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
“Can you plan a small bench for my mudroom, 30 in wide, 9 1/4 in deep and 18 in tall, with a lower shelf for baskets? I want the seat in natural pine and the frame painted sage green.”
Checks
The counts, part sizes and placement were checked by computation on 29 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.
