Matt Ruben: Ruben Custom Sawmill & Woodworking Revisited
Welcome back to another episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast.
Today, we are revisiting our episode with Matt Ruben from Ruben Custom Sawmilling and Woodworks.
Matt started about three years ago when he decided to buy a Woodmizer IT 40 standard. When he began, he watched many YouTube videos learning about the potential profit that he could earn from running an independent sawmill as a one-person operation.
Currently, Matt is focusing primarily on portable sawmill work, selling live edge slabs, and developing the custom projects part of his company. Matt explains that he had almost no woodworking experience outside of high school woodshop, but he didn't let that stop him as he fell in love with the experience of opening up logs to see the many different types of beauty that they contain.
