Today...using CG to create "plans" for a wooden storage cabinet.
One thing I find with making furniture is that some tools are in imperial, but I also work in metric, so way to easy to convert things wrong. Which is where C5 comes in, it allows me to create a part in inches then change the measurement to CM.
Also by being able to visualise things before getting hands on, I can see straight away that things are the right size, or that it will fit. Thus - hopefully -less wasted wood.
In theory having accurate plans should allow the use of accurate tools, such as digital calipers. I've already made a router jig/sled (using shelf uprights) with a value of 90.002, aka 1/4 of 1 mm out on the vertical. But one day I'd like to reach the bronze standard of many colleges/contests. Where every joint can have a maximum variance of 1/16th of a inch (1.5mm).
