Jesper's Cheat Sheets

8 printable reference sheets for your workshop wall

€3

These started as notes on my own workshop wall because I keep forgetting things. Pilot hole sizes, sandpaper grits, joinery types. I'm a fumbler and I need the cheat-way to do things. So I made them into proper printable sheets and now they're available for everyone. Print them out, pin them up, stop Googling the same stuff over and over.

What you get: An 8-page PDF with wood species reference, sandpaper & finishing guide, joinery reference, screw & fastener charts, drill bit sizes, metric/imperial conversions, angles & geometry, and safety guidelines. Designed for A4, works on US Letter too.

Instant PDF download after purchase. Secure payment via Stripe.

Why I made this

I got tired of Googling the same things over and over. β€œWhat pilot hole for a #8 screw?” β€œWhat grit after 120?” β€œIs Titebond III waterproof?”

So I made myself a set of wall charts with everything I actually need in the shop. Turns out, I use them every single day. Now you can have them too.

Print all 8 pages. Pin them above your workbench. Done.
