#489 - The 6 BIGGEST MISTAKES Woodworking Beginners Make
About this episode
Most beginner woodworkers aren't broke because they lack talent — they're broke because of a handful of mistakes nobody warns them about. Underpricing, chasing the wrong customers, buying tools they don't need, taking on projects that eat 40 hours for $200 profit… I've watched hundreds of guys make these exact same 6 mistakes, and every one of them is fixable. In this video I'm breaking down all 6, why they keep you stuck in the garage, and exactly what to do instead so your woodworking actually starts paying you like a business.
