IF you wanted to turn the fan over, and pull through the filter, instead of pushing it through, that would collect dust on the outside. The Wynn Environmental 9L300NANO and 9L300NANOEXT are “outside-in” filters that would fit the bill, ie the air is pulled IN through the filter media, capturing dust on the outside and exhausting air up through the fan. This is generally the approach for removing dust from a large volume of air like a room or workshop.. That’s in contrast to the 35 series, which are “inside-out” filters for dust collectors, where dust is collected from a concentrated source, confined by hose or pipe, and directed to the inside of a filter. Hope this helps clear the air.😊

The dominoes significantly enhance the tabletop's structural integrity. I question the origin of the contrary assertion. Concealing information solely to promote plan sales is, in my opinion, ethically questionable. While I would still purchase plans to support the channel, withholding information in videos to drive plan sales is frustrating.
@mmcc_woodshop62882 күн бұрын
Can you elaborate? Any of the joints can be done with other means aside from the domino. You’re saying it’s unethical for me to sell my personal design plans for three dollars ($3) to help financially support my business?
@meilyn222 күн бұрын
@mmcc_woodshop6288 Read my post again! In the video, you mentioned that the dominoes are only for alignment. My point is that they also contribute to the tabletop's strength. As for the second part, I only stated that people will buy plans if they want to. Concealing information in your video to compel people to purchase plans is what I was referring to, even if the plan costs just 0.1 cent. This video could've done better than this. The algorithm senses that people aren't getting the information they want. So the video doesn't get pushed.
@mmcc_woodshop6288Күн бұрын
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. The face grain or edge grain glue joint is sufficient for strength without dominos/dowels/biscuits/etc. I think $3 is extremely reasonable for someone who wants to build this exact table. The algorithm is not shutting this video down because I mentioned I had plans available. Regardless, thanks for watching and sharing your input 👍🏻

I actually moved from rural middle Georgia to the south Atlanta area 4 years ago. Lots of major differences here. The demand of course is much greater due to the increased population. With that said, there was a huge increase in the amount of clients that would be willing to pay for a custom piece is really valued at. Location, location, location. Heard it many times and it still rings true. I specialize in epoxy resin creations. The average table build was selling for , lets just say on average, $12-1500 in mid ga. That same table build is $2500 plus where I am located now. There are so many factors in regards to calculate retails. Tools, materials, power bill etcc...but the one that is often not mentioned is your experience and knowledge. For instance, adding breadboards to compensate for future issues ith the cracks at the ends of the table. Small things turn into big things down the road. My reputation is very important to me. Dont forget to keep this in your sights as you move forward. Nice work on the red oak table. Go Dawgs !!

Can I use these straight away or do I need to take (extra) measures to prevent it warping? And if it's better to let them dry first, could I simply do this to keep them in my garage for ( a couple of?) months?

I’m a cabinetmaker by trade & do a lot of side jobs away from my daily job. I struggle with the same thing too every time I build something custom for someone. What I’ve finally figured out is there’s a price for custom. Ur knowledge, tools, & labor is worth something. I don’t own one piece of festool equipment, but I know it will take a lot of $380 profits to pay for the track saw you have. That being said, it’s a fine balance of making money & pricing yourself out of a project. For reference I try to profit at least as much as the material cost is. That being said, I would’ve priced something like this closer to $2050. It’s a nice table for sure!

How many hours did you put into this build? $1,500.00 seems low for a custom built piece of furniture. Visit some high end furniture stores to see what they are charging. If you put 20% on material ($1116 x 1.2) then you only made $160.00 to cover your labour. If you built this in one hour then you're OK but surely it took many more hours than that to build. Custom work demands custom cost. Don't undersell the quality of work you do. Of course, sometimes you have to be aggressive with pricing if you are trying to establish a new business but don't take too long to start charging what you are truly worth.

The table looks really nice. First of all, you called the $380 “profit”. No. Profit is after you’ve paid yourself, covered your overhead, accounted for taxes and insurance, and included materials. So if you spent 30 hours on that table, you just lost over $1000. You say you’re not a professional, but that sure looks like a professional shop you’re working in. Are you renting time? You could also think of this another way: By selling your work for $1000 loss you are hurting anyone else in your area who is trying to make an actual living building furniture. I run up against this all the time in my trade. Also, should you ever decide to become a professional you’ll have to convince your clients why your prices just doubled, because that’ll be the only way to stay alive. I wish you all the best. You clearly know what you’re doing with wood. I charge $48/hour for my labor, plus materials overhead etc. Then I add a percentage for profit. I would have charged around $3500 for that table, but I would also have made the legs. I appreciate your honesty! Subbed.

One thing about location, is we always have to do a breakdown on the demographics of where we are. I’ve known people who lived in a town of only 20k people and thrived to open a business in the closest “big city” which has around 500k people which they felt was a bigger market. However the town they lived in only had 20k people because the properties were HUGE and every household had an income of over $150k. Meanwhile the “big city” they dreamed of tapping into only had about $10k people making over $150k a year, another 200k propel making between $60k and $100k, and all the remaining people were living in poverty. Then because that city is a “big city” the cost of living was a lot higher so those 10k people making over $150k couldn’t live as well off of it as someone in the outskirts making that much. So in reality that town of 20k people was a larger market of people making enough to afford their work than the big city they wanted to tap into. I don’t know if that’s the case where you are but we need to consider things like that.

@@mmcc_woodshop6288 I’ve only been doing this for a couple of years, but I’ve realized a couple of things. First, I can’t compete price-wise with stores. Most of their stuff is made overseas with inferior materials, and there’s just no way to earn a livable wage trying to compete with them. I accepted I was going to have to be higher-end if I wanted to survive. If you had sold one table this year for $4000, you would have profited about the same as making 9 tables priced at $1500. So I altered my business model doing less commissions, but making more money per commission. Also, I don’t know how remote you are, but if there are any cities within driving distance, market yourself to local furniture stores, interior designers, new home builders, etc., in the city. You can just deliver your stuff to your clients 1 per quarter to reduce delivery expenses. Good luck! I also wish you well on the channel!
