Much respect and love! Thank you for your guys time and efforts into detailed information... keep up the great work!
My wife and I just started our own small business called Sea Air Custom Creations on the gulf coast of Florida! Originally from Kansas City Missouri, we are building coastal furnishings and decor and you’re very much an inspiring couple we look to for education. Thanks so much for all you do! Side note, I also had an 8 year old self that would be school girling over a carhart sponsorship. I’ll be sure to mention you in our video once we are sponsored and in the big time ;)
Literally, the most satisfying video I’ve seen in a long while! New to your channel and committed to catching up!
This is great. Always helpful and actually very motivating
Thanks Angie! Great to hear from you!
Awesome tips you two. Thanks for sharing.
I know I may be one of the few, but I love pieces that have knots in them. To me they add that character that I want for a custom piece. That is just me though, I know when you build to sell you have to think about the customer and what they are willing to buy when it comes to the overall look. Good work y'all. I found your channel last night and now I am hooked!
Nice! I REALLY enjoy you guys' willingness to be so open and informative. Your content creation process is awesome.
Wife and I have a Glowforge plus as well for last couple years. I've got a CNC too; and a ton of other wood working tools and machines. Soon as I get back from my 3rd deployment, its on! We are next door in South LA; maybe 4 hrs drive. I've got a few years left of active duty national guard, so I'm trying to do woodworking and AGR concurrently.
Thanks for the tip about Libraries having laser engravers! Never even thought that might be an option.
Beautiful setup on your board! Talented lady!!
Thanks for the video, you gave a lot of good information and have a very nice product. Keep on doing what you are doing!
Saw your boards in a search. Awesome work! Then saw that you both are Hurricane Hunters! Awesome! Love to the 53rd from Pennsylvania!!
I agree not to use the board with the knot in it. Up close it looks good, however from a distance it’s hard to tell what it is. Great job guys!! Always enjoy the videos and love the “cool transitions”. 😂
As an USAF vet, Go Air Force!
The charcuterie board looks amazing, and some really great advice in this video
Great tips!! Thanks so much💯
Glad you're back :)
I live just south of Houston and when all that cold came through I thought of you guys. You moved here to escape it, and we have the coldest week in 100 years. Then everyone looses power and water...good times...
Love your channel. Love how you use boards with knots and other characteristics. Might want to treat knots with super glue. Knots will eventually fall out.
Great information guys thanks
Carhartt is great stuff have alot of their shirts , sweatshirts etc. And i love the Guiness collaboration great beer. The boards look great btw. Keep up the great content.
Love you videos and the board. jut for people that don't know when displaying sliced apples they will oxidize and turn brown. If you dip them in a mix of 4 parts water and 1 part lemon juice it will slow the process down a lot. Keep up the good work!
That’s a great tip, Matt! Thanks for sharing
Orange juice will also help keep the apples from turning brown and tasty to eat after the photo shoot !
Nice Chicago river knowledge! ☘️
I have been following your videos for many months and Loved the projects with the knots in it my business partner always wants me to fill them in with wood filler or not use them many disputes over that issue I'm in charge of the building he's in charge of sales so that's why that's where our disputes ARA around look forward to more videos thank you Mike from Ceramica manufacturers love from Canada to your Channel
I've had my black Carhartt jacket for almost 20 years now and it's still the best!
Just a question - while I agree with placing food on the board, did you overdo it? Barely see what you are trying to sell.
Scott, customers care way more about the “wow” factor than the actual board itself. In some way, you’re selling the experience of hosting a party with a gorgeous spread - not just the board itself. Hope that makes sense
I completely agree. Seeing a picture like this makes me think the board underneath does not matter.
I think the idea is to get clicks, then have pictures of the plain boards as well, so that they can see the actual product. But your first picture or two is off the stages product. Am I wrong?
Definitely overdid it with putting stuff on the board. You can't even tell what they're selling. Looks like you're trying to hide it.
Looks great the way it is displayed, with less it would look anemic. Of course you have pictures of the board with no food too.
Hello. First off, your work is amazing and I love the advice you give for starting a small business. I was wondering where do you find your lumber. It’s hard to find good lumber. Also do you have a suggestion for engraving for beginners to give a personal touch as you do on your cutting boards. Thank you in advance!
Keep it up your doing everything good. Big fan 👋 from Katy TX
Guinness you just got to love the Irish love the videos guys. I'm here from Ireland
Wow - thank you. I appreciate the quality of your video and all the suggestions provided. As for Carhart, when they made their products in the US, it really was excellent quality. I had a pair of insulated bib overalls for many years as well as a waist length insulated jacket. The Chinese versions, not so much. I am sad to see so many great brands go offshore with their products.
