Booo lol. It pays to have over 10 min on KZbin videos.

[@James225]

@@RangerBarlow It doesn't pay the people watching it....... ;)

[@RangerBarlow]

@@James225 😆 indeed. Just a pain making videos longer than they need to be.

Thank you! I hate when youtubers waste over a minute on nonsense.

[@jordanbrewer191]

The hero we need.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Business tip from the comments section... when discussing the repeat business idea around the coffee table, keep a log of what customers have purchased with wood type, finish used, what size router bit you used for the edge, joinery type and measurements, and photos. Then when they want an additional piece to match, you have more than just your memory to help you match the previous build that may be some time ago. Also re-scaling for different size main boards is one thing, but if you used a 1/4" round-over bit on a large piece, scaling it down too much for narrower boards on a smaller piece may look like you left out that detail to many non-woodworkers. Keeping routed and or carved details the same size helps tie the pieces together visually.

[@thomasarussellsr]

@Sean Steele I meant a log as in a journal, but your play on words is funny. Thanks, I needed that this morning.

[@jonathancox69]

Guys I am learning woodworking at *TopFineWoodworking. Com* I recommend this website all you guys who are beginner or advance in woodworking

[@codacreator6162]

Thank you for the tips! I won't know how valuable they are until I actually have a customer, but they look very valuable just from my current, limited viewpoint! Cheers!

[@ibubezi7685]

Good thinking - some sort of digital filing/orders-system - with photos (product-video) - so it can serve as a portfolio as well. Would be great if you then can share it online too (without any customer-details, obviously): either on your site or with a customized link (for prospective clients).

[@thomasarussellsr]

@@ibubezi7685 yeah, that works too. You can tie projects together into a portfolio that may have been done months or even years apart.

[@Maria-on8qo]

Decorating package, love it!!!! I just recently got laid off and I think this is a sign to start a small woodworking business. Thanks for the tips!

[@sentinel3444]

Really appreciate your channel. Living in Iowa and wanting to get back into woodworking again, and love seeing how you make things work as you grow. Keep up the great videos

[@KhaosTheory5000]

Good stuff! Thanks for posting. My wife and I are just now starting to get some bulk orders and your advice really helps!

[@jennieanddavis]

That's awesome! Great work

[@timothyford1534]

You guys are obviously on the right track. *PRO TIP Stop saying up-charge. When people hear the word 'charge' it tends to heighten their senses and make them weary do to the fight or flight response. Instead, use up-sale as the term when selling to or training people. The word sale makes people think they are getting a bargain or a deal. Using the prefix 'up' preloads people's subconscious to think 'more'. Resulting into the person subconsciously hearing; more bargain. When people think they are getting a bargain it lightens the mood. For them to think they are actually getting more of a deal causes their mood to elevate into an even better place and will be more apt to making the purchase. Training people to sell works similarly. The same kinds of reactions happen in the brain, only the person selling feels better about making the sale because of the similar sense that a deal is being given. Good luck with everything.

[@chriskennedy7321]

I agree. "Up-charge" is a different term which means to charge more for an item. A car dealer has a documentation fee, or "doc fee" which is an example of an up-charge. It's the act of charging more than the usual price, not a good long term strategy for a business. "Up-sell" is the term to use. Good salesmanship uses up-selling to add value to the customer's purchase, while also increasing the company's income. Good for the customer, and the business. I wanted to comment on the term "up-charge," so I was pleased to see that someone else had noticed the issue. I thought that it would be appropriate to leave the comment here. I also wanted to be clear that the correct phrase is "up-sell" not "up-sale," which likely means autocorrect has probably claimed another victim. I enjoy the channel, and I hope this comment is helpful.

[@cmhncraftsnmore7109]

I love that blanket ladder. My wife crochets blankets for resale and this would be a great way to display them at craft shows. I may even make a few extra so sell at the show as well. Great video.

[@catherinegrace2366]

Do it! Make the extra too!

[@KILO993]

Thanks so much! This was awesome. I've been considering a career change and realized that I already build so many cool carpentry projects...might as well start trying to sell them :)

[@anotherbsstreamingchannel9520]

Love the concept of your home based woodworking business venture. Spending quality time w/ your loved one in the shop, making $, is full of WIN! Wish U great success....very cool!

You guy's are an awesome team, thank you for being woodworking Rockstars!!

Bless Davis' heart for being so patient

I’ve built all of these except for the cutting board , probably the easiest pro-duct. Great tips for beginners! Guess I’m going to make myself a cutting board.

[@hughhauls5214]

AMAZING VIDEO GUYS! I wish we could’ve watched this years ago when we started making custom furniture!

[@mikebrown9625]

Just recently retired and want to make a bit of money with my hobby which happens to be woodworking and you two gave me great inspiration to push forward with some of my dreams and projects that I haven't time to do until now. Watched your video and instantly subscribed and will continue to follow your work. Thank you so much and good luck to both of you! Old-school woodworker and Cedar City Utah

[@leelayla6294]

Since I read *TopFineWoodworking. Com* , I think nothing will ever surpass it as an outstanding woodworking book. The book consists of attractive images as well as drawings and also reader-friendly text. I consider this book a "must have" since it supplies a broad range of information on just about everything working with woodworking and does it quite well.?

[@philgibbons7331]

I took something from the advice. Thanks for sharing, guys. Good luck.

[@jennieanddavis]

Thanks, Phil 😊

[@ZacJones]

Great tips guys! I really liked that tip from Bruce about the cutting boards would never have thought about business gifts like that. Also that ladder is awesome and something easy to make, store and not a pain in the ass to get home for the customer. 🙌🏼

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

I was able to retire at 50, and the first thing I did was build a woodworking shop. That was nine years ago and this fall I am adding on to the shop so I can have more assembly room. I've been woodworking since I was 10 when I fell in love with it in my grandfather's shop where he taught me most of what I know about the hobby. I make all kinds of things for friends and family, but it was only recently I thought about possibly sell my items. I love your channel and I just subscribed. Ironically, this is the first of your videos that I have watched! Talk about timing!! PS-Jenny do you have a sister who also has a youtube channel?

[@mulekickhandmadeguitars8465]

Woodworking is more of a hobby for me, but I run a music studio as my main source of income - what most people don't realize is that they need to learn the business aspects of what they do - customer follow up, sales etc. If they thought this in music school, more of my friends would have successful careers. Good job bringing these things to light.
