to the software if anyone is interested.

This is great. I tried making a cutting board a while back when I first started. It ended badly. :BangHead: I will be downloading this and using very soon.

Thanks for the link, it appears that even someone as mathematically and spatially challenged as me could use the software. :gar-La;

If you're a cutting board newbie like me, you might want to watch the Woodwhisperer's video (parts 1 and 2): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5B8oAJs3sik

When this come up to download an I suppose to "run" it or "save" it :icon_scra

Phil,

You can do either actually. If you choose run it will unzip it wherever you tell it to and that's it, nothing more you really need to do. If you save it somewhere to your machine then you can just go to that place and unzip it. The only "advantage" to that is if something happens and you need to install it again (or make another copy) you don't have to download it.
