Joinery CAD & Technical Design
Drawings that hold up on the shop floor.
Practical experience that makes a difference. CAD design for joinery companies, from someone who has spent a lifetime working with wood.
Extra CAD capacity for kitchens, fitted furniture, and bespoke joinery. Technical precision, grounded in forty years of making.

Experience
A joiner who draws, not a drafter who guesses.
Forty years in joinery. Fifteen of those years in Canada, now home again in Ireland. The kind of practical knowledge you cannot learn from software alone.
Shay Grimes has spent a lifetime working with wood: setting out, machining, assembling, and fitting. That is the experience behind every CAD file. When a run of kitchens, wardrobes, or bespoke joinery has to leave the shop, the drawing has to be right. Not only dimensionally correct, but practical. How the parts go together. What the machine can cut. What the fitter will face on site.
He now works with joinery companies who need extra CAD capacity and a designer who already understands how timber behaves.
CAD Design
Accurate drawings. Practical solutions. Real-world experience.
One offering, built around how joinery companies actually work. Production drawings, 3D models, and the support to keep a job moving from design through manufacture.
-
Technical drawings
Accurate, detailed drawings prepared for manufacture, with the dimensions, joints, and notes a workshop actually needs.
-
3D visualisation
Clear 3D models that help your team, and your client, see the joinery before a single board is cut.
-
Drawing revisions
Updates and amendments as a project develops, so the set in the shop stays in step with the job.
-
Design to manufacture
Practical input on construction, materials, and machining so the drawing works in real life, not only on screen.
-
Full collaboration
Work alongside your estimators, makers, architects, or interior designers as extra CAD capacity on the team.
-
Flexible support
One-off projects or ongoing cover. Extra CAD capacity when the order book is full, without adding a permanent seat.
Why this work is different
Practical knowledge. Technical precision. Real solutions.
Practical knowledge
Forty years of joinery sit behind the mouse. Construction, grain, hardware, and assembly are considered before the file is issued, not after a problem shows up on the bench.
Technical precision
Clean 2D and 3D CAD, dimensioned for manufacture. Revisions that stay controlled. Drawings a workshop can trust when the saw starts.
Real solutions
Extra CAD capacity when you need it. Reliable, easy to work with, and flexible across one-off jobs or a run of projects. Joinery that works.
