Wingnut, I am 73 and still making smalls from reclaimed pallets. Since I work in a plant maintenance dept. my supply of wood is endless. Was overwhelmed with request for squirrel feeders and childrens picnic tables. Doing those projects did a great deal in boosting my sense of worth and actually kicked the "old man" from my life. thank you Jim B
Wingnut. I understand that you spend many hours each week to put together each video with the main purpose of helping others... mostly strangers. I just wanted to say thank you. Also, please keep them coming. You are sincerely appreciated.
Wingnut, i am a 64 year old woman that is just learning to create with wood. I am making old-school window screen frames for my 124 year old house. I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge. Watching your videos is what gave me the courage to try.
Wingnut. I'm a 61 yo almost retired woman who has been knocking things together all my life. I found your channel last year and am having fun with the smalls.
Wingnut - For a live edge hanging shelf I took a live edge board, cut it into three different lengths (about 9", 11" & 13") and drilled a hole in the back of each dead center. Then I put a Hillman 3 prong nut in the hole and screwed in a hanger bolt (bolt on one end and lag bolt on the other). Simply drill a hole in the wall where the stud is and "screw" the shelf into the wall until flush. I wrapped them together with twine to sell as a set with a typed note card with the instructions (hole size to drill is important). Scrap turned shelves. (You know how to tell who's a woodworking dad. Lots of keys, probably on a carabiner, and can't stop making shelves.) Thanks for all the great vids. Keep going all you sawdust addicts. Vitamin W is good for the body.
Make one of the plant swings a touch wide and sell it as a window herb garden. Fun tag lines “Thyme to hang out. Just dilling around, I’m parsley to relaxing, a wise sage knows to be calm.”
@@MatthewPeechWoodworkingdude, you are amazing! I’m so happy that your TH-cam blew up. I’ve been here for a long time, and here is what happened I spent so many hours and days watching your stuff and it kept me so motivated. Then, I let life get in the way of my woodworking and like an idiot, stopped watching your videos. I stopped wood working soon after and stopped making money A few days ago, I began watching again and not ironically, I have dive deep back into my craft. Now I have watched this video, I can’t describe how I’m even more pumped about building and designing after watching this one. What a great video! I’m back for good and will be here daily. I deserve this!
Wingnut. As many others have said, your inspirational messages are as or more important than your projects. Younger generations more than ever need that encouragement. I did the same with my kids and grandkids. I'm old and technically retired but anyone in my situation will tell you that "retired" just means that you're busier than before, hopefully doing what makes you happy. I have a CNC machine and many of your projects can be knocked out super fast and easily repeated. Doing what makes me happy!
Wingnut, I really appreciate all your videos. I'm 68,retired, and started a woodworking shop. I have bought several of your plans and made things from your videos. Thankyou.
My marriage ended n full blown country song he kept house dog my friend Gave me the cow I bottlefed .I'm at crossroads and you're the reason I'm starting this business just know your pet talks are inspiring and motivating God bless you and thank you
Matt, I loved what you were saying at the beginning of the video. We always taught our daughter, that there is no such thing as can't. In fact I have a card on my fridge that reads, "the only thing you can't do, is the thing you haven't tried". And, yes I read that often, because I go to the fridge more than I should. My wife liked the plant swing, not to hot on the clothes rack. May try a couple anyway.
Matt I love what you said about makers (blind makers, makers missing a arm, etc) I'm a maker that's disabled ( in a wheelchair) all my tools, tablesaw, scrollsaw and other tools are lower for me to work with even my bench, I go to craft shows and people are so amazed that I do woodworking I DO NOT let my disability get in my way I AM NOT disadvantages I am capable Thanks Matt
Keep up the hard work, I as well have a disability. I am legally blind, I still go to a factory and put my 40 hours in every week and do woodworking in my spare time! I love these videos because it gives me knew things to try. God bless and keep grinding:-)
@@glockjay7400 my friend same to you keep it up don't let someone tell us or anyone with a disability it can't be done I do a lot of scrollsaw work I made a wall clock and got 2 neighbors in my area they asked me to make them a wall clock
Respect. My wife's uncle was completely blind and did woodworking for years, including using a table saw. Now deceased, he actually led an amazing life.
Wingnut. I'm a 63 yo female, retired last year. I've always been a crafter, but I started watching videos like yours and those that rip apart pallets and make amazing things and I would love to have a workshop. We went to an auction a few weeks ago and I got a working craftsman table saw for $20! I already have a mitre saw I bought a few years ago to update my kitchen cabinets and for Christmas my husband bought me a small circular saw because I complained that his was too heavy for me. We picked up some free pallets recently and they certainly don't come apart as easily as in the videos! Some we had to cut nails, some we had to cut the slats, and yesterday we had one that I knew if we tried to take anything off it we were going to split the wood for sure. So I took my circular saw and cut the whole thing in half. It is now the cutest sides to my new strawberry bed, looks like a picket fence! I love watching your videos, and I may start to make things to try and sell, but first I have to make everything I want!
