That plan became Northeast Woodworks, a high-end custom cabinet shop he built from a two-car garage in Connecticut, packed up, and rebuilt from scratch in Central Oregon. Josh and his business partner Alex Reid break down how a solo cabinet maker can clear half a million a year, why blue-collar trades are becoming the new white collar, and how they've built a growing community teaching anyone — skilled or starting from zero — to launch and grow a cabinet business through Cabinet Mastery. Whether you're deep in addiction, stuck in a dead-end job, or just looking for a business you can build with your hands — Josh built his way out of all three. Now he's showing everyone else how. 🔗 Connect with Josh & Northeast Woodworks IG: https://www.instagram.com/northeastwoodworks Cabinet Mastery IG: https://www.instagram.com/cabinetmastery YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NE_woodworks Websites: https://www.northeastww.com | https://www.cabinetmastery.pro ✅ Additional Resources New Beginnings Recovery Program (Pennsylvania): https://www.newbeginningsdrugrehab.org Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink: https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Ownership-U-S-Navy-SEALs/dp/1250183863 Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink: https://www.amazon.com/Discipline-Equals-Freedom-Field-Manual/dp/1250156947 Watch the full-length video version of any Dropping Bombs episode here on YouTube.
