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, offline updates, and Backlog, Active, and Complete statuses. It does not provide automated recurring checklists, photo-proof reports, invoicing, employee scheduling, GPS tracking, or formal inspection records.