Wing nut. Thank you for your inspiration. I have been struggling for a month now on working in my shop. The 3d chess board I made for a dear friends children passed away a day later. I just really couldn't bring myself to do anything. Everything I touched was not working. So I have really been trying to back in the swing of things. I hear her say you got this. And with your message today has really helped. I am so grateful that I found your videos when I first started this journey. I am truly grateful for you also. Always giving everyone support. Thank you Matthew
Mini pallets idea for marketing, show a bunch of them around a large pallet. “My pallet got out a few months ago now I have a littler of pallet pups. Will let go to a good home.”
What Matt said in the beginning is so true! 11 years ago when I started building furniture I had the thought that I wanted to build custom furniture and cabinetry for the million dollar homes/customers. I was constantly told I couldn’t and shouldn’t even try. Even by loved ones. Well, nowadays my customer base is predominantly exactly what I wanted to do. Building custom woodworks for “the rich”. Had I given up or listened to the naysayers I would not be doing what I’m doing. As Matt says, you HAVE to believe in yourself!
Exactly! It's nuts how people want to be negative instead of building you up. Even family. I think some people are afraid that you'll succeed. Never forget... a goal is a dream with a deadline. keep it up!
Wingnut! Thank you for your videos. You inspired a mid-60's year old woman to try woodworking for the first time in my life. Please keep encouraging people. We hear you!
WINGNUT I've been watching for awhile. After watching your video on starter tools I've begun buying some tools. I'll be starting to make the Christmas Tree and Snowflake patterns soon. I'm a 68 year old recently retired female and am excited to begin!
Wingnut!!! Pushing out the negative is how I have to live right now and have been for awhile. I'm not the best at anything I make or fix for others, but I enjoy it all . I'm a scrapper of all sorts of things and get looked down on daily, never thought I'd be where I am at my age. But I do what I can.. Your words are an awesome reminder!! Thank you very much!!
That's how it has to be. I was looked down on my whole life... and even now. Like you I'm not a master of anything. Just handy. I grew up scrapping and still do. When I go to the dump sometimes I leave with more stuff than I went with😂. Dumpster diving... count me in. Let them talk.
My wife thought I was a wingnut when I went on a four hour round trip to pick up a bunch of 12 inch wide 90 year old pine boards from a property some 5 miles away from where she grew up - without any idea of what I might do with it. I now have an idea. Thanks! 👊
wingnut! I'm 59 years old disabled and enjoy working in my shop until my body says it's done. Love working with wood creating things. My favorite is just the beauty of wood. Man, it can really blow your mind sometimes.
Lol. Actually I have gotten several messages from folks that love them! Just shows it's all about what others like if your selling them. Now I may have to make a set.
100% 100% 100% on your pep talk at the start. The whole world it seems, has a dark negative cloud over it that is trying to drag us all down. I'm taking your advice and getting out there. Subscribed from the UK. Thank you for the positivity & for the videos 🙏👍
Wingnut… I’m a 60 year old retired worker in a rut looking for something to help make me more money. Looking for something that creates a passion in me. I love your videos and watch them all. Great inspiration! 🙏❤️👍
Wingnut. Hi Matt, Im a 41/f and I do my best to tey to get out into my little shop and make things when I can. I started woodworking several years ago and fell in love with just making things for family and my wife for around the house. I love your channel and the idea of smalls that sell. I hope to move to the selling arena in the next couple years after life slows down a bit. I love the positivity. The world needs more of it! Thank you! 😊
Wingnut! I’m a 59 yr old male. Have worked my full time job for just over 38 yrs. I’ve been doing woodworking for almost 30 yrs. I’ve done smalls, crafts, small furniture(end tables/coffee tables). Love the channel! Have been watching since your original garden trellis video. Keep up the great videos! And thanks for always encouraging us!
Funny as a wingnut!...When this video first started playing, I paused it and mentioned to my wife that I always get a ton more than "just" woodworking out of watching you; that a lot of what you say beyond instructions is applicable throughout life, rather than just in the shop. Then, you immediately turned around and said, almost verbatim, the exact same thing I'd just told her! I'm coming on 62 and looking to retire very soon...life at sea has lost its' luster!...woodworking has always been an interest of mine, even if I'm not terribly good at it, but I intend to put in a lot of practice in the near future! Stay Safe!
That's so great. I would always "sneak" in lil bits about confidence and pushing yourself... but on this one I was tired of "sneaking" lil things in. Someone out there needed a kick in the butt... lol. So I just decided to speak my mind.
Well said Brother Mr.Peach here is what you see is what you get kind of guy. I have not ever heard a cross word come either like some,which is ok for them lol . Enjoy and Peace
Wingnut! I am a 60-year-old entrepreneur in the making, I started my maker business late last year and love learning, I use resin, clay, textiles, wood or paper. Go to the markets and sell my wares, thank you Matthew for your wise advice and love the ideas. It's always fun.
Wingnut As always, appreciate you for what you give to our community. With the fall / winter coming up, I can see the porch swing planters selling well.
Wingnut, I'm 62 and have loved working with wood all my life but I am just now trying to build me a little woodworking shop. I love you're informative videos and appreciated very much the time that you put into each one. Thank You and keep them coming !
