Thanks so much for all your info However, I notice that no one offering tips and tricks to business advice addresses insurance issues Like inviting people into your shop to rent or use tools There’s an issue there with insurance coverage Or loaning out tools Or surfacing other People’s stuff There’s liability issues therebrbrI’d like to hear and learn more about how you analyze the liability risk per idea brbrIe: someone cuts off a finger on your saw in your shop Or you ruin a $5000 piece of curly maple on the CNC Or someone destroys a miter saw while they rented it brbrI love your channel I’ve only recently started watching itbrbrThanks so much!! brbrI am the Kentucky Carpenter

As a homesteader and full time YouTuber since 2013 my main channel tanked for some reason People stopped getting notifications and income dropped to next to nothing in a short timebrbrSO half a year ago I jumped into a sawmill and wood shop full time Head first This is my business now I am making some videos and hoping to build this little channel as I workbrbrLive edge furniture is my goal I am working toward that goal now as slabs I sawed are now getting dry enough to use I enjoy the work It is always different I decided to switch away from "smalls" as well I started out making some small stuff and scrapped the idea I value my time much more than thatbrbrI do network with local sawmills and wood shops I pick their brains and see what they have Talk about my place a bit I believe it is a good thing

"I dumped a large sum of money into a coach, I think you should too Oh by the way, I made a course that I think you should buy now that I've convinced you that dumping a large sum of money into a coach is a wise choice" and that, my friends, is how you make thousands as a woodworker

Comment from : @nickdoeslife9531

easy to say build a 10k table, when you have a million dollar shop full of equipment for a guy working in his garage they may need to start small until they can afford bigger better tools

This isn’t the video I wanted, but the video I needed! Thanks for your Tips!
Comment from : @MyCraft_01

Man thanks so much for posting this I cannot tell you how much of it spoke straight to me and it couldn’t be at a more perfect time in my woodworking journey Thanks for the inspiration and all this wisdom❤️🙏🙏🙏
Comment from : @ambertwin00

Older video but I have to comment I just started watching your videos and love them I've been in the military for 17 years, just built 2 boats from scratch last 2 years, play with dead wood for outdoor furniture, and have to say that you have inspired me to try and take this up a notch Do you mind if I use some of your ideas in building certain things and try to sell a couple? I want to build them just to do it, but will have no use for them myself

That Black Rifle Coffee Company table looks cool, is that spent brass in the epoxy?

Comment from : @mstev5956

I wish the company that i used to work for would have actuly watched/ listended to this video(shared it to em) I did all the epoxy, metal work, millyard maintenance, and bout 75 of the design work at their company I ended up quiting due to very low and inconsistent pay A year after i left they shut down the furniture side of the business Every point you brought up was stuff i tried to bring their attention to
Comment from : @benjaminkline7301

I’ve watched a few videos like this but this was definitely one of the best Thanks for sharing
Comment from : @eatdrinkwineguy

WHAT ABOUT MAKING SOMETHING BESIDES DAMN TABLES BASCIALLY? Every big YouTube woodworking people literally make damn high end wood slab and epoxy tables Y'all buff and pour on something that is already a good table just by itself lol

Was that a call out of blacktail??? Hmmm
Comment from : @cjsawinski

Love the video, and the advice We are trying to move from the social media "show how to do it" to the build and sell to do what you did, make some cash! LOL And that is an exciting journey, to say the least So love all the advice I can get I found that networking with people also out of your niche and talking to other makers also helps a lot Kind of another aspect of your networking We are looking at doing trade shows, and I have started learning what works and what doesn't at different shows from the vendors I will tell you what has changed my concepts on what to build, when to build, and what makes these people successful Would love to see you make more videos like this one It great video, and a great channel!
Comment from : @WoodWorkTherapy

John, I have heard before that a lot of people find woodworking as a great hobby As soon as those people turn it into a business, they lose the love they had for the trade Any tips on how to not go down that path?

