Today's video has LOTS of fun info! Come check out my workshop AND learn how I built a successful custom furniture business! I'll share all of my tips! Which one was helpful to you??

Thanks Lemon Lady Flipper. You are never stingy with your "secrets" and that is so generous.

Im so brand new. Ive sold 3 pieces so far (I''m sure I undercharged...but just selling them gave me the confidence to know I can do this). Thanks for all the tips. Love your work AND that it's a family affair!

So generous of you to share your hard earned wealth of knowledge.

I am so happy to have found your channel. So much great info and your work is beautiful!

The furniture stamp! So cool!

I love that you turned this side hustle into a business - that’s something I really dream about - very informative video thank you

Great video Kara and thank you for all that helpful info. Loved seeing your space and how you run your business 🥰

Great video Kara! I love the way you handle custom orders. It was very helpful thank you 😊

Thanks

Hi. You are a great teacher! Lots of great tips. I like how you found a brand/product that works consistently for you. I plan to implement your sandpaper organization system. I have mine in a dollar tree basket in grit order....I like the pegboard idea a bit better😊

Kara this was an excellent video so informative! I’ve never done custom work and honestly have no idea how to price, contract and so forth I learned so much. KZfaq needed a video like this great job!!

Thank you for all the wonderful tips and advice 👍👍

I've been binge watching your channel. Your work is fantastic.

So organized, love the branding iron and the apothecary cabinet! I need the Surf Prep so bad!

Congratulations on your educational video. Please continue to educate us all. Best to you.

Great tips! Thanks for sharing ❣️

Wonderful info Kara. You just show what hard work combined with awesome business savvy can do.

Ah! What great space you have! And so tidy!

We do dave ramsey too. we've paid off over 700k in debt so far ( 2 of that debt were homes. ) still have a little way to go but so thankful we found Dave a few years ago currently I'm an FPU class now. 2 classes left

I really enjoyed these tips. Thanks so much.

Thank you. 👍🏼

So glad you did the Collab! So much good info I will revisit 😘

I always enjoy your videos and information.

Great business advise. I really like the idea of $$ deposit. Love your work!

This video is super informative and I thank you so much...you're very organized ...I Respect that as I'm not so organized,😅😂🥰👍

Thank you so much for sharing this information.

Hi Kara. Great info and space - thank you! I did the same and saved from sales and bought a Surfprep. It’s a game changer! Definitely going to start invoicing. Great idea.

That was a huge lump of beneficial information. Thank you so much!

Great space and tips!! Thank you so much for sharing!

Very helpful video! Love all the videos you have put out. Blessings from Oregon.

Awesome info here, Kara! Thanks for sharing so much of your process (and your workshop!) I love the idea of an initial deposit to get on the calendar. charge 50% at time of signing the contract but that's usually day 1/drop off. An initial deposit would mean less down time to getting started. Thanks!

Very informative.

Great informative video!!

Thank you for his informative video, very helpful.

This was amazing and sooooo helpful. Thanks for this vid! (I am soooooo a beginner)

Thank you for the insight. I’m new to flipping furniture. Usually my family gobbles it up. I have a room full of completed projects but to sell around here, well, everyone wants it for free. I used to have my garage as my work room but after my car was stolen - twice - I have to lock it up. Sounds like the bad part of town but actually live on a golf course in the best part of town. So your information was very helpful. I was thinking of opening an Etsy store as well. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you

Just came across your channel a few days ago. You’re very talented. I can tell you love the work you do. It definitely shows up in the pieces you’ve done. I was wondering how you clean your sprayers so the colours don’t bleed through on your next piece.

Wow. You certainly gave a lot of info in this video. I personally loved it. I’ve been binge watching you for awhile now and I’m so impressed with what you do. You take pieces that look horrible and make them into pieces that anyone would proud to own. I am getting ready to paint my bedroom furniture and I’m particularly interested in your spray guns. They would cut down on the time I’d have to spend on my pieces. I saw those guns at our harbor freight store for 16.99, are those the guns you use? Thank you for your generosity in explaining very well how you run your business. Good job on getting out of debt.

