Dude you hit 2k so fast! Like I subscribed just under 1k like a week ago. Now look at you. So stoked for you man.
I need to hurry up and get my channel started and give you some shout outs! You give me confidence haha
Thanks! Let me know when you start it, I'll be your first sub!
@@burnstockwoodworking, you’re awesome man thanks! Hopefully soon
I've had a woodworking hobby/side hustle thing going on for about 8 or so years now, and have watched every video I could find about growing a small woodworking business in that time. Yours is one of the best I've seen!! I just found your channel this morning, and can't wait to watch more of your stuff.
A new fan from Kentucky!
So glad you like it and I hope it helps!
Found your channel just a few days ago and noticed the Louisiana stamp on some work and got me wondering. Watched a few more videos and you referenced ida and southeast La being hot, I live in the Hammond/Ponchatoula are and guessing you are pretty close to me based on the church t-shirt you wore in one video. I’ll find your business on Facebook for sure.
Hammond area and I'm a pastor at Well of Life! Small world!
Good evening just happened to trip onto your channel and heard you discussing hooking up temp power, FYI a 40 amp breaker requires at least number 8 gauge wire. and when you go over 100 feet due to the drop in amperage and voltage you should run number 6 gauge wire which is good for 65 amps. I understand you spent money's on the 10's but it's only good for 30 Amp at best . Just advise for your safety good luck Jerry.
Thanks Jerry!
Great info, this was just the motivation I needed. Thank you!
Glasses might be a miss, but the beard is legendary!
Thanks!
Great advise. I'm a hobbyist and everything I sell is then reinvested into better tools for my workshop. keep up the great content.
Reinvesting into the shop/tools is the way to go.
I just wanted to comment and say it’s been a year apparently so 2100 subscribers is laughable now huh? Lol I just came across you for the first time right now but crazy how time flies. You must be doing a great job so I’ll check out the rest of your videos man, congratulations on the 19,000.
The few commissions I've done has always started with "Hey, can you make this?" and I've always answered "I can make anything!" Doesn't matter what it is, I'll take on the challenge. I'm right there with you on making pieces and saving up for tools. I started doing scroll saw work with a cheap, WEN scroll saw I got off FB because the wife wanted some Christmas ornaments. Posted them to my regular page (didn't have a business page at that point) and next thing I knew a few cousins wanted personalized ornaments. Made those and then friends of those cousins wanted them. Next thing I know, I'm spending all of Oct - Dec making these and made enough to upgrade from that cheap WEN to a thousand dollar Pegas' scroll saw. That was one tough press of the Buy button, let me tell ya!
I bet!
I do the same thing with my glasses. PPE adjustment constantly. I appreciate your content and humility. Thanks for all you share.
Thanks! Four eyes unite!!
Very kind of you to share this information with us, without trying to sell it to us in these hard times. You’re a good man. Much appreciated, Sir.
Thanks, hope it helps!
Dang, 2k now? KABLOOOOM!
Outta nowhere!
@@burnstockwoodworking Not true! Outta all the hard work you been doing! Psyched for you!
Dude thank you that’s all I can say!
Happy to help!
Great information and suggestions!
Thanks!
Keep it going dude, your gaining momentum! Love it.
Thanks!
Very informative. Thank you for going into detail where most people won't.
Glad ya like it!
Thank you for sharing this video I'm disabled this help motivate me continue making things and helpful in my income great job can't wait to see your next video.👍🏅🦅
Ah, you have the boom arm from the Death Star Guy! 😍 I just got a dust collection system, & cannot wait to build one myself.
It's my favorite part of my shop, you're gonna love it!
The glasses aren't a problem. I look @ the content. Love the hair, you're rockin it. Jelly of the beard. Never have been able to go that full or the hair for that matter. @ 70 yrs old I don't think it's going to happen. At least I still have hair and a full head ;) I'm OK with that. It's your content that matters and thank you for the encouragement.
Thanks! I'm on year three for the beard so I'd hope it'd fill in by now lol.
I appreciate the tips and the ideas I'm 66 it just getting ready to get my first shop thank you
Awesome! 66 is the new 28 from what I've heard!
Great video, great info ,now you need to build something to hold those glasses on your head LOL you would make a million.
😆😆Thanks!
😆😆Thanks!
I am just starting a wood working business. Your info is good advice. Thank you
Awesome, congrats!
Really liked this video! Keep up the good work man. I'm trying to start a woodworking business myself.
Awesome, hope it helps you get started!
Love the channel, comedy, sarcasm, woodworking, and some sound advice, these are some of my favorite things. Keep it up bud
Awesome, thanks!
Keep it up, love the content. Seeing you succeed is amazing and look forward to seeing you make it HUGE!
Thanks!
Thank you for the great tips I have sold a few pieces but would like to get a little bigger. I appreciate you putting yourself out there for those of us that don’t have the wherewithal to expose ourselves to the general public. And as far as the negative commenter’s go just realize that the majority of us that watch your videos don’t care about your hair or what you do with your glasses! LOL! Keep up the great work!
🤣🤣 Thanks!
I love the hair and beard btw. You should totally dress up as one of the Robertson's for Halloween. You know the guys from Duck Dynasty? Specifically Jase Robertson.
Yeah, I can see that lol
Awesome advice! Thanks it does help a bunch!
Glad it helps!
Good work, keep it up! Like your projects and your attitude.
Thanks!

Missed a golden opportunity there lol
Great info and tips....💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Appreciation!!!!
Awesome, glad ya like it!
When you said started to say "expose my business to as many people as possible" I really thought you were gonna say expose myself and then correct it. I am doing my first craft show second weekend of November I'm trying to get this woodworking thing off the ground and these tips are awesome. Congrats on the 2k and some change subs. P.S. I don't mind the glasses always falling and you adjusting them I do the same thing.
