The woodworking plan catalog

Plans you can actually compare.

Every plan carries the same structured detail — a full cut list, a material list, the tools you need, and a cost band. Decide before you drive to the lumberyard.

What a plan looks like

Not a photo and a paragraph. The whole thing.

Every plan is fully specified — so you can see exactly what to cut, what to buy, and whether you can build it with the tools you own.

  • Structured, every time

    Difficulty, real shop time, tools (and which are optional), a full material list — so two plans compare directly.

  • A buying plan, not just a cut list

    How many boards of what size to actually put in the truck — kerf and ripping accounted for.

  • Fractions, not decimals

    3/4", 13/16" — the numbers your tape measure actually shows.

  • Own the tools?

    Tick yours once and the catalog hides anything you can't build.

Why this catalog

What sets it apart

Every claim here is something the app does today.

  • A board-buying plan

    The cut-list optimizer turns a plan's parts into how many boards of what size to buy — accounting for saw kerf and ripping narrow parts from wider stock.

  • Filter by tools you own

    Tick your tools once and see only the plans you can actually build — essential tools only.

  • Honest cost bands

    Compare by a $–$$$$$ band, not a made-up dollar figure that moves with region and season.

  • Built for the shop

    Installs to your phone, works offline, and prints clean in tape-measure fractions.

  • One shopping list

    Add materials across the plans you're building into a single consolidated list.

  • Learning paths

    Ordered project sequences that build skill — each chosen to teach what the next one assumes you know.

Who it’s for

For the “what can I build this weekend?” woodworker.

You’ve got a Saturday, a pile of 2×4s, and a tape measure. You don’t want a PDF with the cut list buried on page 7 — you want to know what to build and what to buy. That’s the whole idea.

  • Save plans and roll materials into one shopping list.
  • Log your builds and leave a review with photos.
  • Free, and it works with one bar of signal in the shop.