Wingnut 49yr old truck driver, 26 years OTR. Looking for a hobby to keep myself busy while at home. I had great reactions from the ketchup and mustard picnic table, but I didn't start making them till after July 4th. (I'll be ready next year). Almost time to start making Christmas stuff, people will be spending money soon!! Take care Matt! Keep it up!
Most people call me a wingnut but I was thinking you could make a succulent bench instead of a swing just by making the arm supports longer! Love this video series
Wingnut - You're the inspiration Matt! 46 sales on my Etsy shop w/ a very hopeful outlook for the future. It's tough, lots to learn, but so neat to experience. It's true, you just have to start and stay committed.
Wingnut woodworkers sometimes need to hear that few minutes of motivational talk. If you are trying to sell your work, all of those observations were on point. Thanks! Really enjoy the projects.
Wingnut. I'm also 60 year old, not sure how that happened but here I am. Looking to change what I've been doing for 40 years and create some cool stuff. I love the channel, keep it up!
Wingnut, we love your videos. We have watched you and have been patrion members for a while. You are very inspirational. Last year my sister was staying with us and we were watching your videos. She thought you were awesome, so she went home, watched all of your videos and is learning woodworking. Thank you for the inspiration.
I would definitely watch a video from you about your projects that didn't sell, why they didn't sell and how you reworked the problem. I feel like your insight and opinions are top tier and could help a lot of people.
Wingnut here. I'm in my late 50's. I see I'm not the only one in this general age bracket appreciating your work. In my case I have come to realize that I need to supplement my income. I'm hoping that woodworking is the ticket. Twenty years ago I began the woodworking hobby but circumstances forced me to stop after a year or so. I was in it long enough to know I enjoy it so I'm looking forward to getting back into it. Thanks for the positivity and ton of great ideas. You're doing great work for so many. That's how to live right.
Wingnut- Thank you Matthew for what you do. I love your positivity and passion. I've made three squirrel picnic tables and two of the decorative garden trellis obelisks, even had a neighbor comment on it. I look forward to your videos every Sunday.
Wingnut. Love your inspiration and your videos. I’m one of those people you have talked about. Disabled. I’ve done some of those projects. Some of them are just not possible for me. Like my grandpa used to say “ the bad thing about youth is it’s wasted on the young “. I look forward to seeing your videos.
Wing nut-I love the many different ideas you put out in your videos. Not just the technique but the emotion and desire to help people beyond just making something. Thank you!
Wing nut. So it has been really hard for me. Just got done with surgery to fix some nerve damage. While away at that all my wood working tools were stolen and my dog was bitten by a spider and died before I could get him to the vet. But listening to your montage at the beginning of your video really helped me. Thanks. And keep up the great work. It helps to at least distract people for a bit and get them thinking of other things. I appreciate it.
Wingnut......... I'm 71yrs old. Woodworking for over 50yrs. I've bought a few of your plans. really like your videos. Keep it up. Old timers like me like new ideas.
Wingnut. I always enjoy your vids. I don't sell my projects. I give them as gifts. Last year I was too busy and ran out out of time. Some family members were a little disappointed. So I made a commitment to make gifts again. Your plans are always great and easy to follow. Thank you.
Wingnut. I've enjoyed building your projects and even bought a couple sets of plans (not that I follwed them to the letter). Next weekend at a family event, I'll be handing out 5 sets of the condiment picnic tables as gifts. Thanks for the constant inspiration!
Hallelujah 🙌🏻!!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I was owing a loan of $49,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery, Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $11,000 and got my payout of $290,500 every month…God bless Mrs Susan Jane Christy ❤️
Wingnut. As a backyard tinkerer I love this channel and always get great ideas and positive encouragement. A pleasure every time I see a new upload show up in my feed.
Wingnut, ty for creating this space for us. I never miss a video of yours and have tried almost every project you have presented. I have expanded my business to 2 cities, and have hired my nephew to help me build. It was your inspiration that convinced him that woodwoking wasnt a nerdy venture, and he is a natural at it. He will go far. Thank you for being you
Wingnut. Loved your opening speech. I'm working on the confidence to get in my shop and have it make money for me. Right now it's a catch all! Pool gear, Halloween props, and just crap. I've had a lot happen to me the past few years including losing my father. Can't seem to get ME back. Love what you do and your message.
I was in a very similar situation and can wholeheartedly relate to your position. Let me tell you. Go make something, anything! Whether its a path to the table, or the little succulent swing, get in your shop and do it! Make a little room today, make a little more tomorrow. Your father will absolutely be thrilled to see you pick yourself up, and he can say to all the other fathers in heaven above, that's my son! Instead of thinking "I'm not good enough" try "I'm not good enough, but I know that if I do these things I will be." Hope that helps you.
Wingnut, Thanks for your great videos and encouragement. I just started woodworking a couple of years ago when I retired and now I'm hooked. Thanks for the great ideas.
Wingnut! You’re my favorite channel to have on while I fiddle around in my shop. Growing in my journey and having your channel has helped me out so much, just in refining my art in general. Thank you! Big fan!
Wingnut. Thank you for continuing to produce great videos actually MAKING THINGS. Not endless tool reviews. Not "every beginner must..." But great projects and ideas. Love this channel.
