Free forever for a real project. No card needed to start.
Start fast
Start from a plan, or from a single board
Open a ready-made project — bookshelves, planters, a workbench, the free Woodgrain & Sawdust plans — or drag a 2x4 onto the workspace and go from there. Every board comes placed and joined, ready to change to your size.
See every side
3D, or flat drawings with every size
Turn your project around in 3D, or switch to front, side and top drawings with the measurements already on them. Drag a board's end to trim it, or type 30 1/2" — fractions are how it talks.
Cut with confidence
A cut list that's actually right
Every piece at the size you really cut it — dados, miters, tenons and notches included — grouped so you cut identical parts together. Print it big for the shop.
Buy less, waste less
Know exactly what to buy
A shopping list of boards, sheets and hardware, and (with Pro) a cutting diagram that lays every piece out on the boards you buy with the least waste — saw kerf and all.
Made for woodworkers, not engineers
Boards, not geometry. It speaks your language — rip, crosscut, board feet — and never asks you to learn CAD.
Real joinery
Pocket screws and brad nails to dados, half-laps, mortise & tenon and dovetails.
Fractions first
Type 3 1/2 or 2' 6" and see 3 1/2". Metric works too.
Lumber you can buy
Real 2x4s, fence pickets, plywood and hardwood, at their actual sizes.
Ready-made projects
Start from a template and change anything.
Never lose work
Saves as you go, with unlimited undo.
Laptop or tablet
Big buttons that work with a mouse or a finger in the shop.
Your next project starts with one board.
