Just going thru the old posts (still looking for the best paper these
days. I remember when it changed weekly on this list....)
Anyway, the posted file with multiple boards looks nice, but a comment
I would make is to pack them more tightly together. There may not be
room for this project, but typically board houses charge for size and
there is a huge gap between boards that migh increase the total cost
by 50%.
I do understand that most of us have specific sized boards to work
with and scrap cannot be helped, so this may not apply to this
project, so, this may be more of comment for others.
Also, Home Depot sells a wet diamond tle saw for under $100 so you can
cut the boards very closely. Some people like to shear them with a
different type tool but the one benifit of the saw is in doing notches
in corners.
