- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Grow your woodworking business with "smalls"! Ready for part 2!?! Often times smaller items are looked over by new builders because they are looking for that build that will bring in a nice profit. In this video, I discuss the power of smalls. 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 very little cost of goods sold!
Sometimes we overthink things when the most profitable items we are looking past. Let's change that.

Love this. In less than 60 days I’m quitting my full time corporate job and doing wood working as a means of income. I want more time with my family and more control of our future. Thanks for the videos
Wish you good luck sir!!! 💪🙌
Man, I hope that works out for you! Keep us updated
good luck !! thinking about that myself!
Need an update!
How's it going?
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
Focusing on lower-cost higher volume things like this is also going to let you greatly expand your market. The amount of people who would want a $1000 piece of furniture are harder to come by than how many people could drop $30 on something they thing is cute.
Exactly Denman.
And people who are going to drop $1000 aren't likely to be at a craft fair, or event like that very often.
Hundreds of TH-camrs that talk and talk to show you how much they know and their knowledge. Only one that talk straight to the point to teach US how to make money and that's you my man 💪. I really enjoy and appreciate EVERY SINGLE video.
Thanks so much for your kind words Arnaldo. That's why I started this channel... To honestly teach from my experiences... to help motivate and let people know that anything is possible... You may have to get creative... but it's possible. Thanks for watching!
I don't think I've ever subscribed so quickly to a channel. I'm a new mom, and my husband and I live far from family, so I only work on days my husband is off. I've been looking for a creative outlet that would let me also make a little money and THIS just feels right. I've always loved working with my hands and can't wait to make a few of these items.
Welcome to the community! So glad to have you. You are going to love it. It’s a wonderful outlet and great side hustle if you want it to be.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking thank you!
My dad died feuding with his brother over petty nonsense and greed. Before they started feuding, my uncle recommended that my dad use his limited but practical woodworking and welding skills into being productive with our comparitive to the neighborhood larger backyard. Building upstate NY mountain style deck reclining chairs was suggested. Pre cov, rich fools were spending 400 a chair and we have a near by lumber yard. Knowing my dad he could have pumped out alot of chairs in the good weather days and saved the scraps for smalls. He would have outperform his brother's monthly side Hustles and reinvest into something useful like another house. Instead he didn't listen and died poor. Don't be like him, don't waste your skills on blind hate when you can openly spite them with productivity.
I'm a wounded vet and can't do a regular job. I love creating with wood and hope to be able to supplement my income with your absolutely brilliant, informative, and just awesome creations and advice. I love your knowledge, passion and business insights. Keep'em comin' brother! And thank you!
I am a disabled vet with narcolepsy. I can not work a regular job, but want to try something like this.
@@roberthicks1612 I have been reclaiming used pallet lumber, I just saw the boards free. Short pieces are most of what I need to build almost anything! Best wishes and prayers in these hard times!
Thank you for serving!❤ I’m a disabled vet as well and need to supplement my income. Only issue is I’m losing grip in my dominant hand because of a neck injury. I love the idea of smalls and hoping my less dominant hand can work well enough to get some things started. ❤
@@b.l.wilson9724 Keep up the good fight Brother. I hope the loss of feeling stops soon and you don't loose the use of your entire hand. I only have two fingers on my right hand but have to compensate. I hope that you will as well and be able to continue with your passion.
Pro Patria, honour and strength.
@@boxbreaker4863 thank you. 🙏🏾❤️
Good afternoon, Matt. In recent months my home restoration business has taken off again; so I am doing smaller builds in the workshop. My favorite (and most profitable) project is the garden trellis you recently remade the video on. I'm actually using pressure treated fence pickets so my build cost is less than $5! I've sold nearly 200 trellises at $25 each! The best part is that I have a free spot right next to a very busy road in my hometown to set up a sell my items on the weekends!
Man that is sooooo awesome! And yes! I've commentented several times on using fence pickets! Actually the next video will show what I made out of fence pickets that costs less than a 2x4 and lowes sells for over $100! Congrats on the sells and way to improvise!!!
Irs is watching…
So you literally work for nothing… 20$ sales -5$ material leaves you 15$ to pick up the material, cut, drill, assemble + take time out of your day to sell them… assuming you do things right you have taxes coming out off your profit as well
@@martin8829 It seems you're missing the idea of mass production.
You broke down his profit per item.
It doesn't work that way.
1 trip to the store. All materials picked-up(not an extra trip, you go when you NEED to) If you have it on order, it's ready to go when you get there.
