Introduction

Are you passionate about woodworking and want to turn your hobby into a successful business? You're not alone! I'm here to share my top 10 tips on growing a woodworking business from scratch. These tips have helped me achieve my dream, and I'm all about chasing dreams. So if you're after that dream, chase it with everything you've got!

  1. Start with what you have

You don't need giant table saws and expensive routers just to get started. Borrow tools if necessary and buy more advanced equipment as you progress.

  1. Have a business plan

Pick a target audience and decide on the type of projects you want to build. Focus on becoming known for a specific type of project, such as farmhouse furniture or cutting boards.

  1. Build what you love

Pour your heart and soul into your work, and it won't feel like work. This passion will help you push forward and grow your business.

  1. Be patient and provide value

Growing a woodworking business takes time. Focus on providing value to your customers by giving them a little extra than what they expected.

  1. Buy tools as you need them, not as you want them

Don't overspend on tools you don't actually need. Invest in tools as they become necessary for your projects.

  1. Get a 50% down payment on commissioned works

This locks customers in and helps ensure they won't back out after you've started their project.

  1. Keep a source of income

Don't abandon your current job until you have a good idea that your woodworking business will work.

  1. Consult professionals about business licenses and LLCs

Check with your local authorities and consult tax professionals and attorneys for legal and tax advice.

  1. Focus on finding one customer at a time

Ask people to buy your products and make connections with potential customers. Provide excellent service to that customer, and they'll likely refer you to others.

  1. Work hard and chase your dream

Building a successful woodworking business requires dedication and hard work. Chase your dream with everything you've got, and don't be afraid to put in the long hours necessary to make it happen.

Conclusion

Growing a woodworking business from scratch can be challenging, but with passion, dedication, and hard work, you can achieve your dream. Follow these top 10 tips, and you'll be well on your way to building a successful woodworking business that you can be proud of. So go ahead, chase that dream with everything you've got!
