Sales Slump? This Woodworking Project Generates Instant Sales

In this video, I'm going to show you a woodworking project that can help you generate instant sales when you're experiencing a sales slump. This project is simple, but effective, this is a perfect woodworking project for beginners, requiring no special tools! And for those who come to my channel for my CNC related content, I'll create two versions, one using simple woodworking techniques, and a CNC version using my Onefinity CNC.

A nice, clean, concise and well presented video, zero fluff, no overbearing music, no unnecessary filler content.. 👌 Oh, and the project is cool too

[@SothpawDesigns]

Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate it.

[@artsteadman2230]

@genelomas332 the idea is to have an item to sell

[@bobwallace5257]

I just made 3 of these in a simpler version! No cup holder just the 3 sided stand. My daughter and 2 grandkids loved them.

[@SothpawDesigns]

They're so simple. I never thought I'd like doing this so much.

[@rockspyder3970]

Brilliant! Will definitely be making some of these!

[@sarahsolty510]

I am definitely going to try making this! Thanks for sharing your idea!!

[@jross008470]

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you very much. It means a great deal to me.

[@LYTOMIZE_Woodshop]

This is great and has been on my to make list for a while. Thanks for posting a simple how to to make it even easier!! Merry Christmas!!!!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you! It was fun and simple, I recommend it highly.

[@janalovespaper]

This is such a unique and fantastic gift for those who still love turning pages in a book. Thanks for sharing!

[@SothpawDesigns]

You are so welcome! This wasn't my original idea, but I did put my own spin on it. Thanks for watching.

[@lenshandcraftedwoodsigns6033]

Great design, thank you for sharing.

[@alwilson-wu4xc]

Hey man, first time coming across your channel. I've never seen one of these but I liked it immediately, and thought "gee, I could use one of those". I've only just discovered woodworking and I really appreciate guys like you who take the time to walk through how it's made. This is a great project that is right at my speed. Definitely gunna try to make one this weekend man. Thanks again!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Welcome aboard! Appreciate that.

[@user-xt1ns5gm2d]

Great and simple idea. Keep up the good work!

[@prestoncox]

Beautiful simple project! And love your practical instruction. Thanks for getting right to the good stuff and being clear with how to build it

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you. Glad you like it.

[@aarong402]

Another great project!! I will definitely be making this one for my wife. Thank you for continuing to make great videos. Merry Christmas

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you and appreciate the support!

[@chrisdemeglio6707]

I've come across this video but passed it up a couple of times. I finally watched it and I am so glad I did. First off, I subscribed. Secondly, your explanation is excellent and you providing measurements and walking through, step by step how you make this is also a bonus. Yes it's simple but the most simple things can be the nicest and most profitable. I like the pricing structure and the free engraving. I have an X-Tool pro 40 w so that will make quick work of the engraving. Thanks again and good luck with your channel!!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Goad you enjoyed it. This is such a simple project, but one that's SO easy to make.

[@stephenmcgeown]

Very nice idea! I am looking forward to making these for my wife's book club members - they'd love it! And we're all at the age where we need to wear reading glasses so that little nook is perfect 🙂

[@SothpawDesigns]

Wonderful!

[@greatgrandpaswoodworking]

Outstanding idea. I make the basic triangle but this is my new project, Thank you.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks for the idea. I was thinking about different ways to engrave my poetry an this will be a awesome thing to do.

[@garycarlos9868]

I wish I could share. I made that same project, but added a bit more pizzazz to it. If only I could shoot you a picture. It would be nice to have someone who could appreciate what I made.

[@SothpawDesigns]

[e-mail] I'll share it out

[@erickjarquin2355]

Great idea 💡 Thank you for sharing your knowledge & wisdom!!!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Not so much knowledge and wisdom as it is trial and error, but I appreciate the compliment.

[@lordapophis93]

I like that it's got the built in coaster.

[@steponacracker3865]

Thanks for sharing this great idea. I wish I could come up with a new idea and it be that nice!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Can't say that I invented the concept. I saw something like it, then tried to tweak it a little to put my own spin on it.

[@AtomicProf]

This is the first video of yours I have seen. It is a great video, and good project. Keep it up.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks.

[@dereksmith2910]

[@jaredpullis2430]

This looks like a nice beginner project. Going to try this out for my wifes birthday coming up in January. Have the XTool D1 Pro 10w for the customization. Just found your channel like morning and hit the subscribe button.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Appreciate that. This video is quickly becoming one of my most popular, which is great, because this is the type of content that I like to make. The success of this video just shows me that I can focus on projects like this and be successful. So keep a look out for new content like this.

[@williambeattie8529]

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you very much!

[@paula.the.wannabe.hauler]

Love this 👍

[@tomthumb3085]

Probably the best and easiest of life hacks I’ve ever seen. Simple but extremely useful. Thanks for sharing this, I’m going out to get some nice hardwood now and there’s no prize for guessing what my friends will be getting for their birthday gifts. Brilliant.

[@SothpawDesigns]

That's awesome. I appreciate that. I didn't invent the idea, but put my own spin on it. I'm glad it's so useful for you.

