Enjoyed the video, took your advice and found a really cool hardwood store near me. Awesome.
Whenever possible don’t poop in a clients home! That tip works for any business! Love solid business advice
SO incredibly helpful man!! Love this channel!!!
If you showed up to build me something wearing that horse costume I would be so happy.
Information is solid dudes cringe though, wish people being informative Would do just that and stop trying to be Quirky
In one of your future videos, I wish you would touch on the topic of vertical vs horizontal wood storage. Some of us that do woodworking on the side as a hobby find that stuff gets warped standing up. In all your shots you show that vertical storage (I think you said 16 ft high). Maybe it’s the quality of the wood? I would love to know your thoughts.
another thing to consider in pricing is… overhead and profit. you can’t be a business without this. you get an hourly rate… but your business expenses and profit should also be accounted for outside of what you pay yourself.
Thank you!
Very good video can’t wait to try to adapt to locksmith service buisness. Love the cabinets 3 part, building some custom ones for my vans.
Dude, I am usually not a big fan of the slide in the video transitions, but I have to give it to you… that slide on 2:50 was super AWESOME!!!! I rewound that bad boy like 20 times. I guess we all have our style… I am now a subscriber due to the slide and your great tips. You the man!
Thank you for the great and entertaining content.
Asked the client if I had permission to open the drawer I was there to repair. She said “oh of course, just socks in there”…there was also a dogs battery operated chew toy……………….😉
Great inspiring video Jason, and very funny. Liked and subscribed! Greetings from England!
If you dont do customer work, what do you do now?
Ok, after a close up, is that beard real???
Most helpful Youtube video I’ve ever watched.
The most important of the video is don’t poop in customer house ! 😁
For sure deadlines can make your life stressful.
such good advice! thanks
Hay just got to say I had bing watching all ur videos I did carpentry in the union and also a floor installer for many years but my plan is to do what you begin making custom furniture and I can not wait I have some things to start but tell me we’re I can get all the clamp for a good price cause I can not afford it yet but really I like what u bing doing ur a Spirit racer
So unhappy to have only found the channel now, but so excited to have found it, great content!
Love your videos! Just FYI, I have learned a great deal from you and I appreciate you.
could you please add a link to all your tools such as hand sander. Thanks!!
If anyone is located in the Northeast, there’s a company called Woodrich in Pennsylvania, awesome furniture, but also a huge selection of slabs and Craftwood.
Great video!
I’m getting ready to go out on my own and there is a question that’s been weighing heavily on my mind. Have you accepted a project and told a client “sure, no problem, I can build that”, then get back to your shop and freak out wondering “how the heck am I going to build that?” This hasn’t happened to me yet, but thinking about it still makes me a little nervous. What has been your experience?
Really great tips. Thank you. Got me to subscribe.
I subscribe just for the horse tbh lol I learned a lot thanks.

When did this turn from woodworking to a TRT clinic. Haha
make more like this!!
Very helpful advice.
I was laying flooring in a client’s house. Needed to move a lg dresser my brother and I opened 1 drawer each and found the play drawer all sorts of crazy things I couldn’t even look at her when she came home so funny.
Thanks for going over this information!
I’ll never sell anything, but I still clicked.
Wait a minute….don’t poop in a client’s home? That explains why I can’t get any business. Lol.
Love your videos. When your in between gigs would you recommend spending money making pieces with hopes of selling, or wait until you have another client request?
clicked the thumbnail thinking that keemstar started a woodworking channel x
As a beginning woodworker I find it hard to set prices because I mostly make small things, so in my opinion people wouldn’t pay that much for something small. Aswell the fact that as a beginner, everything takes more time so the hours I would spend aren’t the hours a pro would put into it. How would you charge a client keeping this in mind?
For example: I turn a little vase, I spend 7 hours on it and some material costs (free recycled wood & some fininsh I bought). I can’t charge €500 in my opinion, charging €35 feels more natural, but is little money for much work. Just wondering what you would do 🙂 Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!!
Hard work is no joke. I build shipping crates all day and it’s not easy. Even tho literally every one in the factory will tell you it is. Yeah it’s really easy to cut a bundle of 1x12s, 1x8s,1x6s, and 2x4s then build 30 boxes a day. 44x24x22. Using a staple gun having to build the frame parts then stick the boxes together and stack them up 3 high… those things weigh like 80 lbs each 😐 great workout tho my shoulders and back muscles are getting jacked 😅
How do you handle the aspect of joinery in a project? Some people could hardly care if something is built with pocket holes and then you have the rare breeds that have money and don’t mind dovetails and such. Do you cover that with the client up front and give options because that really determines time spent on a project as well I assume.
Hi Bourbon Moth….!!! Thanks for posting this
Hey Man, thanks for sharing, some good tips that also apply to other businesses!
very informative!!! Thank you!!!1
Thanks amigo!
I’m so glad you did the "do do" joke.
Man. This was extremely helpful. Thank you!
You are F**kin hilarious man Love your content and the ww tips you’ll actually use is awesome for semi-noobs like myself
First part of the testosterone test is the finger prick. If you are afraid of it, you’re low.
I actually made your mighty Lego man for my grandson for Christmas. That took many hours, wonder how much I should charge him? 🙂 All good fun though as woodworking is only a hobby for me. I wish I could do it for a living
Never work hard if you can pay someone else to do it for cheaper. Personally, I love my immigrant housekeeper. I never hear complaints
