Never stop doing this series Matt. Many of us depend on this series for our livelihood. Very much appreciated ❤

Do you sell any projects? If so where do you sell them?? Just getting into this hobby and curious best places to get traffic

[@alexreid4131]

@@thezipper100 not sure that I am doing the best practice for selling but I rely on Facebook Marketplace, Offer Up and our church (word of mouth). I’m sure if I went into Etsy I’d do better but the shipping thing confuses me and seems daunting. I should probably look into that though.

Matthew Peech: Woodworking and Life Coach!!

[@EngraBlast.]

First a disclosure. I rarely ever leave a comment on anyone's videos unless it is above and beyond. I save, like, and share to support them. I must comment on you sir. You are one of the best providers, content creators, and all-around good person with what you GIVE to the world. You create more than just videos; you create purpose and motivation. I didn't see the Patrion link to support you, but I will find it! I will be starting off small and with each step I take with sales I will increase the percentage to you for getting me started. I'm posting it here so I can be held accountable for it. Take care and best wishes to you and all that share!

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

The last one is a touch of genius... it opens the door to all types of items. Myself, I like your Christmas trees... but I'm thinking of making them desktop size for office desks 🙂

[@scottbyrd2157]

Matthew, I appreciate you very much! You continue to demonstrate that your channel is about wood working and making things. You are an excellent teacher and inspire others to grow. Tool reviews are awesome, and i feel you mix everything just right with the content. Just a occasional build is what people are looking for. Thanks for what you do!!!

[@barbblack7825]

Thank you for your time. You are appreciated!

[@tinistips]

GREAT ideas! Loved the rustic Christmas tree so much that I immediately ran out to Home Depot, picked up a few fence boards and got to building. Did notice a slight discrepancy on the measurements that I wanted to share. The bottom left branch should measure 10.25" with a corresponding counterpart of 7.75". From there you deduct 1/2" as you move your way up on each side.

[@tatorr1980]

Thanks for this. I was just coming to post the same thing.

[@everybody_hobby]

I finally got the time to build this and have been sitting in my shop for the last 2 hour trying to figure out where i went wrong. lol Even watched the video several times thinking I misunderstood what was said. Thanks for confirming this. Now I feel better. lol

[@steelsunpi]

On the boot rack: I live in Texas, which is cowboy boot and work boot central. The ones I used to make that did well seemed to sell better with rectangular uprights. I used a 2x4 that was ripped into roughly 1 1/2 x 2 1/4 strips, that I rounded the edges over with a 1/4 round over or camfer bit. The bigger support seems to hold the boots better, and gave the appearance of better stability and sturdiness.

[@steelsunpi]

Also it's easier to assemble with 2 screws and glue per upright.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Good suggestion!

[@JamesSmullins]

I was thinking along similar lines, but then I live in Texas as well so maybe it's just a Texas thing. 😊

Ha the boot storage thing I’ve had on my wall for years I just put the rods at 45 angles and mounted it on my wall. Keeps the dogs from messing with my boots.

[@debtfreeis4me2]

Matthew speaking of those sweet lil Christmas trees you made you could also offer to drill some holes to push in some mini lights attached to a battery pack this would have a lighted tree… really sharp looking… can do this with a snowman shape as well and mark out a design for them to paint.

[@LeeRamsunder]

Love your presentation, your style,your motivation, your attitude, you just a cool dude,you really inspired me in SOUTH AFRICA. thanks buddy.

[@MoyockScorpion]

Gotta say I did the spinning Christmas trees last year and sold a bunch. In the middle of them now as I have 3 times the orders. I bought your plans to support you and the channel as well. Next will be the planter boxes. Thanks and keep doing what you do sir.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you. Keep up the good work!

[@CharlesJohnston-o6r]

Thank you for the amazing videos you do and all the helpful tips and tricks

[@adambeck8180]

If you carved or burnt the word "Boots" on the 2x10 near the front of that boot rack, I bet it would sell way better. Also if you have a lathe, carve some grooves in the dowels, and add some kind of small knobs on the ends of them. You could do a vintage look like that rhinestone vintage cowgirl style or a vintage cowboy look.

