CNC Side Hustle Stories: Bees Boards From No Experience To Thousands Per Weekend (Interview)

[@RobertSutton1]

Absolutely love the knowledge being shared here, and I appreciate how not only can Andy be a total champ in the CNC world but how he is able to reach other people and have a lasting impact in their lives. Great sharing from Bee's boards giving insight into how they got started, what worked for them, and how they found their passion and made their mark in a world run by commercial companies. The essence of small business at its best!

Couldn’t have done this without his advice!

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Couldn't agree more!

[@aboutthetheory]

Thanks, I agree, sifting through the noise to find the right informtion can be tedious. Thank you for sharing this.

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Agreed! Hope you enjoyed the video

[@peeceejay]

We watched so much KZbin while learning the ropes 😂

[@rickrose9307]

Great conversation, the passion to learn and not being afraid to try something new was something we can all learn from. Thank you for another great video

[@peeceejay]

We’re often afraid, we just don’t let it stop us! What could possibly go wrong 😂

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Whats the worse that can happen?😂

[@pfunk34]

Having worked in start-ups and in my own career, i have found that often times a niche finds you... it is not necessarily what you are passionate about. Great video! I like hearing the different types of journey's from those you interview.

[@peeceejay]

This was absolutely a case of it finding us!

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kevinrich4637]

Great ‘chat’ lots of insights. Thank you both.

[@peeceejay]

Very welcome!

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

You bet!

[@beejones9239]

“How hard can it be?” has been our motto from the beginning. How hard can it be to fix this cutting board? How hard can it be to make one? We’re always curious and willing to try, because… how hard can it be?

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

What could go wrong? What could go right? You never know unless you try!

[@peeceejay]

Thanks for sharing our story! Can’t wait for part 2 :)

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Me either!

[@scottshawwoodworking1752]

Great interview! Paul good luck and would love to hear how a follow up. Thanks Andy, Paul and of course Bee

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Coming soon!

[@peeceejay]

Thanks!

[@michaelcretaro9914]

As always great content. Paul is as inspirational as you are Andy. Paul & Bees story gives me hope that I can someday be in a similar position as they are. Oh yeah to eat a Cream Puff and the Big E!

[@peeceejay]

I’ll buy you your first cream puff at The Big E! Come on out!

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

You can do it!

[@MSManuel-61]

Great interview! Paul and Bee have been helpful with suggestions for me in the inner circle group. I liked Paul's insight on the craft fairs. A lot of good suggestions, especially the one about following a specific event coordinator who runs fairs that fit your niche.

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Glad it was helpful!

[@peeceejay]

We try and be helpful! We’ve learned so much from the community it’s nice to give something back!

[@KnotboredWoodworking]

Birds and Bees video😂

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

That's good! 😂

[@JSGenesisDesigns]

[@tpruett81]

Very inspirational. Great way to get motivated for some Sunday CNCing.

[@peeceejay]

Absolutely terrible. Wish I’d thought of it 😂

[@Moelygaer1]

Loads of great information and tips, thanks

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

So glad to hear you enjoyed it and found it helpful! Thanks for watching

[@thorjohnson5237]

These shows... do you sell stock, or do you sell "will be shipped to you next Tuesday?"

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

They sell stock and take custom orders

[@peeceejay]

Stock! Takes several weeks / months to build up, and a massive event like this was about 250 to 300 items sold
