A lot of woodworkers build their projects in something like Sketchup before they even make the first cut, so you can basically see what the end product will look like without wasting any material. I think woodworking is similar to programming because they both involve similar problem solving skills. You have to figure out how to build a thing to serve a use case using the tools and resources you have available.
