Now if you want to talk about the business side of the furniture business, Dan is definitely somebody you want to have a conversation with. He has made over 5,000 dining room tables over the years, and that doesn’t even count the other types of furniture he has produced during his long career as well. With numbers like that you have to be doing something right, not only with building quality pieces, but also with building a quality company.


Dan is someone that has learned over time how to walk that fine line in furniture making. The line between having a manufacturing company and making pieces as an artistic pursuit.


Follow along as we talk about the importance of workshop automation, what the best steps for making a solid business foundation are, a deep dive into pricing, and much more.
