7 More Woodworking Projects That Sell - Make Money Woodworking (Episode 28)

[@MarcusRefusius]

I’m 68 disabled. Covid tried real hard to do me in. I’m currently learning to build cabinets and also learning to carve and whittle. We live just outside Sequoia National Park and people are going crazy over my whittled Bears, Owls, and Sasquatches……Sasquatchi? I can’t whittle ‘em fast enough. Cheers. NEVER give up.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Nice! Keep it up!

[@tabletclassact4783]

Greetings. I just wanted to share a little story. I'm a recovering drug addict from South Africa Mpumalanga. I have been clean for about three years after 12 years heavy heroin, weed & rock(some form of cocaine) addiction. Last year September I was given an opportunity by an NPO and a mine company sponsorship to go study carpentry in the East Rand. I did construction carpentry but I felt I had learnt so little. Fast forward to five months later I've been back home. I've been pretty much depressed considering I have no capital for the expensive power tools and honestly watching all the fancy workshops didn't really help much. I recently came across your channel and I just wanted to thank you for all the guidance. I look forward to starting my workshop from ground up. I am definitely subscribing and watching all your videos for inspiration. Thank you

[@brendenlangley6027]

After a really rough couple days mentally at the end of this dreaded Canadian winter, I needed that "preaching". Being a veteran struggling with PTSD, finding positivity in this world today is getting very difficult. I've been following your channel for well over a year. I'm constantly feeling defeated with even just the basics of woodworking, but the way you present your videos, constantly telling your viewers how easy alot of these projects are, and preaching that YOU believe in US, is keeping me from quitting. In closing, I just want to say THANK YOU for being a positive light in this negative headspace I live in. Please keep the stories, and motivation coming!! God Bless you and yours Sir! Signed, An appreciative Canadian Armed Forces Veteran

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you for sharing your story so that people can see the struggles that others face as well. I’m glad you keep at it. You really CAN do it. Keep it up!

[@Andrea-bw8xm]

Hi there...I really like all of Mathew' s content and encouragement. May I suggest to you that you check out Rob Cosman on KZbin. He is an amazing woodworker but more than that he's got the heart of a lion! He runs a program for Vets. He and other vets started this a few years ago. It's called the PHP or Purple Heart Project. It is specifically for teaching hand tool woodworking to vets who have suffered combat issues, be they physical or mental. Please take a look at what the Cosman team offers. I think you will be pleased. By the way...he is in New Brunswick, Canada!! And he loves hockey!!😊 I wish you all the best and thank you for your service!

My daughter made dice a few years ago for Christmas gifts. We added dry erase boards with similar to a Yahtzee scoring pad with permanent marker, and included a pack of dry erase markers with each set of dice. They were a big hit with the family.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

That's a great idea!

[@pauljoeckel4814]

That story on the blind wood worker rocked. Just what I needed today. I’m very new at woodworking and I was struggling with a simple project today and was very frustrated. I just need to slow down and count my blessings.

[@shoans3897]

Woman crafter here and I have always wanted to make things and in past few years I’ve been using the hubby’s shop to cut wood etc for my crafts. I love your videos, I have made several of your items for personal use and I plan on trying to sell some to cover my creative costs. Thanks for making me believe that I can! 💜

[@su-mu]

24:34 Mr. Peech, I never miss your 'projects that sell.' The moment I see one, I already know how to make one. But, sometimes, I have no idea as a newbie woodworker (transitioning from hobby to business ); your lessons come in very handy. The prices they sell them at are outrageous, most of the times.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks for watching!

[@handleitcorral5646]

My wife and I was making squirrel tables the other day and she's like "we could make these condiment holders!". We will be laser engraving them as well. Thanks for the videos and the encouragement, keep it up. Never stop and never retreat, you can advance in a different direction.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I like her creativity! Thanks for watching!

