Make it yours

Small builds. A bigger life.

01

The Scrapcraft standard

Built different.

We build ridiculously useful small things for ridiculously little money—and turn the hard-won lessons into plans worth keeping nearby.

01

Prototype-tested

Plans are shaped around real builds—not imaginary structures that have never met a saw.

02

Budget made visible

Material estimates, shopping lists, and substitutions help you understand the spend before checkout.

03

Built for basic tools

Clear dimensions and practical steps make small projects approachable without a professional shop.

Inside every core plan

From lumber aisle to finished build.

Dimensioned drawings, assembly order, cut lists, hardware notes, and difficulty guidance—arranged to stay useful while your hands are busy.

Shop without guessing

Printable shopping lists, estimated material costs, and sensible substitutions.

Learn from the prototype

Build notes explain the choices, snags, and fixes discovered along the way.

Projects with a purpose

Small footprint. Serious utility.

Shelter

Motorcycle, scooter, ATV, bicycle, and lawn-equipment covers.

Workshop

Fold-down benches, storage systems, sawhorses, and mobile workstations.

Backroad

Micro campers, portable camp kitchens, and compact off-grid setups.
