About Us
Welcome to CIC Workshop, Woodworking Made Simple
At CIC Workshop, we're more than just a store; we're a community born from the passion and dedication of woodworkers and CNC'ers like you. Inspired by our journey with "Cutting It Close," we've set out to simplify the art of woodworking, and CNC routing making it accessible and affordable for everyone. Whether you're looking to start a business, earn some extra money on the side, or simply indulge in the joy of creating, we're here to support you every step of the way.
Our Story
It all started with a simple idea: to make woodworking less intimidating and more accessible. The founder Ryan Drapela has built a multimillion dollar woodworking business that started in his parents horsebarn with only $75. After seeing the need to help, Ryan turned to YouTube to share his journey, tips, and tricks. As "Cutting It Close" grew, so did our community's desire for a one-stop-shop that reflects our shared values of simplicity, quality, and affordability. Thus, CIC Workshop was born - a culmination of three+ years of learning, sharing, and growing together.
