Woodworking businesses come in many forms, the first thing to decide is which area of woodwork you are going into. This may depend on what you can afford now, rather than what you would ultimately like to do. If interested in making a profit, with small investment, D.I.Y work may be a good option as it requires less machinery than solid wood.

To make anything beyond small handmade items, you’ll need a table saw, preferably a sliding table saw for cabinets. You’ll also need a cnc wood working machine and bits, as well as some basic measuring tools.

To build wood cabinets, you would need a jointer, planer, shaper, and full-sized compressor, which would cost around $15-20,000.

As you get into woodworking, you will need more machines, including sanders, hinge boring and insertion machines, and a lathe. You will also need more tools for different jobs, and you will discover that you need to buy new tools as you learn new operations.
