Stop Undercharging: How I Price Custom Furniture in a Real Shop

Описание: Most woodworkers undercharge because they only factor in materials and a "guess" at their time. In this video, I’m breaking down the exact formula I use at Design Creations Woodworking to stay profitable and sustainable.

We’re moving past the hobbyist mindset and looking at the real costs of running a professional shop—from material waste and sandpaper to machinery maintenance and the value of your experience.

What we cover: ✅ The 4-Part Pricing Formula (Materials + Waste + Shop Costs + Profit) ✅ Why "Hourly Rate" is a trap for skilled makers ✅ Handling deliveries and the hidden costs of logistics ✅ Client Vetting: Why saying "No" is your best business tool

If you’re tired of finishing a project only to realize you made $5 an hour, this video is for you. No staging, no fluff—just real shop talk from Midlothian, Texas.
