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!
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Brutal well spoken honesty. Its a grind and a struggle out here every day. The world is upside down and making the best of it, staying busy, mentally focused and spiritual is a balancing act
Well said 💯🙂
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
I am an amateur woodworker and found your video to be very practical and inspiring. I especially loved the advice regarding wasting time on finishing. Hats off and respect to your grandfather who truly a great man planted the seeds in your soul.
Finally a video for the normal woodworkers who don't have all the fancy equiptment.
Keep it up and keep it simple
For real. I'm fed up of seeing every woodworking CZcamsr decked out with every Festool product going.
but he does have a table saw and those tools soo what do you mean?
Have you seen the price on that Mirka sander? He has WELL more money in tools than the "average" woodworker. Just saying
I agree
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 ...
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
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
Got here to write the same thing. That dust is no joke
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.
Fantastic channel!
I love what you are doing Are. Thank you.
Nice to see you back Are!
Great video, your furniture looks great.
Great advice and stated perfectly and clearly, thanks.
I just simply love the simplicity and yet elegance of the bench design. Great work!! I also agree with your findings about selling things. Keep up the awesome work.
Love the advice. I have had the same issues and this is extremely helpful.
Que bien verte por acá de nuevo. Excelente proyecto!! Saludos desde Chile.
Outstanding advice! I totally agree with so much of what you pointed out in this video.
Love your honesty mate!
I like the pointing device!
Thank you for sharing your experiences
Thanks for sharing your journey and your work.
Excellent video and great skills. Thanks
Excellent advice and Tips
Thank you
great tips from you and your grandad bro, thank you
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’m going to make a set and see how it goes, thanks friend!
Fascinating and enlightening. 👏👏👏
I saw this video come up and wasn't going to watch it (idk why) but then it came up again today, and I clicked on it. I'm really glad I did! Very laid back and informative video.
This is one of the nicest-looking simple designs I have seen. Great 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!
Love the style of your video. Very well explained and the stories/wisdom from your grandpa is a beautiful touch that really gives the video a very unique and warm feel. Kudos my friend!
Honesty and tips, i'm in, suscribed.
Welcome back! I hope things are going well for you.
I am going through the same, realizing too much time is spent without the experience or confidence to sell high and realizing there is no path to success sticking with that. Still seeking my niche though. Appreciate what you said here!
Awesome video, I appreciate that you're making these videos. Tusen takk
Good honest video, thanks
Top work and top man, be lucky, thanks for the video
Interesting but you left off some major costs. VAT (or equivalent) plus delivery time costs are two major things that spring to mind.
Complete new b to carpentry and I got soooo much out of this video. Thank you for uploading
Very nice. Thank you!
Nice work and a very good job. 20+ year union cabinetmaker here, and I love this video and your work. Thank you! Best of success to you, and may God grant you many years.
Good solid furniture! Keep making what will sell and you can still have time to make what you want.
Way to go, hope you have great success with your business!
I'm glad I stumbled across one of your project videos a few days ago, I just didn't get to watch the whole video. I'm a subscriber now, so I won't miss any of your uploads and now I can go back and watch them when I'm out for knee surgery in the coming months.😎
Hey man. From Texas, US and I gotta say you're doing something right here! Keep up the good work 💪
I enjoyed the tongs at the end quite a bit. Top notch.
You are wise beyond your years. Very good and useful advice. Best of luck to you.
Very interesting video and quite unusual in that you don't just talk about making money, you put the figures out there for everyone to see. You do quality work which is also a plus.
Good job.
Nice to find your channel, really enjoyed the video and information. Nice work 💯
Nice looking set! Good luck and hope you are successful in all your future endeavors.
Excellent video. I think you are on to a great idea.
Great job! Watching from Canada.
Good job and good luck!
Great video!
Thanks for all the tips. I'm currently in the same position are you were in. I need to change myself as a woodworker.
Good luck and wish you all the best!
Well done Are. You earned another subscriber.
Very good man, keep going!
I own a co in Pittsburgh that builds Floating Decks full time and we share the same philosophy of letting the customer color their piece! We've only ever had 1 single customer request that WE stain their deck! 💯
Great job. I love the discussion of the money and marketing as much as I like watching the building.
good on ya mate . grandfather was right greets from Australia
Thanks for making these videos brother. Great job! Please look after your lungs and use a good mask especially with pressure impregnated wood. Keep up the nice work. God bless you and your business
Superb video, thank you.
I love the simplicity of the design, and I have purchased a set of plans from you.

Really cool, thanks for sharing. I'm not a woodworker or carpenter but I hope you make gobs of money for this custom made furniture.
Sounds like your grandfather made a lot of sense. At least you tried it your way and come full circle. It is a great design and well priced good luck on your journey and of course it’s well worth a sub

Thanks, Brian!
space for all this is super important, wish i had good space
Thank you for the inspiring video!
Thanks for watching, Nancy!
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.
not everywhere, but definitely like that where I live…sad.
Just stumbled across your video! Great watch, lovely build, and interesting take on things! I’ll be stopping by to watch more!
I have the same Mirka, and I would really recommend getting an extractor to use with it! You’ll thank me later!
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.
well done woodworking bro
There is a lot of wisdom in this video, kudos on that! Much of that wisdom is not taught in business degrees or classes, sadly
Good video. I made an outdoor set last year for. Customer. It turned out great.
Awesome!

Cool video!
Thanks a lot for your video and for you clean English I'm understand almost all things without translator ! Thanks again 👍
Good luck with your business !
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 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
Enjoyed watching 😊best wishes for your new endeavor 🙏
Thank you! Glad to hear that :)
Hello from Indonesia ..you are good
That was a great video, full of information and very well put together. Could I ask, where did you get the wooden mask on your wall. Did you make this, or did you buy it from somewhere?
Nice video. You gained a new subscriber
Som alltid underholdende og lærerikt 😊👌
Glad for å høre det! :)
Going to give the not finishing a product a try in my sales. Just getting started in my area with selling furniture but almost done with 3 outdoor benches. Going to finish 1 of the 3 for pictures / giving to wife's parents.
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.
First time watcher, and now subscriber !
good video :)
You should put a vacumcleaner on that mirka of yours, the sucktion will make sanding go faster if you use the right pads :)
Mange bra tips👍🏼 drive ikkje med trearbeid, men prinsippene kan øveførast t møkje forskjelligt👍🏼
