Hewer Trade Toolkit

Lay it out before you cut.

Hewer Trade Toolkit gives you the layout math a finish carpenter does on a scrap of drywall: in your pocket, to the sixteenth, with a drawing you can hand to the client.

Pick your trade and your tools come first. Finish Carpentry is live with seven tools:

• Board & Batten: even batten spacing for any wall, with marks from the left and a board count.
• Accent Wall Editor: draw any wall shape (rakes, gables, cutouts), lay out slats, grids, tartan or diamond, and get a cut list.
• Shelf Spacing: equal gaps in any opening, with marks from the floor or the ceiling.
• Coffered Ceiling: beam layout, on-center marks and total beam run.
• Picture Frame Layout: wainscot boxes, chair and mid rails, and molding footage.
• Wall Layout & Material Estimator: walls in, doors and windows out, then boards and sheets with waste.
• Center Finder: half of any measurement, to 1/16″.

Every layout exports to a PDF with the drawing, the dimensions, the cut list and the material list. Share it by text or email, or save it to your phone.

Works with no signal: in a basement, on a roof, in airplane mode. Projects save on your phone. No account and no login.

Feet and inches, inches with fractions, decimal inches, or metric. English, Spanish or Russian.
