Has anyone found a panel cutting program on the internet for free? By this I mean getting the most from a 4 x 8 sheet. Thanks in advance for your time.

I know there was an A4 sized book in the public library some time back dealing with just that subject. It was produced by one of the lower end DIY pubs. of US origin. You will know the range better than me.
Also I tried Google with "furniture I can make with one sheet of plywood". A whole passel of sites turned up. Good luck.

Try Sheet Layout, they have an "evaluation" version that is free although it does have limitations. http://www.sheetlayout.com/products.htm
If you haven't yet you should also check out the extensive list of woodworking software at Woodweb. http://www.woodweb.com/Resources/RSSoftwareConnection.html#woodor
For the record I use Cut List Plus that I purchased several years ago, I believe I decided on the Silver Level and it cost around $75. If I remember correctly. I got tired of the limitations of the free ones I found. http://cutlistplus.com/purchase.aspx
Thanks for the information. I love your name. Looks like we came from the same time frame. :-)

I'll be 53 this year, Nov. 11th. Don't know how close in time that makes us .
I've always figured that what you make of the time is what really counts.
I started most things later in life than some but managed somehow to catch up with most of them.
And my parents were a little different than most of the parents I knew back then. :)~
I will be 52 in Sept. I am glad I was born then and not now. Poor kids don't have any good music to listen to. :-)
I have to agree. Seems to me though that the female perfomers might be a little cuter :)~
Snap. This has been my favourite for years.

Love it!! Mind if I borrow it?
I bought it in Yorkshire years back along with "I think I need another beer" but they seem to have stopped doing them. If I can find one I will send it to you.
