Make Something!

One-Click Realistic Renders

Make your builds look like the real deal with one click. We'll drop your design into a gorgeous scene with perfect lighting - instant eye candy for showing off your project.

Instant Assembly Guides

Never scratch your head during assembly again. We create step-by-step guides with multiple angles showing exactly what connects where - print 'em, save 'em, or pull 'em up on your phone.

Connection Compatibility

Our secret sauce - Crafty knows which parts can actually connect to each other. We only show you compatible parts. Just click and connect like magic.

Build Once, Repeat Many (NX)

Build it once, repeat it everywhere. Set your spacing, pick a direction, and watch your pattern multiply - perfect for fence posts, shelving, or anything that repeats.

Easy 3D Positioning

3D placement without the headache. Our smart guides know what you're trying to do and help you get parts exactly where you want them - no more floating in space randomness.

Snap-to-Connect

Get close and we'll do the rest. Turn on snap mode and parts will practically jump into place when they're near a good connection point - satisfying and precise.

Change Multiple Parts

Grab a bunch of parts and change them all at once. Rotate, texture, move, or copy entire sections in one go - because who has time to click everything individually?

Draw & Cut Shapes

Draw any shape, cut it out. Works on any surface with straight lines or curves. Make windows, notches, or custom openings - it's like having a magic saw.

Quick Part Swap

Changed your mind about dimensions? Swap every 2x2 for a 2x4 (or whatever) with one click. Everything stays connected and adjusts automatically - mind-blowing time saver.

Auto-Magic Grouping

Our AI figures out which parts belong together so you don't have to. It groups things logically for assembly - like having a really smart friend organize your workshop.

2,300+ Parts & Growing

2,300+ parts and counting. Lumber, pipes, brackets - you name it. Can't find something? Just ask and we'll add it. We're building the ultimate DIY parts library together.

Real-World Textures

200+ real materials that look legit. Wood grains, metals, fabrics - all sized perfectly to match reality. One click and boom - your plywood looks like actual plywood.

Copy Between Projects

Love that bench from your last project? Copy it right into your new one. Share designs with friends and steal their best ideas (with permission, of course).

Background Reference Images

Got a sketch? Use it as a ghost image behind your build. Perfect for following plans or turning napkin drawings into real designs - like tracing but in 3D.

Screws, Bolts & Nails Library

All the screws, bolts, nails, and widgets you need. They show up in your parts list and instructions so you'll never forget that one crucial bolt at the hardware store.

Real-Time Parts List

See every single part you're using, organized and counted. Keeps your shopping list accurate and your budget in check - no more "oops, need another trip to the store."

Point & Click Measuring

Click between any two points to get exact measurements. They stick to your parts and update if things move - way better than holding a tape measure to your screen.

Quickly position parts relative to each other. Click where you want it positioned relative to its neighbor.

All the Lumber Dimensions You Need!

Here is a quick preview of the current parts we've added for woodworking designs! Let us know if we're missing anything and we'll add it for you! We have all the common lumber but also have added lots of joints / plates for you.


We Know What Fits Into What

We know the size & type of each connection of each part of lumber
So we show you only compatible parts when you're creating your wood design


Woodworking Design Software

The software out there that's marketed for woodworking design is mostly just made for CAD. It's made for engineers that have expensive software and are already familiar with using complex software in 3D. CraftyAmigo is made to be simple for everyone to use.

You could be 9 or 90 and you'll be able to quickly put together your design. Crafty is designed around standard parts that you can get from your local hardware store and allowing you to place those parts and then snap other compatible parts to them. Very simple concept: Click - Select - Snap!

Our aim is to make the design and building process accessible to more people that love creating wooden furniture, wooden planters, wooden decking, etc.Once you're done your design, you can share it with your friends. They can then make clone and make edits or just build out your shared design.

Once you're design is done, you'll see the parts list and the exact measurement of each part so you can go out build it without making 10 trips to Home Depot!

Oh and it's completely free and web based. You can also transition from wood into aluminum 8020 or PVC tubes!


See & Buy Your Parts List

We include the purchase links for all the parts you need and we're adding the ability to

Questions?

Is this a downloadable app?
No! It all works on the browser. It works on your phone as well as your computer!

Is it free?
Yes the app is 100% free.

Can I save my design?
Yes! You can save your design in your account.

Can I share my design?
Yes! You'll have a unique URL for every design you save which you can send to anyone! They can then see or clone the design. They cannot edit your design. You can also delete it whenever you'd like.

What materials do you support?
Crafty currently have 1000 parts across
aluminum 8020, steel, wood, HVAC and PVC! Let us know if we're missing a part.

Where did the idea for this app come from?
I spent a year building an off grid farm and knew nothing about construction / plumbing / electrical work…
I saw that most people had to go the hardware store multiple times and many times they weren’t able to finish their work that day because the vendor didn’t have the part. So I thought if you can design your project beforehand, it will allow us to check for compatibility while you’re designing and then be able to send you all the parts! Much easier!

Can I connect PVC to wood, t-slot / aluminum 8020?
Yes. There are transition parts that allow you to connect PVC to wood or wood to aluminum 8020. If there is interest, we will start adding parts like motors and electrical components as well.

The idea for Crafty is to be a place where you can design your entire project with all of its components so when you want to get to building, all you need to do is order!

Do you have everything in stock?
No, not everything. We currently have about half of the parts and our goal is to little by little add more.
For the parts we don't have, we will give you a link for the provider that you can buy it from. Hopefully as the app gets more traction, we will start to carry more and more items so we can ship you everything in one set.

How do you deal with long and heavy parts (like 2x4s)?
When you have parts longer than 36" or of a certain kind (like lumber beyond a certain WxH), we just give you the dimension / exact length for you to go buy that at your local store. It doesn't make much sense to ship a 2x4 :)

Are you going to add more parts?
Yes. This current set of parts that you see on the app is our initial set. We just finished this version in late April 2023 so we’re listening to the feedback we get and will evolve the app to be the best that it can be for all of you!

Why not just use CAD?
You can! If you have all the parts downloaded already and are an expert in CAD software. Also, I would hope that your CAD software gives you a clean output of all the parts / their exact measurements.
What CAD software won't do is allow you to share the design online and allow others to see your design and specs.

Do you have tips I can follow for different materials?
Sure! Here are some basic concepts.
How to Use 80/20 Aluminum
How to Cut PVC Pipe
Can I Connect PVC Pipe with Metal Threads?
How to Connect PVC Pipe without Glue
