Woodworking
Design woodworking projects for free in your browser: snap together common lumber, joints and hinges, then print a parts list with exact measurements.
How it works
Start from an example, a sentence or a sketch. Snap real boards, panels and hardware together, and resize the build by dragging; connected boards adjust with it.
Watch the demoEvery board appears in a parts list with its exact length, and the cut plan shows how many 8 ft or 10 ft boards you need and where to cut each one.
Watch the demoFollow numbered assembly steps for your own design, then fill your cart at The Home Depot or Lowe's with what's on the list.

Describe what you want to build, or attach a photo or sketch, and Crafti AI drafts a whole design made of separate parts you can edit. Start a raised garden bed or potting bench from a sentence, then select any piece to keep refining it. Your project begins from an idea, not a blank screen.
Drag one handle and a connected design changes size, with related members adjusting together. Try a wider pergola, bench or pipe frame. It works on builds of at least three connected parts, one with a flexible length, and the directions you can drag depend on the structure.
Every board, pipe and fitting you add shows up in a parts list beside your 3D model, with quantities that update as the design changes. Hover a row to find those parts in the scene, then check the counts before you cut or shop. Your design becomes a list you can review line by line.
Find out how many stock lengths your project needs before you buy. Choose a stock length and see your finished pieces laid out along each length, with the leftover shown. Your parts list becomes a simple cut list, so you can plan the trip to the lumber yard with fewer surprises.
See how your project goes together, one numbered step at a time. Each step names the parts to join, marks where they connect, and shows that subassembly within the whole build. It turns a finished 3D model into clear woodworking plans you can review before you head to the shop.
Add a clean opening to a board or panel, like a cable hole in a desktop. Position a round cutting shape, set its size and apply the cut while the rest of the part stays intact. Your 3D model then shows the opening, so you see the result before you cut real material.
Once your design is ready, match each line on your parts list to a store product, check purchase quantities and skip anything you already own. When you are signed in, Crafti fills that retailer's cart for you to review before checkout. You skip retyping every part by hand, and nothing is bought until you decide.
Over 7,300 real parts across 346 categories, ready to drop into your design: lumber in every common size, pipe and fittings in PVC, copper and steel, 80/20 aluminum framing, steel tube and bar, screws and brackets, wheels, casters and actuators, electrical and HVAC parts, plus people, plants and furniture for scale.

Questions
Yes. The cut plan groups your parts by board size, shows how many stock lengths you need and marks every cut, so you can buy the right number of 8 ft or 10 ft boards.
Yes. You can switch between imperial and metric, and the library includes metric lumber sections as well as nominal sizes.
Yes. Open any example project, such as a pergola, loft bed or chicken coop, copy it into your account and change it to fit your space.
No! It all works on the browser. It works on your phone as well as your computer!
Yes! You can save your design in your account.
Yes! You'll have a unique URL for every design you save which you can send to anyone! They can then see or clone the design. They cannot edit your design. You can also delete it whenever you'd like.
Crafti has 7,300+ parts across aluminum 8020, steel, wood, HVAC and PVC! Let us know if we're missing a part.
I spent a year building an off grid farm and knew nothing about construction / plumbing / electrical work…
I saw that most people had to go the hardware store multiple times and many times they weren’t able to finish their work that day because the vendor didn’t have the part. So I thought if you can design your project beforehand, it will allow us to check for compatibility while you’re designing and then fill your cart at the store with everything you need! Much easier!
Yes. There are transition parts that allow you to connect PVC to wood or wood to aluminum 8020. If there is interest, we will start adding parts like motors and electrical components as well.
The idea for Crafti is to be a place where you can design your entire project with all of its components so when you want to get to building, all you need to do is review your cart and check out!
Crafti doesn't sell parts itself. When your design is ready, it fills your cart at McMaster-Carr, The Home Depot or Lowe's so you can review everything before you check out.
When you have parts longer than 36" or of a certain kind (like lumber beyond a certain WxH), we just give you the dimension / exact length for you to go buy that at your local store.
Yes. We keep adding parts and features based on the feedback we get, so let us know what you need!
You can! If you have all the parts downloaded already and are an expert in CAD software. Also, I would hope that your CAD software gives you a clean output of all the parts / their exact measurements.
What CAD software won't do is allow you to share the design online and allow others to see your design and specs.
Sure! Here are some basic concepts.