[@bcollins7007]

Time for a new merch shirt or hat. "No more excuses - Be Like Paul" It would make a great conversation starter and topic. (Of course a portion of the profits go to Paul to help create the perfect work flow shop.....)

[@jtcmlt1]

@MatthewPeechWoodworking, that was an amazing story of who to me is a living legend. I can not even imagine a blind person around the shop. Also, your work is always impeccable. Have a happy Sunday.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you. Paul is a great inspiration!

[@byronjolly4452]

For a long time now you've been my inspiration. Last week I made enough on garden boxes to buy a new DeWalt table saw . I appreciate your preaching. It keeps me going.

[@LLCNet21]

My dad and built them exact tables 40 years ago. It started by me trying to build a small picnic table and turned in to almost that exact table you have. It was amazing how fast them things sold then. We sold them with ketchup and mustards bottles with salt and pepper shakers.

[@jaysaquatics7195]

hi everyone ,wow that story about Paul has blown my mind what an inspiration ,I'm an ex heroin addict 12 month clean now and that's when my woodworking journey began and hearing story's like Paul's just encourages me to stay clean and to try harder so thankyou for sharing Paul's story and for all your video's i watch them all the time infact my first ever project was the concealment mirror there was mistakes but that's how you learn in it so once again thankyou to you and Paul .

[@tomstone2322]

Paul is truly an inspiration!!

[@ATONAL6173]

Shoot man, I have probably dipped from a 100% click through to maybe 85, save for later, or scroll and come back to it for your content in recent months, but I'll tell you, your piece to camera about inspiration, hardship, and mindset had me glued and inspired. Thank God. And you're probably not surprised, it's in an area nowhere near my woodworking...I am a middle school band and orchestra teacher and I struggle to stay fed in my battle against a ridiculous workload and expectations and your words didn't fix anything or change anything, but they made me feel better. And this picnic table idea... Genius! I bet we'll see that at the farmer's markets in droves! Thanks for the pep talk and more great ideas!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I hope those words help a lot of people. I appreciate you! Thanks for the support.

[@Majesticmountainarts]

It is an amazing narrative of Paul and his feat of not allowing anything as such to stop one from doing what you wish to do in life or accomplish. Such an inspiration to all that one should never set limitations! Truly an amazing man no doubt. This is one of many reasons why we continue to follow this channel, you and its members. As always brother, we appreciate cha and all you offer. Sending a Sunday blessing to all!

Thank you for this video. I saw a condiment picnic table a year ago and kept stumbling on figuring out how to make it. These, along with the great idea of a paper towel dispenser will be great additions to my repertoire. I am in Maryland crab country and and the towel dispenser will definitely be popular!

[@kevinmartin8019]

I gotta say that i really appreciate these videos you're doing. I retired from the Marine Corps after 12 years and went through a pretty bad rough spot, but woodworking helped keep me busy and kept me going. There are alot of people making very good videos, but your and 731 woodworks videos have stood out. I recently made a set of patio chairs from his design and just got these plans and the concealment table plans. Keep up the amazing work and videos 👊

I was diagnosed over 4 years ago. I am a beginner in woodworking. Sometimes it is hard to get out in my garage shop. My skill level is pretty low. But I have made some nice cutting boards and a few other things. I watch your channel and it is one of the best ones out there Thank you again Matthew.

[@miltonbayne6649]

Thank you Matthew, the preaching actually helped. Also, thanks again for pointing out great money makers for ANYONE to do but adding your own imagination to the equation and revealing an instant money maker of your own!

[@njoysuccessnow]

1:08 This is something I needed to hear for more reasons than one. That is amazing. It made me realize that there are many different levels of determination. Wow!

[@theredmuckduck]

I made my first bit of good money with woodworking with the squirrel feeder, a scaled up version of the designer planter with the 45s at the top, and a live edge table. I also started the carnivore diet, lost 17 pounds and been reading a Bible verse every day. Life may be harder for everyone recently, but it can still be good. Intention, attention to detail, expectation of outcome, and prayer. Thanks for the inspirational messages, Matt. WE CAN ALL DO IT!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Yes we can! Thank you!!

