Board Footage Cutting Board Example Project (I) Example Project (II)

What is the Cutting Board Overall Measurement? T” x W” x L”

Overall Measurements 1” x 8-5/8” x 16”

What Does Board Foot Represent? Board Foot: – Representation of the total amount of material present in lumber through a squared measurement. – Bd Ft is calculated by Thickness” x Width” x Length” 144 OR Thickness” x Width” x Length’ 12

Calculate for NCWHS Cutting Board 1” x 8-5/8” x 16” 144

Cutting Board Bd. Ft. Answer Calculated Answer =.95833¯ Industrial Rounded Answer =.96 – The measurement is round to the nearest hundredth of the decimal point.

Figure Cost NCWHS Bd/Ft cost is $2.60 Individually calculate the cost of cutting board

Total Cost Actual Calculated Cost = $2.496 Rounded Industrial Cost = $2.50 Because the US monetary system round to the nearest hundreth (.01), the true cost is also rounded to this.

Example Project I Step Stool

Bill of Materials Bill of Materials: – List of materials that are needed to manufacture / construct an item. – This list includes: Lumber Hardware Glue Stain Varnish All other items needed to finish the project

Step Stool Bill of Materials Directions: Figure the bd/ft for each of the items listed above. Note, the last item has two pcs. Figure the amount for one pc. then multiply that by two.

Step Stool Answers Top = 1 Bd/Ft Middle Step =.75 Bd/Ft Sides =.94 Bd/Ft per side x 2 = 1.88 Bd/Ft Total Amount = 3.63 Bd/Ft Total Cost = $9.44 in lumber only…..
