Amazing resource if it takes off.

I wanted to build a bed frame recently and imagined software where I could choose lumber from a list and visually assemble the bed frame in the software how I see fit, choose stains, flourishes - then go order the wood and have it cut. At that point it's like taking home an IKEA bed, except of way higher quality materials and to your exact design spec.

So

> Real SKUs, a real BOM you can send to any lumberyard; understand exactly what you need down to the last nail.

Is especially interesting, it sounds like you could basically do that with this software.

Turning the woodworking process into code to be automated by an LLM is pretty ambitious, and is the part I am most skeptical about. Of course, if you get that right (plus adoption) it would be unbelievably huge.

I have a parametric bed frame procedure already! It's demoed in an example project here https://sawdust.diy/share/60d515eb-ca3f-559e-994f-56164dd1fc... click 'open the workshop view' to see the full UI, make a new one using the bed frame procedure in the procedure tab (or add MCP and ask the agent to use the procedure).

And you can customize it beyond the existing design by asking an agent to modify it, e.g. "let's use walnut 4x4s and 2x4 slats", "I don't like how the corners come together, can we make it more like traditional joinery?" Also, staining is a supported procedure (it's very useful for e.g. coloring geodesic dome struts by strut type), you can just ask the agent to stain the pieces with whichever color you like, I'm sure you could even use a named stain you want to use like "Minwax Dark Oak" and get something pretty close.
