My x bought me one years ago

Another great vid, sir. When i click on the Calculator email wait list, it just goes to your products page...

I get the message here, but while watching this video, I couldn’t help thinking about the state of manufacturing today. As someone old enough to have watched the transition in my lifetime of companies making quality products that last a long time to making things that barely outlast the warranty, I would like to offer one piece of advice. Never sacrifice quality for efficiency. I get that you want to maximize profit, but making the best product should be the #1 goal, not making it the fastest. Just a little “old guy” advice. 😉

Hey, I just bought a laser! 😂 Guess I’ll get one of these too.

I’m a huge fan of yours Ryan and I am thrilled at your success. But this video does not surprise me at all. Having been a British Army Captain and the an Operations Manager and then COO of tech companies it’s easy for me to spot people that make the mistakes you’ve made. Efficiency does not necessarily equal effectiveness. One can be very efficient at being ineffective. Thank you for sharing this. I’m sure a lot of people will benefit from your lived experience in this regard. Onwards and upwards my friend. Love your channel.

REVENUE ..... made about $50K in 4 years in profit. lol.

ABS ... Always ... Be .. .Selling. #everyscamartristever.

"reverse engineer that" ...

"Alan & Susan" instead of addressing them as Mr. and Mrs. {last name} of GF. Ya, this is like wost scam bait ever.

500K in revenue. $50K iin profit.

I kept waiting for one of those sausages to get zipped up

Good video. Never heard the term GITMO but I understand. every project has a small imperfection to some degree. I work hard to minimize this but it happens. I still sweat the delivery/install but getting better at it. I like to think it keeps me humble and always strive to do better but there's always a point where enough is enough. Thank you for the video

How much is the Academy going to cost?

❤❤👏👏👏👍👍

Love it my wife is a perfectionist it was killing me

Where did you get that flap sander??

To be honest, Festool isn't really seen too much in millwork shops, like yours, it's more marketed to a cabinet shop/installer. Woodpeckers are more seen with "influencer" type amateurs and custom makers. And Microjig is more of a hobbyist set of tools.

super helpful

Another great lesson, true i got trapped in the perfection loop as well and true, the last 5% of detailing a product takes the same time of developing 90% of a new one. Thanks!

Thank you! It was useful. Hope to use GETMO more often.

I recognize your knowledge and success in this space, but I want to ask a sincere question. Multiple times it was said in this videod, "You can't scale this to making a living" and other people in the comments have replied that they absolutely already do. Is it possible in building a million dollar woodworking business and wanting to scale even further, that maybe there is a disconnect between your goals, experiences, and outcomes, and that of someone who just wants to support their family without running a massively large business with overhead, employees, commercial scale shop space, etc? I think where people are at in their journey matter a lot too. There was a time in my life where $1000 a month in profit would have been life changing.

I’ve always preferred, “Good enough for government work.”

Have a large workshop with 37 cncs but in the steel sector, built over 11 years... we refer to it as FFP ie Fit for purpose. Busy setting up a shop for wood sector in Europe and love to see that everything I know from steel sector will be highly useful in wood sector ;) thanks for shortening the learning curve

Excellent video Ryan. I'm sure I speak for a lot of woodworkers, laser folks, cnc folks when I say I am my own worst enemy/critic when it comes to this. Spend more time perfecting things rather than the using the GETMO mentality.

Excelente, gracias!

Diminishing returns! I will say that is the smallest scrap pile I have ever seen 🤪

Great stuff Ryan !!!

Great 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I'm afraid that my customers will see the flaws that I see when creating a product and not be satisfied/leave a bad review. I also find that I have very high standards for what I intend a product/item to be and I'm not satisfied unless it meets this expectation. How can I apply GETMO when I have these types of concerns?

Customers will never know what features you didn't include, or how things could have been. It leaves you open for better models and features in the future while making customers happy today.

Great advice brother. I did that for a long time focusing on the tiniest little flaws in a project when in the end I am the only one who would ever even see it. I'm sure lost many potential clients on that time.

You're going to have to change you motto to "If you ain't cutting it close enough, you ain't cutting it right", 😂

I wasn't looking and thought you said Gitmo. 😮 🤣🤣🤣

Great stuff!

What are the largest dimensions of any of the parts? I'd like to get the files, but I have a Shapeoko 3 standard so can only cut about 16 x 16. So I'm wondering if could cut all the pieces out if I move them around inside that square?

Cool. I'll be right back after I look up what a CNC machine is

Great video! New subscriber here

the problem is, selling as much as you can produce, is almost impossible.. selling as much as you need, to make a living is very hard because not many people need those stuff and than they wont pay as much as you would like to have for that amount of work.. if your cnc woodworking business runs that awesome, you would have 0 time and reason to make yt videos.. just my guess
