Keep design decisions attached to the build

Record the plan version, final dimensions, joinery, hardware, and finish before turning them into shop tasks. A task such as cut rails is only ready when its dimensions and reference are settled.

Plan in shop-sized stages

Separate milling, cutting, dry fitting, assembly, surface preparation, finishing, and installation. Then choose the smallest useful stage for the time and setup available.

  • Batch related setup
  • Record test-piece results
  • Keep missing stock in Backlog
  • Write the exact restart operation

Use Turnboards for the changing work list

Keep drawings and detailed cut lists in their proper place. Put current build actions and short context into a Turnboards board when you want the list on your phone or shared with a project partner.

What Turnboards does—and does not do

Turnboards is a fast shared work list with boards, assignments, notes, due dates, and offline updates. It does not provide invoicing, employee scheduling, GPS tracking, or formal inspection records.

Put the next job on one clear board

Try Turnboards free. Create a board, add three real work items, and invite the person who needs the list next.

No credit card. Create your first board in minutes.
