See the essential craft business tools inside the Make It workshop. We show you the most useful piece of equipment for makers.

Running a successful creative shop requires the right gear. In this workshop tour, Kim and Garrett break down the machinery that powers their daily production. From industrial laser cutters to UV printers, we discuss how these machines fit into a growing brand and why choosing the right craft business tools is critical for efficiency.

We highlight one specific piece of equipment that stands out as the most valuable asset in our studio. You will learn the practical benefits of this machine and how it helps small business owners scale their output. Understanding your equipment needs is the first step in starting a craft business that lasts.

Subscribe for weekly craft business breakdowns and equipment reviews. Which tool in your shop could you not live without? Let us know in the comments.

Watch to find out why a 3D printer for beginners (like the Bambu Lab series or any entry-level FDM printer) is the exact second machine we would buy if we had to restart our entire Etsy craft business from scratch!
