>>By the way, what is cut list plus?
CutList Plus is a program that helps you figure out how to cut a large piece of wood into a bunch of smaller pieces of wood.
You can put in the dimensions of all of your cage pieces and it will tell you the best way to cut up a 4'x8' sheet of plywood to get those pieces. There are several different modes: it can optimize the amount of leftover material, minimize the number of cross cuts, minimize the number of rip cuts, and so on. You can also put in a large list of parts and it will tell you how much wood you need to buy to make all of those parts. If you have leftover wood, you can put in the size of the leftovers and it will make use of them, too.
A pretty cool program, though expensive. I do a lot of woodworking, aside from cage building, so it's a real time-saver for me. FYI, the freeware version is sufficient for small projects.
