Maker project brief - Thread / LETTER
A good fit for your idea?
Choose a layout with enough writing room. Use a separate inventory or cutting list for detailed quantities.
Make a start
Write what you want to make, the dimensions or constraints that matter, and the first three actions.
Try one first
Check that the finished result can be recognized from the description and that each first action is concrete.
Make the first actions small enough to start
Describe the desired object or outcome in concrete terms. Record measured dimensions separately from estimates, and list the next few actions rather than every possible future task. Revisit the brief after a prototype changes the plan.
