BD FT Calculator – Easy Way to Measure Lumber - Rother - 08-25-2025

Hey folks 
Anyone here who still does lumber math by hand? I used to grab a calculator every time just to figure out board feet, and trust me—it was a pain. That’s why I started using a BD FT Calculator (Board Feet Calculator).
You just enter the thickness, width, and length of your board, and boom—instant board feet result! No formulas, no hassle.
Why it’s useful:
  • Saves time on woodworking projects 
  • Helps plan and budget before buying lumber 
  • Works for small DIY jobs as well as big construction projects 
If you haven’t tried one yet, check this out: BD FT Calculator
Curious—how do you guys usually calculate board feet? Do you still rely on manual formulas, or are you using tools like this too?
