[@gregghernandez2714]

Hey Matthew! No need to ever apologize for the quality of your videos. It is your content that I come to your channel for, and I have never been disappointed. You are not just a woodworker of a very high quality, but you are also an artist who is able to see things that others can't. If your videos were grainy, and black and white, I would still watch them! BTW some of my favorite channels are by people who don't even speak English! They are woodworkers, who out of sheer necessity do some pretty amazing things, like make dowel makers out of an old, used circular saw blade or door hinges, or make a table saw out of an upside down circular saw. Something I would never do, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do to woodwork.

I’ve been a residential carpenter for over 20 years. This is exactly the type of thing I need to start doing! Great ideas! Thank you sir.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Heck yea!

[@graynard2011]

My husband and I ran across our first video on your channel. I was wowed with your tips and tricks and immediately subscribed. Honestly, I haven’t done any woodworking for too long and doubted my ability to get back into it. Your videos have reignited my passion for building. I’ve saved many of your videos already. From pure sincerity, thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge and the tips and tricks that are invaluable. Your genuine subtle humor is great. Work smarter not harder is perfect!

[@the-original-ghost]

I have a lot of respect for people who love what they do and are willing to teach others for free.Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks!

I am a woodwork as well. I have so much scrap and your videos have inspired me to be creative and make a lot of these things u make to sell on market place and my local town flea market. thanks for the inspiration ☺️

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@kathleen9812]

I do a woodworking business full time and often have found that the simple "pretties" sell the best. The ones that usually cost the least time and money to make. This is a great side hustle to have! Thanks for the stunning ideas!!!

[@dj2_cards]

"I'm a hillbilly...whatever!" Gotta respect that. Excellent work and thank you for sharing all of your great ideas my friend.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Lol. It is what it is man. Thanks and now worries!

I've been a professional wood worker for forty years , low end stuff to high end including super yacht interiors . been wanting to retire but still need to make money so this looks very interesting to me.

A neighbor linked me your channel and wow 🤩. I am pumped about these simple garden items. With spring about two and half months away here in central Cali, where I live people GARDEN!! So informative and generous of you to share with us. Thank you!!

Welcome! And tell your neighbor thanks for me! Glad you enjoy the content.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Anytime! Glad you are on the mend.

[@Americadodgedabullet]

Ive been watching a lot of your vids, i was diagnosed with ms a couple years ago it has come with some disabilities that put me out of work, your vids on making smalls has made me feel like i can start doing something useful again so thank you

[@joannasarcamedes8191]

I'm so glad I found this channel....I love recycling and I wanted to make things in my garage for extra money without having to selling new junk on ????.....and I'm really glad you confirmed that there is enough customer base in one's own town.

[@RickHenderson]

I started learning wood carving over Christmas and this would make such a great addition.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Absolutely! I'm going to do some videos on wood carving soon.

[@victorscasas1193]

Not only do you inspire me in my woodworking you actually give me a hunger to do it. Thank you for your videos.

Matthew, current woodshop teacher here, I love what you do and I love the way you explain things. Gonna have kids making a lot of your projects, THANKS dude!!!!!!

Thank you for making all these videos! Carpentry work runs deep in my family. My generation is the first that doesn't have a carpenter, instead I work with metal. These videos made me setup a shop, and order some supplies to start trying my hand at wood working. My dads face kind of lit up when I told him why he was coming over to help me set up a shop. Hopefully I can actually make these things look that good haha

Dude, you rock! Just found you (not that you were lost), and I am blown away at your talent and willingness to share said talent with us mere mortals. I will be a subscriber for the rest of my life.

[@Kirbykfed89]

I love how this wasn't your typical, "make cutting boards, or boxes, or a bench"! This was unique stuff that are entry-mid level difficult that look 'tough to make'

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Yep! Thats what sells and how you make money!

[@rickyfargason8859]

Than you for much for the inspiration! I'm a kitchen designer with a long history of cabinetmaking. I've been trying to think of how to make extra money on the side using my woodworking skills. I'm amazed by what you can make with just a little wood, bought or found free. The truth is you don't need a lot of tools to get started. I have the basic tools, miter saw, drills, skill saw. I have lots of hand tools, some are bombproof antiques. Your advice about starting with Smalls is genius. I always believed I needed to make big pieces to sell, not so. Smalls are A LOT more profitable and time saving. It's all about cost vs profit. Make jigs to turn the work into a quick and easy task. People have no idea how powerful a jig is in a shop when building stuff. In the cabinet shop I work in we had a huge wall of nothing but jigs. Like you I do eventually need to get a bandsaw. It cuts a fine kerf wasting very little wood, and you can split boards and cut veneer pieces to maximize your wood usage. A joiner is okay, but not necessary especially since I have lots of long hand planes that can do the job of joining boards. Again, thank you so much for inspiring me to get off my butt and start making stuff to sell.

Being european and seeing 2/5 projects are with guns is just a real culture shock hahahah. NO HATE. I love your projects and you being so open about it. Keep up the good work! Thank you for the video

[@frankjames2880]

Lol ! It's irresponsible over here to not have a gun... see multiculturalism.

[@noelv1976]

I mean, Europeans are allowed to have guns too, well most of them anyway. But you can build these and sell them to farmers or advertise it to gun club members.

[@tinindian7816]

You are a creative, top notch woodworker, (no pun intended), and instructor!

[@rc10street]

I made one of those distressed beams for myself with a terrible table saw and mitre saw. I have upgraded my tools and bet I could crank a few of these out.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Heck yea

[@Joey.Darkwoods-Studio]

This is something I want to get into... I always loved woodworking DIY stuff around the house. Nothing major, but little things. My fear is thinking "I'm not good enough versus everything else I see out there, how could I make it work out!".

Just “discovered” you a few days ago so hopefully that means KZbin is shining a light on you as you definitely deserve more subscribers. Been catching up on your videos and hope to see more in the future. Quick question: have you ever been tempted to make money from woodworking full time and if not…why not? Since your products have so much interest just wondering about your decision either way. Cheers brother.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Hey my man! Thanks for watching and the comment! And the answer to your question... yes I have. But that would mean that I would have to get into custom orders. I have tons of requests every day for customs but... I cant stand doing custom work. That takes the fun out of it for me. I like the freedom to do a build and move on when Im tired of doing it. Yea Im odd that way lol.

[@vickichenier8917]

Tip … I think in my Handy Man magazine about 20 years ago I got a tip. Write the length of the board you’re saving on the end of it. I have tons of lumber that I either had left over or ran across too good of a deal, that I got a bunch. I have a big lumber rack that holds my lumber. It’s 15’ x 5’ and it’s full. I don’t know how many times I needed a board such and such ft or inches long. It was so nice to just pluck it off my rack. It’s easy to see it’s thickness and width,but the length….?? If you use up your scraps and only about ten boards, I’m sure it wouldn’t matter, but I have at least a hundred boards.
