The Woodgrain & Sawdust Designer

Design It Your Size.
Get the Cut List.

Drag boards onto a workspace, trim them, join them — and walk away with a cut list and shopping list you can take straight to the lumber yard. No CAD experience needed. No math headaches either.

Free forever for a real project. No card needed to start.

Your Size, Not Ours

Drag a board's end or type 30 1/2" — fractions are how it talks. No CAD degree required.

A Cut List That's Actually Right

Every piece at the size you really cut it, miters and dados included. Print it big for the shop.

Know What to Buy

A shopping list of real boards and hardware, so you only make one trip to the lumber yard. (Okay, maybe two.)

How it works

From “I wonder if…” to a cut list in minutes

  1. 01

    Start from a plan — or one board

    Open a ready-made project like a planter or bookshelf, or drag a 2x4 onto the workspace and freestyle it.

  2. 02

    Make it fit your space

    Resize, trim and join boards. Spin it around in 3D or flip to front, side and top drawings with every measurement on them.

  3. 03

    Take it to the shop

    Get your cut list and shopping list, print them, and go make some sawdust.

The Maker

Hi, I'm Armando.

I'm a software developer by trade, but with AI taking the creativity out of my career, I needed somewhere to get it back. I spend my weekends in the garage building things with my hands — and woodworking is exactly that.

There's something satisfying about designing something on paper and then actually cutting it out of lumber. I'm still learning, still figuring things out, and I figured I'd share the plans along the way.

All the plans on this site are free. More are coming as I build them. If one helps you make something, that's the whole point.
