NotchPlans 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.

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.
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.
