Basically, you bought a premade robodesk frame and recycled some wood to make the surface. So, how much value does the woodburning add? If I hate vain crap, and if I make one of these desks, will it lose like $1000 in value because I didn't draw cubes on it?

Seems like the more you do, the less you get paid.

One thing you. Any wish to think about as far as costs are concerned…. the cost of all your equipment and it’s ongoing maintenance. It’s an important consideration for a freelance. In a prior life as a freelance photographer I often came up against people telling me that considering I just showed up and pushed buttons the costs were crazy. My response was “you provide the $65,000 of equipment and I’ll reduce my price! 🤣😂🤣

Man, thank you so much for the running time & total invested as well as the free 3D printed jig on your website. Things I loved: 1. No extra hem-hawing information to scrub through. Clean and to the point. 2. You fast-track things at the right time. (We don’t need to see a real time break down of all pallets. You show it so we know how you did it without wasting our time) 3. Props to a guy who recognizes the support of his parents. 4. From how you found them to how you shipped (and the selling process included!) that’s what I usually wonder about. After most people’s videos, I think, “Yeah but how long did it actually take them to sell this thing?” In short. This was perfectly executed. You are great at this. And after this one video, I’m definitely going to subscribe and tell my friends. Keep it up!

The entire cost breakdown and conversion (2 currencies) was amazing. Great work. Great video. Awesome information for people that would like to do this. When you breakdown all the tools and equipment required, the skills, and the vision of what it takes to do this, you really should've made much, much more. The problem is finding the buyer, of course. Maybe they would've been more interested if they didn't know the humble beginning of the material. Should've said it was a 2,000 year old tree from japan!?! Hell, idk, but it looks GREAT. Love the 3 dimensional look! Great work! Texas, USA.

Looks pretty cool! Just a thought on the jig, it looks like it worked pretty well, but what about if you could add 1 more diamond on one side of it so you could use that to overlap your previous set of diamonds to ensure you always stay straight? I feel like that would make the process a lot quicker and easier!

The time spent on that project is definitely more than 16 hours. You don't take into account the time spent setting up or cleaning your shop and tools, as well as the time spent filming marketing videos and so on. 16 work hours would mean that you are able to build and sell one table every 2 days, or 10 to 15 tables every month but it is clearly not the case. Apart from that I think it is a really cool project and you did a nice job!

Hello Morley, I'm from Philippines, also a wood worker but more on kitchen modular, customized tables. I admire the way you conduct your vlog. However, it's a kind of being off when you tell everything on pricing. Maybe,it's just your hobby but in the real world of commercializing the product nowadays client will scrutinize everything most especially when you put it in marketplace. You're brave enough to detail your pricing. People will tend to huggle down the price without thinking how difficult to such piece of work.. Anyway, continue to inspire people at the same time make quality products.

Great video - thanks for sharing. Here's a tip for you: If you have a ton of panels with protruding nails that you want to pullout, give each nail a tap on the point so that the head protrudes. Then put your claw hammer/crowbar in a vice with the claw at the top curving downward. Take a plank, wedge the nail head in the claw and leaver off, Because the plank is longer that your claw tool hooking out nails is faster and less strenuous.

its good he broke down the specifics and he made very good hourly wage for doing something he loved.. the epoxy river table cost mainly comes from the slabs of wood they're made out of... depending on the species and size of it, they can easily cost upwards of 10,000 just for the wood itself.. then you add in the materials/time like this video did... that's why those types of tables costs so much.. and no offense to the creator, his table is very modern and chic.. but it's lifeless and inorganic, which is fine if that's not what you're looking for, but that's exactly what those river epoxy rivers table give

I see $300 in epoxy, $4000 in tools, 15-20 hours in labor, and $50 in lumber. Depreciating the tools, I'd bet the profit is somewhere around $80-100 when you factor in overhead, rent, and other sundries.

Not exactly free when you have to consider all the expensive ass tools it takes to do this. Not like just anyone can get some free pallets and make this shit. Then sell it for a grand. Especially since people will buy it just because it was on a youtube channel. So unless you have a workshop and a few 100,000 subscribers. This isn't something you can do.

@RicoGG don't wanna make tables so your point is moot. If you got a shop full of woodworking tools and machinery. Then you got some cheap ass shit. A planer alone is more than a grand but ok i guess.

The breakdown of the costs is great... seeing you have a cat... pallet wood is an excellent resource for making a cat tower, or towers I should say given the insane pricing of cat tower kits at the petstore and they don't seem hand-made at all. If I had a garage, I'd be making cat trees/towers all the time since there clearly a market out there.
