Here's why I'm moving...

[@baconstruction3344]

Good call on moving and building your own shop. Nice work on the doors and drawer fronts. It is time consuming but rewarding to make your own. I use the same jig for boring hinges. One modification I made to mine was drill a hole in the front of it to accept a shop vac hose. Cuts down on cleanup and eliminates the thing getting plugged up with shavings. Keep up the great work!

[@keving5452]

When you moved last time, I was wondering why you were not buying a place that had room for a big Shop. Love your content.

[@AW-yv9sq]

@@keving5452 probably kids family budget. His business took a turn as he was not doing big jobs to focus on KZbin. Looks like it has changed the jobs part. All just a guess. Looking forward to a full shop buildout

[@tscoffey1]

I can’t believe you’re moving, after all that white oak and that custom fireplace.

[@stevenfoust3782]

You and your guys are true craftsmen. I’ve seen your videos from your beginning days and you obviously took in every lesson along the way. Having great tools makes the work so much more enjoyable, productive, and high quality. Also, your videos really show how much man hours/ effort goes into a project to get it done quickly and efficiently.

[@TheRange7]

Buy a property in an unincorporated area. Build your dream house and your dream shop. That's what most of the independent sub contractors around here do. Some of their spreads are absolutely amazing. The best part though, there are no HOA restrictions or neighbors complaining. Good luck

[@AW-yv9sq]

You are luck to live in an area with land available. I’m on the coast and there is nothing like that without an insane price tag

[@MexAnarcho]

Agreed, the area I live in is unincorporated and you can pretty much build what you want and there’s plenty of land up for grabs. Plus my state relaxed laws on ADU’s so if you buy a good plot you can rent a unit for additional income.

If you’re going to be getting into cabinetmaking you should invest in 2 shapers and 2 power feeds . Using routers for cope and stick doors are kinda brutal

The comment at the plywood store ‘we can’t cut in here’! How the fk does anything get done in that country? Scared to death of everything.

[@GroundedFlyboy737]

Congrats!!! Obviously, the YT experience has been very kind to you. Well deserved!

[@joseph7105]

Interesting move... I used to do custom cabinetry and THEN moved on to trimming new homes. I had to learn a ton new skills, buy more tools, and made more money. Never heard of somebody going from trim to cabinets. At least in my area that would be a massive downgrade. Like going from painting cars to cleaning them.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Ooooooh Yeah!!! A new shop & new home projects!!! Blessings Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@garyK.45ACP]

You need a property with a house and either an existing metal shop building, or space to build one. Build it 2x bigger than you think it needs to be. 😜 Best of luck to you and your family. Someone is going to get a really amazing home when they buy yours!

[@Rocksolidhandyman]

I did the same thing! There’s no way I was paying $3000 a month for a small shop! I used that money to buy a house and I turned the garage into my workshop. Everything is on wheels. I can bring it out in the driveway. I can build anything in there from wood to metal, it doesn’t matter, but what does matter is that money is going into real estate which is going to appreciate and make me more money in the future. Good job for doing what you did. People need to make their money work for them not the other way around! Although zoning laws can restrict the kind of work you can do in your residential property so you do have to be careful because maybe a neighbor doesn’t want to hear Saw’s buzzing all day or thickness planer’s running 24 seven for sure so it does depend on what Business you are running.

[@mattkornely2245]

I go to the same plywood company in Ft. Worth. I load my jeep up, go to the parking lot next door, and make my cuts there in their parking lot.

[@Miter5TrimCarpentry]

Hey Richard, we have the same issue, scaling our Trim Carpentry to bigger projects like custom cabinetry, we invested in a 4’ by 4’ CNC. Have you ever considered a CNC to mill cabinet parts?

[@Mike-dy8bq]

Hey Richard. You might want to look into a backcutter bit for the door and drawer panels. That way you can use 3/8" material vs 1/4" for the panels and the backcutter will give you a flush backside without all of the extra labor making strips for each. The 3/8" material will give you a more solid product too.

[@flamabl1]

Good stuff as always. Stay safe stay productive!

[@rjsenn4142]

Love that hinge jig. It’s been a life saver in my cabinet projects. And quite a bit cheaper than the Blum.

Great work, Richard. I'm surprised you're planning to move again too.

[@kevinlucas8437]

Moving 😮 excited for your new adventure !!!!

[@clovisprojectdiy]

It's all prospective based off money you've made... building out table 1 in shop 1 right now. Half residential finish carpentry, half custom toolbelts. About the size of a 3 car garage(just a bit bigger), and I'm to the moon excited. I'm sure you were when you were setting up your current setup. Really looking forward to seeing what you wind up with this go around. Ps- sorry I don't comment much

[@dennisholton9640]

I think having a separate shop is better than another home😊

[@robwalker8530]

I agree. Even better for tax purposes.

[@rgsaul3]

if the economy slumps its easier to maintain a shop at home than a separate shop. Lots of guys had a separate shop in 07, then worked out of the house in 08

[@davidparker2130]

Using 3/4” styles and rails you could use 1/2” panel and route the edges so that you don’t have to add another 1/4” filler to make up the gap between the drawer and the cabinet face.

[@JeremySchiefer]

Have you considered MDF for the doors instead of plywood? For the smaller drawer fronts you can rabbet 1/2" so its flush. Then you don't have to make the extra 1/4" piece

[@cata687]

Can't wait to see the new home.

Oh no! All that beautiful, and hard, work you put into your home renovations you're going to leave behind for someone else to enjoy? They will sure get a lot of quality workmanship! Hopefully you find a great place that will allow you to create the perfect workspace, since you are a true craftsman and I know it will allow you to do even greater things. Best wishes!

[@gm12338]

Having a separate insulated (somewhat sound proofed) building on the same property further away from your main house is a always best, but it's understandable that you coudnt do that and take care of your family too, without building up your business first and saving up some money. Hope you have found the home and property to meet your growth needs.

[@darrenlesueur4785]

When your looking for a house/ shop make sure the house has at least a 400 Amp panel . You will want alot of power. Especially if you going to run a phase converter. I used to build my own doors and I have the correct equipment, shapers time saver. Door clamp. The best thing I ever did was start ordering them from a company that takes 2 weeks . They have expensive equipment that you can't compete with the quality. Just have the tooling to match their doors you buy in case you have to make a door In a pinch . It Makes thing much easier.

[@bobmartin6055]

Looks great!

[@diego107211]

Hey Richard hope all is well. I’d like to suggest to you the option of building a steel frame shop in the current or new home you will be buying. If you have a property with a big enough backyard we can have it done for you of course as long as the city or precinct allows the permitting for the project. Send me a message or reply if this would be something you might be interested in. Kind regards, -Diego

Unless you have a handful of employees knocking out work all day requiring a rented shop..... yeah your better off with a home that has a larger garage or even better, a detached and large shop. If business slows down even for a couple of months, having to pay rent on a shop can hit hard.

[@carld9117]

buy a commercial building then rent it back to your business. can't explain exactly how it works but it's about taxes. Eventually you own the building and can sell it or lease and have a revenue stream in your retirement. Seems like it would hard to get your money back on a shop built own your own property, they seem expensive to build.

I am going to add another building, possibly about 1200 sq ft. Mainly for storage. If you do buy acreage, you'll probably need a tractor. Which comes in really handy. I guess no matter how much space you have, you'll fill it up eventually. LOL Not sure how old you are, but time to start thinking about when you retire. You going to need space. I don't see you just laying around when you retire. My shop has tons of tools and I am not done buying. Retired and loving it.
