Dude, love the content. The problem is that videos titled like yours are super misleading. If I didn’t know any better, I’d lump them into the category with “amazing technology “ videos where a plow being dragged through a field by a mule is the “technology”. I’d suggest being a lot more specific, and it would help clearly setup the viewer’s content expectations.

Agreed. I love your content, but the titles are usually irritating ("I don't know why people do this") and do not indicate what I'm tapping in to. I generally watch yours because I know I enjoy the content from an accidental viewing of one your videos a few months ago (when I subscribed) but I usually avoid similarly titled content like the plague, and I suspect you're missing out on some woodworkers who are avoiding checking you out for the same reason. Just my two cents, consider or disregard as you please.

Michigan: Your comment about cutting customers loose who don't want to pay is so spot on. My experience is that your first couple of potential clients are often the worst. Eventually, you find clients that want to pay the right price, so don't let the first couple of cheapskates sour you on your plan.

When my family was in the retail apparel business we determined there were really three different types of customers. Beginning of the season shoppers who wanted the latest styles and bought at retail. Then we had the customer that bought clothes as a necessity and wanted a sale but would buy at regular price. Then we had the customer who only shopped on sale. We determined that we needed all three types of customers even the sale only customers because we needed them to help us clear out our buying mistakes. ( They bought the ugly stuff). It essentially works that way in any business. Sell the ugly stuff to a salvage store, sell the unfinished stuff to an unpainted furniture store, sell the best stuff to the retail or high end customer at regular price. It is a dance. Also finding niche markets that no one has discovered is also a good idea. Finding markets that sell most of the year is good for cash flow. Putting them altogether is a profitable business. We were a one store apparel store. In 1986 about two years after the IBM PC came on the market for $5000 I talked my family into getting a pc and a printer. I input customer data into a database. We created labels and I went to a printer and had them make up postcards. We mailed them out to our customers for our sales twice a year. It was a big boon to our business. These are all the things you need to think about to increase sales. Good luck.

I remember way back in the day when I first started out my wife used to do my billing. She always got aggravated when paying the bill for hardware at the end of the month. So she had me put a white board on the trailer door so every time one of the guys would grab hardware, screws or anything on it. That way I could keep track of what was going out the door. I would buy hardware in bulk and charge retail plus a handling charge. It added up fast and the customer could see where the money went. If they ever had a problem with the charge I would educate them as to how they were saving money because if I had to send someone to the store to pick up the supplies the labor would cost more than the supplies. Have a good day. Every job and customer is different. Time will teach you how to deal with them.

For the folks out there starting up, if you want to get serious about woodworking you need to be charging a day rate. Don't sell yourself short and be an hourly laborer, you're trying to work for yourself. If you're tempted to lower your prices because people often say they cannot afford it, those aren't your customers. Know your craftsmanship and quality of woodwork coupled with the years of experience. If you find you can't sell ANYTHING, broaden your inventory and make small, medium and large-dollar items. let tons of your small and medium-dollar items fuel your larger projects and get you in front of clients that WILL pay the high prices. But no matter how tempted you are to lower your prices on your furniture, don't. Unless you're charging ADAC (Atlanta Decorative Arts Center) vendor prices for poorly made items. There's so much room for learning and I wish I'd had a mentor and I am glad to see Eric helping fellow woodworkers in this regard. When we realize we are not each other's direct competition and help others succeed we all win.

Great line! Sounds like not enough money though. Every time you use a tool you are using it up, yah. A big glue- up uses a visible, even measurable amount of glue; what about saw blades and chisels? Solvent for the pine tar. Pay the sharpening man. Buy a new stone. Spend time sharpening and maintaining your tools. Billing ten bucks seems cheap.

When I was a very small plumbing contractor my biggest problem was competitors wanting my contractors by under pricing me. Usually this did not work as the next bid, raising their prices back where they should be, failed. Another problem was "guess bidding". When I neared the end as a sub contractor and when I could no longer strap on a tool belt I lost my very best contractor who was quoted as saying "if Eric isn't on the job then there is no reason not to take a cheaper bidder.

