What do I need

The shopping list: sheets, edge banding and hardware with quantities and guide prices, calculated from your own plan.

Opening the list

The What do I need button sits in the icon bar above the cutting plan (wide layout) or with the display buttons (narrow layout). Without a plan yet it says Make a cutting plan first.

The list has three parts: Sheets, Edge banding and Hardware. What is in it follows from your project; there is nothing to count yourself.

The three parts

Sheets
How many sheets of which kind. Calculated from your cutting plan. If you use your offcut stock, it says Calculated from your cutting plan, offcuts subtracted. and each row shows 2 from stock.
Edge banding
How many metres of banding you need: 21 ft edge banding. Edges already on the sheet are already subtracted. See Grain and edge banding.
Hardware
Counts follow from your cabinet; you choose the exact type. Hinges, drawer slides, shelf supports, handles, rails and wall anchors. See Drawers, doors and hardware.

About the prices

A guide price follows the sheets when you picked one from the library or entered a price yourself: estimate from $ 48.00 or from $ 48.00 ea. With nothing there you see price unknown or varies per store.

Below the list it says how much of it is priced: 4 of 6 sheets priced. So you know whether the total means anything or is only half the story.

Note Prices are indicative (DIY store); type and store determine the price. Take the list as a guide, not as a quote.

Taking it to the store

Three ways: Copy as text puts the list on your clipboard as text (you get Copied ✓ as confirmation), Print or PDF puts it on paper, and in the PDF you tick Shopping list with prices. See Export and print.

If copying fails, the tool says so: Couldn't copy, please select and copy manually.
