The shop is cold in the morning, so the first move is turning on the dust collector and the heater before milling. A slab for a live-edge table gets flattened and the moisture meter confirms it's stable enough to work. Glue-ups from yesterday come out of the clamps and get scraped and sanded through the grits, filling the air with maple dust. A customer texts wanting a quote on a set of six cutting boards in walnut and cherry, so the board-foot math gets done, padding for waste and shop time, and a number gets sent that always feels too high until the lumber receipt is remembered. The afternoon is joinery on a dining table commission: cutting mortises, dry-fitting the apron, and snapping progress photos because the client asked. The deposit covered materials but the balance is due on delivery, which is three weeks out and needs to be communicated. Finishing happens late, wiping on the first coat of food-safe finish in a dust-settled corner. Orders ready to ship get wrapped carefully because hardwood corners chip in transit, and the freight quote for the table delivery gets checked. The day ends totaling what was bought against what shipped, and wondering whether the lumber rack is an asset or just frozen cash.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a woodcraft seller's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a woodcraft seller — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
