Jayman:

That is a fantastic help to all of us not smart enought to figure it out otherwise. Thanks for posting. I know I will get a lot of use from this.

Getting ready to build my first cutting boards as Christmas presents. This will sure come in handy. Thanks for the timely post!!

Jayman, Is there anyway to save? I would like to save different configurations so I can compare and choose the one I loke best.

Thanks!!

Thank You… Very good of you to share

-- Jeremy, North Dakota

Thanks for all the compliments! I’m surprised and glad to see many of you are finding it useful. If there is enough interest and suggestions, I might incorporate them into a later version of the program (such as saving; that’s a good idea!).

Thanks for the effort. I am sure that will help out in the future.

very cool, thanks!

-- A thing of beauty is a joy forever...

It’s blocked here at work, but I plan to try it at home tonight. TIA

First.. I tried the program this morning and it very easy to use and does a wonderful job. For me simple is better. With in only a few minutes it gives you a chance to see before hand what the board will look like. I really like this program.
Thanks for taking the time to not only make this but share it with us. Keep more programs like this coming.

Now, If I could be so bold as to ask for in a future update a way to save, print, and more choices of wood.

-- Bob K. East Northport, NY

wow this is very nice!! ive been browsing here for a while, and finally joined.. ill have to share my CB creations now!

i agree, save and print would be great, thanks!

-- just another woodworking newb

Amazingly cool… many thanks… is there a way to save a project to a file?

-- tim hill www.newcalshop.com

Updated to version 1.1 to add the ability to save designs. Enjoy! :)

Can’t wait to give it a test drive when I get home.
Thanks for posting it up!

Thanks for the update.

-- Bob K. East Northport, NY

I downloaded 1.1 and tried to run it and i get an error message!

Thanks for the program. I had the OCX file. No problems

Can you Download this using FireFox ? Which link do you click on ?

wow.. great updates!

On v1.2, the boarders you added around the previews cause the image to get truncated unless the preview size is less than 25% (obviously dependent on the cb size..)

What a great program! I wish I had found this three days ago though…..:)

This is why I LOVE THIS SITE!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I just made my first cutting board and was getting excitted about my next few…
I just designed my next one with your program. It is a GREAT program!

I feel like a little kid at Xmas :)

That’s just amazing jayman7. Thanks for sharing it.

Nice

-- john

This is great. Thank you

What a dope I am. I don’t get this File Dropper page I get. Where to go from there?

-- Willy Wally's Wood Stuff

I can’t figure out how to download this thing either. Anyone can help please?

Click the “CBdesigner v1.3” link and then click “download file” link to save the program. I also fixed the mirror site at filedropper. The file at filedropper expires after a certain amount of time.

I have it now. Thanks. I look forward to playing around with it.

Excellent program. I know how much effort goes into a program like this and appreciate your willingness to share it with others!

Wow this program looks great. I have made one cutting board and would like to make a few more when I came accross this posting.

I have downloaded the v1.3 and the comdlg32 but getting an error that says “component comdlg32 or one of its dependancies not correctly registered or is missing or is invalid” Any thoughts on what I can do?

nice program!

if you wanna, please share the source
planet source code is one nice place to do it http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/default.asp
maybe you also get some ideas to improve it there

btw, the problem of registering the cmdialog can be fixed easily
vb have dependencies and are not supposed to be only the exe
it work fine if the computer have all files needed but this don’t happen always

just make the setup for the program and it can create all for you
(in vb6, menu add-ins / package and deployment wizard )

found 2 small bugs
interface: taborder are not correct – just click with the mouse in any control to get the focus and press tab to check .. the cursor don’t go to the next control in the correct order ( goes to the next in the order you included in the form )
no error procedure: create 68 layers and get overflow

I hope it can help you to improve it – tanks for posting it

Sweet program!! What’s the chance of adding more wood types? Maybe even some pictures of the endgrain rather than the standard colors? Anyway, this program is great!

Hi

Brilliant idea !!

I have now installed the program, and it is apparantly running allright, BUT when I press “Lets make a cutting board” nothing happens I run on vista – is that a problem

Any help will be appriciated, as I would very much like to use your software

is there another link for this software?

looks like the hosting site is have problems. have not been trying for about week now.

Any chance for some updated software links?

Thanks,
Topp

Mirror is working. Now I have to try to come up with a nice pattern.
Thanks.
Topp

Thank you for your generous contribution. The software package is great. I am giving my first try at an endgrain cutting board. Just using up scraps for this first one – all sorts of random widths. The program is great as I look for pieces. Then as I cut parts and the dimensions turn out a little fat or thin, I can update the design and swap parts around. This would have been a brain buster without your program!

if you need a program to make a cutting board then Wal Mart will save you a fortune and the cutting boards sold at WalMart are made by the “Off Shore” folks whom in all likelyhood….....work for a living…...and you cant even buy, beg, or borrow, the lumber to compete.

computors are definitly not the be all and end all of woodworking projects

is this for real?

Hello
What’s the problem?
I have an error message “please put a number in the box(es) 3
Help me please

I have installed the program, and it is apparantly running allright, but when I press “Lets make a cutting board” nothing happens I run on windows xp home

I would very much like to use your software but I can’t

-- Diggerjack-France

Very cool little program! I had some minor issues on the first run, but now it seems to be working. (Vista Ultimate 64)

-- There is nothing in the world more dangerous, than a woodworker who knows how to read a micrometer...

Now all it needs is to be converted into an app. Anyone know how to do that?

Diggerjacks: When you get that error message, it most likely means you put something other than a number in the boxes.

The “Let’s make a cutting board” doesn’t really do anything, so don’t be concerned if it doesn’t do anything. It used to be the button to press to generate a cutting board, but in v1.3 it’s more of a “refresh” button since the cutting board automatically refreshes after any change. I will relabel it as the “refresh” button if I get around to making a v1.4 with more improvements.

Thanks again for all the compliments!

Hello

I must substitute the ”. ” by ”,” and all is allright

Thanks a lot for the software
