[@StonesAndSand]

Former tool & die maker / engineer / tech-ed instructor in another life...and I 100% verify Evan's point of view of "bringing it all home" with a small-scale manufacturing. My morning commute consists of walking down 13 stairs to get to the shop. Kudos E&K for such an inspirational video.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

We love keeping it all at home! Thank you 😁😁

[@katzmosestools]

As someone who's used all the steps you covered, this video is spot on. I now have several products in various phases of these steps and the only thing I would caution people on is those cnc financing plans. Usually they're worse than your credit card. When I was looking into them they were about 32 percent interest.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

YAY!! Thanks for chiming in and the heads up 😀👍

[@anoirbentanfous]

I thought the same and it's wiser to build your own cnc... since you have a 3D printer then it will be very possible nowadays and there is many open source project that make it easier and customizable as well... it will not be as robust maybe as those who are made by big brands but it's for sure worth it for a certain price range and quality requirement (crafty stuff doesn't need to be super precise as mechanical parts)

[@individualone]

I just simplified it by buying a dremel,printing out a quick swap carriage...i route with my 3d printers 👍

[@chuckmakesit]

@@anoirbentanfous Definitely an option there days. The MPCNC (Mostly Printed CNC) is a good place to start. Also there's a company called CNC Router Parts offering parts for more heavy duty DIY machines.

[@ohammouda]

I totally agree. The video is amazing and all the tips they say are actually very practical.

[@BradParler]

Omg! The progress bar with the points being made is pure awesome!!! Thanks so much for putting epic content out there like this, have been plotting a new massive build that will require a lot of time, big-ish machines, and that all means a few nice loads of cash, re-thinking and planning now!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks, we had fun with the progress bar!! Katelyn kinda lost it when I suggested that we use a cat as the marker hahaha! Good luck with the massive build!

[@GeneJordan]

I love the cat as a progress bar icon! I'm guessing it was "Supervisor Approved!" Bonus: it shows up when casting to a TV with a Google Chromecast!

[@jackyhawk6810]

Brad Parler Me too. Best of luck in the new year.

[@3DJapan]

It took me a few minutes to figure out what that was.

[@stonecoldcarebear]

Find someone that looks at you the way that Evan & Katelyn look at their robot army 🤖

[@inventables]

Great advice, you two! Thanks for bringing us into your world!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks for helping us make stuff possible!

[@dr.diggle5157]

You guys should do a video on taxes and accounting for your manufacturing company

[@SzymczykProductions]

Who pays taxes 😂

[@John-Adams-Can]

Absolutely great video on small business! Well done. I work in the auto industry as a Mechanical Designer and am starting a side business and the piece of advice you touched on that is most important is "design for manufacturability". Even tho the company I work for makes multimillion dollar machines, it's core is to remove metal as efficiently as possible and reduce the complexity such as removing multi processes (IE when it has to go from a welder to a machinist to a powercoater instead of just waterjetting a piece of aluminum in the first place). As you also touched on working with an outsourcer on your designs is critical. Use their knowledge to your advantage. Also, if you do want to scale up later, put the time into learning the design software as opposed to making chips (wood or metal). It takes seconds to correct a concept (and little money) but hours and big dollars to correct an actual physical product. As always, thanks for the content!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

So many truths here!!! Thanks for the additional tips for folks!

[@twahaissa3333]

inspired

[@fathertimepower]

This video is so spot on. I'm currently working through my business degree and alot of the stuff mentioned in this vid are things they teach or at least mention in business 101. This will benefit so many people out there looking for help with their business.

[@StudioJLT]

Income diversification is such a big part of small business as well. I see you guys doing it well with content generation, merch, patrion, and products. Multiple product lines are important as well.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Such true words! When family and friends ask us how we make money on KZbin we have to tell them a really long answer to encompass all the little bits and pieces. Totally applies to different product lines too!

[@3DJapan]

Things get confusing like that though, with money coming in from all different sources.

