This build is A MONEY MAKER - Woodworking Projects That Sell

Why this squirrel Adirondack feeder is more profitable than this full-size chair. Grow your woodworking business with "smalls".

Often, smaller items are looked over by new builders looking to make a name for themselves because they are looking for "that one build" that they can sell for a ton of money. They aren't considering the cost of the build and the time spent making it. Ultimately any business comes down to profit margins. I'll give you a few examples of how selling items that anyone can afford can generate crazy sales with minimal cost of goods sold!
Sometimes we overthink things when the most profitable items we are looking past. Let's change that.

Good question

I just looked at them 7.50 awesome price

I want the plans

I've been saving my money at min wage job. I've been slowly buying tools. This is the video I need.

[@DIY.with.DianeD]

You are an amazing teacher, not only for builds, but the business of profits! Thank you for your awesome content!

[@sarahd1817]

I dont care much about feeding the squirrels, but my nieces would love these simply as doll furniture. Possibly a very inexpensive holiday gift.

[@rhooper4022]

Normally not a plans in the hands person, but when I realized that these feeders just became a large part of Christmas build, had to get the set. Thank you for what you do for our community.

[@sbrishaber]

I am also a RN in the Louisville/southern IN area! I absolutley love your videos! All of them! Doing crafts/woodworking really helps destress after working, which is why I started. Just recently finished my she shed! Thank you for the inspiration! Honestly knowing you are a nurse also really sealed the deal for me subscribing to you , I usually do not subscribe! Thank you!

[@oceanx3417]

I've been promoting the small squirrel items as Doll furniture for American Girl size dolls.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I like it!

[@julieniemeyer925]

How's it working? That is a fantastic idea.

[@oceanx3417]

@@julieniemeyer925 really well. Mostly gifts but you can add paint to personalize the pieces for different dolls. I also too the basic garden basket idea, made the slats longer, attached them to the centers of the end pieces, and modified the tops of the ends for a doll bed (Some straight cuts and one with a jigsaw cut to resemble a castle). I haven't tried to sell much, but if you have 18' dolls in mind a tweak here and there gets you into the "rustic farmhouse" doll furniture business, and those people (my wife included!) spend big buck on that kind of thing!

[@mattwinans7418]

Love it... Thank you sir

[@UndercoverWoodcraft]

Love your Smalls Videos! Keep them coming!

[@jayempress4203]

I like! Thankyou!

[@ronrolison1100]

Both of your kids knocked it out of the park! And you knock it out just a little further. Three awesome builds, but the chair is the winner! Get ready, cuz they’ll be blowing you away pretty soon. Thanks for all you do!😃

[@JRaymer315]

The power of smalls is true! Those planter boxes were Killing it this Spring!

[@jond1965]

I like them all but I would say the chair is my favorite. Have several of your plans Mathew and love them. Already been selling planter boxes, garden baskets and trellis. Even made your garden arbor out of pressure treated lumber and sold it. Gonna add the chair to my projects. Thanks for all you do!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Glad you like them! Keep it up!

[@kharadavis1863]

You are preaching in this video about profit margins. I love it!

[@oneseedoneworld]

Thanks for answering my question on Patreon about the Adirondack chair! In my area the local store sells them for over $200 a piece, so I was looking to maybe build my own (not to sell, just for around the firepit). My vote goes for your Adirondack chair.

[@dondale68]

At 6;07, I like the way you cut half the board then flipped the board to finish the cut,, Never reaching over the blade! Damn good thinkin! just 1 more week and I'll be back in my own woodshop!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

That’s exactly right! Thank you and congrats on the new shop!

[@yankeeredneck6947]

I was wondering why he flipped the board like that. I never thought about it like that. I like it.

[@kaseyleet7218]

My favorite is the porch swing!

[@billweaver3702]

Man I love your videos my kids made the picnic tables for Mother’s Day!! Turned out great made them with nothing but hand tools. Now we got to make the swing. Thank you for posting these made the best memories for me and my kids

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

That is awesome! Keep it up!

[@dcruicks1]

As usual it's awesome!!

[@AZbone]

I like the swing

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

I completely agree with the high profit, low cost. Don't care what it is, that's how I roll. I enjoy making stuff with my hands, with my family and friends. Thank You my friend, for another great video.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Right on

[@lindalehnert9227]

Awesome!

[@johnhedden]

tough call!!!! the chair and swing each are unique but the table lends itself to sets, ie 9 -12 - 15. i built the table first cuz it was easy and i used scraps from fan trellis's and planters. that's another plus for all 3 - using cut offs from other projects. unfortunately my wife got to the table before the squirrels....it's a plant stand for a peace lily. love your channel. highly insprational

[@DavesCoolCustomBikes]

[@jefflevings4155]

My favorite is the swing but definitely will try to build all of them. Great job to all

Gotta go with the swing! My granddaddy and grandmothers front porch had swings on both ends that got a good workout when us grandkids got there. Love all your stuff!!

[@Lou13Cyf3r]

LOVED watching Norm and T.O.H as a kid

[@RyanSeverson93]

I always love the ideas your kids and you come up with. For me its a hard call between the front porch swing one and the chair but my vote goes to the swing. Great work as always!

All of the builds were fantastic! I honestly thought Matt that you were going to have a really hard time beating these kids. But I have to say you came out on top once again. Matt, my vote is for you. Awesome build guys!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Lol Thank you!

Well this is a pretty hard choice. I like them all so yes is all I have to say, all are easy and very decorative. Another fun video to watch. Thanks for all you do for this community.

Always a awesome tutorial. My vote is the chair! Good luck to all 3.

[@user-yy7jr6ur8r]

I have to say that I really like the swing.

