Angled Coffee Table
So we’re pretty much all moved into our new place down here and are now figuring out all of the furniture we will need to build for ourselves. As much as I wish we could have fit our couches, coffee table, kitchen table, and entertainment center in the trailer – we sadly could not. Like not even close. Not a single one of those items made the move with us. Instead we sold them all to re-build and re-buy once we got down here to Texas. So we bought a new sectional to go in our

Moving Our Shop ACROSS the COUNTRY!
If you’ve watched or scrolled past any of our content lately (ehhh…like in the last 8 months I guess…) you’ll probably see one recurring theme in all of it – WE’RE MOVING! Yep. We both got brand new jobs and we are packing up our entire lives and moving across the country. Isn’t that a bit crazy, you say?? We just got our ideal shop set up and a solid customer base in our area…. Well, folks…these jobs are PART-TIME. That’s right. That means we will have twice the time to put

Our 5 Projects That Sell the Best
We do a lot of talking on our YouTube channel about being efficient with how and what you sell in your woodworking business. Honestly, the majority of that is due to the fact that we (and so many woodworkers like us) have full-time jobs and do this “maker” thing on the side. For example – we don’t have enough time to do a Queen Anne Highboy in a reasonable time period right now that people would want to pay money for! The customer would have to wait MONTHS if not a YEAR for u

Does Price Vary by Location?
So, “Does Price Vary by Location?” It’s the first comment on our videos where we do a price breakdown: “I could never sell for that price in my area… people just don’t want to spend that much” We get comments and DMs asking this underlying question a lot: Does price vary based on your location? So here it is!! I mean, yeah. Price does vary based on location, but there are two main factors: Median income and demand for certain items in different areas. Median income varies. A

Selling a Modern Sliding Barn Door
This is the finished sliding barn door after it was installed in the new townhome! The realtor we sold it to absolutely loved the modern design. Finding big clients who have big reach within a community is all about connections. It’s all about who you know and who knows you. This sliding barn door sale that we closed was a perfect example of that! The door was for a realtor in our area who was designing, outfitting, and flipping a townhome that was just built in a really cool

Our Pricing Structure for Client Work
A few months ago we decided to design a couple projects that could be easily repeatable and batched out relatively quickly. This helps keeps costs low for the customer and we wanted to be able to make multiple sales within the same timeframe – resulting in maximum efficiency of our time (I know this is a super common practice since most of us have full time jobs as well as our woodworking side hustles!!). The first piece we decided to design to be “batched” was this farmhouse
