      Quick question, I've watched your How I Make Woodworking Plans // Woodworking Business. In that video you recommend Kevin Kennedy's course for Fusion 360. What level of Membership do you recommend? Monthly, or Lifetime? I don't see a point in annual as lifetime is only $90 more. Or is there one class you recommend?

    Looks like a great facility. A lean idea for you. Flip you fullfillment bench end for end. Put your shipping printer where your box tape machine is and your box tape machine where the shipping label machine is. You are currently moving away from your shipping door as you box up orders. You want your finished boxed orders at the shipping door. Save those steps.

    @deadlakeimperial Před 10 dny

    Excellent video, thank you for the tour. I recommend Kaizen foam for the tool boxes that way everything has a home and can be seen if it is missing and should be returned. I use the uline parts trays with tools set in the foam for specific processes or jobs. The tray I use just have the tools needed.The tray that is taking up space on my counter or work tables are the tools needed for that specific task. I have one for dissasmbly and another for reassembly for example. Having a tray for each action helps me keep things simple. It helps me from hunting for a tool in a pile of tools and thenone I need seems to be lost. I just look at the tray and see the tool there and place it back after using it. I wll always have it where I need it.
    I have found attaching small labels with pictures of the hardware or component on the outside of the bins helps simplify steps. I find it frustrating pulling out several bins that are all the same color looking for an item when a glance at a small picture and description label tells you what is in the bin. I love seeing the Kanban cards and I am glad to see that they help and work for you. Good luck and I look forward to more content. The new channel looks great.

    7:54 - I use to work in a print shop where we cut down huge parent sheets of paper into smaller sizes post-print, using a hydraulic powered guillotine cutter... I think this would help you in your efficiency and speed. It would also help to reduce worker injury from joint pain and inflammation from repeated actions of lifting the, what appears to be, paper cutter blade up and down, and up and down, over and over again. It doesn't have to be hydraulic - I'm sure they've made better ones since the ancient one that we had...
    Best of luck! I look forward to watching more of your videos..

    I use to work at a factory that had a "Flow" system in place. For every unit that went out the door, all material was re-ordered. At the end of the week if 100 units were sold, material automatically was ordered. I didn't understand it myself. I just assume it's off sales, and sales history. Con-bons were used just for line feed of supplies and inventory. Awesome to see your progress. As a self-employed person myself, it's impressive to see another expand.

  • @kz.irudimen
    @kz.irudimen Před 26 dny +4

    I think splitting the print farm part makes sense. But maybe you could still do some shop specific 3D printing content if you have ideas about that. A print farm is something different entirely from the average home shop, but I'm sure I'm not the only DIYer/Woodworker that is probably going to get into 3D printing at some point too.

    • @Bigdog1787
      @Bigdog1787 Před 25 dny +1

      Actually I'm into 3d printing, and got into woodworking because it needed a 3d printer workstation. It's more of a hobby though might go full time woodworking at some point.

    Great setup! You really put a lot of work into it!
    One tip for the KanBan cards when they go on the metal racks. Slip a couple of thin magnets in before laminating everything and no one has to deal with additional magnets, the cards just hold themselves. 🙃

    Hey Travis. I love your content. You are a big inspiration. Because of a lot of your ideas, I can’t stop thinking about organizing my garden shed, and my workbench tool area. I also really want to get into 3-D printing. I do have one question that I know that you know the answer to, but I don’t think you have ever talked about. Your business seems to be thriving and expanding rapidly. At what point, if at all, would it make sense to move away from 3-D printing to molded plastic parts? Is the idea to control the means of production and keep it all in house? Just curious.
