Cabinetry is definitely a Niche reserved for very experienced wood workers with patience and a very disciplined routine. There can be large sums of money for it, but it can be very daunting getting into it.
Ive done alot of built in closets and cabinetry. I have a custom cabinet business and will say i enjoy building furniture more tgen anything, i just dont get to very much. Always building kitchen cabinets and i really don't do much cabinet building during tge winter months
You can definitely make that work! I know lots of small businesses that are killing it in this niche as well. You just need to make sure you're using the most weatherproof wood species that you can and comboing it with a great outdoor finish so you keep happy customers and don't have lots of rework down the road. :) Thanks for the comment!
What are some good ways to get your name out there as a woodworker and sell your work. I have started my own woodworking business here in Canada. But I am really struggling to get traffic and get projects moving out of the shop. I find it's way too expensive to ship items which limits my reach. Do you have any suggestions?
There are multiple different ways to get your name out there, but it’s hard to know what will work in your market without just trying them all. You can run digital advertising like Facebook ads, you can promote to your local Facebook groups, you can sell on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace, you can do trade shows, you can set up consignment relationships. There really are lots of ways. The trick is just to pick one and work it as hard as you can and see what kind of results it gets you. 😊👍🏼
do you really not know what a corn hole board is? 😂 Please tell me you are not American. It is the most populat tail gating game. It is often called "bags" in some parts of America.
Just subbed! I agree with built in's, lots of money to be made but I refuse to do another one. I hate working in someone else's home. One and done for me. Looking forward to future content from you, maybe we can collab in the future.
I ABSOLUTELY hate my customers looking over my shoulder, or just watching me work. I have had to make very strict rules for myself and my customers. Once that is established, I can produce excellent work even though if I have to re-do it multiple times!
There are hundreds of channels that teach you to build stuff. I help woodworkers with business principles that helped me grow my business. If you’re looking for builds, this isn’t the channel for you. If you’re looking for business principles, we can help. 👍🏼
If you have problems installing cabinets hit me up. I’ve been building and installing custom cabinets for 15 years and everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Lol
What do you recommend is the best way to get started in the cabinetry business? I want to eventually own my own business one day but I am a complete beginner and I don't know if I should learn a few things in school or try to find a job and work my way up.
4:26 I don’t mind working in homes at all. The high-value work you do with experience and ingenuity is done off-site with nobody seeing how “easy” it is to do, is precise with proper measures and planning so “mistakes” basically don’t happen to embarrass you, and you can actually explain how you overcame the challenges which may lead to customer referrals. It’s a marketing opportunity- “always be selling.” 85% of the selling happens after the sale: the customer becomes your sculpture as you install. 5:55 kitchen cabinets- mistakes don’t happen here, either, following methodical, meticulous measurements and planning; you incorporate ‘buffers’ into the cabinet frames and boxes for custom fitting and build cabinets that fit the walls and space instead of making perfect boxes that fit a framing square.
That’s very true, but it’s saturated because there’s money to made. That true about all saturated markets. It just takes figuring out how to differentiate yourself to stand out and charge premium prices that will allow you to take market share. 😊

My hats off to you if you are a successful cabinet maker. There's so much more involved than measure twice and cut.
do you use a CNC for woodworking?
I build wall decor, cornhole boards and keepsake boxes. These items have done well, but not enough to quit day job.
What do you think about outdoor furniture...patio seating , picnic tables. That's something I was thinking of going into.
I'm relatively new to this but that's the what I decided my niche was gonna be. And although it's in the early stages, so far so good.

Your right we make things but don't need anyone putting pressure on the mind
Interior and exterior passage doors, kitchen, thanks for the video.
Great video

@@ianheil1560 oh ok cool, prairie guy here.
Why aren’t you showing examples… for instance, what the hell is a corn hole board???

We should absolutely collaborate somehow! Thanks for the sub! 🙏🏼

Where is your channel where you actually build stuff. I scrolled through this page and didn't see a single video where you are building something.

I build custom pet beds and pet dishes is this a profitable business

Some example pics would've been good to add. 😊

Sounds like you just don’t make mistakes. Rock on brother. 🙌🏼
just so you are aware profit is calculated after all the bills have been paid
Yes, I am aware.
Cutting boards is a heavily saturated market.
That’s very true, but it’s saturated because there’s money to made. That true about all saturated markets. It just takes figuring out how to differentiate yourself to stand out and charge premium prices that will allow you to take market share. 😊
High supply drives down prices though.
show examples wtf
You should show examples each project. Sorry but this is boring
🙄
