About Us
Free professional woodworking calculators for craftsmen worldwide
Hello, Fellow Woodworker!
We're a small team of woodworking enthusiasts who built this site to share the calculators we wish we had when we started our woodworking journeys. With over 15 years of combined experience across furniture making, cabinetry, and workshop design, we understand the importance of accurate measurements and proper planning.
Why We Built This Site
Over the years, we found ourselves constantly doing the same calculations — board feet, lumber costs, joinery measurements, and workshop planning. Rather than keeping these tools to ourselves, we decided to create a comprehensive collection of free calculators that would help the entire woodworking community.
Every formula is based on industry standards from organizations like the National Hardwood Lumber Association (NHLA), OSHA workshop safety guidelines, and established engineering principles. We test each calculator against real-world workshop projects to ensure accuracy.
What You'll Find Here
No registration, no fees — just useful tools
Board feet, lumber costs, and material needs
Dovetails, mortise and tenon, and other joints
Dust collection, lighting, and layout calculators
Pricing and cost calculators for selling your work
Safe speeds, airflow, and tool calculations
Our Approach
All calculators use standard woodworking formulas and industry practices. We've tested each one across real projects — from small jewelry boxes to full dining room sets — to ensure accuracy. While we strive for precision, we always recommend double-checking critical measurements for your specific projects and consulting material suppliers for current pricing.
