Episode 52:  Mike Legregni, Founder of Veteran Wood Co.

Starting with a small, inexpensive CNC, Mike quickly grew his business into a full-time income which all began from his two-car garage.  Using a STEPCRAFT Q.408 CNC System along with a host of other high-end tools, Mike creates some amazing custom signs and other woodworking projects.   There are a lot of posts online where people question if it is possible to actually make a full-time living with a CNC business.  Mike is one example of someone who is living that dream.  His hard work, quality craftsmanship, and dedication had given him the ability to do what he loves for a living.   In this podcast, Mike talks about his business journey and gives some very good advice on the right way to start and grow a woodworking/CNC business.