I am surprised at how organized your shop is. I think I have some cleaning and decluttering to do, 😂 Thanks for taking the time to video and upload all your advice. It certainly helps.

Where do you find wall liners like the one on the bar?? Absolutely beautiful!!

Good info. Thanks for telling where you bought your products. I love harbor freight. What editing program do you use for your utube videos?

I really enjoy your channel! I’m a Texas boy - ain’t Texas great?!

Thanks for such an informative video! What’s the timeframe you give to customers on when a piece is finished/ready for pick-up? Do you build in cure time or you let them know it needs x amount of days to fully cure?

It’s Harbor Freight

Hello and good afternoon from Universal City, TX. I want you to know that I have been binge watcher your videos and like all the flips you and your husband have done. But I do have a question for you. What brand/gauge HVLP Spray gun do you use? Keep up the good work, keep on making videos, and I hope yall reach your 401K goal soon. Thanks

Kara, I cannot believe I found your video it is so informative on how to actually operate a furniture flipping business. I have wanted to start a business for a while but did not know where to start. I have painted many pieces of furniture in mine and my daughter's home.(twice over) so I have experience painting, staining, and top coating. You are a very sweet, down to earth and generous person. I think it is great for you to share with viewers on how to make money especially in this high inflation economy. Thanks for your great advice! Could you please share how to use an orbital sander or scuff sander? I have only sanded by hand and I am afraid to use an electric one and ruin the piece of furniture.

Would love to know where to purchase a branding iron. Very cool!

Can you send the link of your respiratory please You do amazing work. Thank you for sharing

Thanks for all the great info! So helpful! I have one question regarding new hardware. How do you factor in the cost of the new hardware at the clients request. Cost can range so much.

How do you have a spray shelter or do anything specific to help with overspray and keeping pieces clean during spraying? Great video thanks!!🙂

Wanted to see where I could get a template for a contract for custom pieces?

You talked about pricing for your area, how did you determine what that was when you started out?

Hello Kara. I love your vids..I have been making Resin River tables for a few years but the cost for clients is pretty high and I have to charge a pretty high fee to make any money; so I was looking into reworking some furniture. My question is that I bought one of the paint guns like yours at HF. The instructions say you can't use latex paint? Is that true..? Apologize if you have already been asked about this 50 times already...thanks Joseph Resin River Artworks

Very Informative Video thank you! I wanted to offer delivery included in my advertisement for flipping furniture. Should I get a small deposit down and ask the buyer to see the item first. I don't want to get scammed?

How do you like the Emerald paint verses the chalk paint? Why one over the other or is it dependent on what your doing?

Great info in this video! I'm wondering about the compressor. Does it not over heat being fully enclosed? Or does it not turn on that often because of the size?

Oh also! Do you sell online and ship or do you only sell in your area? (or even selling online, but having people come picking it up at your house instead of shipping it) If you ship it, how do you handle that process? (prices, insurance, wrapping/protection against damage during the shipping process...etc.) Thank you, once again, for this video =)

How much do you think is a reasonable goal for 2 people to earn per month flipping furniture if they work full time at it? Is it reasonable to think they could make $5,000 a month? $7,000? in a middle class area? I know this will vary but just asking for a ballpark.

We’re did you get your branding iron from?

How do you get and keep your garage temperatures to where you are comfortable in TX heat? I can't stand the heat in mine to even make a work space.. I'm in Austin

I live in Canada, so it may be different here. I noticed on your mock up invoice you didn't charge any tax. Do you not charge tax?

Is there a reason you don’t pronounce the H in Harbor Freight? Is it a copyright thing? So weird!

❤❤❤love your work

Why do you always look off the the side instead of at the camera?