[@MakeSomething]

EXCELLENT video! If this silly KZbin dream doesn't work out I'm putting these tips into place and will start selling.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks so much David!! When we first started making things to sell, your video on how to price your work was one that was really helpful to us 😀 (video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6bConl6ltN6hrs if anyone has not seen it)

[@askquestionstrythings]

I can't count the number of times I've told people to go watch David's video on "how to price your work" (literally every time someone asks "what should I charge")

[@MikkosFree]

Yup. It's how I price my work now. Although scaled down for my currency and country.

[@benicio1967]

EvanAndKatelyn hey thanks for this link! 😄👍🏻😄

[@RruiSoul]

Well... it worked out! Good for you my brudda!!

[@SpecificLove7]

Great info, thanks for sharing

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!

[@JonnyBuilds]

This is great guys! Thanks for all the tips.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!! Glad you found it helpful!

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

Those are fantastic insights!! Love the concept of taking how something prints/cuts and making it a feature rather than something to work around.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you so much! Yeah if you can figure out designs that work with the cuts/lines... It helps a TON

[@sanjayjogdand9102]

Thanks!

[@BruceAUlrich]

That was a cool concept with the different sections. It was very clear what was happening. And great information! Especially with the points about using some limitation of a machine to add to the design like the spirals in the ring dish.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Wooo, glad breaking it up into sections helped segment it - we were a little worried about it all running together. and yesssss we love when we can make the machine cut lines/layer lines/etc be a feature!

[@stevenw4549]

Two sweet people. Don't ever forget how happy you are right now. Money doesn't matter.

[@LXWiseman]

I really liked this, it was helpful and informative and a great jumping off point for somebody like me who isn't sure how to begin. Thank you both!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Wooooo, glad you found it helpful! And good luck with taking the jump!

[@ellisstuart8256]

Such a helpful video, it's the kind of information I've been trying to find for a while. Thank you 😊

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Yayyyy!! So glad to hear that! We might try to walk through another example more in depth one day 😊

[@randomdudr]

Lovely couple with a nice business. Thanks for the advice. Love it

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

thank you!

[@yououtuber4176]

I can see you worked as design engineer. The approach to make the manufacturing process as part of the end product (like the topography lines) is absolutely the way to go. Way to go.

[@heyimamaker]

I think what overwhelms people is that they see where they want to be, or know that "I want to be successful" but they don't know how to get there. This is a very good video, and the thing I love about Making is that you can substitute wood with an app, or website, or recipe. The principles are generally the same. Well done!

[@kuro13wolf]

Not all principals are the same, some of them care about their students. (see: principles)

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

You have a very good point! And it's hard to know where you want to be when there's not a ton of info out there about where you even could be. Glad you like the video!!

[@FigmentsMade]

Thanks for putting all this info together! It's really helpful! Now to find the perfect thing for the robot army to make...

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks for helping us! Y'all's feedback on Patreon really helped take it to the next level.

[@FigmentsMade]

Always happy to help! You guys are awesome!

[@johncharlesbuccat3766]

Thank you for the tips maam and sir!😊😊😊.. I am a third year college student and I am (somehow, hahaha) making customized keychains, MANUALLY.. hahaha lots of hardwork and ups and downs, but still I like what I do and now I am more inspired on making "stuff". Thank you again! 😊😊

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Anything manual is tough! But that's really cool that you've been able to keep up a side hustle in school, it's a lot of work! Good luck!

[@Thepracticalengineer]

Very good video! Especially the make the design work for the manufacturing method gets often overlooked in my experience. Designing with manufacturing in mind can definitely improve it indeed.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!! The product design strategy has been one of the biggest things for us!

[@Goatfellas780]

LOVE THIS! i started the same path hoping to sustain myself through college. all the best to you two

[@elizabethjordan5520]

SUCH an interesting vid- and congrats on 100K!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

YAYY so happy to hear that, and thanks so much!!

[@FreeUp]

Awesome video Evan and Katelyn specially for those who are just beginning in their businesses. You should also consider outsourcing if you want to scale more. With outsourcing online - you can outsource non value adding tasks such as customer service, accounting and others then you can focus on growing/scaling/expansion , sales and more important tasks of your business

[@FreeUp]

You can also check the freeeup channel - we got some awesome videos regarding outsourcing

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Very good tips!

