Designed for Woodworkers Who'd Rather Be in the Workshop, Not Behind a Screen
Draft Cut was built to solve a frustrating problem for woodworkers — turning an idea into a buildable plan can take longer than the build itself. This is no longer the case.
Whether you're designing from scratch or trying to adapt a reference image, the time lost to software, guesswork, and planning is time taken away from creating. Draft Cut simplifies that process. We help turn your ideas into clear, customized build procedures in minutes — no CAD software or technical learning curve required.
Why Draft Cut Exists
Draft Cut is the creation of a fellow woodworker who knows the pain of spending hours (or even days) wrestling with design tools that weren't made for makers. We believe that creative minds shouldn't need to master software just to build a table, or an Etsy project.
Woodworkers don't lack creativity — they lack tools that speak their language.
So, we built one.
What We Believe
We believe woodworking should be about the craft — not the hours spent mapping builds or reverse-engineering joinery steps from someone else's project. Draft Cut bridges the gap between creativity and clarity, allowing builders to generate build-ready designs and procedures quickly, so they can get back to what they love: working with timber.
Who It's For
Whether you're a beginner looking to build your first piece, or an experienced maker with dozens of builds under your belt, Draft Cut helps you skip the admin and stay in the flow of making. From coffee tables and desks to custom planter boxes and storage boxes — we make the design side feel effortless.
Looking Ahead
Draft Cut is passionate about helping woodworkers build smarter, faster, and with more confidence. Every update we ship is shaped by the same belief: that tools should support your workflow — not interrupt it.
A Quiet Note on Origins
Draft Cut was independently built in a backyard workshop in Australia — born from the frustration of spending more time wrangling design tools than actually building. That pain sparked a mission: to make planning simpler, faster, and more enjoyable for woodworkers. If you have ideas to make it better, we'd love to hear them — so everyone can spend more time building, and less time stuck planning.
