10 More Woodworking Projects That Sell - Low Cost High Profit - Make Money Woodworking (Episode 6)

[@woodyriley2844]

I am a vegetable farmer that sells at farmers market. We do pretty good through mist of the year but in South Texas the summers are brutal and not much grows. I started making "smalls" and selling them from our booth and it has helped tremendously in keeping income coming g in and bills paid. Thank you for this series.

As a lady woodworker, you make things so much easier for me with your tips and how to videos! Thank you so much!

[@sk13ppy]

Hey Matthew Peech, I've watched a lot of your videos and you're an awesome guy! Unfortunately, I can't comment when I watch videos on my tv via Chrome Cast, unless I jump on my computer straight away. I can't find it now. I just want to say "Thank you very much for your inspirational words about believing in yourself!" I briefly cried after you said that. Then seconds later I laughed and said out loud, 'Thank you for being my therapist!' 😂 My mum died last year, she was 93. Most of my life I felt like no one believed in me but in 2013 she said she was sorry for trying to live her life through me and that she was proud of me. I'm doing this woodwork for her and myself, she would have loved doing woodwork too, but never had the chance. (It's a long story, too long for YT). Thank you for motivating and inspiring me! You're a great guy! 😍😎

[@SlickRickTPB]

Could you do a video on things you have tried that don't sell? I love seeing the positives and the wins but knowing about some of the losses and hard times would be interesting as well.

[@LetsGo6009]

Great question!

I scored a set of 16 full size bed slats at the Habitat Restore, for $8. Those slats are going to become serving trays to sell for the holidays. Thank you for teaching me how to earn a bit of cash with my woodworking. I have followed your advice and am making templates to keep quality high and increase speed to market. Please keep making these types of videos. You’re awesome!

Hey I recently found your channel while scrolling through KZbin. I just wanted to say, you really got me inspired to make a business and start selling my products! I have been building things, doing construction, blowing glass, painting, anything mechanic wise and working with metal my whole life! I’ve always hated working for the man and slaving away at a job I ultimately hated. I saw one of your videos and decided to start my own business doing all the things I love doing most! I want you to know I appreciate your content and it made a huge difference in my life! Keep up the great work!

[@synthwolfe8906]

Just a tip to help sell at places like farmer's markets: bring something to do. Have a small, simple project you can work on right there, at your booth. My grandma used to make purses (and other such bags). There was a guy who was always there, and he would make $400-$700 per hour, just whittling a small project. Other woodworkers would only make half or so of what he did, as they didn't have a small project. They'd bring a book or something.

[@rebeccabarnett8278]

Im about ready to retire and i need a sidehustle and i love to work with wood. Got a bit crazy here in cali and decided to diy my flooring and painting and windows and bathroom faucets and cabinets. Just went you tube crazy and learned how to use saws, cut trim and so much more... i have a feeling that im going to be watching your site and getting a booth at the farmers market. Ill be in kentucky and they have some cool antique stores where you rent a space and sell your goods. That may be aomething i do for some extra funds. I dont have some of your tools and i may need to remedy that once i get some things made and sold. Thank you for making these and putting it out online. Im excited and cant wait to set up my shop and garage and house and enjoy my retirement.

I don't have Pottery Barn around my area but we have Hobby Lobby. The first time I went into Hobby Lobby I completely lost track of time because man they have way to much stuff to look through. So I am in the store and my phone rings. It's my wife and she asks me where I was and when I told her she said "do you realize that you have been there almost 2 hours". That is a true story, 100% I do picture frames and they have probably have over 300 and I know I killed some time looking

Doors are cool. I removed an old set of garage doors for a customer, made and installed barn style cedar doors for them. I bought the cedar off the shelf at Lowes, milled them down on my Dewalt planer, put them together with glass for $6,500. I wish I could share the picture with you.

[@timothymbess]

For the distressed look, I like to use a dark stain first and then cover the top with white. I use craft paint for the top coat because it dries FAST and you can use a dry brush technique to not over-apply the paint. Less sanding afterwards.

[@rebekahmccormack5762]

As someone who knows absolutely nothing about woodworking but really wanting to learn I LOVE your channel. Made my first shelving unit for my sons crystals so different partitions etc and tho not perfect ( told him it's rustic look 😉) I was pretty happy I took your advise and just gave it a go! So massive thank you I'm really enjoying learning from you.
