Where to cut the shelf board you already own

An old board, a new nook, and a pipe right where the shelf should go. There’s a place to cut that notch without turning your apartment into a workshop. At Cainz, the wood-cutting counter (木材カット) makes straight cuts on wood you bought at that branch that day. Look for カインズ工房 for the board you already own. At branches with a workshop, you can bring in your wood and cut it yourself. Bring-in jobs start at ¥250 for half an hour. Someone who brought their own tools had room to cut and assemble 1.8-meter boards at the workshop. Before hauling a board over, ask if there’s room for its full length, whether they have a jigsaw (ジグソー), and which blade or drill bit to bring. Cut the notch and drill the pilot holes at the bench. Then you can carry the boards home flat and leave yourself the quiet part of the job.
