Tools for Makers

Technology as an extension of craft.

The best tools disappear into the work — leaving the judgment, the touch, and the making entirely to you.

Bowl Designer

Segmented turning

Design segmented bowls ring by ring. Set outside diameter, height, wall width, and segment count for each ring. Visualize the turned profile with draggable Bézier handles. Paint wood species onto individual segments or apply pattern presets. Add feature rings with mosaic inlay. Preview joint alignment in 3D before you cut a single piece.

The full app — with cut list, bill of materials, and stock dimensions — is coming to Mac and iOS. The web designer is free to use now.
