We need to bring back the encouragement and dignity of trade work. It is incredibly important and in demand work that you can make a good living at and a great option for many young people.

I graduated in 2006, I remember also a push about how you "need to go to college" I never did, I've been a machinist for 15 years and started woodworking on the side a few years ago and it grows every year

I adore your channel!! Thank you x1,000,000,000 for your content I’d love to hear about the “alternate living” My question for you: would you do it again? I love the idea of becoming you one day, but that’s a looooot of overhead. So would you do it all again , or would you do something different?

Just found your channel and love your view as a real cabinet maker and not a "quick and easy base cabinet" one off youtuber. This video was great and two moments speak volumes. The subtle sub second flash of your SL 550 outside says you're not just "getting by" without talking numbers, and then some days you spend 15 hours at a time in the shop, tells me you're a hard/dedicated worker. Great content!! I am binge watching your videos now.

Brilliant work. Bouncing from one job to the next. Love what you do in your shop. My shop is exactly like yours. We love what we do and we make. Just need to get it out the door. We are makers. Live the dream. Keep up the outstanding projects. Need to get Mulder on the tools.

Thank you sooo much for sharing the raw and real.. I’m tired of seeing the content creators with their fancy and super clean shops..

Thank You for the video. I do remodeling and most of my work is refinishing existing builder grade cabinets. I usually will add trim or build new doors for a refreshed look. id love to learn more about building actual cabinets. I'm very interested in also your process on making doors.

I love the videos man. You are a true master cabinet maker.

Great video. Great work. Keep it up!

You should do a video about the different machines you use and what each of them does

Richard and Mulder, more vids!

We need some more content true gold

Richard, awesome stuff!! What advice would you give someone that was interested in starting a cabinet shop?

I like your workflow process. Do you outsource the finishing process? Currently I do the finishing myself. It takes time and space so I've been trying to find a good local finishing company.

Great video. Do you quote your jobs by the job or by the foot? Do you use Excel to build a materials list per foot?

Any book recommendations that have guided you along the way?

How long does it take on avg to build a kitchen with 11face framed cabinets , painted, 8 drawers, 3 pull outs, ?

Do you do your own installs? or leave it to someone else?

What I tell people, Is what I was told when I was in college by one of my professors, he said that if you think you're going to get rich being a woodworker you should change majors. I am trained to do furniture, but people won't pay what its worth to do custom furniture. I have been doing mostly cabinets, for the last 20 years. I have a lot bigger investment in machinery than you do, which allows to me work on my own faster. I see a lot of people telling others that they can make money doing woodworking, and I would have to say that it's not true, it takes years to develop the skills to get to a point where you can do quality work and do it efficient enough to make a living.

👍👏👏👏💪🙏✋🇰🇿

It’s a mess also having rails exposed like that get dirty damaged cabinets etc not good

I'm going to have to make a living at it because I'm going to get fired watch your videos at work..🤣
