Pickle.....the grass stuff is Raffia.....Great way to start my Sunday morning....Thank you

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

That’s it! Thank you.

[@TNBushcrafter]

Had to hunt some raffia down the other day. Walmart and hobby lobby dont keep it in stock anymore.

[@joekrouse8625]

​@@TNBushcrafteryou might have to go online. I got the last pack at Michaels and they said they can't keep it in stock.

[@TNBushcrafter]

​@@joekrouse8625yeah a lot easier online. We dont have a Michael's unless I drive about 80 miles almost to Nashville. Oh and dollar tree had none either. I know they USED to have it.

Pickle Finial = fin (like on a fish) + knee + uhl (like hull of a boat) 😊 the "apple" looks like a candle to me, the stem is the flame

Pickle. A cup of coffee and a Mathew Peech video, what a great way to start the day, Thanks for all you do man

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

My pleasure! Thank you for supporting.

[@katiebryant7920]

PICKLE! Please keep making these videos. I love them so much. My daughter's father in law and I make a lot of the things you make. Every time one of your videos goes out, whatever you made shows up at her house, courtesy of her dad in law. I love it.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

That is awesome!

[@Stryker25B]

Pickle! Spent yesterday building the first workbench for the hybrid system, then while I recovered from all of that, I started watching some of the smalls that sell videos. I don't have any fence pickets, but I do have a ton of red cedar board I picked up for around $2.50 per 8-foot board from the sawmill in Irvington! Looking forward to starting to do something new with the small garage workshop that my wife questions the expense of (until she wants a new birdhouse, or cedar planters, or a new coffee table top. etc)

[@kellyblodgett3214]

Pickle..some great ideas every week this series is amazing. Do you notice other woodworkers now are doing the same thing? Thanks for the great ideas and this weeks episode is spot on with the Fall ideas. I like that you explain an easy to understand way of doing these things. Peace ✌

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@inkpearls3364]

Pickle! Stumbled across your channel a couple weeks ago & love your videos! I said, I can do this! Went & dropped $400 on tools & supplies including pickets & another $180 on materials to build a work table yesterday. Building the table today & then we are gonna get busy building some of your ideas so we can get some money coming in. I work full time but hubby has had trouble finding work so hopefully this works out! He will cut & build & after I get off of work at 1pm (I work split shift from home online & have off 1pm to 7pm) I will do the painting, staining, stenciling, decorating, & marketing! Fingers crossed we are successful bc damn its hard out in this economy! We have kids to feed!

[@gussiegus4943]

@inkpearls3364 Love your can-do attitude! Best of luck to the two of you!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Best of luck to you all! You got this.

[@damonyeary]

Best of luch too you! You can do this

[@wordswritteninred7171]

Good luck to you! Times are expensive! I have done great. Just one tip. If something isn't selling, doesn't mean something else won't. Take a look around your area. What's already being offered? I use to sell a ton of fan trellises. Now, I can't give them away. Too many people selling them. But obelisks? Seems I am the only person making those. Child picnic tables, always a great seller. And so quick to make! Keep offering different items. Don't make a ton of an item until you know it will sell. I am stuck with some things. That became gifts.lol I hope you have great success...and fun!

[@brendaS1533]

I seriously read what you wrote as buying "tools and supplies including PICKLES" 😂😂😂 Damn you, Matthew, now that is stuck in my head!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@JohnDoe-t7g3p]

Pickle....great job on these videos. Keep up the great work.

[@MrDmorgan52]

Pickel I am so glad you showed the porch board I just made my first one and was afraid that I over priced it! Mine was 1'x 6' but I used 1x4 cypress. I charged $125 & She was happy. I'll advertise them now!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Nice!

[@sonyaburggraf6401]

Pickle! The Pumpkin stems could also be spindles, from old chairs! Cheap and can make a lot of stems! I like all the ideas today!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Great idea!!

[@yomo812]

Pickle!!! The red "apple" lantern kinda reminded me of a candle, and could be part of a Christmas display. Love what you do!! - except now you have added something ELSE to my inner monologue of "I can do that myself"! 🎉

[@DeniseMartin-u8z]

Pickle. I can’t wait to give some of these a try. I have a lot of scrap 1x4s that are primed white. So I am going to use these instead of fence pickets. Thanks for the ideas.

[@BuildwithMooney]

Peech you always bring it brother and just a BIG shout out to you for bringing a new take on woodworking. I've been doing this a long time about 41 years to be exact and you definitely have a creative spin that is pretty inspiring to the young woodworker out there. What makes this even better is that you got a late start with your woodworking journey. PEECH for President! 🇺🇸 💪🍑 Keep on keeping on!

