In the interview, Jeff shared not only his background in woodworking and how Feisty Dog came to be,\u00a0plus you&#8217;ll gain some really great insight into the business of woodworking. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>How did you get started woodworking?<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been around woodworking from a early age.\u00a0 My brother-in-law was a product design engineer at Black &amp; Decker (was involved with the first VS drill).\u00a0 Both he and my dad were fairly active.\u00a0 BIL built furniture and cabinets and dad built more utilitarian things. I learned a lot about workshop safety, how to approach a project and how to enjoy the process.\u00a0 Woodworking is my &#8220;mental floss&#8221; to escape the work\/life rat race. I enjoy the tactile nature of the craft and the personal satisfaction I receive when a design comes together and delights the customer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long have you been selling your woodcrafts?<\/strong><br \/>\nWe&#8217;re starting our second year of actively marketing our products. We did ad-hoc projects for friends\/family before that, but didn&#8217;t actively peruse the venture until fall 2013.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has selling products affected your woodworking?<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twwcdn-thewoodwhisperer.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GreenAndGreenPetFeeder.jpeg\" rel=\"lightbox[45054]\" title=\"Green and Green inspired pet feeder made by Feisty Dog Woodcrafts\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-45096\" src=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/4ed4dc31e7_GreenAndGreenPetFeeder-220x165.jpeg\" alt=\"Green and Green inspired pet feeder made by Feisty Dog Woodcrafts\" width=\"220\" height=\"165\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/4ed4dc31e7_GreenAndGreenPetFeeder-220x165.jpeg 220w, http:\/\/twwcdn-thewoodwhisperer.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GreenAndGreenPetFeeder.jpeg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/a>Sadly, quite a bit.\u00a0 The ability to wander into the shop and make something for fun isn&#8217;t in the plan.\u00a0 It&#8217;s now more on a production schedule: mill work -&gt; assembly -&gt; finishing.\u00a0 Off times, we&#8217;re working on promotion, answering communications, coming up with new ideas, etc or acquiring project materials. It&#8217;s a little easier to not have a &#8220;real job,&#8221; to work around, but then the need to produce and sell scratches off the luster pretty soon. a PT job brings some money in while allowing time for the business, but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Needing to make things that sell impulsively eliminates the ability to make enjoyable things that aren&#8217;t as directly sell able.\u00a0 I want to build a Krenovian-inspired case as well as a &#8220;Greene &amp; Greene light&#8221; project. Hopefully I will be able to do after the holiday rush.\u00a0 Health issues have suspended shows for the rest of 2014, but we plan to be on the show circuit in late Q1\/15. I also have a commission project in Q1\/15 for some built in Stickley-influenced bookcases in a newly-constructed home&#8217;s rec room, but those jobs are few and far between.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did the concept of Feisty Dog Woodcraft come about?<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/df29fa54ef_Feisty-Dogs.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[45054]\" title=\"The three dogs\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-45098\" src=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/df29fa54ef_Feisty-Dogs.jpg\" alt=\"The three dogs\" width=\"160\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a>My wife Linda and I have been involved in animal rescues for awhile, We&#8217;ve adopted three amazing dogs, two of them, Hunter (who is a Mountain Feist dog, a combination of a rat terrier, greyhound and Labrador retriever that has been bred for hunting squirrels since Abe Lincoln&#8217;s time &#8211; and the basis of our business name) and Daphne (a dachshund\/corgi mix), are our &#8220;Executive Staff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Trixie,who survived a horrific fire at a dog pound in southern Illinois in 11\/2007, had a terminal illness and left us in 2011. Her spirit remains with us. We have volunteered for Fur Keeps Animal Rescue in Barrington Hills, IL and perform pre-adoption site visits and whatever else they need to further their cause.<\/p>\n<p>Woodcrafts by Feisty Dog was created initially as a way for me to avoid becoming a WalMart greeter in my &#8220;golden years.