Cutting Board Hobby Turned Business Overnight Part 2
Large production run of 68 cutting boards in my tiny shop here in Alaska.
This is the continuation of my cutting board hobby and my UKposts hobby both turning into a business simultaneously.
Part 1
• My Cutting Board Hobby...
After the last cutting board video took off here on UKposts I was receiving about 20 cutting board requests a day for a few weeks. This is the story on how those events unfolded in sequence (over 6 weeks) to share with you guys and gals, how my cutting board hobby / side job turned into an opportunity for a business practically overnight. Along with the ups and downs of trying to make it all happen on a larger scale.
I also have included plenty of woodworking tips and tricks, how to, and details on how I make these boards from start to finish.
I kindly ask if you are going to copy my designs that they are for personal use only.
Please take what you got from this and make it your own :)
