  • Proposed upright and tier layout
  • Matched rack-component counts
  • Structural fixing and supplier-capacity checks
Start planning

Bring an assembly surface to the job

Assembly cart builder

Plan a mobile assembly surface, braced storage base and caster requirements.

  • Caster capacity purchasing estimate
  • Assembly, locking and stability checks
Start planning

Organize tools around your wall space

French-cleat wall builder

Turn wall space and tool-row spacing into rails, holder blanks and installation steps.

  • Wall rails and mating cleat blanks
  • 45-degree bevel and spacer guidance
  • Structural fixing and holder-retention checks
Start planning

A clear route from idea to workshop

1. Describe the goal

Measure the opening, part or workspace. You do not need to know the construction dimensions yet.

2. Review the proposed build

Check the drawing, cut list, hardware allowances and assumptions against your actual materials.

3. Price and take the packet

Replace the illustrative USD prices, then download the drawing, cut list and printable instructions.

4. Refine and prepare

Use the detailed studios, tooling guides and calculators to check the next part of the job.

Set up the rest of your workshop

Plan a router table, miter-saw station or assembly cart around your space and equipment. Organize materials with a lumber rack setup or tools with a French-cleat wall.

Choose the right planning tool

Cabinet and drawer planning starts with your opening. CNC job setup starts with the part and machine workspace. Workbench design starts with available space and working posture.

For airflow, hose dimensions and equipment requirements, use the air extraction planner. For detailed editable geometry, use the design studios. For a single calculation, browse the woodworking calculator library.

What is included in a build packet?

A dimensioned overview, parts or stock list, editable purchasing allowances and an ordered build or setup sequence. HTML packets can be printed or saved as PDF; CSV cut lists and SVG review drawings can be downloaded separately.

Can I build directly from the result?

Review the stated assumptions first. Actual panel thickness, selected hardware, loads and machine specifications can change the plan. CNC packets do not contain G-code or verified cutting settings. Prices are planning allowances, not supplier quotations.