&#8221;\u00a0 Based on the marketplace, I knew we could create and market quality handcrafted products for two and four legged friends &#8211; with some percentage of earnings donated to animal rescues &#8211; another way for us to give back and help.\u00a0 It could develop and grow to the point when we wander off into retirement, we could take the business with us and keep going.<\/p>\n<p>To increase awareness and contribution, we become affiliated with animal rescues, who encourages their staff, volunteers and clients purchase merchandise from us &#8211; with the net profits going directly to their rescue.\u00a0 We also provide them at least $150 of free merchandise annually for their fundraising activities.\u00a0 To date, we&#8217;ve donated nearly $1,500 in merchandise in 2014 to wonderful groups like PAWS Chicago, Save-A-Pet, etc. as well as our local Fire Department for their annual fundraiser. When someone purchases from us, we ask them if they have a favorite animal rescue.\u00a0 If they do, it is noted on the receipt as well as our books.\u00a0 We send check quarterly, and always round up to make it more beneficial.\u00a0 If the customer doesn&#8217;t have a specific rescue,we divide the funds among affiliated rescues.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, economic realities in 2014 &#8220;encouraged&#8221; us to ramp up the business.\u00a0 My wife&#8217;s job was eliminated in February. Fortunately she found a wonderful job with a great company in July &#8211; which she enjoys, and provided us needed healthcare benefits.\u00a0 My job was eliminated in March.\u00a0 However, I recently was offered a part time job and might possibly have other options in the near future. But the situation gave us an opportunity to really focus on the business, out of necessity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice do you have for someone who is just starting out or thinking about starting a woodworking business\/side business?\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twwcdn-thewoodwhisperer.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SoundBusinessAdvice.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[45054]\" title=\"Stop sign graphic that says &quot;Sound Business Advice&quot;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-45102\" src=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/df29fa54ef_SoundBusinessAdvice-220x220.jpg\" alt=\"Stop sign graphic that says &quot;Sound Business Advice&quot;\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/df29fa54ef_SoundBusinessAdvice-220x220.jpg 220w, http:\/\/twwcdn-thewoodwhisperer.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SoundBusinessAdvice-110x110.jpg 110w, http:\/\/twwcdn-thewoodwhisperer.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SoundBusinessAdvice-450x450.jpg 450w, http:\/\/twwcdn-thewoodwhisperer.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SoundBusinessAdvice-50x50.jpg 50w, http:\/\/twwcdn-thewoodwhisperer.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SoundBusinessAdvice.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/a>First: STOP, take a breath and <span>really think it through<\/span>.Do your homework &#8211; visit local shows and do a little &#8220;intel work&#8221; &#8211; see what&#8217;s out there &#8211; primarily what&#8217;s missing and what&#8217;s selling. Check the internet sales sites and do the same &#8220;intel work.&#8221;\u00a0 This was easy for me, since I&#8217;ve spent the last 34 yrs in marketing research with direct involvement with successful products like Gerber Graduates, America&#8217;s Cut pork chops, etc. and revolutionizing the market information\/segmentation\/<wbr><\/wbr>analysis process in the home building industry (I also predicted the housing bubble 14 mos in advance, but that&#8217;s another story).<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve done your market analysis, decide IF you have something that is viable, and make sure you can build it <i>right<\/i> ALL the time &#8211; potentially in mass quantities.\u00a0 To make money, you MUST streamline the process without cutting quality for time\/cost savings &#8211; which pay you back.\u00a0 Go with your strengths &#8211; especially if they are unique\/different to what&#8217;s offered.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t try to offer a bunch of things that you aren&#8217;t confident in the quality of design and build.\u00a0 This is definitely a time when less is more.\u00a0 Promoting your BEST efforts &#8211; even if it&#8217;s one product &#8211; is much better than having a bunch of so-so stuff on the table.<\/p>\n<p>Establish a consistent BRAND identity and stick with it!\u00a0 all of our are promotional materials &#8211; including show banner, booth signage and embroidered polo shirts worn at shows are based, literally on our BRANDing iron logo.
