    your grandfather was a smart man, business takes time to build up but you are on the right track, i started with smaller items to build up my name.

    I have run a small business for 10+years. You are on the right track. Sell what people will pay for. Then slowly add products that cost more as you get more well known. Takes time, but slowly increase your prices. Eventually you can get to a healthy income by carving out your niche market. Best of luck!

  • @PandorasFolly
    @PandorasFolly Před 7 měsíci +5

    I know of one guy who does the whole super high end custom furniture thing. Amazing inlays, beautiful joinery, sometimes exotic woods, etc. Spenda a month or more on a single project.
    Said he got his start on that path when he went to a large arts and crafts show in Santa Fe, NM. And he showed up with 2 chairs and matching table, an armoir, a room divider, and a 1000 business cards. One lady bought everything the second day and he made over $24,000. He only had 300 business cards left.
    Now this was back about 2002 or so the internet was not as nearly as omnipresent but the leason still stands. I guess make a splash and know your worth. "If someone is willing to pay 7000$ for custom table they will pay $12000 or $20000 for a custom table" is what he said. Was told something similar by a ultra high end cabinet maker

    • @MrTresto
      @MrTresto Před 3 měsíci

      It might not be fancy brand (except for the Mirka sander) but it's not your average home shop either, it's very complete. Band saw, table saw, miter saw, router, big bench, etc. Honestly the fancy brand ones (at least Festool) mostly have SIGNIFICANTLY better dust collection. And are more pleasant/easy to use. But in the end, it's just a table saw, a palm router, etc. Except for the domino, Festool does nothing particularly unique.... You can do all of it with a Ryobi set that might cost under $1000 ...

  • @jameymikels1886

    Been a Woodworker/Cabinetmaker/Furniture Maker for 50 years..... have a full shop..... and I spent more than than I made..... but I finally made it to the upper brackets in the last 10 years...... I opened a couple Laundromats..... now I am comfortable spending more than I make with woodworking..... Your Grandfather and my Parents were right! LOL

  • @scotttatlock3188
    @scotttatlock3188 Před 8 měsíci +2

    I like to do wood working and I like to go metal detecting. I wanted to buy a little more serious metal detector, but could not justify spending that much. I took a few months of making stuff out of pallet wood. Stuff would sell almost immediately cause it was unique and at an easy price point. I got the pallets for free at work. I totally get your thing about your hourly rate. I did not make anywhere enough to do as a job, but it was enough to fund another hobby

  • @joelsolo302
    @joelsolo302 Před 9 měsíci +25

    I enjoyed the video. I am a custom woodworker that went to school for woodworking and still struggle with what I like to think of as imposter syndrome when making high end pieces. I really can relate to charging high prices and it not feeling justified. It seems to me that you have figured out some very important "self realizations" about where to place yourself with your skill level and charging for it. That alone makes you successful no matter what level you are. But i must tell you that if you wanted to get "better" it is in you, you just have to know it. Thanks again for the video. Good luck to you and keep allowing yourself to grow in the trade!

    • @oTAP3Ro
      @oTAP3Ro Před 7 měsíci

      A good thing to do to get over thinking you are charging to much is add a zero to the end of your asking price. So if you are selling something for $800 it would be $80,000. Too much? Well now if you only double your price it doesn't seem as unreasonable!

  • @adriaanvaneyndhoven1159
    @adriaanvaneyndhoven1159 Před 9 měsíci +9

    The beauty of the Mirka Deros is its dust extraction capabilities. So please get yourself a shop vacuum. The pressure treated wood is quite toxic. But great work and even greater explanation.

    • @AusWorkshop
      @AusWorkshop Před 9 měsíci +1

      Yes, it's the main reason I don't like using it. There's enough danger in dust without the extra pollution of working with this stuff and having it in my bandsaw, sander, dust collection system and workshop environment. Even though I always wear a mask when using machines or power tools it would still be hanging around all the time on your property. Over many years surely that's not good.

    • @Patenhtc
      @Patenhtc Před 8 měsíci

  • @damianmaynard2592
    @damianmaynard2592 Před 8 měsíci +3

    LIke what you are saying and what you are doing. You touch on the many perils of woodworking, the personal life style goals, the imposter syndrome ( we all have it ) 😅. The realisation of profit and time, the expenses of materials and tools, and dropping the ego and making what people want rather than what you want them to buy, all spot on. I have spent 25 years struggling in the woodwork world and its great to see somebody realise these problems, drop the ego and bang on with making some money, whilst still enjoying the work, well done pal.

    Hey there! I just came upon your channel in a moment of idle browsing woodworkers. I ended up staying and watching the whole video and really enjoyed getting your insight and experience. It resonated with me because it was also my Grandfather who got me into woodworking. He's in my mind every time I touch a piece of lumber--although I am just a hobbiest. I really like where you came landed with your outdoor furniture project. It is beautiful and stands out through it's simplicity and authenticity. Nice work

    I love that you include hourly rates. It's something I really started thinking about when I built flower boxes this summer. I had an overly complicated design that took me almost 3 hours to build. Found another that cut the time in half, which hugely increased my profits. Love your vids, you earned a sub!

    What's it like to live in a country where there's hardly a thief to be found? In the U.S., even if you chain them down, setting them out roadside, they'd be long gone by the next morning. Setting them out roadside is something you could get away with back in the 90's, but most certainly not now.

    The other issue with staining/painting treated wood is that you must wait around 30 days while it seasons before you can apply the first coat. So, if you bought the tools or supplies on credit, you are going to be paying more interest than you originally planned on.

    Are, you have managed to hit the nail right on the head with this build idea. It looks awesome and above all it looks to be very sturdy and will last the folks that buy them years, which is obviously well worth the price!!!
    One other thing, you really need to be using a dust collection system either a heppa shop vac or something similar as the Mirka Deros sander has fantastic dust collection and your sanding pads will last you a lot lot longer if you use a vac or something similar. I have the same sander and it's brilliant on the dust side of things when using a vac, the pads last me ages compared to when not using dust extraction. As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

      I’ve got a friend who has an autobody shop downstairs from my shop and he sometimes does furniture finishing when business is slow. If I decide to try try this outdoor furniture business, I think I’d sell it unfinished and refer clients to him if they didn’t want to do it themselves. Maybe he’d give me a commission.

    You should put a vacumcleaner on that mirka of yours, the sucktion will make sanding go faster if you use the right pads :)
