AI Woodworking Planner for Claude | Cut List, Board Feet and Joinery Helper | Digital Download

From sketch to cut list before you touch the saw.

Cut & Joint turns Claude into the furniture maker friend who checks your design for wood movement, sizes your joinery, writes the cut list, nests your plywood and tells you what order to build in.

This is a digital download of AI skills for Claude, the AI assistant by Anthropic. A skill is a set of expert instructions you add to your own Claude account. Nothing to print, no app to learn.

• Bonus: the Cut List skill
• Start Here guide (PDF) with two-minute setup steps

TRY ASKING
"Write the cut list for this bookcase." "How many sheets of plywood?" "What finish for a cutting board?"

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT DOES
• Real movement numbers: Species coefficients and seasonal moisture swings, not rules of thumb.
• Measure the real stock: 3/4 in plywood is often 23/32 in. Dados and cut lists account for it.
• Safe technique, always: Riving knives, push sticks and the safer way to make awkward cuts. It never tells you to pull a guard.
• Plans for your tools: Pocket jig or mortise and tenon, track saw or table saw. It works with what's in your shop.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Download your 3 files right after purchase (2 skill ZIPs and the Start Here PDF).
2. In Claude, open Customize, then Skills, click +, choose Upload a skill and pick each ZIP. Keep them zipped.
3. Start a new chat and ask: "I want to build a 36 in wide bookcase from 3/4 in plywood. Check my design and write the cut list."

WHAT YOU NEED
• A Claude account (claude.ai). The free plan works: turn on code execution in Settings, Capabilities.
• This is a digital file. No physical item will be shipped.
