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
“I need an entryway bench about 30 inches wide, 9.25 inches deep and 18 inches tall, with one open shelf underneath for baskets. I'd like it stained a dark walnut colour, and the seat should be a single wide board.”
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.