I actually came close to saying that and caught it like last second😆😆. Awesome on the craft show, let me know how it goes. I haven't done one of those yet. Good luck!
@@burnstockwoodworking so Mr Burnstock the craft was this past weekend I didn't sell everything but I made a couple hundred bucks. Now I got the itch to do another one.
@@CorbyQ awesome! Congrats! What was your best seller?
@@burnstockwoodworking a holiday table centerpieces. And wine bottle and wine glass holder
I took your advice and I’m looking forward to seeing how my business grows. Thank you!
Awesome! Keep me updated please, looking forward to you crushing it!
Really enjoy your videos, thank you for putting them out! I hope you get tons of subscribers.
Thanks, glad you like em!
Thanks for the start-up tips! I am very intimidated with the thought of starting my own side hustle...let alone custom project orders. Thanks for the encouragement! Unfortunately I think I found your channel after you hit about 1200 subscribers...that Domino is pretty cool, but not necessary. Keep the videos coming! I'll be watching for sure!!
Thanks!
“yes I can build it… Hmm now how?” Best advice
Story of my business lol
Wow! Great tips! Thanks!
😉
Loving the videos. I'll help the algorithm as much as I can :) Can I ask how long you've been doing woodworking and what your day job is?
Thanks! Woodworking as a hobby for 8ish years, as a business for 2. I work for an engineering company in the petrochemical/gas industry for my FT job.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the laser.
Good sense of humor 👍.
Interesting your explanation for Facebook (I’m old guy/low tech). My shop is same size 10X14. Do the laser need ventilation?
Thanks
Keep it up.
Blessings
You can use without ventilation but it will smoke up your shop. We try to use it on the back porch in open atmosphere. Thanks for the comments and kindness!

To the guy who can't get started because he can't afford the tools.
Most of us bought tools second hand and we still do. You can't afford an electric planer, you use a hand planer. Can't afford a table saw, use a straight edge and a circular saw or a hand saw. Or borrow them from a friend or family member, etcetera. No one starts with all brand-new tools unless you win the lottery and or already have it. It takes time and energy to start any business or hobby. It is much easier to whine than it does to do the work. Save money or get a second part-time job. When I first bought my house I had a rubber-made tote to put my tv on. When I decided to buy some furniture and do some remodeling, I worked all day at a very physical job 8-10 hrs. Go home take a nap, get up and then would go onto another full-time job overnight. I didn't want a credit card bill on top of a mortgage, so I did that for one year. I took that money, 3/4s into the house and the other quarter into an emergency savings account just for the house. I bought furniture, appliances, and supplies for remodeling). Was it worth it? Absolutely! That was one year's salary that was for one purpose only. Nothing unnecessary was bought out of that money. So it also takes discipline and restraint. If you really put your mind to it and it's what you want, you will find away to do it. By the way, I was able to purchase quality antique furnishings, which now some 25 yrs later are worth 3 times what I paid for them. An investment in my future.
Excellent advice! I started with secondhand tools as well and have slowly but surely worked my way up. Still have a ways to go but loving the process. Thanks for commenting!
I'm interested in getting a planer. Do you have any recommendations between the two and three knife Planers?
I used the rigid and Porter cable 3 blade planers for a while, then an old belsaw (it was a monster) 3 blade planer. I would recommend the rigid out if I had to choose one of the above. I'm currently using a cutech bench top planer which comes with a helical head and I love it. Much cleaner surface and blades last forever. It's around $700. You can find a used 3 blade planer for significantly less, just hop on FB marketplace.
@@burnstockwoodworking thank you, I see helical blade attachment s online, I'll look into that.
43 seconds in and I'm going to critique.... Should've used blue tape
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣this one made me laugh, well done!
How do yo manage table builds in your shop? Mine is a 12x16 and it feels super cramped.
I'm 10x14 so I feel your pain. Keep a clean and organized shop. I'll build the top 1st and stand it out the way against a wall while I work on the structure. I use my patio space as well when needed. Gotta love a challenge right?
My glasses fall down all day. Fkem
Is what it is
So you don’t use fb Marketplace? Just your business page?
For commissions. For small crafts like this I'll do a post on my business FB and then, if there's not a lot of interest I'll put it on marketplace but that rarely occurs. I use marketplace as little as possible.
could you see doing this full time instead? I just cant see working my full time job pluss doing this as a side hustle. I work 50 to 90 hour work weeks as it is. At what point do you decide you would give you company 100 percent attention and take it another step further?
Eeehhhh....it can be done, but I don't think full time woodworking is for me. If I had to then sure, but I enjoy keeping it as a side hustle and being picky about which projects I take on.
Do you put prices on your post?
I do not. If I lost it in marketplace I will put a price but if we're sharing a commission I don't list prices. This has actually helped to lead into more work because now someone that's interested will message us separately and inquire price which gives us the opportunity to make another sale.
Wait...your glasses moved???
Occasionally lol.
Could not here anything your saying you must have your volume down
Yep, these older videos had terrible audio. I'll be remaking some of these shortly.
Only thing I have against your channel is you need to turn up the volume because my volume doesn't go any higher and I can barely hear you like I said I'm 66 years old. Lol
Thanks for your patience! I'm working on it, I've went through about 4 mics, but with the one I just got today I think we'll be golden.
Hi wanted to see if you could tell me where you went on facebook to get business page? Thank you for all the great information on your videos and for not making them boring!
Thanks! If you have a personal fb page there is an option to start or manage another page from there. A quick google search will show you step by step how to do it.