[@relaxedlegsyndrome4883]

Pickle! Thanks for making these videos! I can see how they’re a HUGE help for folks (like me) who have no idea what is popular or what sells. After retiring from the military. I took a fine woodworking approach to the craft, and sales are few and far between. However, after watching some of these videos, I realized that my fiancé probably knows what she’s talking about when she tells me to make decorative gimmicky things. Why? Because they actually sell! 😂 I’ll be looking around at what is trending more often now, and making some simple projects at a lower cost, in order to come out ahead on craft fairs, festivals, and whatever else I decide to do.

[@unlistedunlisted3108]

For the tea lights I like to use a forstner bit to set the lights in.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Oh yea.

[@WendellHarrison-q9c]

Peech, have watched you off and on for probably a year and a half, you give so much to us all in regards to ideas and techniques- thank you. Here’s an ideal you might want to consider. I made large pot spoons last fall at $20 a spoon, sold 112 between thanksgiving and December 20th just by word of mouth, no social media advertising. Most were made from wormy maple, light and dark colors. Some were made from cherry and black walnut. I can send pictures if interested. I used a Foredom to scoop out wood, not necessary but much easier. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, much appreciated.

[@jaredpullis2430]

Are the pine fence boards treated? Thanks for all the videos full of information and inspiration! ​@MatthewPeechWoodworking

[@baldtiger1970]

@@dollyfan9631 I was just going to ask the same question

[@christophermoorhead5827]

Agree. I even pick up the odd fence picket left in the 70% off pile. They are always cracked and damaged but I think there is always some part of it that I can use.

[@tylergage5719]

PICKLE... I'm so addicted and inspired with your videos! I have decided that I want to start woodworking, unfortunately I haven't started yet, but I just purchased a router table. I have a sliding compound miter saw that I've used a few summers ago, because I built a gate for my back deck, which I'll need to build again because its falling apart... and a table saw that I've never used that was given to me by my step dad. I have a garage but up here in Central NY it is November and cold, so unless I buy a woodstove for my garage I won't be out there. Fingers crossed I get a woodstove soon! Thank you for making these videos I have a bad habit of watching you while I'm at work. Keep these videos coming brother!

[@pattysimeone181]

Pickle…I would use rusty wire for your curly ques on the pumpkins. I look forward to your videos every week…Thx!!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Great idea!! Thank you.

[@LetstalkJesus76]

I knew you looked familiar. I live in Lexington but i used to work for ADT and have been all over the state. Absolutely love your videos and the table from a few videos back is an excellent idea now i just need a shop to build one for. Keep up the awesome work neighbor.

[@ginasmith3670]

I had gotten some old wood chairs for free & took them apart & I use the decorative legs & spindles for other projects. I usually cut them down to whatever size I need for the project. The possibilities are endless & you can always find them for free cause most people throw them away. 😬

[@BruceWayne-oz6lr]

PICKLE!!!!!! I love watching your videos for the first time. Whenever your describing something you have seen and that you want to create you give your input on what you see and what you will do and use. I find myself talking out loud and say "Picket fence" or "Pallet wood" and then you suddenly say the same thing. It makes me know that I am on the right track when I create stuff. Then I take your ideas and tricks and, like you teach us, "add your own twist" to it.😉 The Wingman

[@davidkendrick3158]

Pickle! Dang it, Peech! The problem I’m having is that you’re so popular in my area that the market gets flooded with every one of the projects that you show in your videos within about 48 hours of you releasing a new episode!! Why did you have to be so good at making things so achievable?!??!!!😂😂😂. Congrats on your channel success - I can definitely say you’ve got my area watching!!!

[@dtiger1138]

Pickle - I make little wood block pumpkins. Paint black then orange, and sand to distress. I use painters tape and my laser to do a stencil on each one for a jack-o-lantern face. spray that on one side. now one side is a jack-o-lantern, the other a pumpkin for after Halloween. and a small dowel for the stem i stain a muted green. great to do with scrap, wood blocks from pallets, or scrap pieces from the furniture factory next door. feel guilty using oak or ash spindles for stuff like this, but it was free.

[@jkimrey]

Pickle! I'm loving the Smalls That Sell series! And have lots of palette wood that am planning on using for smalls. The pronunciation for finial, the decorative knobs that are on the top of the "Rustic Cream Wood Slat Set," is "FIN - ee - all." I'm not a grammar cop, I'm an English language enthusiast 😉
