Hobby Turned Business Overnight

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 YouTube hobby both turning into a business simultaneously. Part 1 https://youtu.be/1zo6fV_XrcA After the last cutting board video took off here on YouTube 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 :) Boards and other products sold on my website https://www.krisdevo.com/ Social Media / business sponsorship inquiries - krisdevo@influint.co At the request of a few amazing people I have set up donation links for those who want to take another step in supporting me and this channel.
