Drawing and stock math —
let the tool do it
Pick a piece, fill in length × width × height, and 3 seconds later you have a 3D view, three-view engineering drawings, joinery details, cut list, build order, and a printable PDF.
↑ Same piece, three outputs generated in 3 seconds — 3D view, engineering drawings, cut list

The slow part of woodworking isn't building.
It's drawing the plan right, getting the stock math right, and sequencing the cuts. A stool plan typically eats 2–3 hours. A cabinet, half a day. Burned the afternoon before you even touch wood.
Drawing gets stuck
Some dimension's always off — the three-view and the perspective just won't add up.
Stock math gets stuck
Length × width × thickness, plus tenon allowance, plus waste, plus planing — half an hour goes counting on fingers.
Build order gets stuck
What goes first, what gets glued, what gets clamped — get it wrong and you can't even take it apart to fix.
Designer compresses all three into 3 seconds — the two evenings you save are enough to pick up another commission.
Three steps, idea to shop
Pick a template
From 25+ furniture templates: stools, dining chairs, desks, wardrobes, wine racks, pencil holders — beginner through advanced.
Enter dimensions
Length, width, height, stock thickness, joinery type — drag the sliders and watch the 3D update live.
Take the plans to the shop
PDF engineering drawings, cut list, tool list, build order — print and start cutting.
Every piece comes with all of this
Not just a design — a complete build package, ready for the shop.
📐 Engineering three-view
Front, side, top — fully dimensioned, drawn in the conventions a working woodworker recognizes, print-and-build.
📋 Cut list
L × W × T, part number, 3D location for every piece — check them off as you cut, no mistakes.
🪵 Stock layout
Most efficient layout auto-computed with utilization percentage. Even tells you which side of the board to start the cut.
📑 Build order
Full 19-step sequence, time estimates, stock selection notes, moisture content, grain direction — more detailed than the textbook.
💰 Customer quote
Furniture price, tax, deposit / final split, installment terms, customer info table — print it and hand it to the customer.
🪑 3D perspective preview
Photoreal wood grain rendering, rotate to any angle — see the finished piece clearly before you cut.
Joinery details
Through tenons, blind tenons, half-laps — positions auto-computed, with male/female alignment diagrams.
Tool list
Which tools this piece needs — beginners don't have to guess what to buy.
STL 3D export
Open in SketchUp or your 3D printer. Print a scale model to prototype before you commit.
Measure once, print the whole spec
Interior contractors burn most of their time not at the nail gun — but estimating on site with a pencil, drawing at home, then a second trip for parts. From ceiling frames to storage cabinets: enter the room dimensions, get the full spec.
🪜 Ceiling frame calculator
Measure the room and enter L×W×H — main joists, secondary joists, hangers auto-laid out. Length of every member, number of calcium silicate panels, number of nails, total stock and labor — print and bring to the job site.
Cabinet line — 7 common cabinet types, auto plans + cut list
Wardrobe · Shoe Cabinet · Media Console · Open Bookshelf · Display Cabinet · Nightstand · Chest of Drawers
Built for five kinds of people
DIY woodworkers
Can't draft engineering drawings but want to build furniture for the home. Pick a template, adjust to your space, let the tool handle the rest.
Pro woodworkers / commissions
Customer asks "how much for a cabinet like this?" — design + quote + build order in 5 minutes. Faster than the competition wins the job. Stock math precise so you don't over-order.
Interior contractors / renovators
Measure the room and enter L×W×H — ceiling frame (main / secondary / supports) auto-computed, panels, nails, full spec to print and bring on site.
Designers
Hand the engineering drawings and cut list straight to the woodworker for fabrication — minimum communication overhead.
Academy students / self-learners
Change the dimensions or swap the joinery on a class project — see the 3D update instantly. Ten times faster than a textbook.
I'm Wooden Ren
200,000 people watch me work wood on YouTube. The Wooden Ren Academy, online and in person, has taught 600+ students.
The question I've gotten most often in ten years —
"Hey Ren, how do you figure out this dimension?"
Designer is the tool I built from those answers. Furniture sizing conventions, joinery rules, build-order logic — every single rule comes from work I've actually done and questions I've answered until they're worn smooth.
