For woodworking shop owners
Being a woodworker shouldn't mean being broke.
You're skilled enough to build anything. Nobody ever taught you how to build a business. We help woodshop owners fix the business side, so the craft finally pays like it should.

About us
I built this because I lived it.
Luke Dodds
Founder, Sales Garage · Owner, The Timber Garage
I built The Timber Garage from a one-man shop into a real business. I learned the hard way that being good at woodworking has nothing to do with being good at running a woodworking business.
Sales Garage exists because we got tired of watching talented builders stay broke.
Our mission: end the starving woodworker. The woodworker who builds well should live well.
What we help with
The business side of your shop.
Getting found
We help more of the right people find your shop, without wasting money on ads that don't work.
Charging what you're worth
Set prices that cover your time and materials, and build a shop that doesn't fall apart the second you get busy.
1-on-1 coaching
Regular calls with a coach who has actually run a woodworking shop. Not a business guy reading from a script.
Know your numbers
A simple dashboard that shows where your shop stands. No guessing, no spreadsheets.
Planning ahead
Know what your shop needs next month instead of finding out the hard way.
Group calls
Learn alongside other shop owners going through the same stuff. Real talk, real numbers, no fluff.
Real woodworkers, real results
What other shop owners are doing.
