SketchList 3D: Empowering Woodworkers to Achieve Excellence
Tony from Wisconsin texted us late one Sunday night. His homework, in the form of 3D renderings for a client, was due the next day. And he needed help. He said that a competitor submitted nicer-looking drawings for that job. The prospect asked for Tony’s 3D images. We told him what to do to get them. As he worked, he found errors in the homeowner’s specifcations. Tony won the job by submitting great-looking 3D photos AND working around the errors. He said he needed this job. And he got it.
You are a passionate woodworker, perhaps running a business and striving to create high-quality custom furniture or cabinetry. You must manage time, minimize waste, and deliver exceptional client results. But sometimes, it’s too much and frustrates you. It may even affect your income.
Many woodworkers find it difficult to accurately complete their designs on time. Using CAD for woodwork design often fails to help, as most CAD software is too complex and rigid.
One woodworker said of his business, “I can make anything out of wood, but my real problem is getting my ideas out of my head, approved, and into the shop.”
Sadly, many of us think we are responsible for design shortcomings. That’s not the case. The problem is that we are trying to use CAD software invented decades ago for metalworking rather than to design furniture.
We understand your frustrations because we’ve experienced them. We are here to help, empower your creative process and help you focus on what you do best: woodworking.

Imagine the time when you take your laptop to a prospect’s home. After talking, you open SketchList and pull up the last entertainment center you sold. The prospect makes some suggestions — TV here, bar there, and so on, and you make the adjustments in minutes. One user told us that once a prospect points to the screen and makes suggestions, he knows he has a sale.
