Workshop Toolkit
All your connected build tools, organised by what they do.
These tools share data as one connected system — enter your measurements and material once, then the weight checker, cutting guide, fastener finder, difficulty meter, and checklist builder all pick up those details automatically. Work top to bottom for the best flow, and save your project at the end.

Volt Workshop AssistantAI Guidance
Context-aware advice based on your project details
Beginner-friendly
Great choice for a first project! Take your time, measure twice, and don't rush the cuts.
Volt's note
I'm here to guide beginners, but I'm not a substitute for professional engineering advice. If your project is load-bearing or structural, consult a qualified professional.
Project confidence is low
Based on your inputs, Volt's confidence is 30%. Consider practising on scrap first: Start with a simple project to practise your skills.
Measurement Tools
Get accurate numbers and convert between units — the foundation of every build.
Scrap Size Converter
Type in any unit — get instant conversions across mm, cm, m, inches, feet, and yards.
Common UK material presets:
Measure twice, cut once. Double-check every measurement before cutting — a quick re-measure saves material and keeps you safe.
Material Tools
Check if your scrap is safe, suitable, and ready to use.
Material Matcher
Pick your scrap material and get safe project ideas instantly.
What scrap material do you have?
Planning Tools
Plan your build — difficulty, cuts, and fasteners — before you pick up a saw.
Weight & Support Calculator
Check rough safe load limits and stability tips before you build.

Avoid without expert
This is a guidance tool, not engineering certification. Always test gently before loading fully, and never stand or climb on homemade structures.
Cutting Guide
Tell us the material and size — get the right tool and safety steps.
Always wear safety glasses when cutting anything. If a material feels dangerous or unfamiliar, stop and ask for help.
Fastener Finder
Tell us your material, environment, and load type — get the right fasteners with safety guidance.
Always match fastener metal to your environment — plain steel rusts outdoors. When in doubt, use stainless steel.
