I've always been a lover of quality wood products, they have an innate warmth that very few other products have. I tip my hat to you for sharing tips & ideas to others & hope that many of them get some inspiration to create. From a business perspective the best thing you talk about in this video is that you don't need a top of the line workshop to get started, that you can do it with the basics to get your idea off the ground. That will perhaps be the difference between someone watching who says "I can't do that as I don't have the tools" to a straight up "Hell yeah I'm doing it".

Man I’m proud of your path. Glad to see a good ole boy like yourself making a positive difference for those around you. I’m a new CNC shop here in south MS. I started with the Camaster Stinger 4x4 5hp spindle and a 24w Jtech laser. I’m getting pretty decent with it now and love watching it work. You make great videos and it’s easy to see that you have an awesome work environment for your employees. Your the future of the greatness of what our country is about to be once again. Hopefully here soon more American companies use CNC shops to produce more items here in the states.

[@greytogray6070]

Recently discovered you, Ryan, and I am so inspired by, and happy for your success! Your transparency and willingness to help restores a tiny bit of my faith in humans. Thank you for your videos, and continued great success to you!

[@taylorbynam1929]

I like your videos! Straightforward and to the point! I find it crazy what products take off and what don’t!

[@cutting-it-close]

Thank you!

[@yamahagrand]

Thanks for sharing all that information. I have a small 25x25" Shark HD4 CNC router and make random things to sell from time to time. I never really imagined what it would be like to need to scale up to make thousands of anything. It's nice to see how you went about doing that.

[@cutting-it-close]

Sounds great!

[@lesterandreas9005]

Nice video. Finally got to watch it 11 hours after you posted it. When you went to running multiple “man stands” did you use nesting software or program each one individually ?

[@sirguy6678]

Awesome! Glad it worked out!

[@cutting-it-close]

Thanks again!

[@bgpappy30]

Maple syrup! I absolutely love your work one day I know I will be as big as you are, because I have faith in myself. I am very proud of you for all you have achieved.

[@playamytrumpet]

Well that was crazy, I got hyped up about the giveaway and found out it was on Sunday, today is Tuesday. I still did enjoy the video. Thanks for sharing

[@cutting-it-close]

Next time! We do giveaways on every video, every Sunday! Make sure to enter in Sunday morning :)

[@im44wutsurxuse]

Congrats on your success! I'm sure it's well deserved! First time I've seen any of your videos. I'm trying to get into wood work myself after 40+ years doing other things...anyway, you've earned my subscription! Keep up the good work! 😁👍🏼👍🏼 Maple syrup too, why not

[@cutting-it-close]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@randomusercomment64]

I am inspred by your success and I hope to learn from your example. Thanks for putting this out!

You can do it!

going to do this with my new laser, nice idea

[@CHIPSpeaking]

Heck, I want to get the plans and build some for old pals I worked with as a police officer!

[@ThatGuyWithaLaser]

Good job mate!! You got a subscription from me. I get my cnc on friday and am very excited avout learning g code, it will compliment my workshop and allow me to make so much different things i couldnt before. I have a 10watt diode and love it ❤ Great video mate!!!

[@cutting-it-close]

Awesome, thank you!

Im not one to copy anothers idea to sell but i deff look up to your sucess for ideas and inspiration.

Always good to remember your roots.

I have a Stepcraft M.1000 with ATC 36"x48" but will be in the next few months stepping up to a 4x8 industrial hopefully. Any recommendation for a rigid industrial machine? I was looking into a Stepcraft Q.408 but am open to anything

Maple Syrup Just got a lil used CNC, looking to make a living out of it. Thanks for the inspiration 🙌

[@cutting-it-close]

Good luck!

Great video

[@chaosplan]

So after staining do you finish it with maple syrup or high fructose corn syrup?

[@shawnmann9491]

Coconut oil is cheaper and better for you and the board 👌🏽😎

[@flakk1989]

New subscriber here. Thanks for the inspiration. Great video!!

[@cutting-it-close]

Thank you for watching and subscribing! Is there anything in particular I can make a video about that could help you or peak your interest?

[@flakk1989]

More CNC-related stuff would be great, especially designing. I have a smaller cnc combined with Aspire and a little more motivation wouldn't hurt. I don't sell much at all, it is more of a hobby. Can't wait to see your upcoming stuff!@@cutting-it-close

[@alexreid4131]

This is great Ryan. Love how your business mind works and that you clearly do a lot of research to figure out best practices not just for making your products but now selling the shovels to the workers and creating maximum engagement. Very very smart stuff 👍

[@cutting-it-close]

Thank you Alex, wait until you see what’s next! Currently, I want to help people make projects easier, I have access to wood and can make panels very efficiently so now someone can buy the plans, the wood and the bit and start making projects or making money with minimal machines and effort. I am just doing things I wish I had when I started.

[@alexreid4131]

@@cutting-it-close duuuuuude!!! THAT would change the game if you can pull that off in a way that’s sustainable at scale. I’m not a CNC guy yet (although I have two still boxed up in my woodworking shop) but having a resource like what you’re suggesting would definitely ease my learning curve. Do you have a modular based course simmering in the back of your mind to teach CNC beginners? I’m putting money on it that you do.

[@alexreid4131]

@@cutting-it-close you can tell I’m a big fan so I’m in for all of what you’re suggesting. Great role model for young entrepreneur woodworkers out there rather than 95% of the woodworking “content creators” that are out there. Never sold a product in their lives and it’s obvious!

How did you get so lucky to have ppl willing to be part of the team

[@dian3145]

Did you almost double your subs over the past 3 weeks?? Maybe I am just in a time warp 🤔 Cool to see insight into how your team handled the scaling. I could picture stain slinging around the shop!

[@cutting-it-close]

Progress has actually been slow the past few weeks 😅 Thanks for the support regardless!

[@jarredcleem5028]

Nice Home Depot table. I have several myself.

[@cutting-it-close]

I use them as sit/standing desk in the office for everyone as well!

I’m just finishing up my shop and want to get a CNS, what cnc do you recommend for beginners? Thanks

[@pauldurham2527]

I'm a beginner also and I love my shapeoko 5 pro. They have the best customer service and their programs are really easy to learn and run. Look up carbide create.

nice vid informatic and energetic! (y) can you make a vid howto draw and set it on the wood? greetz from holland

Yes I will, what size CNC do you have?

I love your videos, maple syrup

How do you buy one

no top coat?

Love it dude 1 question can u do a video or do you have a video on it being done without a CNC unless u wanna send me one then a can do it. And dude whats the script with non American viewers for the giveaway 😮😮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

How much does a commercial license cost?

[@3XJ-DreamWoods]

Can I make this without CNC?

[@jmoe6402]

I’m in an opportunity to buy a cnc right now but, I don’t have a space to put it. It’s a really good deal too. 🤔

Go for it!

When you patent your product did you get help from a lawyer or you did it by yourself ?

@@cutting-it-close Nice!

[@sirguy6678]

I agree- it looks like something a kid made in middle school shop class- but facts are facts (numbers) but is it repeatable? Etsy shop has changed in the last 7 years- competition has changed the game-

[@cutting-it-close]

I don’t know if this exact product is repeatable, but there is other products that this can happen to I believe. My hope in this video was to show the small and then the scalable way of how we made this product. I think a lot of times because have shock because they think there is no way I would be able to make that many, not realizing it’s a slow progression to get there it just takes time, determination, and most of all some sales coming in.

[@acerjuglans383]
