Dimensioned drawings
Front, side, top and exploded views with every measurement on them — readable at the bench, not just on screen.

Woodworking plans,
without the drafting.
Describe the piece you want to build. Timberbro works out the dimensions, the cut list, the joinery and the shopping list — so your weekend goes on sawdust instead of CAD.

- Real stock sizes
- Export to PDF, SVG, DXF
You already know what you want to build.
The idea is the easy part. What kills the weekend is everything between the idea and the first cut.
- Working out whether 18 mm ply is stiff enough for a 900 mm shelf before it sags.
- Redrawing the whole thing because the timber yard only had 140 mm boards.
- Squeezing six panels out of one sheet without a metre of offcut.
- Sizing tenons to a third of the stock, then doing it again when the stock changes.
- Adding up board feet, hardware and finish to find out it costs €400, not €150.
- Fighting CAD for three evenings to draw a box with four legs.
That is the boring part. That is the part worth automating.
How it works
-
1
Describe it
“A walnut side table, about 500 mm square and 550 mm tall, tapered legs, one drawer. I have a track saw, a router and a pillar drill.”

Review the plan
Dimensioned views, joinery chosen for your tools and stock, a cut list laid out on real board sizes, and what it will cost. Change anything and it all recalculates.

Go build
Take the cut list to the yard and the drawings to the bench. Print it, or export to PDF, SVG or DXF and keep going in your own tool.
What lands in your inbox
An optimised cut list
Parts laid out on actual boards and sheets, kerf accounted for, grain direction respected, offcuts minimised.
Joinery that fits your shop
Mortise sizes, tenon shoulders, domino spacing, screw positions — proportioned to your stock and to the machines you own.
A shopping list with a price
Board feet or cubic metres, hardware down to the screw count, finish quantity, and a running cost estimate before you commit.
A sane build order
What to cut first, what to dry-fit, where the glue-up will fight you, and which faces to finish before assembly.
Files you can keep
PDF for the shop wall, SVG and DXF for CNC or further modelling. Your plans stay yours.
Built for
The weekend woodworker
You have a garage, a decent saw and two free days. You want to spend them building, not drafting.
The semi-pro shop
You take commissions. Quoting a job means a cut list and a material cost in an hour, not an evening.
Makerspaces & teachers
You need plans a beginner can follow, sized to the machines in that particular room.

Questions
Do I need to know CAD?
No. You describe the piece in plain language — what it is, roughly how big, what wood you have. The drawings and cut list are generated for you. If you do know CAD, export and carry on in your own tool.
Metric or imperial?
Both. You pick, and the cut list uses stock sizes you can actually buy in your region rather than idealised numbers.
Will it know what tools and timber I have?
That is the point. Tell it what machines and material you have, and joinery and cut lists are chosen to suit — no dovetails if you have no way to cut them, no 300 mm boards if the yard stocks 200 mm.
Is this a replacement for Fusion 360 or SketchUp?
No. Those are modelling tools you drive. This handles the boring part — dimensioning, cut lists, sheet layout, joinery sizing, hardware — and exports if you want to keep modelling elsewhere.
What will it cost?
Not final — which is why this list exists. Join before launch and you get 25% off whatever the price becomes, for as long as you stay subscribed.
When does it launch?
The first private build goes to the early list. Joining is how you get in, and how you influence what gets built first.
What happens to my email address?
It is used to tell you when Timberbro opens, and for nothing else. Not sold, not shared, not fed into a newsletter. Details in the privacy notice.