[@Wolfe_Metals_Stacking]

I'd have to say the swing and chair are a tie. I love how both look! Good job, family!

[@bobby-gs9wn]

I’m so glad I found your channel. Good stuff buddy!

[@ryanoconnor4876]

Like many have already commented, it’s a tough call. All great! I’m from an area just outside the Adirondack’s so they are very popular in my area. I think the chair gets the edge just because I think they would sell the best here. Love the challenge idea. Keep doing more of these!!! Reminds me of John Malecki’s 3 version builds!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks for sharing!

[@melodywilson5255]

Boy that is a tough choice! I like the table for ease-of-build. I like the chair with bucket for the accuracy to the full size. But my favorite might be the swing. It's so original! You and your kids are brilliant!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you!!

[@frederickjohnsen4246]

I built two chairs. and a table from the scraps left over. It cost me $125 for rough and S3S black locust, plus screws, plus time. Most people are not going to pay for a hand-crafted Adirondack chair when they can buy cheap throwaway Chinese/Indian crap from HD and Lowes. So I totally agree. People will waste their money on tchotchkes and such before they will buy higher-end quality items. I love your channel. Keep it coming.

[@charlesyonk4315]

You are 100 percent right about the full size chairs. I call it the WalMart throw away mentality. Another great build! Thank you!😊

The porch swing the best gets my vote.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@dian3145]

The master has tutored the grasshoppers well! While all three are excellent projects, the swing gets my vote ❤

[@quadsquadracingable]

I love this! I've built several picnic squirrel tables from scraps before you did the video. I'm known for my adirondack chairs that are pretty fancy. So to reinforce your breakdown of profit, I sell my chairs for $300-$350 each and it takes about 15 to 20 hours to make one. I have an outlet for my cedar materials, but I still spend about $90 on materials. In the end it breaks down to less than $15 an hour for profit. I've definitely learned that the money is in the smaller builds! But for certain people I will still build the full size chairs. It has made demand for my chairs that much higher because I don't make many of them. In the spring I make a few versions of planters that are quick, but beautiful builds. Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@b3arwithm3]

That is a very low hourly rate. Especially if you factor in the cost of buying your tools, the shop space, and small things needed like screws, sand paper, stain, etc.

[@quadsquadracingable]

@daddybear236 Absolutely!! That's why I build the full size chairs for basically family and close friends!! I build firetables too, and when I want a big profit I do a table or a bunch of planters. I can build 5 planters in a day at $75 each of profit. Most of my woodworking is for my mental health, but I like to buy new stuff with its profits too

[@b3arwithm3]

@@quadsquadracingable same here. I do woodworking as a hobby and stress relief. I gift the stuff to friends. Never manage to sell anything at a reasonable price. People expect to buy from "classified ads" as 1/3 of the IKEA stuff. Not even worth the hassle to communicate with them.

[@2112maxine]

I like your chair

[@pmdinaz]

Gotta go with swing!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@xpoxydesignz5003]

That Front Porch Swing is looking good. and i Love the chair!!! i have to through your videos as it has been a min since i been on the tube....

[@MrShadyCash]

It's all about profit margin when it comes to sales. For instance, a restaurant would rather sell you a plate of spaghetti for 12 than a seafood casino for 25 dollars because the spaghetti cost 32 cents to make, and the seafood casino cost 18 dollars to make. This would make a good build for a chair for a toddler maybe. Awesome video, thanks!

[@kellydelmas2683]

They are all awesome, my vote goes to the chair

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@davidgood2598]

You know I have watched a lot of your videos and have made many items to sell or the wife claims before, either way I’m happy. I sell some Adirondack chairs, modern, traditional, and my favorite one is from kings fine woodworking, I think that is it anyway I sell all pine or if the customer wants cedar I tell them the price then we go back to pine that I finish with an outside treatment, but it takes 15 hours to build 2 maybe I could buil 3 or 4 in day 20 hours but the point is 15 hours and I make if I laser engrave, a fair amount but like the squirrel picnic table I could make 10 in an hour and make $200-$300 be pending on wood ( picket fence) anyway keep busting out the videos thanks so much for explaining and giving me and other inspiration

[@carolinepaltz324]

Well that is a tough choice to make, for me it all depends on where you want to put it in your yard. For that reason, I am going to go with the PORCH SWING 😊 and I’m going to make all three! Thanks for all the great ideas you provide here on your channel!!!

I'm not sure how squirrel feeders will sell around here......they are considered more of a nuisance than anything. BUT I'm still going to make a couple.....they are so darn cute. THANKS Matthew.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

They are cute! Lol

[@davidward1259]

I love all of the builds (yours and the kids), but I think my choice is the adirondack feeder with the metal bucket - would work for squirrels and birds alike. I'm buying all the plans to support the kids though. ***I tried to by the Kids plans when the last video dropped, but ETSY kept telling me "too many connections". I figured out it was because I had my VPN turned on. Turned it off and logged in to ETSY just fine today*** Love your videos and I have learned a lot from you!!!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you for all the support. The kids and I really appreciate it!

[@rickpouley7561]

Loved all the builds, but... I am partial to the chair build myself.. I love the idea of working with the cedar fence pickets.. $$$$ Thanks...

[@joedirt5098]

Using a 18" metal ruler for bending and tracing angles works really well

[@deannatoland1506]

This is a tough choice. I think the chair will be easier to find a place to mount but being a southern girl, I definitely have to go with the (porch) swing. 😊❤

[@WomanUnfiltered]

These are all cool. I do love the squirrel swing, a great creative build. However, I don't think the squirrels would enjoy the movement too much. Love the Adirondack chair, especially with the screw or bucket option. This was too close to call. 😂