[@illhamakbar5467]

I need a lesson video about "how to find a beautiful wife who support me on everything i want to do to make money" Thanks

[@jamesc4196]

Illham Akbar The start is to support yourself on everything you want to do, and do it regardless of weather others approve of you or not. Write down what you want in a woman in one column on a white sheet of paper with a blue pen, and write down a column of what you don’t want. Make it detailed, write it down, and then forget about it. 3 Months later come back to this post and share your success story. Peace!

[@genericdeveloper3966]

good luck with that. I mean it, seems to be very rare

[@jamesc4196]

Yes it is "rare" because men who DESERVE a women like that and BELIEVE they can have it is rare. You need to get right with yourself, seriously. You have limiting beliefs about this topic, alot alot of people do. You have to face them within yourself before you expect to be the right fit for a good woman. There is nothing "wrong with you" now, but there are things you need to change. Your perception of the world, how you carry yourself, your vision of yourself etc. Check out a book "How to be a 3% Man by Coach Corey Wayne" that one really helped me!

[@genericdeveloper3966]

@@jamesc4196 That sounds great, but I can count on one hand the number of wives I've seen that share their husband's career passions like this. I could hold out for a unicorn too, but a good horse gets the job done and I know they actually exist and in abundance.

[@jamesc4196]

Randall Gmail I understand Randall. And to each their own. But never forget, life gives you what you bargain for. Not a penny more :) that’s from “As a Man Thinketh” by James Allen.

[@skuffle5309]

"See you that there!" hahaha Reminds me of when I used to work in tech support. I used to say "You're welcome" and "No problem" so much that I ended up mixing them up and saying "Your problem" and "No welcome" all the time LOL

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

hahaha that's awesome!! Even better because I used to work in tech support in college and I would have loved to say "Your problem" and "No welcome" lol

[@DNHandcrafted]

Awesome video (of course!) and it was fun to learn more about your process. I like the idea of the robots paying for themselves and having products in mind before purchasing one. Thanks again!!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Gotta make those robots earn their keep! Thank you!

[@sequillawilliams8809]

I have re-watched several portions of this video several times not because I am having problems understanding and following what you're saying but because I love the way you to interact with each other it seemed so genuine and I just love you 2

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Brownstone31]

Great job. The little rainbow time stamp was a nice idea. Have you guys found any resistance from customers when you scale up your production? Especially when you bring in outside sources? People really like the one off hand made products, but that isn’t always practical. Curious where the line is between handmade and Walmart.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks so much!! We haven't found much yet, and we've seen other people bring in outside help really well. I think communication and setting expectations are VERY important when you do that both with your supplier and your customers. I think the main line between handmade and cheap mass produced products is pride/quality in your work and the connection with your customers. I think if you can keep that up, you'll be good.

[@Brownstone31]

EvanAndKatelyn Great answer. Sounds like you may have thought about this once or twice. lol

[@dalejacaway4881]

Just because there are companies out there that manufacturer designs that you send them. Doesn't mean you should strive to be large enough to own that large equipment to do it yourself. We build custom metal handrails. and we got to a point where we either have to start turning away jobs Outsource are work or grow big. 15 years later where in a massive shop with well over a million dollars in equipment and we still have way more work than we can handle

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Lots of different ways to go about it! I guess our point is when you're starting out, it helps to design your products in a way that they can be manufactured on a bigger scale if the opportunity presents itself, whether it's via outsourcing or in your own shop

[@HebrewsChapter11]

Oh my gosh! I love this! So glad I found your channel. Thank you, you two are informative and fun:)

[@bigbearcanada1]

Great solid logical advice. I have been in the apparel business for 25 years and the same principles apply. We design, develop and begin printing & embroidery in house and sell from our store... then we outsource the good ideas and wholesale to other customers. That is the entire goal during the design process. I am looking for other ideas and landed on your video by you tubing "garage business ideas"

This is the first video of yours that I have stumbled upon in my search for how to manufacture a new product. First of all, you two are absolutely adorable. How lucky you are to have each other? My ex-husband didn't have a creative bone in his body and didn't respect any of my ideas. Secondly, I want to thank you for the information. I subscribed to your channel and plan on spending the rest of the afternoon watching your videos and learning.