Wingnut, I am a 41 year old who has always been interested in building smalls I enjoy it. My problem was always confidence though (which sucks cause I've noticed my daughter being the same way) it wasn't until I started watching your channel that I've realized I can do alot more than I ever thought I could. Your channel has helped my mind and confidence grow (which in turn has helped my daughter as well) I appreciate you and your channel so much so thank you. OFF TO THE SHOP FOR THE NEXT BUILD
Wingnut your videos are amazing. Not only do I get inspiration for fun do-able projects, but you are so encouraging and have such a positive attitude about trying new things and having confidence in ourselves. You are doing much more here than teaching us how to build things out of wood :-)
Wingnut. Thanks for the video, but I really want to thank you primarily for the encouraging woods of motivation you give us. These are all great projects that can easily be personalized and made a tiny bit different. They're all great crate or palette wood builds as well.
Wingnut. In the town I live in, they have spring clean up, and I go around and pick up all kinds of reclaimed wood. I really enjoy your videos and the fact that you help people price items that will sell. Thank you for sharing!
Wingnut. I started watching your videos 2-3 years ago and you got me hooked. I knew I wanted to make things to sell but didn't know what. Then I saw one of your "smalls" videos. It wasn't so much what you were specifically suggesting to make but rather the concept. I went all in and have not looked back. I started an Etsy shop 16 months ago. I had no luck on FB or at a local pop-up market. I started with some wood crafty items but then added some bird and squirrel feeders. The original items still haven't sold but the feeders took off, pun intended. I added some jack o' lanterns last July and they sold well, too. The feeders and jack o' lanterns are all made from cedar fence pickets. I've sold almost 450 items since I started. I average 25-30 sales a month. I was hoping the wood crafty items would sell. I had no idea the feeders would be so popular. They sell all year, too. Bird houses are more seasonal, unless they're intended to be decorative. Birds and squirrels gotta eat all year. I sold 66 feeders last November. 25 over the Thanksgiving weekend alone. I had over 30 orders in January. Thanks for the inspiration, Matthew. I am so glad I discovered your channel.
Wingnut....I appreciate your positivity and encouragement. This is most of the reason I have subscribed to you from way back. Thanks for what you do and I'm always ready for your next video...my kids are too.
MY OH MY MR. PEACH!!! Thanks for the memories! I made and sold a crap load of those "Planter Swings" in the late 70's! Nice to see an old item come back after 50 years...
Wingnut. Look forward to your Christmas ideas every year. My husband made a simple graduated tree set we watched from you and gave them for gifts, we got 100% affirmative 👍 Thanks, don’t ever stop
Thanks for that talk about believing in yourself. I've been in this funk tou speak of. I desperately needed to hear this. You are a treasure. Thank you and God bless
What I appreciate most about our Mr Peech is that he completely convinces me that I can do these projects. And then… I do. A fool’s confidence, it may be. But as a fool, I am convinced. Profound gratitude, Mr. Peech!!! And, yes: wingnut. I watched.
Wingnut- I’m a 40 year old man, just getting into woodworking. Thank you for your inspiring words and encouragement! My 17 year old nephew and I have been selling the snot out of your 3 picket planter boxes. Keep up the great videos!
Wingnut I've watched all you videos and sir you have a talent. Been a carpenter for 30 years and its time for me to find an easier way. Thanks Matt for all the ideas
Your inspirational dialogue has once again inspired me. I’m back at it, and I’ll carve your dialogue and hang it in my garage by my CNC! Not everything I make has to be done on my machine. I make 50/50 on CNC stuff and smalls!
Wingnut. I'm a 60 yo that loves crafting, working with wood. I run an website and Etsy shop, selling the things I make. I enjoy your videos for ideas that I can adapt to my laser projects.
Wingnut! Thank you for posting all these projects. It is a little bit of passion of mine. I don’t have a lot of tools, but you give me a lot of great ideas.
Wingnut. I'm an aspiring woodworker and I am nearly finished building my first all hand tools workbench strictly using hand tools. It has been a challenge in the SE Texas heat this summer without A/C, but I'm nearly there. I've made various pieces of outdoor and indoor furniture for friends and family, but I'm contemplating taking it to the next level with farmer's markets and what not. I don't have any stock built up yet, but I'm inspired by your videos and hope to take some of your ideas as inspiration for my own projects. Thank you for what you do Mr. Peech. I really enjoy your content and the way you convey your ideas and methods.
Wingnut love the squirrel feeders they look awesome. I am a 61yo who had to retire recently due to health concerns. I will definitely be trying out some of your projects. Take care fella....best wishes from Scotland 🏴🏴
Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.
Thanks. I needed that. I doubt myself a lot.
Wingnut, I am 73 and still making smalls from reclaimed pallets. Since I work in a plant maintenance dept. my supply of wood is endless. Was overwhelmed with request for squirrel feeders and childrens picnic tables. Doing those projects did a great deal in boosting my sense of worth and actually kicked the "old man" from my life. thank you

Wingnut. I'm a 61 yo almost retired woman who has been knocking things together all my life. I found your channel last year and am having fun with the smalls.
