An LLM laid out my furniture in CAD from the boards I had

He gave an LLM the list of boards he had, and it helped lay out the CAD and the cut list for a piece of furniture he wanted, working through OnShape's MCP. He says it got him using hand tools more this week than any week in the last year.

How it works

  1. He gives the LLM his list of boards
  2. The LLM lays out the CAD and cut list through OnShape's MCP
  3. He works from the cut list with hand tools

Why it’s worth knowing

It did not start from a standard design. It laid out the furniture around the exact boards he already had on hand.
