Anyone who has used an old crappy, rusty hand saw knows how frustrating it can be. The saw binds and gets stuck in the wood, probably because the saw has lost all the set in the teeth.

Anyone who has used an old crappy, rusty hand saw knows how frustrating it can be. The saw binds and gets stuck in the wood, probably because the saw has lost all the set in the teeth. But ancient saws, Roman, Greek even Egyptian saws apparently had no set at all. Is it possible Christmas changed that?

Anyone who has used an old crappy, rusty hand saw knows how frustrating it can be. The saw binds and gets stuck in the wood, probably because the saw has lost all the set in the teeth. But ancient saws, Roman, Greek even Egyptian saws apparently had no set at all. Is it possible Christmas changed that?

Setting up your shop office and managing all the unforeseen paperwork and ‘stuff’ that is involved in operating a small business can be daunting, but if you are well organized and dedicated to the small details you will do better woodworking and be more successful. You will need bookkeeping software, a word document, and maybe a spreadsheet program. You can ‘rent’ these by the month or get a FREE version to download on your computer. Using design software may be your style and there are FREE versions of that as well. We talk about FREE software for laying out parts on sheet goods and lumber to minimize waste. We even talk about FREE operating systems to replace Windows or MAC that can run on new or pretty old computers.

Have you ever thought about trying to make money with your woodworking hobby? Maybe even quitting your full-time job and making a living building furniture? Maybe you are making stuff, selling some stuff, but you want to make it more formal….make it a Real Business!
But how…. My name is Roger Kugler and I've been a woodworker for over 50 years. For the past 20 years, I've operated a one-man shop servicing the local community.
My goal is to encourage you to consider woodworking as a profession, either full-time or part-time. There is a real need for custom furniture and cabinet makers right now. Many craftsmen are aging out of the trades leaving a void that needs to be filled.
Who is this podcast geared towards? Everyone! Retired folks, out-of-work, stay at home parent, college graduate, HS graduate, yers, car mechanics, accountants, office workers, even famous actors or politicians
I’ll try to answer all your questions about operating a solo enterprise and give you solid information about the pros….and cons…. of working as a professional woodworker.
