Fit a bench to your space and working posture. Get a frame, top, storage and stock-cutting plan.
A proposed bench height and frame drawing Lumber cuts, plywood panels and a stock schedule Hardware allowances and assembly checkpoints Start planning → Make a dedicated routing station
Plan a plywood router-table base and top around your workspace and router clearance.
Doubled top and braced base cut list Insert, fence and guarding purchasing allowances Assembly sequence and machine-clearance checks Start planning → Support the saw and the workpiece
Size a center platform and support wings around your saw and working height.
Center platform and two wing modules Matched working heights and panel cut list Leveling, mounting and clearance checks Start planning → Give lumber a planned storage place
Lay out a rated rack system, support spacing and component quantities for your lumber.
Proposed upright and tier layout Matched rack-component counts Structural fixing and supplier-capacity checks Start planning → Bring an assembly surface to the job
Plan a mobile assembly surface, braced storage base and caster requirements.
Braced cabinet and doubled base cut list Caster capacity purchasing estimate Assembly, locking and stability checks Start planning → Wall → storage
Organize tools around your wall space
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.
