How the engine worked it out

  • Selwood comes in 8'-0" and 10'-0" sheets. Trimmed square, the longest panel a sheet gives is 9'-11 1/2". Any run longer than that is split into equal panels, so the joints sit symmetrically, and each panel is cut from the shortest sheet that holds it.

  • Front face in 3 panels. The transaction-height face from 0'-0" to 12'-0" is 12'-0", over 9'-11 1/2", so it is 2 panels of 6'-0" from 8'-0" stock. Sheet joint J1. The face steps down at the accessible section, so the panels change there too: joint J2.

  • Work surface in 2 pieces. The main run's work surface is 16'-0", over 9'-11 1/2", so it is 2 pieces of 8'-0" from 10'-0" stock (an 8'-0" sheet trims to 7'-11 1/2"). Joint J4, shown on the plan.

  • Lintel quartz, Tarn needs 1 joint. The transaction top from 0'-0" to 12'-0" is 12'-0", over 10'-5 1/2", so it is 2 pieces of 6'-0" from 10'-6" stock. Joint J3.

  • Counter steps down to 34". Over 4'-0" at the right end of the main run, the 42" transaction top drops to an accessible counter at 34", the most this rule allows, over at least 3'-0". The face panels below it are shorter and change at each end of the section.

Cut list

Every panel at its finished size, marked like the drawings, with the stock it’s cut from and the edges that are banded or finished. Joints are called out below it, then the totals by material.
