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.

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.
