I was googling for some shelf length/strength for a shelf in my pantry and came across this.

Really good... I was sleepless trying to figure out how to dimension my sucupira shelves! I figured I'd have to go to kaneelhart. Maybe even with a yellow meranti edge strip.

OK, in all seriousness, it really is very good.

Don't build shelves without it!

I've used it for many years. Don't build any shelves, benches or beams without it.

Thank you - was able to quell my concerns on a current build. Nice, handy utility!

There are some very handy calculators out there. I probably read about the sagulator here on SMC or another forum, and the name stuck with me ever since. I use it several times a year.

There is a beam calculator on the forestry/timber framing forum that is also helpful for construction purposes.
