Woodworking Designs turns an idea into a plan you can take to the workshop. Lay parts out in a real 3D scene. Drag them together and they snap flush, so a carcass goes together the way it will on the bench. Attach hinges, play the swing, and see whether a door actually clears its frame before you cut anything. WHAT YOU GET • A 3D design canvas: add parts, size them to the millimetre, rotate, align and join them • Working hinges: attach a door to a frame, pick the side, and watch it swing • Furniture templates: table, chair, door, cabinet and hinged cabinet • Build from sizes: pick a cabinet or table, enter its width, depth and height, and every part is laid out for you • A cut list that follows every edit, in metric or imperial • Supplies: real materials, lumber profiles and hardware for your parts • Plans saved on your device, in the same format as the desktop app PRO. One purchase, not a subscription • Buy list: how many boards to buy, in the stock lengths your yard sells, worked out to waste the least timber • Cutting diagrams: where every part comes out of every board • Store mode: the list in a form you can read one-handed in the aisle • Export: share a plan as PNG or PDF Everything else is free. No ads, no account, and your designs stay on your device unless you export them yourself.
