Bridgette & Dillon: Farmhouse Woodworking
“We started dating, I think it was like in 2019, and like she kind of said, we just started building things together for our own house and we kind of loved how we were a great team.
We worked really well together, and we really liked what we were making. And then some of our friends started reaching out and they're like,
“Hey, I love that. Could you build that for us?”
And yeah, we started realizing people wanted this stuff that we were making.”
- Dillon
Welcome to a brand-new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast. Today, your host Steve Larosiliere is joined by Bridget and Dillon of Farmhouse Woodworking.
Since Bridget's father was a contractor, she was constantly exposed to the world of woodworking as a child. She majored in engineering in college, worked as an engineer for a while, and discovered her passion when she and Dillan bought their home and began DIY home improvements. Dillon, on the other hand, was a teacher before starting the business. The woodworking crafts they made along the way and how well they got along with one another won them over. When some of their pals requested to create things for them, they learned that people actually wanted the stuff they were producing.
In this episode, Bridget and Dillon talked about their most significant project, how they made it through quitting their day jobs to focus on their woodworking business, and their promotional strategy to draw in customers.