[@georgemejia4179]

You’re just preaching to love thy neighbor! So keep preaching peech cause you have motivated me to just do it. Even though I haven’t yet but I’m almost there! Haha God bless you brother.

[@stevenmckenzie8003]

Love you videos and your encouragement .On dice, pips are small dots on each face of a die. These pips are typically arranged in patterns denoting the numbers one through n, where n is the number of faces. For the common six-sided die, the sum of the pips on opposing faces traditionally adds up to seven

[@stevesoles9553]

Never stop preaching for us to push ourselves and to try new things instead of letting us think we can't do it. Also, you go Paul! I can't speak for everyone, but your story has definitely inspired me!

[@louislandi938]

Matthew, If I was forced to choose only once woodworking channel it would only take me a second to choose your channel! You’d win for numerous reasons. I’m looking forward to an interesting year creating things and all because of you!

[@CreativeCustomDesigns]

Keep preaching your motivational speeches Matthew. They are GREAT. I'm going to make the condiment and towel table for our own use and see what feedback we get. THANKS for this weeks and ALL your videos......They DO keep us inspired.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@Bionicjoe]

Pro tip for making dice. The PIPS (not dots) on opposite sides add up to 7. The 1 is opposite the 6, 2 vs 5, 3 vs 4. This is true for any die. A 20-sided die adds up to 21.

[@catherinerankin7544]

As the person who also changes the paper towel rolls, I made these adjustments. I added a slat on the bottom of the legs to lift the table another 1/2" to better fill all but the mega size rolls. For the roll bar, 1 drilled a 3/8" hole 3/4" from the end. I then created a slot with my band saw. This makes it easier to change the roll without fiddling around to fit the hole. Also, after loosening both nut, the roll can be changed with the removal of only one nut. Thank you for your videos.

[@ravensrest3895]

Blind woodworker! Epic, mans a legend! Goes to prove that if he can do it, anyone can do it! Another inspiration

Matthew, I want to let you know that I really appreciate your shares. I'm getting nearer to retirement and want to work in my shop and make things that people like and can use. Not only do you create some really cool projects, but you're very positive in your presentation. Good man! Thanks very much!

Way to go Paul! And thank you Matthew for bringing this to the light

[@jrogers24733]

I found your channel a while back when looking for a hidden gun rack and your coat rack came up. Been a fan and subscriber since then. I stay because of your genuine honesty, skills, projects and because as you said your preachy. I can't tell you how many projects I have done with your channel playing in the background. Glad your on the internet and not VHS as I would have worn out the replay button by now. Even my wife started watching you and she doesn't even do woodworking she just likes your easy flow and basically after watching she let's me know what my new project will be. Don't change anything. Thank you

Thanks Mathew, another great tutorial and build !!! I always feel like I learn something from your videos and enjoy attempting them in my own shop. Shout out to Paul, you sir are a bad a$$ !!!

[@vaughnm90]

Never stop preaching brother. It's refreshing and inspiring to hear someone's story of overcoming adversity. My 1 year old son was born missing his left hand and forearm so Its been in the back of my mind thinking about how I could possibly teach him woodworking in the future. That being said, the story you shared has shined a proverbial flashlight down a dark hallway for me. Keep up the good work!

[@richardmccann4815]

For the dice, a piece of round steel stock could be heated with a torch, and spinning in a drill press would make the familiar indentation. It would take a bit of practice , but with a simple fence it would make easy accurate dots!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I like your idea.

[@joelmorgan2392]

Matthew A big shout out to all you and your Family does for the Woodworking Community....Grats on hitting 500k subs on youtube

[@paulswoodshop395]

Matthew, I like this this story about Paul. It made me think back to when I had a sawmill and sold walnut and cherry to woodworkers. I had a client that came to my place with his girl friend. She drove because he was blind. The next time he needed lumber I told him I would deliver it. When I got there he was hanging drywall in a stair well. I ask him how he could measure to know what to cut. He had a talking tape measure. He showed me some of the things he had built with the previous lumber he purchased. His builds were quite impressive.