Very nice! Keep it up
Amazing! I’m 60 yo retired wingnut women that just discovered this channel looking for some Christmas fair ideas. ❤️
So 61 yo women enjoy smalls? I’ve been after the wrong age group 🤔.
Same here 66 in Wales UK .. just retired enjoying being in the shed
@@thesinaclwon you are hilarious! 😂🤣😂
best opening ever, felt like i just went to church. i need this inspiration in my life
Thanks. My goal is to not just teach woodworking...but motivate folks to give it a try... or anything in life. Spread positive vibes.
For real. Been really struggling lately with trying to get my business going. May save this and keep going back to it
Wingnut - For a live edge hanging shelf I took a live edge board, cut it into three different lengths (about 9", 11" & 13") and drilled a hole in the back of each dead center. Then I put a Hillman 3 prong nut in the hole and screwed in a hanger bolt (bolt on one end and lag bolt on the other). Simply drill a hole in the wall where the stud is and "screw" the shelf into the wall until flush. I wrapped them together with twine to sell as a set with a typed note card with the instructions (hole size to drill is important). Scrap turned shelves.

Exactly! It's nuts how people want to be negative instead of building you up. Even family. I think some people are afraid that you'll succeed. Never forget... a goal is a dream with a deadline. keep it up!
Wingnut! Thank you for your videos. You inspired a mid-60's year old woman to try woodworking for the first time in my life. Please keep encouraging people. We hear you!
That is awesome to hear, you can do it!
Wingnut. I'm a 60 year old woman who has been wood crafting for a while and I enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you.
Knowledge is power. Thank you for the support!
Wingnut. 49 year old learner. (Yeah, that’s a word.) Matt, you inspire me to try, and I thank you for that, Sir.
WINGNUT
I've been watching for awhile. After watching your video on starter tools I've begun buying some tools. I'll be starting to make the Christmas Tree and Snowflake patterns soon. I'm a 68 year old recently retired female and am excited to begin!
Very nice! Keep it up. You've got this!
Wingnut, thanks for the encouraging words man
Always!
Wingnut!!! Pushing out the negative is how I have to live right now and have been for awhile. I'm not the best at anything I make or fix for others, but I enjoy it all . I'm a scrapper of all sorts of things and get looked down on daily, never thought I'd be where I am at my age. But I do what I can.. Your words are an awesome reminder!! Thank you very much!!
That's how it has to be. I was looked down on my whole life... and even now. Like you I'm not a master of anything. Just handy. I grew up scrapping and still do. When I go to the dump sometimes I leave with more stuff than I went with😂. Dumpster diving... count me in. Let them talk.
Wingnut. Taking us to church with that intro Matt. Great pep talk. Ty 🙏
Thank you!!
Wingnut taught me to see how things are assembled and break it down to smaller steps. Works great even when not woodworking.
Yes! It gets you thinking.
Wingnut. No one has ever been successful by giving up. Thank you Matt for your inspirational words and ideas.
My wife thought I was a wingnut when I went on a four hour round trip to pick up a bunch of 12 inch wide 90 year old pine boards from a property some 5 miles away from where she grew up - without any idea of what I might do with it. I now have an idea. Thanks! 👊
Lol perfect!
wingnut! I'm 59 years old disabled and enjoy working in my shop until my body says it's done. Love working with wood creating things. My favorite is just the beauty of wood. Man, it can really blow your mind sometimes.
Wingnut- I made myself some pallet coasters out of cedar to go on my patio. I love them ❤️😅
Lol. Actually I have gotten several messages from folks that love them! Just shows it's all about what others like if your selling them. Now I may have to make a set.
Wingnut. I’m 78 yo and have learned a bunch from your channel. Thanks, and keep the smalls coming.
100% 100% 100% on your pep talk at the start. The whole world it seems, has a dark negative cloud over it that is trying to drag us all down. I'm taking your advice and getting out there. Subscribed from the UK. Thank you for the positivity & for the videos 🙏👍
Absolutely. Thank you for watching and welcome!
Wingnut… I’m a 60 year old retired worker in a rut looking for something to help make me more money.
Looking for something that creates a passion in me.
I love your videos and watch them all.
Great inspiration! 🙏❤️👍
Hopefully this helps. Keep pushing.
Wingnut. Hi Matt, Im a 41/f and I do my best to tey to get out into my little shop and make things when I can. I started woodworking several years ago and fell in love with just making things for family and my wife for around the house. I love your channel and the idea of smalls that sell. I hope to move to the selling arena in the next couple years after life slows down a bit. I love the positivity. The world needs more of it! Thank you! 😊
Yes it does. We all need to spread it. And keep it up! Even when your making items for family and friends your growing your skills and creativity!
Wingnut! I’m a 59 yr old male. Have worked my full time job for just over 38 yrs. I’ve been doing woodworking for almost 30 yrs. I’ve done smalls, crafts, small furniture(end tables/coffee tables). Love the channel! Have been watching since your original garden trellis video. Keep up the great videos! And thanks for always encouraging us!
Thank you for sticking around, it means a lot to me.
