A pre-scale review for woodworking before expanding the scope

Before I trust a woodworking process, I want to see a cut list, setup notes, and a finish schedule tied to the actual species and use case. That is the difference between one lucky project and a body of craft knowledge.

Three evaluation axes to compare:
- clarity of the build plan
- quality of setup and jig documentation
- repeatability of the finishing workflow

Review materials:
- Woodworking for Mere Mortals: woodworkingformeremortals.com/
Approachable public instruction for people building skills in a normal-sized shop.
- Woodsmith plans library: woodsmithplans.com/
A reliable source for measured plans and build sequencing examples.
- FreeCAD source: github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD
Open source parametric design software that is genuinely useful for plans and fixtures.

Save the strongest examples, scorecards, and decision memos in this folio so future teammates can see what good evaluation looked like at the time.