Michigan. Like Gosforth Handiman in UK, you come from a pricing day job background. So many folk go into business with their hobby. They are not taking a business approach. I've seen many perfectionist hobbyists confused at how they are losing money because the world doesn't love and value their product as much as they do. Eventually they raise prices... and get undercut by the next naive hobbyist turned professional who, in turn... Very important to start with a proper pricing model and refuse jobs that won't pay properly

Im a finish carpenter by trade, been at it for 25+ years and when it comes to regular day to day work building decks, installing windows doors and trim pricing has never really been an issue. Where I do have an issue is doing more custom and artistic work, like miniature doll furniture, hand carved and wood burned signs and home accessories and decor. While smaller the work is still time consuming and hard to price. For example I made a 5 ft tall 1"x12" sign with a hand carved Gaelic phrase on it, wood burned designs, then I painted sanded and weathered it...All in all 20 hours work. I charged $35/hour and had issues with the buyer who didn't want to spend $600 on the sign. I ended up settling for $400.

Good video - so many people lose money and don't realize why. DO NOT CHARGE FOR YOUR LEARNING! If you are a novice, and by necessity slow because of your inexperience, you can't expect to get $50 an hour. Until your speed gets up to average, you will lose money. You need to track the time it takes you - actually write it down - until you have made enough of an item to know how long. And keep track of all the shop supplies you buy, even if you only toss the receipts in a box and add them up once a month.

Great insight on pricing! I used to make signs for businesses. I hand painted the lettering and gilded with 24k gold a lot of times in reverse on the backside of glass. When I first got started I didn’t properly value my time and just wanted to stack jobs. Once I started pricing my work correctly I pretty much stoped getting any work. It’s a thin line to try to balance on doing one off custom projects. Everyone wants custom but the price just normally doesn’t fit their budget. I’m guessing it’s the same with 1500$ coffee tables.

Me: The wood alone for that size table will be around $1100. "Yeah, but don't you have it already? So it's already paid for?. Me: Oh, you're right. I got that wood for free in a box of Wheaties a couple of years ago. And so it goes. The people that put the most pressure on you are usually the wealthiest. Lake Michigan supplies some of Chicago's water. Chicago trivia.

Problem here is that if you are going by "firm" pricing you are giving up the opportunity to negotiate. So you conclude that $1,550 is your ideal price but that really ought to be the minimum you accept. Round that up to $2,000 and then you have a $450 buffer to offer discounts. People who have been doing contract work know there's always a baked in 20% buffer for discounts, meaning that whatever price is initially quoted can be reduced by at least 20% and still be profitable for the contractor while being a better deal for the buyer. The other consideration that you may want to factor in is limiting the degree to which you will customize work. You can design some "base parts" and then offer customizable options for that base part. This lets you control the time it takes to produce the final product while allowing for people to get the results they want. Doing one-offs is really not a sustainable business model for long term unless you are demanding 50% profit margins or better. You also have to consider that one-offs are not necessarily going to translate into repeat business for multiple reasons.

That's a nice workaround to get a bit more money, but it's called exclusionary percentage if i recall correctly (might be wrong). 1163 x0.25 and you get your profit, which should be 290. In the end that adds up to 1453.75. I know taxes in the US are a bit dodgy, and it requires you to percetange tax your entire income instead of actually add the percentage on top or something like that.

In the UNITED STATES you can simply demand lawful money per 12 USC 411 for all money or its equivalent that you receive, and then such money or its equivalent is not subject to any reporting requirements and is not taxable. This is because the UNITED STATES entered into bankruptcy in 1933, and in 1934 suspended lawful tender (gold and silver coin) replacing it with the FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE. For a time, you could receive either FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES or US TREASURY NOTES but in more recent times these two were merged together into one paper bearing two distinct seals. Everyone is presumed to be using FRNs unless they make a demand for lawful money known.

It all makes sense, but it always blows my mind how much custom woodworking projects costs. Luckily I just build stuff for myself/family and don't keep track of costs

Michigan is weird. Everyone there thinks they live in a mitten. Woodworkers in Michigan probably price their projects wrong too. 😂 I kinda like Grand Rapids though if I’m being honest. Anyway, brilliant video. I’ve been in sales and had to estimate pricing for years and this is solid advice throughout.
why hasnt every woodworker learned this?
