I work in a "Mill" technically but we're basically a big wood shop. We do just about anything you could dream up wood wise.
Anyhow, couple pics from the shop. Attached File Attached File |

Build some cabinets for me, and an island, and a staircase, and the rest of my house.
Serious question, what about wood treads for a free floating staircase? Like 2.5” by 11” by 60”. The place I found prices those were going to be higher than I wanted to pay. |

Nice shop OP. Yes if you can dream it I will build it.

Side hustle. I'm hoping I can make it a little more when I retire in a few years. Hit the crafts show circuit, stuff like that.

I wish. As others have said, just a side gig. I have yet to sell anything.

OP, you should watch “The Craftsman” on Magnolia Netwok to see what a real wood shop is supposed to look like.
I’m in amazement that place has not gone up in flames with 2’ of sawdust piled up everywhere. It’s so bad I cannot even see how they navigate through the place to work in some areas. Many years ago my Uncle had a beautiful wood shop and turned out some amazing projects. Cancer took him way too early. |

My Grandfather was a cabinet maker in Houston back in the '50s.
He taught me how to work wood, but also how to "make things". How to start and how to finish a project. He would have had a grand time in the OP's shop, |

People tell me all the time I should sell my wood working stuff. Thing is, I do woodworking as a fun hobby. I've done some commissioned work and made some money at it but then I was making something because I had to, not because I wanted to. There was little joy in the process.
What brings me the most pleasure is to make something beautiful for the joy of making something beautiful. Then one day, I'll give it to somebody which brings me even more joy. In the end, I am doubly blessed. Some people go to church to commune with God and bring some peace into their world. I go to my woodshop and take God's creation and make something beautiful out of it. This brings me peace and joy and closer to God. I don't want that to become something I have to do. |

I've got one of those big ole' bandsaws (32") broken down in boxes ready to be repainted, reassembled and put back in service. Originally bought it for the wheels to build a sawmill out of, but COVID/job stuff took the wind out of those sails so I'm just going to put it back together as a bandsaw again. |

Sorry I slacked on this thread, kind of forgot about it.
This is what a quarter million dollar piece of wood processing machine looks like. We got it about a year ago. Attached File Attached File |
