The studio toolkit
Tools we build.
Tools we trust.
We make tools as well as furniture. Here's the software we've built for our own bench, and the short list of gear we'd buy again without a second thought.
Built by our studio
Software from our own bench
When the software we needed didn't exist, we wrote our own. The first tool is live today; the rest are working their way up the bench.
CabDesign
Parametric cabinet-design software we built for our own studio. Design cabinets in the browser, get cut lists instantly.
- Design a single box or a full run right in the browser
- Instant, optimized cut lists and hardware schedules
- Parametric sizing that updates the whole cabinet at once
- Built, broken, and rebuilt on real jobs in our own shop
Also on the bench
Cut-List Optimizer
Feed it your parts and your sheet sizes; it lays out the most efficient cuts and tells you exactly how much material to buy.
Board-Foot Calculator
Price a project in seconds. Enter rough dimensions and a species, get board footage and a lumber cost with no spreadsheet.
The kit
Gear we reach for every day
No sponsored placements and no pay-to-play. This is the honest short list of tools that live on our benches and earn their keep on every commission.

We write build logs on the pieces these tools help us make: the joints, the finishes, the calls we make along the way. Read along, then start your own project.
