The YAKO Standard

Designed to be built,
not just admired.

Every plan begins with a real piece of furniture. We measure, test, and refine until the plan matches the object exactly — no guesswork, no assumed skills.

Proportions follow classical ratios. Joinery is chosen for longevity. Instructions assume only basic hand tools unless stated otherwise.

Our approach
  • 01

    Measured drawings

    Every view — front, side, top — to scale with full dimensions called out.

  • 02

    Cut lists

    Board-by-board breakdowns to minimise waste at the lumber yard.

  • 03

    Joinery details

    Mortise, tenon, dovetail — close-up construction details on every joint.

  • 04

    Assembly sequence

    Step-by-step order of operations so nothing has to be disassembled.

What builders say

From the workshop

"

The cut list alone saved me two trips to the lumber yard. Everything was exact.

Marcus T.

Farmhouse Dining Table

"

I've bought plans from a dozen shops. YAKO's joinery drawings are the clearest I've seen.

Sarah L.

Low Coffee Table

"

Followed the assembly sequence exactly. No rework, no stress. First cabinet I've ever finished.