Funny as a wingnut!...When this video first started playing, I paused it and mentioned to my wife that I always get a ton more than "just" woodworking out of watching you; that a lot of what you say beyond instructions is applicable throughout life, rather than just in the shop. Then, you immediately turned around and said, almost verbatim, the exact same thing I'd just told her! I'm coming on 62 and looking to retire very soon...life at sea has lost its' luster!...woodworking has always been an interest of mine, even if I'm not terribly good at it, but I intend to put in a lot of practice in the near future! Stay Safe!
That's so great. I would always "sneak" in lil bits about confidence and pushing yourself... but on this one I was tired of "sneaking" lil things in. Someone out there needed a kick in the butt... lol. So I just decided to speak my mind.
Well said Brother Mr.Peach here is what you see is what you get kind of guy. I have not ever heard a cross word come either like some,which is ok for them lol . Enjoy and Peace
Wingnut! I am a 60-year-old entrepreneur in the making, I started my maker business late last year and love learning, I use resin, clay, textiles, wood or paper.
Go to the markets and sell my wares, thank you Matthew for your wise advice and love the ideas. It's always fun.
That is awesome! Best of luck to you.
Wingnut
As always, appreciate you for what you give to our community. With the fall / winter coming up, I can see the porch swing planters selling well.
Oh yea. I think they will do well. Thank you!!
Wingnut, I'm 62 and have loved working with wood all my life but I am just now trying to build me a little woodworking shop. I love you're informative videos and appreciated very much the time that you put into each one. Thank You and keep them coming !
It is my pleasure. Best of luck to you!
Wingnut. Thanks! We all need a little pep talk now and again!
I hope that it helped. Always believe in yourself.
Wingnut 49yr old truck driver, 26 years OTR. Looking for a hobby to keep myself busy while at home.
I had great reactions from the ketchup and mustard picnic table, but I didn't start making them till after July 4th. (I'll be ready next year).
Almost time to start making Christmas stuff, people will be spending money soon!!
Take care Matt! Keep it up!
Being ahead of the seasons/holidays is very useful. Good luck moving forward, you got this.
Wingnut - The swing planter idea is cool. I may have to make that one TODAY!
My wife loves that lil thing with those weird lil plants in it. 😬
Most people call me a wingnut but I was thinking you could make a succulent bench instead of a swing just by making the arm supports longer! Love this video series
I like that idea. Give it a try! Thanks for watching!
Wingnut - You're the inspiration Matt! 46 sales on my Etsy shop w/ a very hopeful outlook for the future. It's tough, lots to learn, but so neat to experience. It's true, you just have to start and stay committed.
You are so right! Keep it up!
Wingnut woodworkers sometimes need to hear that few minutes of motivational talk. If you are trying to sell your work, all of those observations were on point. Thanks!
Really enjoy the projects.
Very true. Thank you!
Wingnut. I'm also 60 year old, not sure how that happened but here I am. Looking to change what I've been doing for 40 years and create some cool stuff. I love the channel, keep it up!
Thanks for watching!
Wingnut, we love your videos. We have watched you and have been patrion members for a while. You are very inspirational. Last year my sister was staying with us and we were watching your videos. She thought you were awesome, so she went home, watched all of your videos and is learning woodworking. Thank you for the inspiration.
That's so awesome! So glad to help in any way. Keep it up!
I would definitely watch a video from you about your projects that didn't sell, why they didn't sell and how you reworked the problem. I feel like your insight and opinions are top tier and could help a lot of people.
I will keep this in mind. Thank you for the support.
wingnut. Always get great ideas from this series of videos. Please keep making them. Thanks.
Thanks! I'll keep making them as long as folks keep wanting them!
Wingnut here. I'm in my late 50's. I see I'm not the only one in this general age bracket appreciating your work. In my case I have come to realize that I need to supplement my income. I'm hoping that woodworking is the ticket. Twenty years ago I began the woodworking hobby but circumstances forced me to stop after a year or so. I was in it long enough to know I enjoy it so I'm looking forward to getting back into it. Thanks for the positivity and ton of great ideas. You're doing great work for so many. That's how to live right.
Thank you for the kind words. You got this! I believe in you.
Wingnut- Thank you Matthew for what you do. I love your positivity and passion. I've made three squirrel picnic tables and two of the decorative garden trellis obelisks, even had a neighbor comment on it. I look forward to your videos every Sunday.
Thank you!
Wingnut. Love your inspiration and your videos. I’m one of those people you have talked about. Disabled. I’ve done some of those projects. Some of them are just not possible for me. Like my grandpa used to say “ the bad thing about youth is it’s wasted on the young “. I look forward to seeing your videos.
Just keep doing. You've got this!
Wing nut-I love the many different ideas you put out in your videos. Not just the technique but the emotion and desire to help people beyond just making something. Thank you!
Thank you!
Wing nut. I’m 66 years old and retired. Woodworking is a hobby and a source of extra income. Thanks for the ideas and plans.
Thanks for the support.
Wing nut. So it has been really hard for me. Just got done with surgery to fix some nerve damage. While away at that all my wood working tools were stolen and my dog was bitten by a spider and died before I could get him to the vet. But listening to your montage at the beginning of your video really helped me. Thanks. And keep up the great work. It helps to at least distract people for a bit and get them thinking of other things. I appreciate it.