Comment from : @bryanharness1122

Thank you for this wonderful videoI have incurred so much losses trading on my ownI trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Comment from : @lawrencegabriel5294

No one in any trade gets rich from the money they make They get rich by investing their money If you don't charge enough to have money left to invest, you'll be doing your trade till you can't do it anymore, physically
Comment from : @vernonbuell3943

I think most people aren't looking to go this crazy with a WW business
Comment from : @stoneyj1a1

great tips
Comment from : @robintaylor-mockingeemill8223

All fantastic advise but I feel people need to be very careful with "diversity" in business You may not want to be like Home Depot, who does a lot of things but doesn't do a single thing very well (I mean the following in the nicest way possible) John does a lot of things but what is his true craft? Is he best at woodworking? Youtuber?, Teacher? Tool marketing? There is a very fine line when it comes to diversifying a business
Comment from : @chrisanthony579

show me an idiot who buys a table for 10K? And how many are they there?
Comment from : @nickupdated9981

Those that tell you to " grow your business" without clarity in the parameters are no different than the same snake oil sakes people who told everyone to " grow their business" in 2006-7 all those experts are no longer in business just using woodworking as an example literally almost no posts from those " expersts" on any forums during that time period (2007-15 16 etc) so what happened to all those expertsin the grand pattern all sorts of grow your woodworking business without quantifying or specificity yet speaking as experts

New sub! Spitting straight facts! Yuns…Pitt or penn state fan?
Comment from : @plutorootswoodworking

Been watching you for awhile and your passion for what you do can be seen through your craft and videos Love your point about diversity in your income So many different avenues you can take The point goes hand in hand with the quality over quantity and relationships with builders One avenue my small company bids on is finish carpentry Built-ins, crown, casing, or base are all great streams of income Every approach to a business needs proper deployment Proper feedback loops provide learning and innovative thinking to drive results
Comment from : @matthewhicks6895

I’d voluntarily get into a fight with a bobcat in a phone booth to have you as a coach! Really been kicking around the thought of starting a full blown business like this but have absolutely no idea of how to get started lol! I wanna but used tools but I also wanna just say to hell with it and buy all the bougie Gucci gear and get after it haha!
Comment from : @kurtiswalters3607

no offence I am proud for your successful business but if you're selling tables to someone for $10,000 you got to be selling them to rich people not everyone can afford this kind of money especially in these hard economic times what abought a million other middle class to low- income people that needs something on a less budget that doesn't require them to go to Walmart or someplace like that to buy garbage made overseas is there a living to be made in woodworking there?

Comment from : @kuchniebauformatstudiowork4922

Furniture for me and my household Cutting boards and blanket ladders for the people outside my door brWhy? I build wine cabinets and giant cabinets that will last 100 years, that are bulletproof, and cost over $1000 in material alone (white oak) And, people are not trying to buy that They say Ashley Furniture charges $1500 for an entire set, why would I buy your stuff And, well, within 10 years, they'll start finding out

John great stuff thank you for all the wisdom I will be doing craft to corse
Comment from : @E1337Jerk

Love your content! I’m interested in the DIY level course Been trying to figure out “what I’m doing wrong” Your course might help It looks like the course is an hour and a half with 36 videos So each video is only an average of 25 minutes?
Comment from : @monicaharvell

Tip # 11 Be sure to recognize wasteful spending as you start your business No pun intended John but if I wanted to spend 500I'd just keep watching you on Youtube; for 250 a monthim starting to imagine the tools & or equipment I could be purchasing insteadand for a 1000 a month, starting or continuing a business, I would be going OUT of business Think about that next time you're entertaining your vision of grandeur
Comment from : @jeremyv2040

Thanks John , your comments are true for any craft business
Comment from : @grahamredfern8969

Comment from : @jennieanddavis

I'm finding it hard to just get started Even just getting it to the hobby stage I love joinery and the industrial style I work as a CAD Technician so I've designed a few different styles of tables, desk, TV stands etc Just general furniture but with a full time job and no clear path, I'm stuckbrFantastic video though, really informative
Comment from : @swivvy3037

It always seems like a balancing act Most people say that you makes the best percentage profit on small items but like you say doing that for too long can you burn anyone out and drive you away I'm just starting out so small is all I can do Hopefully they turn some profit soon that I can invest in better machines and materials