[@justaguyonthefly]

Really like the condiment table mainly because I already have one! My parents had it since I was a kid, so 40ish years. Love the paper towel table. That is pure Genius! A person could make both of them a little bigger to add holes for Mayo, Hot Sauce, Salad Dressings etc or for the extra large paper towel rolls. Great video!

[@alexnoone8133]

[@sflagg0817]

Another comment on a great video, regarding the yard die if you are into detail make sure opposite sides of die add up to 7 on all sides, also if I remember correctly you can make a template with a cutoff from a 4x4 it should be 2 outside rows of 3 then the center that should work, thanks for sharing your videos with us

[@RobertSmith-nh6ef]

You could also take a spring-loaded toilet paper holder separate the two pieces put a dowel rod between them and make a spring-loaded holder for the paper towel roll that you made so that way it would be easier to get in and out to replace the roll

[@bryanhudson8087]

I don't have all the comprehensive woodshop equipment, but I do have a small bandsaw and a belt sander, I do however work in engineering so drew my little table plan up a plan then constructed the table...awesome that you show your skills step by step...thank you.

[@scottbyrd2157]

Mathew! I love your channel! You really stick with woodworking and have a passion for it. I can’t express how much I appreciate your videos and that you don’t stray away from it and always talk about tool reviews. I don’t mind a few here and there. I like that you motivate people. You should really think about seminars! lol. No just kidding! That would take you out of doing what you like. I also follow your other channel and hopefully see more videos on it. Stay passionate!

[@bryanmartin8336]

Love the paper towel holder, but I find myself visualizing the first person to pull a paper towel off ripping it just right that it doesn't pull the next piece through. By the third time that happens it's just going to be flipped over and won't look like a picnic table anymore. I feel like it might work better if there were just single slats on the edges rather than a whole tabletop, but I'd visualize it better if I actually made one. I should do that. Which is the whole point of this channel, so keep it up!

[@WomanUnfiltered]

It's not preaching, it's encouraging. I know as a single Mom of four, for many years, I had to overcome a lot of fears & self-doubt. I started collecting tools slowly & bought used because of a tight budget. I collected wood via pallets & "scraps" others were tossing. I did it initially to do repairs & build little things we needed in our home. I was scared of the saws at first & was very cautious when using them & still am cautious because I like my fingers attached to my hand. Lol Oddly enough tackling the jigsaw was my biggest fear. Then I felt kind of stupid once I did. 😂

[@kristendietz2022]

That tip on making your own live edge is revolutionary

[@kevindurica6092]

Its not preaching, its positive motivation. Wall art could also be used for fence art. Everybody has fences, but not to many know how to or what to decorate them with. Same product different purpose. Great video as always. Looking forward to your next one.

I've made and sold the condiment table before, made squirrel tables and cut holes in some of them.

[@chuckborden7]

I really like the mini picnic tables. I’m starting to make them myself and the only problem I’ve ran into is that the paper towel holder doesn’t fit a standard size roll fresh outta the wrapper (at least the costco ones) you would need to use a roll that’s about 25% gone already. I have started to make plans for a bigger table that would fit a full roll but I also like the two tables being basically the same size. Still pondering this, but otherwise I love the idea.

[@gunnytswoodworks816]

Hey, Matthew. Great channel! Well done and very informative. One thing I would like to mention out about the 4x4 tables: There is probably a good reason why the 4x4s used on the store-bought tables are made up of smaller pieces glued together. Solid 4x4s from the box stores will eventually warp, twist, and split after some time unless you take care to properly seal the wood. Even then it's just a matter of time. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for the wonderful content, Sir.
