is it CHEAPER to BUILD your own FURNITURE (diy style) or to BUY from a STORE #woodworking

In this video, I’m asking a question… is it cheaper to DIY your own furniture or to buy from a store?

I’m going to break down how much this table cost me to build and how much a similar table and size was going to cost from a furniture store.

  1. It looks AMAZING, congratulations!!
    With all that machinery and tools in your garage, I would NEVER buy anything from a store again eheh
    Cheers!

  2. First things first: I am VERY impressed with your work. It's incredible! You SHOULD be very proud, and I hope your wife is too! And great job sticking it to the overpriced furniture manufacturers!
    I only have 2 questions. 1) how long did it take you to build it? 2) How much do you estimate it would have cost you if you had to buy all the supplies, including all the tools (I don't have anything except a few clamps and a circular saw)?

  3. [Yes, furniture is cheaper to make yourself. We made furniture for years and is just sitting in placed we built. I am not dying, nor dead. In other words, I want to enjoy my own things I made. Theres no reason to have somebody else make profit off things I made or sitting in museums. Wheres my nice homes and furniture, Randy and Vincent? I am very upset and I am not doing all of this over again. Fix the program and do what is right, no matter what story you are trying to tell. This isnt funny, anymore and I am very angry. Stop showing videos and pictures online of things I made to sell. You have no rights, I dont care who says what. They dont have no rights to say anything. Comminities used to have workshops to build and make things. Just like we used to have woodshops in schools. Would made more sense to have adults come work students to make their furniture in their own towns. We need more lumber? How many over grown trees are there to chop down? Basically, all of you failed the test on survival and thriving.]

  4. Yes and it’s easier to make your own suits if you have 100k in equipment and thought of hours of experience.

  5. Nice process and result, just be careful when you cut on the floor.. in that position you can get tired and fall onto the machine 🙏🏻

  6. Dude!! That’s awesome!! you did great!! I was just looking at practically an identical console table for my entryway😊
