It depends a lot on how you are selling them (online or locally) and if the style fits the area that you sell them if you sell them locally. If selling online then it will depend on how people are finding you and how the competition is. I just did a quick search on Etsy and they range from about $100-200 USD. That price range could be about right but I think it would be hard to sell there. I would check locally and on Facebook Marketplace. It may take a little trial and error on price locally until you find what works.

Thank you so much for making this video. Do you know the measurements of each piece of wood?
@StoneAndTimberShopClass10 күн бұрын
I used 1x2s (actual size is 3/4" x 1-1/2") for the legs. I cut mine to 77" long. For the piece that is supporting the markerboard I used a 1x3 (3/4" x 2-1/2") and the length was determined by the distance between the legs at the point I decided to attach it. I do not have the measurement I used for the height off the floor. This easel is still in Ohio at my old shop. We have since moved to Florida, so I can't even check it for you. I would suggest determining the height off the floor that looks good to you for your use, clamping the board to the legs like I did, marking the backside of the easel support where it meets the leg, and cutting it to that length. The lengths will vary for all 4 pieces of wood depending a lot on your use. Hopefully that helps!

How much time does it take to make these? Thinking about what’s the profit margin with time involved.
@StoneAndTimberShopClassАй бұрын
It really depends a lot on what you use to cut the faces with. If you have a CNC, maybe a total of 15-20 minutes start to finish on each one. If you don't have a CNC, it would depend a lot on how good you are at cutting out the details in those faces. I think if I had a scroll saw I could still make them in under 30 minutes each. You could also reduce time by setting up a stop block on your saw so you don't have to measure each piece. Just slide to the pre-set block and cut.

I've seen ones with lids and stems. I love the look but was trying to get 2 luminaries out of 1 board for this. If you made the lids you could still get 3 luminaries out of 2 boards with extra leftover. Thanks for all of the input!

I hate all these videos where people just look on etsy to talk about woodworking ideas that sell. If you aren't selling it and haven't made any success doing it, then these videos are useless. You have no idea what their marketing efforts are. Look for better content.
@StoneAndTimberShopClassАй бұрын
I assume you haven't seen any of my other videos or you would know that I have only done a few of these videos. Most of my videos just simply show how to make things. Why would I promote an item I am selling unless I no longer want to sell it? My goal of these videos is to give some ideas and provide any info I can about the potential it would have as a product to sell. I do very little marketing on the items I sell on an unrelated Etsy store and the sales estimates Everbee has for my items is lower than what they actually are so I feel confident in it providing good enough information to explore making and selling the item. Thanks for watching.

Bro, go watch some videos on testing of wood joints. That miter joint with glue is pleanty strong for that application. 😂
@StoneAndTimberShopClass2 ай бұрын
I've seen properly done miters pull apart just from shrinking and swelling due to seasonal humidity changes. If I am selling something, especially online, my goal is customer satisfaction. A bad review can do significant damage to a store. You may be right about it being strong enough for that application, but it is still a weak spot and will inevitably lead to bad reviews if it were to fail. Add a spline or make it a lap joint and I'd feel much better about it. Thanks for your comment.
@sinisterwolf892 ай бұрын
@@StoneAndTimberShopClass A spline is for sure a good option, I usually use an dowl in miters that can't be seen on the outside once its glued. But a pocke hole screw would, imo, ruin that clean look, even with a plug. But I am probably more likely to notice/care about that than an average consumer. We are our own harshest critics.
@StoneAndTimberShopClass2 ай бұрын
100% agree. Dowel would work. I didn't love the pocket hole idea, just thought it would hold better than a simple miter.

For the fasteners on the monitor stand, you could totally counter sink a hole for the screws a quarter inch down, then use plastic hole plug/caps to hide the fasteners. That way you could include screws and caps in the package when you ship it, so it can sit flat and be assembled there with a screw driver.

For the wooden leg riser, getting screw holes all the way through would be hard and to have them align perfectly with holes in the top is going to be very difficult. Another suggestion would be to cut the legs 0.25-0.5 inch longer - depending on thickness of top - and then cutting a cavity to accept the leg. Glue would be stronger than pocket holes. Thanks for these ideas. Love the album storage
@StoneAndTimberShopClass2 ай бұрын
I would agree. A dado cut underneath to fit the leg into with glue would make a strong joint. My only reason for not going there for this video is it is a little more advanced technique and either requires a lot of cuts, a router with a fence/good straight edge guide, or a dado blade for the table saw. Very good comment, thanks for watching and engaging!