Hi. Just now discovered you guys. LOVE the video. Another tip for laser printers etc. I belong to a Maker Group. Basically a .... collective I guess. People banded together, rented an old factory and filled it with equipment. Woodworking, welding, laser printers, etc. I pay monthly dues for 24/7 access to stuff I could never afford. I live in Minneapolis and there are several of these places in town. To see if your town has one Google Maker Space and your Zip Code. The one I belong to is called The Hack Factory if anyone wants to take a look. The biggest advantage is the members. We have over 200 people who are much more talented than I. If I want to learn something new, I ask around. Again, loved the video. Please keep turning them out
Excellent video thanks.
Love it!! What were your settings on the laser cutter?
Finally, a beautiful woodworker!
as a former business owner myself, I am enjoying your videos. good, high quality and important content. thank you.
I also have a question: why do you laser-engrave AFTER doing the finish?
thank you!
Just got a Carhartt coat. I had to go outside in the cold and it was minus 2 and very windy in Missouri. I stayed warm. They do make great work gear.
GUINNESS CARHARTT YESSSSSSIRSKI
Walnut is my favorite wood!❣💯
Wow, i am going to have to check out the libraries here. I didnt know they did stuff like that.
Hi guys we loved your video
I like everything about this new format and what you guys are doing. The fact that Carhartt is sponsoring you guys is icing on the cake. I love their stuff!!
Made me laugh when you talked about North Dakota being cold. I worked the oil patch up there in the Williston area and never will forget that cold. Seen it where it was warmer in Alaska then North Dakota on the same day.
This is the coolest channel on UA-cam
Well thanks! You’re the nicest commenter on UA-cam!
Love from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪
What size is the black walnut you bought and what price are you or you think (ball park) should the Charcuterie board be sold?
I'm new to your channel and have already subscribed.
You have heaps of great content and you're entertaining as well.
Can you please tell me what brand / model your laser engraver is, its an awesome bit of equipment.
Cheers from Australia
Love your videos what laser printer do you use?
Can you please provide a link to the compression template bit. Thanks
The weird thing is, I would also use the straight grain board for the photo shoot, but I prefer the one with the knot... I also think the one with the knot would sell faster than the straight grain one, even though it won't photograph "as nice"
Great video! What type of laser engraver do you'll have?
Amazing!!! Curious what laser engraving toll you use??
What grit did you use on the drum sander?
Who else likes seeing them in different gear throughout the video? They deserve it for sure.
My vote is for the one with the knot although it may just be the way you placed the engraving on the first board.
That second board looks awesome with just enough sap wood
I spy that Diresta Icepick! Sweet board and great demonstration.
What are the dimensions of your board before you cut them on mitter saw
How much do you sell these for?
Can you use this board as a cutting board?
Where can I purchase one of your cutting boards
What sander are you using there?
I understand what you are saying about the woodgrain, but I LOVE knots.
Us too! But this business isn’t for us, it’s for the customer. 😉
What drum sander are you using?
Good job guys...
Thank you!
How much would that one sell for!? And thank you in advance
Which engraver do you use?
Great video!! For the finish, can you just use mineral oil, or I sold you guys used your own concoction of beeswax and oil I think? Also what kind of woods would you use to make a charcuterie board? I know pine is out 😂
I don’t have the tools you have here, but would I be able to use a scroll saw and a wood file in place of a band saw and router table? I’d love to get started woodworking!
Do you guys pop the grain with water before applying the finish?
Yep! We raise the grain before finishing.
Thanks for sharing, I appreciate your videos very much.
Though, for the most part, the business part, I have some experience from being a decently successful tattoo artist, but some marketing strategies do differ.
I'm hoping to upgrade some wood working equipment in the next week or so to really step up my game.....but, I'm still stuck with trying to figure out how to juggle my wood working projects out of an apartment!!!?????
I have sort of already been doing it, and the neighbors do t seem to care (because they are at work, and I'm finished making a lot of noise by the time they get home)....
Where in Houston do y’all get your wood?
Great video but how do you price your projects? What do you sell your boards for? I am s woodworker and I struggle with this. I make cutting boards and have just bought a CNC and started to do carvings.
Hi Robert - we have tons of videos on pricing your work - take a look at our channel! This specific charcuterie board isn't for sale, but our normal charcuterie boards sell for $106
About how much does that laser engraving machine cost and what brand is it?
How do you know how to price them?
I live near Houston too. Where do you buy your lumber?
There is also a marker called scorch that you apply and heat with a heat gun. It darkens the wood and looks like laser engraving!
What to build cabinets out of?
