YCR CutWorks — Can I Make a REAL Living From My Makers Hobby?
I'm Steve Garbutt from Yorkshire — restorer of classic cars, maker of bespoke laser cut art and home decor, and founder of YCR CutWorks.
This channel is my honest, unfiltered attempt to turn a laser cutting ,3d scanning and printing hobby into a real working business. No experience, no guarantees, just real machines, real orders, real numbers and real mistakes — every single week.
We've got some serious kit in the workshop — Gweike fibre lasers, xTool, LaserPecker, 3D scanners, CNC and more — and I'm figuring all of it out alongside you.
Want to support the channel? MEMBERS get exclusive behind the scenes content and early looks at upcoming projects. No pressure — but if you enjoy what we do here, we'd love to have you along.

New video drops TONIGHT at 6pm — brand new machine, day one, and a challenge to make £200 on the very first day. Don't miss it!
And if you haven't seen last week's video yet, go check it out — I built a massive hexagonal wall display in just 48 hours and asked whether there's actually money to be made:

We took on one massive build in just 48 hours and the big question is, is there actually money to be made?

New video dropping this Sunday! 🔥 Making a hexagon Tree of Life wall piece — mandala panels, built-in planters and tea light holders — plus we're getting some new kit in the workshop too.
If you haven't caught the last one where we made an absolute mess of something, go check it out before the new one lands 👇

If you haven't already, don't forget to check out Sunday's video!
I spent days building what I genuinely think is some of my best work… and it completely fell apart. But did we manage to turn it around and salvage something from the wreckage?

If you missed last Sunday's video, go check it out — it's one of my favourites so far! I turned a few sheets of cheap wood into a full Viking backgammon board and asked the big question… is there actually money to be made?

And if that wasn't enough — brand new video drops TODAY at 6pm! Let's just say not everything goes to plan…
See you at 6!
