#488 - How To PRICE Your Woodworking Projects When You're Just Starting Out

from Handmade Business Secrets Podcast · host Zach Vaught

Pricing is the #1 thing that kills new woodworking businesses — not skill, not tools, not marketing. Most beginners guess a number, feel bad charging it, and end up working 20 hours for $200. In this video I break down exactly how to price your woodworking projects when you're just starting out: how to figure out your real material costs, what to actually charge for your time, how to build in profit instead of hoping it shows up, and why charging more usually gets you better customers, not fewer. If you've ever finished a table and realized you made less than minimum wage, watch this one all the way through. 📘 Download Zach's FREE eBook "Handmade Business Secrets" - your step-by-step guide to growing a profitable woodworking business: https://www.zachvaught.com/handmadebusinesssecretsbook 🚀 Ready to launch your custom furniture business?