I'm sorry to hear this. You can rise from this, just keep going. I appreciate your support.
So sorry all this has happened to you. I hope healing is on the way
@@janesserearden7770 thank you
Wingnut......... I'm 71yrs old. Woodworking for over 50yrs. I've bought a few of your plans. really like your videos. Keep it up. Old timers like me like new ideas.
Awesome! Thank you!
Wingnuts are my favorite. It’s amazing what you did in this video. Loved it!
Thanks! Mine too!
Wingnut. I always enjoy your vids. I don't sell my projects. I give them as gifts. Last year I was too busy and ran out out of time. Some family members were a little disappointed. So I made a commitment to make gifts again. Your plans are always great and easy to follow. Thank you.
Wingnut I could watch you all day!! ❤😊❤
Thank you!
Wingnut. I've enjoyed building your projects and even bought a couple sets of plans (not that I follwed them to the letter). Next weekend at a family event, I'll be handing out 5 sets of the condiment picnic tables as gifts. Thanks for the constant inspiration!
Awesome! Thank you!
Wingnut! I am Kim in Central PA! Thank you for putting these videos out there and giving encouragement to try new things!
Hey Kim! No worries! It's what I do. 🙂
I'm in south central PA, York, PA 😊
Wingnut! Cheers! Disabled Vet here who loves woodworking. Lots of great ideas. Thanks for the videos.
Hallelujah 🙌🏻!!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I was owing a loan of $49,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery, Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $11,000 and got my payout of $290,500 every month…God bless Mrs Susan Jane Christy ❤️
Hello!! how do you make such monthly, I’m a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself 😭 because of low finance but I still believe God
Hi that's good you have idea &share to those who deserve it that's great god bless🙏🙏
She's a licensed broker here in the states🇺🇸 and finance advisor.
After I raised up to 525k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my son's surgery….Glory to God, shalom.
Can I also do it??? My life is facing lots of challenges lately
Wingnut.
As a backyard tinkerer I love this channel and always get great ideas and positive encouragement. A pleasure every time I see a new upload show up in my feed.
I'm glad I am able to help out. Thanks for the support.
Wingnut, ty for creating this space for us. I never miss a video of yours and have tried almost every project you have presented. I have expanded my business to 2 cities, and have hired my nephew to help me build. It was your inspiration that convinced him that woodwoking wasnt a nerdy venture, and he is a natural at it. He will go far. Thank you for being you
That's great to hear! Best of luck for you all.
Wingnut !
Haha, we called a friend that name as a kid and it still has stuck to this day.😂
Gets variations of it still 50 years later !😂
Wingnut. Loved your opening speech. I'm working on the confidence to get in my shop and have it make money for me. Right now it's a catch all! Pool gear, Halloween props, and just crap. I've had a lot happen to me the past few years including losing my father.
Can't seem to get ME back.
Love what you do and your message.
I was in a very similar situation and can wholeheartedly relate to your position. Let me tell you. Go make something, anything! Whether its a path to the table, or the little succulent swing, get in your shop and do it! Make a little room today, make a little more tomorrow. Your father will absolutely be thrilled to see you pick yourself up, and he can say to all the other fathers in heaven above, that's my son! Instead of thinking "I'm not good enough" try "I'm not good enough, but I know that if I do these things I will be." Hope that helps you.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You CAN do this, I believe in you.
Wingnut!! You're amazing 👏 You have been a great inspiration, teacher, entertainer, and motivator. Thank you and please keep them coming!
Will Do! Thanks for supporting the channel!
Wingnut, Thanks for your great videos and encouragement. I just started woodworking a couple of years ago when I retired and now I'm hooked. Thanks for the great ideas.
Very nice! Thanks for the support.
Wingnut. You're the man, I recently got back into woodworking and didn't know where to start. Your videos are really inspiring.
Awesome, thank you!
Wingnut! You’re my favorite channel to have on while I fiddle around in my shop. Growing in my journey and having your channel has helped me out so much, just in refining my art in general. Thank you! Big fan!
Awesome! Thank you!
Wingnut. Thank you for continuing to produce great videos actually MAKING THINGS. Not endless tool reviews. Not "every beginner must..." But great projects and ideas. Love this channel.
Anything I can do to help, thank you for the support.
Wingnut, I am a 41 year old who has always been interested in building smalls I enjoy it. My problem was always confidence though (which sucks cause I've noticed my daughter being the same way) it wasn't until I started watching your channel that I've realized I can do alot more than I ever thought I could. Your channel has helped my mind and confidence grow (which in turn has helped my daughter as well) I appreciate you and your channel so much so thank you.
OFF TO THE SHOP FOR THE NEXT BUILD
That's great to hear. Your mind is your most powerful tool. Keep on pushing.
Wingnut your videos are amazing. Not only do I get inspiration for fun do-able projects, but you are so encouraging and have such a positive attitude about trying new things and having confidence in ourselves. You are doing much more here than teaching us how to build things out of wood :-)
Thank you so much!
Wingnut. Just letting you know I be watching, learning and enjoying .😊
I appreciate what you're doing ❤
Wingnut.
