From A Hobby To Manufacturing In 1 Year in Alaska

Video Description

The journey of going from a woodworking cutting board hobby, to business, to building a manufacturing type wood shop in 1 year here in Alaska. This is more than a shop tour, this is the building of a shop and a business from day 1. A documentary of sorts. Production of this shop consists of cutting boards, butcher blocks, tables, countertops and more. Dec 27 2020- The video that set things in motion to go from a once a year hobby batch of boards in my tiny shop. https://youtu.be/juShN4NO8QE We started producing product in the new shop early Dec 2021 The two videos that solidified going from a hobby to business to now having the facility and customer base that we have now.
