This is actually the source of the project's name, "know your project, down to the sawdust" -- Blade kerf is fully accounted for, the dimension itself is a property of each tool th…

> I also suspect there’s a fairly finite number of sane join primitives, you can have rabbets, dados, dominos, dovetails, pocket screws, etc. These could be experimented with digit…

Thanks for the kind words! NOVC [0] is kind of like "BPA Free" for saas, in my case it's a pledge that this software will remain indie and founder-led and not be subject to enshitt…

This is amazing! So cool to see people using the tool. Thank you for sharing.

Try using the export drop down menu ios/android specific AR links, that will download a file you can open natively on-device. I will debug the 'view in ar' button today, thank you …

Thanks for reporting the issue, it should be fixed now. Make sure to fully remove and then re-connect the MCP, and let me know what you think! If you like you can describe what you…

I recently added a chisel and hand saw tool and started working on adding more complex joinery types. Right now any of the frontier models can easily handle half laps and pocket ji…

Thank you, I will take a look! I think my poor little vps is getting a bit of the hn hug of death, too :)

I have a parametric bed frame procedure already! It's demoed in an example project here https://sawdust.diy/share/60d515eb-ca3f-559e-994f-56164dd1fc... click 'open the workshop vie…

Shopspec looks very cool! Love to see people building in this direction, we have at least validated for each other that the demand for a tool like this has a minimum bound of at le…

SI units are intended to be supported, but I am unfamiliar with commonly-available wood sizes in non-US markets so it is thoroughly untested and likely a bit of a disaster. Bug rep…

I got laid off at the end of April and have been building my own personal dream tool since, it's a skeuomorphic carpentry simulator with an agent MCP. You start with real wood spec…

Came here to flag the same beat. It's wild to me Terrance Tao has to pay to talk to chatgpt, you would think it would be the other way around!

This is a really cool project. Is there any way to contribute data? Hawaii's artifacts have been displaced far and wide, The British museum alone has a stunning collection that usu…

Let me share a couple demos, with the caveat that this project is very much still a beta. There's a bug report/feature request button in-app, so if you notice anything egregious fe…

It's a woodworking simulator. There are tools (tape measure, pencil, miter saw, table saw, jigsaw, drill, router) and wood stocks (2x4s, plywood). There is a chat window and human …

I've been using Qwen3.6-Plus in my carpentry-simulator agent harness. That model performs pretty well, but not at Opus 4.7 levels. I will try 3.7 Plus when the pricing is announced…

I had a similar experience recently while helping my 5 year old daughter vibe code a sandcastle-themed tower defense game ( https://sandcastles.finley.lol ). I ended up thinking it…

Don't have too much fun with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EICAR_test_file

Surely they are testing their optimizations against common benchmarks internally? I bet the "real world task" degradation is larger by some multiple than it appears when measured t…

I've noticed this and thought about it as well, I have a few suspicions: Theory 1: Some increasingly-large split of inference compute is moving over to serving the new model for in…

I can see a market for virtual copies of incredibly unpopular CEOs, but I don't think Mark would like how people would likely choose to use these digital effigies.

I've actually switched back to the web chat UI and copying Python files for much of my work because CC has been so nerfed.
