    Hello
    I've been building and selling bunk beds for the past couple years, but through another company and it was very difficult to market myself because of their constraints. With the pandemic, I had to stop entirely and am no longer contracted with that company. (I don't mind - gotta put others' safety first).
    Now I'm taking this opportunity and I'm in the process of designing and prototyping my own furniture, which I can market as I wish.
    I wanted to say:
    Thank you for being clear.
    Thank you for not offering the same old stuff (cutting boards, wine racks, etc).
    Thank you for talking about price structure and THANK YOU for actually charging a reasonable amount.
    This is heartening to see, and it actually gives me hope as I try and get my business running so I can provide for my family.
    That was long-winded, but I'm grateful your willingness to share your knowledge and experience.
    All the best,
    -Aaron

    I'm starting making kids chairs, price is 25$ each. I spend 4-5 h on it. Material cost is 12$. Like you said, don't count time when you're starting. I've sold 5 of them in 2 weeks, so it's still motivating and will increase price soon as the overall quality improves with practice!

    Great video...I'm a retired pilot in Central Florida...started making adirondack chairs our of 5/4 decking I saw on TH-cam and found people wanted to buy them...they stopped on the street and I had a great business till the city fined me...lol...the newspaper did a story on me and made me a HERO...SO now i sell at the local farmers market. I built a 4 foot table with 4x4 legs and deck top which I do a distressed look, navy blue paint, sand it...put white over it..sand it...then clear coat...i call it "faded blue jean look"...I've done it in every size up to 12 ft. I sold the 6 ft version with 2 benches for $700. Its a great seller. I also do childrens chairs and give them to all the kids in my neighborhood. I go from "itty bitty" to adult simply taking the height of the child in inches...say they are 36" high and divide by 72," which is the adult size and so you get .5 and multiply that out on all your cuts ...people LOVE THEM...and it spreads good will...many of the folks I gave a child chair come back and order a table..etc.......pricing is tough and I consider this a 'MINISTRY'. I have found the best thing to do on price is ask the buyer what they think its worth...often they say a number MUCH HIGHER than you would ask. And I give away a ton of stuff to folks who cannot afford it. Its been A joy...to do that. Really down to earth presentation. I will definitely do as you say and build these items on the video. THANK YOU!!! Be blessed.

    As a woodworker and musician, I agree with almost everything you just said. What I didn't agree with? When a family member buys from you, he/she is trying to support your business. Giving a discount would be ironic. If a family member is struggling and you wanna help him/her out, you could have them buy the materials while you do the work for free, and have him/her help you build it. That way he/she will appreciate how much hard work is put into woodworking.

And just today I sold a desk and set of matching shelves to a friend for about $75 profit. Took several days and was really underpriced, but I learned some new skills and it paid for a new shop vac to help keep the dust at bay lol. I really appreciate your honesty in pricing too. Most videos cop out when it comes around to pricing. While it's not a guarantee, it definitely gives an idea of where they should be priced and what people will pay.

    my name is Chris, I'm just starting out in woodworking, I've watched alot of utube videos, yours has recently become an inspiration to me and based on what I 've seen yours is by far the best. You've given me an idea I never even thought of, and that is your religious point of view. I have been wondering how to succeed in my passion of wood working, and I've have decided how I'm going to proceed with my business, in which I don't have yet, but I'm working on it. I am going to try a whole different approach and through the Gospel. Thank You , Truly. ChrisK

      Lol, me too...and millions of others as well. While I appreciate and really enjoy the videos that woodworkers post, and am happy that there are a few that can sell handmade furniture, the reality is that it's nearly impossible make a "living" in woodworking. I've been a woodworker for nearly 40 years, have a 30x36 temperature controlled wood shop with every tool imaginable, and I haven't attempted to sell anything since the mid 90s. Less than 1% of people will pay a higher price for handmade goods now, thanks to big box stores and their Asian produced goods. I don't know a single soul that would buy a handmade table or anything else for that matter. But like I said, I'm glad there are people out there with enough friends and family willing to give them money for their hard work.

    Those stove covers are something I've never seen before and I'm planning on making one for myself, mostly because I would like extra work area for making and kneading bread, so I think I'll add some rubber gorilla glue mat to the bottom for grip and put in some hooks so I can attach it above the stove and maybe use it as an extra storage/spice rack right under the microwave.

    @e-spy 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wow, so glad I stopped by! My kids moved out (I am single mom), no money for furniture. I decided to find out if I could make it for them. I started with a garden bench. they loved it. I moved on to end tables, entry tables, coffee tables. Loved it. Then one girl got her own place, and the problem was no tv stand she liked. So I made each a tv stand, both of them very different (they had their own wants and finishes --yep both custom stains, sizes, heights, lol), so I decided to see if I could successfully design with fireplace and barn doors. that barn door hardware is expensive! so I figured out how to make my own by wandering around home depot for ideas, lol. Both came out great, and a lot of their friends are asking me to build for them. I also made bar carts that look great in the kitchen and roll on wheels. One has a removable tray, the other tray is secured (clumsy daughter). And it is fun challenging myself to design and build with only a miter saw, a drill and that kreg. So yeah, it can be done, and your video is excellent. Thank you so much for sharing! But caution...make sure the wood is DRY, or you will, like me, be rebuilding a barn door. sigh. lesson learned!

    I did something stupid and sheared off the drill guide locking pin (a set screw that holds the drill block in place) and the drill block was locked in place; no way to back the drill guide stub out of the drill block hole.
    I called Kreg support and they sent me a new K4, no questions asked.

    Wow! Awesome, i formative video that gave me some great ideas to try! Back in January, i renovated my Chiropractic office... mostly by myself...but had a couple guys help with more involved parts that i was completely unfamiliar with... i went with a 'country chic' style... a barn door on rolling rails..some corrugated metal accents, .shiplap on a couple walls, and I built 3 rustic garden benches. Building & staining those benches was fun and therapeutic. Some ladies from a hair salon in the building LOVED how they looked and sat...I said that I was taking orders for them and they both jumped at the chance! And they didn't bat an eye at the $175 pricetag.
    I think I'll try some end tables and kennel tables this winter!
    Thank you sir. Keep up the good work! And may God CONTINUE to RICHLY bless you!
