Inputs
Sizes are computed from these fixed inputs: kerf (in) 0.125, max shelf span (in) 32, target (in) 30, 9.25, 36, tol (in) 2. A different gauge or stock makes a different size; the counts do not change.
Brief
“Could you make a plant stand shelf, about 30 inches wide, 9.25 deep and 30 inches tall, with three tiers in cedar boards left a natural weathered grey? The bottom shelf should be wide enough to hold a few heavy pots, and I'll be building it with basic screws.”
Checks
The counts, part sizes and placement were checked by computation on 30 September 2026 (verified on attempt 1); the piece has not yet been made by hand. If yours comes out differently, tell us and we will look at it.