[@cuervojones4889]

Matt, I had my second craft show yesterday where I sold some Halloween smalls we've been discussing on Discord. It was pouring rain, but I made over $200! I couldn't believe it! It was enough money that I could go buy more wood to start making some of your snowflakes for a Christmas show I have in three weeks. If *I* can do it, ANYONE can do it!

[@peterk7428]

For that boot storage I'd put 2 rings on the end to hold umbrellas.

Thank you, Matthew. I had to stop the video to write down the idea for the boot rack. It's such a simple design, and with my twist, it should sell quickly. You and your content are inspiring and educational. I really like the mix of woodworking and tools.

[@tomfafard2024]

I love watching you Matthew. You always share amazing products and techniques. Plus add the most important things...like "you can do this"!

[@theovanni]

Love all the ideas, and with that last one you can get a lot of mileage from the material as well. By using the interior cut outs from the edge cut you can make a whole other "chopping board" albeit at a smaller size, maybe market it as a cheese chopping board! lol Maybe nesting chopping boards! Really appreciate all the ideas you give us to try out!

[@justdigginit1331]

Your last statement is the most important great stuff

[@swishair]

As always, this is another great video and ideas for smalls. I love your motivational talk as well. Please keep up the excellent work Matt.

[@davidward1259]

A free mod that might make the tree look better would be to make a true herringbone design. Just flip the long board - long on left, next long on right, next long on left, etc.... So it's no extra cost, and would then be more symmetrical. Not complaining, just a mod. Also the "chopping block" screams for a pattern and router with pattern bit to crank them out one after the other. Thanks for another great video!

Hey Matt I've been really enjoying your vids! Totally been making stuff as gifts...everyone loves them. Thanks for the breakdown on ideas.

[@orbitalair2103]

Im pretty sure you need a $5000 table saw for most wood projects. At least if you watch most utubers. I went the Rex Krueger, cheap hand tools way. Does it take longer, yes, but its more theraputic, and interesting. I learned a lot about how our ancestors made useful, long lasting things. My daughter will love the bookshelves.

[@JayWhite-jr3sg]

I am retired and only making thing for myself and as gifts. Love to watch your programs. Is there plans for the small swing to hold small flowers? I can’t seem to find it.

[@SalmonKing52]

I love watching this series! And although I think I could sell most of the items you present in every video I live in a strictly military community that is well…frugal would be puting it mildly. For instance! items like that modern bookshelf I be lucky to get $30 for it. I tried making and selling the smalls when you first started the series. Selling the items at our local farmers market. By the end of the season May-Sept (Memorial Day - Labor Day) I realized a profit of only $250. I’m not saying your smalls won’t sell…just that they don’t sell in my area for anywhere near where I could make this even a part time gig. For me…I’m still looking for those 1 or 2 items that I can sell a lot of (and not just in the summer months). All that said Matthew…please keep these videos coming because one day you’re gonna stumble upon the items I’m looking for!

[@tinistips]

Jeff, how did you join/assemble the branches? Matthew mentioned brad nails and glue, but I had trouble making the butt joints with my brad nailer because of the angles. I ended up driving the nails from front to back (through the branches) into the support stake, but even then there is very limited space. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Lately I’ve started to think I can sell some of these things and set aside some cash to buy some cool tools I would like to have, or maybe pay for a drink or two on my next beach vacation. Both are about the same cost! 😮. 😅. Thanks for doing these.

If you build that book shelf from the top down. It’ll be easier to access the screw points.

[@jelias9247]

Just an FYI for the trees, they actually left off the bottom branches and shortened up the trunk and the stand I believe. 😊

[@TheWendyJohnson]

I think the PB version just has a bit more space between each piece of wood.

[@Tommy.461]

On the book shelf the back could be two pieces with a space between. That would look good too if you were using solid wood and staining it.