[@dangilmore5326]

That is an awesome project! Thanks!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Glad you like it!

[@readplanet23]

Thank You for the simple but very handy accessory idea. The examples you provided look great. Keep up the good videos. Have A Productive Day! 🛻🚚🚛

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks, you too!

[@Griffinwoodworks]

I made a prototype of one out of scraps the other day, and decided it looked good enough to practice my finishing on. Much like your experience, I posted it on my personal Facebook page and someone wanted the prototype within a hour of posting, and I had a couple of orders within a few hours, just among my friends, not on my business page. I was totally surprised by the interest on it just within a few hours. Now here I am looking for inspiration and add ons I haven’t thought of and hear the exact same thing I experienced just earlier today lol.

[@SothpawDesigns]

It’s funny because I hate the cliche thumbnails “why isn’t everyone making these” but just like you said, as soon as I made it, people started wanting it. I’m actually working on a new Video with some upgrades, like a lip to hold a tablet, a place to mount a pen or highlighter, a page spreader, and an actual drawer that goes inside of the triangle.

[@Griffinwoodworks]

@@SothpawDesigns I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I thought of maybe adding an eye hook or small dowel from the top of the front to hang a pair of readers, and I also put some small felt furniture pads on the bottom of the one going out tomorrow.

[@craigdille8295]

Great video! I am new to your channel and subscribed. Keep up the great content. Look forward to making a couple of these as I have a book readers in the family

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks for the sub! Appreciate that!

[@williamhildreth9905]

Very cool Love the detail and easy explanations you give. Look forward for more content I hope to make some for my family who love reading

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you!!

[@ronaldlongfellow87]

I’ll say this man God bless you for sharing your idea to help others make money. Bless you brother !

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you.

Very very good. Thank you. Keep it up.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you, I will

[@rawpraisehorn5716]

Good creative project

[@brucewatson8451]

What a cool little project. Hoping to get more home based part time work by expanding my wood projects (cutting out some of the firewood, shoulders won't last forever) and being home more often so we can travel too. Thanks, Bruce

[@SothpawDesigns]

You can do it!

[@edmelzark1069]

What a great idea!!

[@SothpawDesigns]

I think so too! I saw it online and decided to give it my own twist.

[@em_milli]

Great project, thanks for sharing 👍

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks for watching!!

[@markgaither5635]

Thanks for another great video. Now that Christmas is over could you do a video on what to make and sell now? Also, we are practically neighbors. Im in Jeffersonville, IN lol

[@PuppetWood]

Great project!

[@dbaconjr]

Thanks for the video. I have tried to make a few out of red cedar planks. The warping is suck a pain to deal with. I don't have a plane of any kind. So I ended up making a similar design in tinkercad and 3d printing it.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Yup, warping can be tough to deal with. So you 3D print the entire book caddy? That's a good idea!

[@trevorwalters7978]

Simply...AWESOME. 👍🇬🇧🇬🇪🙋🏼‍♂️.subscribed

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you! I'm going to be doing a series of these small projects in the coming months. Keep an eye out.

Thanks Garrett. Enjoy your work! Learned a great deal from you over the past couple of years!

[@urs1386]

Very cool

[@ClintonCaraway-CNC]

@SothpawDesigns I love this design and project. On a side note... I leave the paper on the acrylic for the v10 when it comes off the laser so it doesn't get scratched while being shipped to Daniel or while being shipped to you. You can remove it and it will allow you a little view of the bit or really a lot of swirling chips/dust. #PwnCNC #imakestuffwithrobots

[@SothpawDesigns]

Who’s Daniel?

I enjoyed your no frills video. Just down to earth and a pretty cool idea for those book worms out there! I'll be trying this. Thank you.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you..

[@bernadetteflynn5005]

Omg I just love the ease with which you use your tools. My husband has just retired and he loves woodwork but unfortunately we don’t have any space to set him up. I want him to join the local “Men’s Shed “ and want to buy him some sort of saw/tool to get him started. Can anyone suggest what would be the best thing to buy him to get him going. Thank you 👏❤️🇮🇪

[@SothpawDesigns]

The first tool that I started with was a table saw. Very versatile and able to make multiple jigs to accomplish many tasks. Here's what I use. amzn.to/3RFPOwE

[@edcrego8487]

Nice idea I would think they will you over good thanks for sharing your idea

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks for watching.

[@liolone]

42K views within 3days and only 15.2K followers, pretty unfair, glad I randomly found you. Love it

[@SothpawDesigns]

I've only been at it a little over a year, and jumping around a lot, so the subs have been hit and miss. This is the type of content that I've been wanting to focus on, and I felt like this video would do well, but it's taken off more than I thought it would. Don't worry, after the success of this type of video, and considering it's the type of content that I'd rather be making, I'll be making many more in this area. My subs have jumped over 1,600 since posting this video, so it's obvious that this is the type of content I should be focusing on. Appreciate the support!

[@mikecozzi1040]

😲 Kool! Don't forget to say made in USA! 🇺🇲 😲Thanks for Sharing I'm thinking about making one for myself!
