Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free woodworking planner matches the boards and tools in your scrap pile to projects, then lays out cuts on the wood you have.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-24 issue.
For
Woodworkers with leftover lumber and limited tools
Worth noticing
The matcher accounts for actual board dimensions, grain direction, a ⅛-inch saw kerf, and the tools available.

Field notes

Users can enter board types and measurements, select the tools they own, and see matching results update as they type. The matcher uses actual dressed dimensions—for example, a nominal 1×4 is treated as ¾″ × 3½″—and applies grain direction and a ⅛-inch saw kerf to cut layouts. If a board needs ripping, the tool requires a table saw, circular saw, or bandsaw; the pile is remembered on the same device.
