    About 10 years ago I made nearly $50,000 with my homemade CNC making a jewelry makers kit that I invented, I also got my 15 minutes of fame when I made a few things for the Martha Stewart Living magazine that was featured in their magazine. So I know from experience that it can be done.

    I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle youtube.com/post/UgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0J… is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

    when ppl see this. theyll be like "500k in 2years?wow. thats easy!"... but they dont see the effort put down to get there... burnt down. stress. tired. alone. everything. thank you for not leaving that part out of the video.❤
  • My story is practically indential - but I started out by personalised engraving right from the get-go, Around 8 years ago, I determined that a single order for £10,000 is a lot better than 1000 orders for £10, so I moved in to engraving items for industrial customers. Today, my company has over 2000 corporate customers in 22 countries around the world - including many of the world's best-known companies. From starting on my kitchen table 12 years ago with a tiny Roland engraving machine doing 10 pet tags a day, to producing over 100,000 engraved industrial items annually - the secret is not about "how to engrave"... Regardless of what you do, operating and thinking in a business-like manner is what counts. You did this, and that's why you've succeeded.

    Wow, man, this is truly motivating! You did a great job and thank you for sharing this!

    Thank you man! You are truly an inspiration to me. I have just started my CNC furniture company last year here in Amsterdam and it is sometimes hard to find people with the same enthusiasm for woodwork. Grateful that there are people like you on the internet sharing so much on how they started their business. Cheers

    This video got me into CNC. Can't wait to see where it goes!
  • @ksucat90
    Thank you for the great walkthrough of your thought process.
  • @jburdine
    Just found a CNC machine tonight and used Google to find this video. All I can say is WOW! Because my mind had just started reverse engineering the very same info you are sharing. I am motivated even more now! Thanks Bro!!
  • Brilliant stuff, well done and great to hear about your journey and success. Not many people would share their money making processes with people either so it is refreshing to hear you explain this to everyone. Like many business owners you seem to have gone through the long hours and difficult times to come out the other end, well done.
  • @pjh432
    What a great video, mindset and approach is everything I sure appreciate your willingness to share
  • @user-vu9wx3vf2n
    Fantastic, am working in a company that make furniture and am operating a CNC router, sometimes I just ask my self questions like where can I get money to purchase a small CNC router to do my projects and eventually earn extra income, and how can I start so that I end up quitting my job and focusing on my business, so you inspired me a lot.
