Why can’t such a good woodturner make enough money turning?
@WYOMINGWOODTURNER21 сағат бұрын
Frank That is exactly the question. It is very difficult to truly be a professional Woodturner. We have to make money in several different areas. Many Woodturners have signature tools they sell, they demonstrate they write magazine articles, and some are even KZbinrs. I believe there is a small percentage of turners who do OK. I have never been a production Turner and never wanted to be. That is another avenue that can be lucrative. I sell my stuff on Etsy and do fairly well. Put on KZbin the competition is enormous. I am not just competing against other Woodturners but everyone who makes a video. Those who watch Wood Turning videos is a small percentage of viewers on KZbin anyway you can see it’s very complicated. Thanks, Sam

Fun video. I liked the open concept with no inserts so we could see the tube inside. I guess the inserts made it a canteen and matching the assignment.

Very cool project Sam. I like the Roman Canteen approach you took to turning this piece; this inserts are really neat. Very appropriate to be using Bradford pear given that is one of Mike Peace's go-to wood species. I've seen your's and Mike's videos thus far, now off to see what the other two have done with this project.

Your bud vase / weed pot is great Sam. I really like the design. The inserts really set the faces off. Nice touch having different designs on each face. Gives the option of changing the look from time to time. Another thought hit me when you first inserted the glass vial. Going without the inserts could be a whole different idea. Make it a see through vase. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Thanks for your tips! I am just starting out. Probably could have started 10yrs ago. But, I was just starting my woodworking journey at that time. Having the tech, and photography knowledge ahead of time has really helped as I am also a photographer. (I have my old Olympus OMD Em5 MK11 I'm shooting with.) But, trying to manage the camera AND do the woodworking has been a challenge! LOL My videos are no where near the quality of my photos! Little by little, trying to do better. :) I do woodworking, turning and CNC work. I'm hoping that the three helps widen my audience. Plus, there are not very many of us gal woodworkers out there. ;)

I will continue to make videos but focus on my new channel. And I need to do more turning in my own shop just for the joy of Turning. But I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching Sam.

Hi Sam, I'm a new woodturning KZbinr, and I've always appreciated your videos for their clear direction and approachable tone. Your personality and voice are so distinctive and recognizable, and I appreciate you paving the way for those of us who want to share woodturning with others. Thank you for all you've done for the community.

Sam, hate to see you give up the original channel. I have learned so much from you. I really haven’t given your new channel a lot of views, assuming it is for mostly brand newbies? I will watch more so see if I can still learn new tricks or maybe remember what I have forgotten? If it is no longer as rewarding in all the manner you’ve hoped for either give it up and focus on building the new one or try harder to make them both work. All the best and stay safe.
@andrewhorowitz263010 күн бұрын
Your subscribers and number of views per video seems roughly consistent with that of similar woodturning education KZbinrs. The only woodturners who have substantially more have clickbaity videos where they turn outlandish things and provide no real educational value, no discussion of how and why they do what they do. It's unfortunate that it is impossible to make make decent money providing the important content that you provide. I think this is why a lot of wood turning instructors have switched from the KZbin model to doing live stream demonstrations that viewers have to pay for.

If you really enjoy making the videos - then make the videos and stop worrying and complaining about the money. People get tired of hearing about it. Lots of folks on you tube complain about the money. If it is about the money - quit. Then you make nothing because you are not putting out any content. It seems like a lot of tubers end up complaining about the time invested and the money made. If you enjoy making & editing videos then do it for the enjoyment. Just my opinion. Hope it helps you make a decision. Good luck in whatever you decide.

Well said. It is rather naive to think you can outsmart Google and take their money. Some channels are successful, but very few. Sam is working his heart out chasing a dream. I post “shorts” just for the fun of it. If people watch-great. But, I really don’t care. Turning is a small part of my life. I love all types of woodworking and do it for my satisfaction. After all, isn’t that what a hobby is about.

Sam I have watched and learned from all your videos on both your channels. I understand it takes a lot of time to make and edit each video. I have not been able to find an editor that works for my simple mind. So the few videos I have posted on my channel have all been unedited in real time. I will continue to watch all the videos you post on both your channels.