Did you start with 4/4 or 8/4 walnut?:)
That is a great question. It did look fairly thick. I'd guess 1.5" thick
What exactly is a charcuterie board and what's it's used for
What type of laser engraver have you got?
Another good video!! You are not scared that those full plank will curve with time and humidity??
How do you deal with copyright issues with the image/likeness issues?
looks like they sponsored the vid so i could be wrong but I'm sure they are fine with it
How can you add designs on a board if you don’t have a CNC
Howdy, I live approximately an hour South of Houston in Wharton. I’m in the process of starting a small business much like yours to help me pay bills while I head back into school. May I ask where y’all buy your wood. I have been looking at rockler and a few others but find the prices to be really high or have a very limited selection. Can you tell me maybe like your top 3 lumber shops?
We moved from Colorado to Austin over the summer to finally put snow behind us. Boy were we wrong :(
Hey my family started in Beaumont.
I forgot to ask in my other post, what laser engraver are you guys using? What can you tell us about it? Like it, love it, hate it? Thanks!
It’s a Glowforge. Company based here in Seattle, WA.
@@alexreid4131 Outstanding! Thank you sir! Wow... $3k to $6k they are very proud of them.
@@Haunter131313 no probs. They are pricey for sure. Not the best laser engraver out there for the money but the camera and software make them super easy to use. If you don’t mind the learning curve and something that is a bit less user friendly but saves a ton of $$$$ then there are other options out there. For example I have something that does essentially the same thing but with tax and shipping only cost me triple and not quadruple figure dollars.
I dont have an issue with orders as much as getting them out in a timely manner with the time available each day.... any suggestions or have yall struggled with this when you had other jobs?
Batch out as many as you can at one time and then realllyyy streamline your fulfillment process! We’ve done a few videos on batching out boards - definitely go check those out.
Also, if you’ve got super high demand, don’t be afraid to raise your prices!
How do you sell your products Brad? I want your problems 😂
Try smaller batches, too! If you only have 2 hours to work, for example, you COULD make 1,000 cuts on the table saw and have a huge pile of wood pieces. OR you could cut, joint, and glue up a couple of board blanks, then while the glue dries, finish rout a couple of board blanks. Then you get paid the next day, and your list actually gets shorter. Once you work through your backlog, you can increase the batches a bit. I feel strongly that large batches are not practically as good as everyone imagines them to be.
Great advice from everyone, thanks. I have just started that if i get an order of 4 coasters, i'm gonna make 12 and so on. I guess i just gotta get past this hump and get a little more ahead.
Taylor, I have 2 youtube channels, IG, Facebook, etsy, and after about a year of trying i'm just starting to get my name out locally. I'm far from being able to do this full time but closer than I was a year ago.
Is your board a 2x6? And what is your price point for these. Wood is just so darn expensive now! Nice work.
Nice video and a lovely board.
One small issue strikes me: I think you overloaded the board with too much food which makes it look a little too busy, and you can't see much of the board itself, except the logo. I would like to see the handle too. Perhaps you could tilt the board a little. That would mean you have to "glue" the grapes down to prevent them from rolling.
Nothing like touching your own wood.
Just can’t believe people but these things. Simply a board purchased at a store, handle cut into it, sanded and called a fancy name.
I cut my own trees and make it into hardwood lumber and then projects. Have a lot of time invested in it. I don’t sell anything and its more a labor of love. Mother Nature and myself producewood that you will never see in a store.
Yes the grain was very distracting, was my first thought when I saw it go into the laser.
been in a lot of libraries, Never once seen woodworking tools like a CNC or laser engraver....not once.
You look like the lady from fuller house. The sister thats a DJ and loves to party. Lol
does anyone know if there is an issue with burning a brand in (with a branding iron) once the piece has already been finished with oil and wax?
I was interested to see that you put it through the laser after the fact...
We do it both ways - either works just fine!
Make sure the folded edge is facing one side folks.
I noticed your garage door is Not insulated, i bought an insulation kit at Homed Depot and lowered my temps by 15 degrees in summer ( typical temp outdoor 110 in summer), also warmer in winter by 10 degrees.
Great...now I'm hungry! Oh, and you misspoke...you said you don't want to put the pickles near the cookies. What I think you meant is you don't want pickles anywhere near that lovely spread! ;)
Dude those pickles were gross. Threw the whole jar out as soon as we tasted them 😂😂
@@jennieanddavis I hate pickles, so all pickles are gross to me
Do you ever tell the size of your boards and what you sell them for? Just curious. They look great and are not that hard to make. 🙂
Can you tell us about your Laser?
How much do you pay for the wood you use? Walnut?
