BoardFoot Calculator - Boardfootcalculator.xyz

Hey, makers! 👋 As a developer who loves woodworking on the weekends, I was constantly getting my lumber math wrong. The breaking point was a dining table project where a "quick estimate" cost me an extra $200 and a trip back to the lumber yard for wood that didn't even match. 😩 I realized the existing tools were either too simple for real projects or required a forestry degree to use. So, I built the tool I wish I had: Board Foot Calculator. It’s a suite of tools designed to make lumber estimation simple, accurate, and accessible to everyone from hobbyists to pros. What makes it different? ✅ A Full Toolkit: Five specialized calculators covering everything from simple boards to raw logs. 💰 Accurate Costing: The built-in cost estimator helps you budget perfectly and avoid surprise expenses. My last project (kitchen cabinets) was budgeted at $800, and my final cost was $785! 📏 Pro-Grade Standards: It correctly implements industry-standard scaling rules (Doyle, Scribner, International) which was a fun technical challenge involving parsing old U.S. Forest Service docs. 🌍 Metric & Imperial: Seamlessly switch between units, perfect for working with both domestic and imported lumber. 📱 Made for the Real World: It’s fully mobile-responsive, so you can use it right at the lumber yard to verify prices and quantities. This was a passion project born from a real-world frustration, and I'm so excited to finally share it with other people who build things. Would love to hear your feedback and answer any questions! Cheers!
