Resources for the week ahead

Printable cards that match how South African shops actually run.

Printed layout sheet and foam tray on a bench

Cards and sheets you can run on Monday

Resources are one-page tools: Monday shortlist templates, station layout sheets, care ritual cards, calibration logs, hold-down maps, humidity press cards, FET period plans, and dispatch notes. They exist so a first-year team does not invent a new spreadsheet every week.

Print them, keep them near the tray they describe, and send a message through our contact form if a field does not match how your shop actually runs.

How to choose a resource

Start with the station you named in one sentence. Vinyl weekends need weeding lane plans and transfer notes. Laser nights need focus gauge sheets. CNC softwood weeks need hold-down maps and bit care. FET labs need period plans and shared tray cards. Dispatch corners need pack lists and void fill notes.

One resource per habit, not a binder of everything
Cards stay visual and clear so a crew can pin them above the bench.

Keep them current

Update the card when the bench changes. If you moved the scale, change the layout sheet the same day. If coastal humidity changed your press timing, refresh the humidity card. Resources only help when they match the floor.
