Doe Mr.Built-in

As someone who started from manual cutting, self-taught CNC, and learned every piece of tech I use — I’ve come a long way. Today, I finally have the money to buy any software I want. That’s why I told myself: “If I ever switch software again… it must be the last one I use.” So I did what…

(And Why It Affects My Goal of No Pre-Assembly) Let me be clear: This post isn’t meant to discredit any production software. In my experience, there’s no such thing as “good” or “bad” software. There’s only one question that matters: Can it solve your problem? And while dedicated production software helped me a lot in the…

In this industry, it’s considered normal to assemble built-in furniture at the factory before installation.Most people do it to avoid mistakes on-site. I understand why.But from my experience, I see it differently. I believe it’s a waste of time, space, and people. My goal is clear: Built-in should be installed directly at the customer’s home — without…

When I flew to China in search of better software, I wasn’t just shopping — I was hunting for something that could truly fit the way my factory worked. I found it. I bought the software, became friends with the developer team, and — more importantly — I learned their secret approach: parametric cabinet modeling. 📐 Parametric Modeling: A New Mindset At…

If you’ve read this far, you might think I’ve told you my full story. But the truth is — we’re still in 2018. Right now, it’s 2025.What I’ve shared so far? Just a small part of the journey. And while I was busy upgrading machines and learning CNC,there was another project — a side project — that quietly became the foundation…

If you’ve followed my journey, you know how excited I was when I bought my first CNC nesting machine. It was a big step forward — no more beam saw problems, no more panel size errors. Just clean, precise cuts… ready for barcode drilling. But here’s what I didn’t expect: That machine would also teach me my first big…

As I’ve shared before, my dream was simple:To clone myself. Not literally, of course — but through systems. I wanted machines and software to do what I used to do by hand. Accurately. Automatically. Without me standing there. But one machine kept getting in the way of that dream: The beam saw. ⚠️ Beam Saw Problems: The Reality of…

When I started using tech in my furniture business, I faced a big decision: Should I buy one of those expensive, all-in-one woodworking software systems? They looked powerful — but also way out of my budget. So I made a different choice: I picked the cheapest software that could solve one problem at a time. I Didn’t…

After I got comfortable working with CNC plasma cutting for steel, things started to shift. What began as a few custom metal jobs slowly turned into a real business.And with that growth came a new kind of customer request: “Can you build a cabinet too?” Steel to Wood: A New Chapter At first, we said yes —…

When people hear I run a tech-driven furniture business now, they probably imagine I started in a clean office with a laptop and plans. But the truth? I started in a hot workshop. With sparks flying.And my first CNC machine was not for wood — it was for steel. 🛠️ The Handmade Hustle Before I ever…
