Go4Wood is a community and toolkit for woodworkers — hobbyists filling a garage with sawdust on weekends, and professionals running a shop. Plan it, build it, share it.
Most woodworking content online is either a video that skips the part you needed, or a calculator on a page covered in ads that you are not sure you can trust. The useful stuff — what a board actually costs, how much a panel will move across a humid summer, whether your cut list fits the sheet goods you already own — tends to live in someone’s notebook.
We built Go4Wood to put those things in one place, and then put a community around them. The calculators are free and always will be. Members get the plans, files, workshops, and the shop-management tools, and get to publish their own work to a gallery of people who understand why the grain match mattered.
Board feet, cut lists, wood movement, finish coverage, angles, fractions, project cost. Free, no signup, and built to be checked against your own numbers rather than trusted blindly.
Build plans with cut lists and material takeoffs, laser and CNC files, a species database with real working properties, a glossary for when you know what you mean but not what it is called, and workshop videos.
Forums, a project gallery, build journals that document the messy middle rather than just the beauty shot, a member directory, events, and a marketplace for tools and offcuts.
Project estimator with printable invoices, cost tracker, shop-time log, and a scrap finder — the unglamorous parts of turning woodworking into something that pays for itself.
Everything here — plans, calculators, guides, videos — is a starting point, not a substitute for your own judgement, your machine’s manual, or proper training. Check the numbers before you cut. See our terms for the full version.
Questions, bug reports, partnership ideas, or something that just looks wrong — we read everything. Go4Wood LLC · [email protected]
