Starting a Woodworking Business | My Experience Building a Small Cabinet Making Shop

In this video I discuss how I went from working out of a tiny two car garage to where I am at today. It hasn't been easy but it sure Is rewarding.

Tell me I’m not the only one that sees a face in the side of the walnut cabinet at 9:06… 😂

Great video as always, Josh! I’ll definitely be joining the Patreon when you get it set up.

I think what most people don't realize is how much work, HARD WORK, goes into starting a business. When you work for other people it's easy to look at the boss and think "I can do that" and then you realize all of the unseen stuff the boss goes through to keep work coming in

What video format do you like the most with your content creation?

Can’t escape the hard work. I loved the video and the openness to share your experience. Keep going! You definitely encouraged me.

I do a little of both? I make some cabinets and do finish carpentry/ contracting? I found with my tool investment and vehicle ( 2020 3/4 ton Van) I did not want thee added burden of a shop? So I do kitchens, doors, window installations, base, some crown and stick with my small garage shop and do house calls !
For now ! It’s hiring help? That is a real twist !

Love your video's, great content and very informative. Allow me to provide a constructive criticism, the background music was a little intrusive.

I think there are some important things you didnt mention regarding starting a business, any business for that matter.
You recently made a large move from a north eastern state to a north western state.
But some research into the particular location you chose will show a major reason why your business will be successful provided you do your part.
And that reason is that you chose a very affluent area to set up your business.
There are other reasons as well, low crime rates being another very important one, as well as the numbers of people moving into the area as opposed to moving away from the area.
Fact is that affluent people are willing to spend money on things that make their life more pleasant.
Whereas those who struggle just to exist, dont have that luxury.
So that means that those who provide services,
be it remodeling homes or mowing lawns, will have a good opportunity to have a good income.
As the late great Rush Limbaugh said, dont be afraid to relocate if you want to be successful.
And dont let family issues make the decisions for you.

I moved from CA to ID. I’m going to build another shop to work out of. I’m undecided about a separate spray room. What size is your room? Too small, too big? I thought about using those curtain walls.
