Drawer fronts in board foot listing

[Gene Kimmi]

I am using the Conestoga Slab drawer front for my default front. Is there any way to have these figured into the total board foot in the cutlist?

Also, is there any way to use board stock in the drawer boxes?

not sure on first question
2nd question: if you go into drawer designer. load drawer, rt click. hit construction settings , you can change material type there.

I may be mistaking but I thought the door material was added to the materials list if the build in house was selected.

I tried it and no go. Maybe something went wrong or I was day dreaming again.

Michael,

The materials for doors built in-house is added into the board footage used and parts are listed in the cutlist. In-house built drawer fronts show up on the cutlist but the material is not added to the board footage used. Maybe it is just the front I am using that won't add to the footage? I was wondering if there is a way to have this included like the door material is.

Eddie,

The material that is in the construction settings for drawers is the sheet stock. Is there a way to use the board stock in here? We build all drawers out of solid wood, so it would be nice to have a cutlist to reflect this.

I would also like to say that if every product we used was as accommodating as e-cabinets, its message board, and members, life would almost be too easy. Thanks alot everyone.

Gene,
I create a sheet stock called Oak lumber or Maple lumber and price it accordingly. I just look at it as a glued up panel and use a sheet size that fits.
You can then add the board footage of this sheet stock to your lumber calculation.

Hi Newbie here.

Is there no way to use solid wood for drawer fronts? The material list in the drawer front designer uses only sheet goods as an option. I see the last post as a workaround by pricing out a sheet as if it was solid. Is there another way to do this?

I use solid wood for the Drawer boxes and Fronts, The wordaround will work for the Drawer boxes and will show up in the
sheet goods but the Slab Drawer Fronts will not and will not be added to the material list, Only the 5 piece Drawer fronts will be added to the board stock list. Maybe this should be added to the wish list. It would help us that uses sold wood drawer
a lot.
