Your first board is a good place to start.
Choose a focused exercise or follow a complete project. Each guide connects an action in GrainDraft to a decision in the shop.
From setup to Shaper Origin ↗
Inspect the exact face, download anchored SVGs and keep matching setup pages in your shop packet.
Two boards. One joint. ↗
Practice choosing faces, setting up a mortise and tenon, previewing both cuts and inspecting the result.
The side-table walkthrough ↗
Follow a frame and drawer through dimensions, joinery, material estimates and fabrication outputs.
Dimensions and size presets ↗
Understand named inputs, dependent formulas and the preview before you apply a size change.
Prepare for the shop ↗
Explore cut lists, material pricing, sheet layouts, shop packets and supported export formats.
For tool-specific instructions, open the app’s Help Center with F1. Save a named copy and download a project backup before starting a separate practice project.
