Welcome to episode 80.

We've got an awesome interview today with a guy who started with a few used tools in his parents' basement and has now turned it into a full-scale custom furniture business and sawmill operation.

Paul Lemisky is the man behind Canadian woodworks, and he talks with us today about

picking his own path and growing his business with used equipment, a passion for woodworking,

and riding trends that he sees. He also shares with us the importance of proper pricing and the

stages that he's been through with his custom-built rocking chairs. Paul is one of the OGs of

Instagram, starting out in the dark ages of 2012, and since being

featured on Instagram's blog has grown his following to 372,000-plus followers.

His second account legacy lumber is nothing to bulk at either, with a strong following

of 57,000 followers.

Paul's business journey has been a long one

filled with tons of experience and we are super pumped to bring it all to you guys. Absolutely.

Some great tidbits in this interview. Without further ado, here's our interview with Paul

Lemiskey from Canadian Woodworks. All right guys, welcome back to another interview.

We are excited to have another Canadian.
