been searching for a specific challenge I had with angles for a while now, and this video gave me just the right app (even a second one) to solve my problem. I'm so happy! Thank you!
Thanks for the great info! I struggle with calculating my board feet needs, now I have an app to assist!! Thanks again!
neat video, helpful for the modern wood worker....albeit most of this is known, but not every woodworker is tech savvy...well done.
Wow to the Woodmaster app. We have it for both Android and iOS at the shop here and it's hands down the best of the lot.
Thanks for the resources, they'll come in handy on my next project.
Thank you very much for sharing
Informative. Well done.
Good info. Was disappointed with the Wood-shop calculator. It's list for $9.99 but when you get there its only for a 30 day trial. It's $39.95 per year after that. Unless your a cabinet production shop the cost is pretty steep.
Hi I am trying to build a chair that has a slat board look to it. I am trying to find something that will help me calculate the angle of the slat and how long I need each board to fill in the space. Is there something like that? Thank you!
I enjoyed the video and wish those apps you showed would work on an Android phone/tablet.
I am looking to build a smart coffee table with built in mini fridge, blue tooth speakers and adequate storage for a game room, does anyone know a decent blue print that could help me out with something like this? All the ones I find are the basic 4 legs and table top.
Thank you.
Have a look at mobile app Inches+Meters. Been using it for years now.
Hell sir how any interior furniture project to do mobile apps please tell me
names of the app's???
Excelent tool
This video looks like it was made before smartphones existed.
What’s the name of the app?
And you wonder how anything was built prior to an App
Lots of iOS, not a single Android app.
+Fredrik Rambris Check the description, two of them say they are available for Android, one is solely for Android...
Go metric..........makes life so much easier.

I have that makita router he shows, got it in the late 1980s LOL
It should be dead by now but it still runs great- love the free-hand fence accessory.
I don't see the usefulness of a board footage calculator. Nor a miter calculator- I cope everything and use a bevel gauge to cut the mitres the old fashioned way on a chopsaw or compound saw. This is all like sixth grade math. I just need accounting software for taxes and knowing I can pay myself.
Woodshop Calculator isn't free and you failed to mention that.
Jeremy Hall. The heading referred to best, not free......
If the US would just switch to metric, we wouldn't have to worry about doing fractional arithmetic. USA, Liberia, Myanmar only countries not metric. Come on people!
WHY DID YOU SET THAT HANDPLANE ON ITS FACE?!!!!!???!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
You guys really should take another look at the way you make videos. Theres too much unnecessary filler, at least for this kind of video.
JUst use centimeters and millimeters as all advance world does.
How many times has your country been to the moon?
How many deaths has America had due to gun violence? I can cherry pick random acts of "success" as well if you want to play that game.
Doctors kill more people than guns, and cars kill more than doctors, whats your point? If I'm not mistaken, math was used to get to the moon, not guns. Dusan is whining about Imperial vs Metric, please keep the crying to one topic. Cheers mate
U use what u want I will do the same u don’t like imperial tough ?
Woodmaster HD is a waste of $7.99. Thanks for nothing.