Thanks for the video, but I really want to thank you primarily for the encouraging woods of motivation you give us. These are all great projects that can easily be personalized and made a tiny bit different. They're all great crate or palette wood builds as well.
My pleasure. You are absolutely right!
Wingnut. In the town I live in, they have spring clean up, and I go around and pick up all kinds of reclaimed wood. I really enjoy your videos and the fact that you help people price items that will sell. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for all the encouragement in addition to the excellent series of projects - the power of smalls.
Wingnut. I started watching your videos 2-3 years ago and you got me hooked. I knew I wanted to make things to sell but didn't know what. Then I saw one of your "smalls" videos. It wasn't so much what you were specifically suggesting to make but rather the concept. I went all in and have not looked back.
I started an Etsy shop 16 months ago. I had no luck on FB or at a local pop-up market. I started with some wood crafty items but then added some bird and squirrel feeders. The original items still haven't sold but the feeders took off, pun intended. I added some jack o' lanterns last July and they sold well, too. The feeders and jack o' lanterns are all made from cedar fence pickets. I've sold almost 450 items since I started. I average 25-30 sales a month.
I was hoping the wood crafty items would sell. I had no idea the feeders would be so popular. They sell all year, too. Bird houses are more seasonal, unless they're intended to be decorative. Birds and squirrels gotta eat all year. I sold 66 feeders last November. 25 over the Thanksgiving weekend alone. I had over 30 orders in January.
Thanks for the inspiration, Matthew. I am so glad I discovered your channel.
Wingnut....I appreciate your positivity and encouragement. This is most of the reason I have subscribed to you from way back. Thanks for what you do and I'm always ready for your next video...my kids are too.
Haha! Thank you to your whole family.
MY OH MY MR. PEACH!!! Thanks for the memories! I made and sold a crap load of those "Planter Swings" in the late 70's! Nice to see an old item come back after 50 years...
Wingnut. Very much a beginner, these videos are encouraging.
You can do it
Wing nut! Thanks for the "rant"..encouragement is appreciated. Still trying to sell my first piece.
It will be the first of very many. You got this!
Wingnut. Look forward to your Christmas ideas every year. My husband made a simple graduated tree set we watched from you and gave them for gifts, we got 100% affirmative 👍 Thanks, don’t ever stop
Thanks for that talk about believing in yourself. I've been in this funk tou speak of. I desperately needed to hear this. You are a treasure. Thank you and God bless
WINGNUT! That's what I used to call my little brother! LOLOL
😂
Wingnut. I loved woodshop in school. I don't make anything now. I just like watching your show.
You should give it a try again
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking I should! :)
Wingnut. Love your videos and the positivity of this one was nothing short of awesome. Glad to see others encourage each other.
Thank you for watching. Positivity is what we all need.
Wingnut- I love watching these videos, thanks for all you do! My wife likes when I build some of the projects in your videos.
Thank you for watching!
Wing nut. Thank you for your ideas, your positive outlook, and your encouragement.
Thank you for the support!
What I appreciate most about our Mr Peech is that he completely convinces me that I can do these projects. And then… I do. A fool’s confidence, it may be. But as a fool, I am convinced. Profound gratitude, Mr. Peech!!! And, yes: wingnut. I watched.
Thank you!
Wingnut- I’m a 40 year old man, just getting into woodworking. Thank you for your inspiring words and encouragement! My 17 year old nephew and I have been selling the snot out of your 3 picket planter boxes. Keep up the great videos!
That is awesome!
Wingnut I've watched all you videos and sir you have a talent. Been a carpenter for 30 years and its time for me to find an easier way. Thanks Matt for all the ideas
Thank you!
Wingnut. Self confidence is key
Your inspirational dialogue has once again inspired me. I’m back at it, and I’ll carve your dialogue and hang it in my garage by my CNC! Not everything I make has to be done on my machine. I make 50/50 on CNC stuff and smalls!
Wingnut. I'm a 60 yo that loves crafting, working with wood. I run an website and Etsy shop, selling the things I make. I enjoy your videos for ideas that I can adapt to my laser projects.
Thanks for watching. Good luck with it all.
Loved to see, no pun intended, that blind woodworker you got
I have a video where I talk about him and introduce him. Hes amazing
Wingnut! Thank you for posting all these projects. It is a little bit of passion of mine. I don’t have a lot of tools, but you give me a lot of great ideas.
Wing nut! Love your content. I just learned my mother has been watching you as well. God bless
Awesome! Thank you!
Wingnut. I'm an aspiring woodworker and I am nearly finished building my first all hand tools workbench strictly using hand tools. It has been a challenge in the SE Texas heat this summer without A/C, but I'm nearly there. I've made various pieces of outdoor and indoor furniture for friends and family, but I'm contemplating taking it to the next level with farmer's markets and what not. I don't have any stock built up yet, but I'm inspired by your videos and hope to take some of your ideas as inspiration for my own projects. Thank you for what you do Mr. Peech. I really enjoy your content and the way you convey your ideas and methods.
Wingnut love the squirrel feeders they look awesome. I am a 61yo who had to retire recently due to health concerns. I will definitely be trying out some of your projects. Take care fella....best wishes from Scotland 🏴🏴
