Angel City Woodshop has grown to an average revenue of $60,000 a month making custom woodworking projects at their workshop in downtown Los Angeles. We’ll learn how founder Paul Moorhead built such a profitable woodworking business in this episode.

Paul didn’t set out to make furniture. Like many, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. He’d always been drawn to working with his hands, and he soon found a new way to be creative: making furniture. After starting off with woodworking projects for friends and family, he established his shop and hasn’t looked back.
Of course, starting a business is never easy. Paul lived in his wood working studio for two years while he built his business, sometimes working all-nighters and 100-hour weeks to finish projects. We’ll find out how Paul kept himself going through those busy times and how that effort has paid off in the form of revenue growth and success.
Today, Paul has a team of craftsmen in his shop, and they take on projects that don’t just require artistic vision but also engineering, 3D modeling, and other advanced skills. We’ll find out how Paul built and trained his team to ensure consistent quality across his woodworking projects. He’ll also share the systems and tools they use to design and build the unique custom furniture their customers come to them for.

Interesting and in-depth, thank you. I do want to point out one thing though. Paul said he is happy with 15% to 20% profít BUT when you asked him the price of the one piece he said $3,000 ($1,200 in profit). That’s a lot higher than 20% in profit, so if that is a typical markup, he definitely wants more than 20%.

Can you find people making small items like kitchen knives or custom phone cases or something like that in a small workshop, and so on? Also, can you ask them questions like why did they succeed, when others doing the same type of business failed?

As a woodworker with a full shop and profitable business, I would add a couple things. (1) know your numbers! Just like Shark Tank, you have to know your numbers. Time yourself and how long it truly takes to make product A, product B, etc. Time the whole process from selecting/receiving the wood or materials, to the time it takes to package and ship. (2) I like what he says about only making purchases that you need...I would fine tune that to say go cheap at first on things to MAKE the product, go big on advertising/marketing, that will actually get you the sales. There is nothing worse than having $220k of machines and tools and materials, and not enough steady orders to actually pay yourself or the rent.

Retired cabinetmaker here: My shop fed and housed my family and put my kids through school. I spent less than 1% of gross revenue on marketing, in fact for several years before I retired, my advertising costs were zero. Word of mouth, coupled with high quality and good service, is all I ever needed. My advice to someone starting up? Stay small. When hiring, attitude is 90% and experience is 10%, only one can be taught. Always deliver just a little bit more than the customer is expecting. Remember to take time to enjoy the benefits of owning your own business, you'll earn them.

Go for it! Chances are you already have a decent amount of contacts who could potentially be your customer. Take a look into building custom kitchens from start to finish including install if you want. A friend of mine is doing it with tremendous success locally. Kind of a different gig than spectacular custom pieces here but far more profitable, especially if you do the full install

Pursuing your dreams is admirable, but it's crucial to understand what you're getting into. As someone involved in the operations of a small woodworking shop in NYC, I'm amazed at the number of people who start woodworking businesses without considering the profitability challenges. Moreover, since many owners transition from being hobbyists, there is a shortage of skilled workers and workers in general in the industry. For the past three years our business has struggled to find employees who support our growth despite offering in-house training. It seems like we're all competing for a limited talent pool within the area. With intense local competition and imported products, starting a business in this industry can be challenging. Everyone in the custom sector is vying for the same 20% of customers. Additionally, through networking, I've observed that many business owners paint a rosy picture of their business without disclosing the actual financials. So, when people share numbers, I take them with a grain of salt. It would be helpful to know the actual number of woodworking businesses that close each year.

The problem with skilled trade work, is that people wont buy the things we make for the price we value them, they rather buy a cheap alternative that is ready now. I was a leatherworker and woodworker for 15 yrs as side hobby money. The amount of time and money it takes to make a custom work of art is not worth the low amount you earn by doing so. Low volume market can not pay the bills. Increase production, you lose quality. Ect..ect..

I am happy to have stumbled across this video. I’m working a woodworking job as a finisher and am slowly working my way up the artisan carpentry process to handling raw lumber. The skills I am learning are beyond valuable to me, even as a finisher. I started out as a carpenter’s apprentice and went on to sales after college, but that didn’t pay the bills and it was limiting. Thankfully I am back in my passion and making things. Your story is inspiring, and I hope to one day have my own shop! The economy and my limited experience make things difficult at the moment, but I am happy where I’m at and have realistic goals set up for moving forward. Wish me luck in this on going endeavor!

Hi Greg. Paul here. Thanks for the comment. You're absolutely right. I have definitely had some dark, brutal and painful seasons since I started the business. It's definitely a battle to retain the reason of why and how you started. I think that's why so many experts in the field "warn" others to proceed with caution! If you make great money doing something else and love woodworking, maybe just keep it as your hobby. But, if you really know it's what you want to do... go for it. You just have to know it will sometimes be boring, it will be hard, and you have to find your own way of continuing to feel the joy and fulfillment of the craft itself.

maybe its just me but I know many woodworkers and the best advice about being a woodworker comes from the wood whisperer who I highly respect. I find people like blacksail and angel city to be outliers in the biasness. wrymwood is a company that I would say is far more accurate to the average woodworker that doesn't want to make epoxy tables and sell them overpriced. I agree start small and build from them and find what you love to do and do it. I know I don't want to make ton's of river tables even though they make a bunch of money.

I inherited a small wood working business from my father, we work only with a exotic breed of wood, I have a special place for wood craft and want a workshop like this as soon as I feel brave to resign from a respectable job that I do.. The job makes me special, but wood working art satisfies me..

Wishing you success Tobias! How long have you been woodworking?

@@UpFlip I've been getting an education in woodworking for about 3 years now. I've definitely made a lot of progress there, but the business side is often overlooked. Which is why your videos are so informative. Getting some inside knowledge on the know how, in the financial aspects is invaluable, so thank you!!
