Plain AWESOME software!
I’ve had Sketchlist for a few weeks now and already sold four jobs with it. I just figured out how to put all 4 wardrobes into one project and run the optimizer to see what materials to order! Thanks, you just saved me some time! Thanks again for all the hard work you put into your product to make it amazing, you thought of everything. I can’t wait to discover all the tricks and tips in the future.

I am a beginner at woodworking but a veteran PC user (software developer/tech) so being able to use software to build the furniture I want in an intuitive manner before trying to figure it out in the real world is a huge plus for me. I have been trying to figure out a desk design for my studio for over six months without much luck, with SketchList I got it down in about 8 hours.

I have to say, I’m impressed with your product – so much so I did purchase after the trial. I’m truly a “basement shop” hobbyist! I’ve dabbled in woodworking in school and on and off again.
After an office remodel, I decided to make a desk to my liking instead of wasting time and effort shopping for one.
Love the software, keep up the great work. 🙂

I am a brand-new customer and, after 30 minutes, have fallen in love with SketchList Hobby. Your program is exactly what I needed – and it is so easy to use. In my first 30 minutes of use, I learned all about SketchList Hobby as I entered my current project. It’s just a simple crate, but it has to be exactly right in order to protect the contents that will be stored within. As I learned more about the program, and took advantage of the different views and tools, I found more than one…
