He built a free tool that picks the right drawer insert and writes the cut list

After measuring 17 kitchen drawers by hand and still cutting one insert wrong, he built a free tool with AI. You snap photos of a drawer, enter five measurements, and it checks 46 Rev-A-Shelf insert sizes, picks the top three fits, and gives the exact cut sizes.

How it works

  1. Measured 17 drawers by hand and got a cut wrong
  2. Built the tool as an AI artifact
  3. The tool takes drawer photos and five measurements
  4. It checks 46 Rev-A-Shelf insert sizes and throws out any that are too tall or cut past the trim line
  5. It returns the top three picks with a cut sheet

Why it’s worth knowing

The sizing chart for 46 drawer inserts became a phone tool that reads your drawer photos and writes the cut sheet.
