Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicholas Starrett.
Hi Nicholas, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Nick’s Custom Woodworks, established in 2015 as a side gig, swiftly evolved into my full-time passion within a year. Transitioning from hobbyist to dedicated craftsman, I’ve cultivated a career centered on crafting unique designs for clients. Each project is a personalized endeavor, where clients share their visions through one-on-one consultations, allowing me to expertly turn ideas into reality using only the finest materials, prioritizing local sourcing for quality assurance. Beyond the workshop, Nick’s Custom Woodworks has grown into an online community of over 1 million enthusiasts seeking tips, tricks, and quality products to elevate their home and DIY building skills. Operating primarily in the US, we inspire hundreds of thousands to embrace the tools, materials, and plans we recommend daily.
With years of experience as a professional carpenter in Northeast Florida, I bring expertise and skill to every custom project; trust in our hand-picked materials and finishes, coupled with our online authority, to amplify your brand’s value tenfold. As a furniture and woodworking expert, I understand the desires of home DIYers, providing precisely what they seek to learn and utilize in their builds.
In addition to my established role as a professional carpenter and founder of Nick’s Custom Woodworks, I’ve launched a new venture this year. I proudly launched Bossdog Wood Glue, which provides high-quality wood glue solutions. This venture complements my commitment to craftsmanship, ensuring that the materials used in every project, from Nick’s Custom Woodworks to your DIY endeavors, meet the highest standards. Trust in Bossdog Wood Glue to bring more excellence to your woodworking projects.
Alright, let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what challenges have you had to overcome?
Embarking on the journey of establishing Nick’s Custom Woodworks was challenging. In the early days, balancing the demands of a side gig with a full-time job required meticulous time management and unwavering dedication. The transition from a hobbyist to a dedicated craftsman brought financial uncertainties as I navigated the complexities of turning passion into a sustainable career. Building a clientele from scratch demanded significant effort in networking and marketing. Despite these hurdles, the commitment to creating unique designs and fostering personal connections with clients fueled the resilience needed to overcome the initial struggles, ultimately shaping Nick’s Custom Woodworks into the thriving business it is today.