At the shop is where the real time is saved.
Every cut is reproduced quickly , production style. You could cut all the pieces in one shift. For all 200 trellises.
A couple more shifts to produce them.
That's not much work for $4000 gross profit.
@@cattleNhay The point? As I once told a loan officer when questioned about depositing cash in my bank account when she was saying some nonsense like, "It's illegal to do that." I could not help myself, "Do not say stupid statements. What is illegal is not reporting your income. I also collect cash for my rental properties and deposit that money, too. If someone writes me a bad check, then we are on a cash basis moving forward. Check our Income Tax statements and you will see we Legally paid tax on the cast received. NOT reporting it would have been illegal since we have made money." Who cares if the IRS is reading these posts? They have to pay tax on what they earn and spend as well.
I watch your videos over and over to help inspire and get me all motivated. You're like the Tony Robins of wood workers. 👍🏽🤙🏽
Congratulations. I'm so glad this channel is growing so well, great to see a channel get the recognition they deserve.
Thank you very much!
Thank you! These ideas are so inspiring! Each year I custom paint Easter eggs for the family and have made display racks as gifts, but as I near retirement, I 'll need to ramp up on the smalls from scrap for some extra cash. These are great!
I’m binge watching your videos.
I'm digging these ideas, Matthew. Thanks!
I've been making bottle openers, ones with metal inserts that are handheld, and ones that are mounted on the wall with a bin for bottle caps at the bottom. They're quick to make and easy to sell.
Thank you for doing these videos. I'm looking at starting my own business and the advice you are giving is super valuable. Especially to those of us just starting out.
No worries! Im just going off of the years of trials, failures, and success! If I can save some folks the middle part starting out maybe they will stick with this awesome trade!
I like your videos, I make wood flags signs acustic phone amplifiers cup holders serving trays and noodle boards, I see what your saying about smalls, my large 36 by 19" flags sell for 200.00 and my least expensive item is a book holder 10.00. I'm looking forward to the next craft fair.
Billy Bob Thornton has a TH-cam Channel!
Your videos always give me so many ideas I can do in my small shop. Thank you for the great content.
Great to hear Andrew! Write them down man because they are money makers!
Matt - your videos have been the inspiration I needed to get back into the shop. Smalls are my jam!! There is something very satisfying to me to see finished product. Coasters, bottle openers, recipe book holders, Christmas card holders, candle holders, etc. and with my own twist are filling up my shelves and starting to go out to customers. I've actually made everything over the last month from scraps and material, including hardware, that I already had in the shop. Also, its great to read the comments that your community of followers post to your videos. I've grabbed some ideas about product and the business in general along the way. #gotwood #dirtywood #usedwood #smallsbutnotsmallwood #peach #choosehappy
4:44...I just looked up this ladder on Pottery Barn Canada and I was SHOCKED !!!
$268 PLUS TAX AND SHIPPING.....we get so screwed here in the Great White North.
Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences with us. I try to absorb as much info as possible with each video, there is so much to learn. Your demeanor really helps get things across and I really do enjoy and look forward to each video. 👍👍
Thanks for watching Franklin! Glad that you like it!
For paint, hit your big box and local paint stores and buy their mistints. Pennies on the dollar.
Heck yea. Great tip!
What’s the story on that crazy looking chest of drawers behind you? I like it!
My goodness Mr Peech - these "smalls" videos are incredible! Thank you so much for putting your time into this content.
No worries!
Had a guy who owned an antique shop. He told me if you can’t get into a cars truck don’t bring to me
Interesting! I make crooks, market sticks and other kinds of sticks here in the UK. My sticks are carefully crafted entirely by hand and finished with oils. Many stick makers follow the same process. At a county show a few years ago I witnessed a stick maker displaying is beautiful selection for sale with price tags of around £150 each and he sold one - all day - and had to negotiate down on the price to get the deal. In another area of the same show on the same day was a guy with bins full of 'rough-cut' sticks; not straightened, mostly green wood, not sanded... in fact nothing more than a stick cut out of a hedge. His 'walking sticks' were advertised at just £5... and he'd sold over one hundred by lunchtime.
Matt, I just want to thank you for your videos. On the 7th of April 2014, I was forced to make the decision to put my mother in an assisted home or shut down my fairly new business to take care of her after she was diagnosed with Dementia and Alzheimers. The obvious choice is mom comes first, and so I shut the doors to take care of mom. All the while thinking. No big deal I can go back to work anytime, being I have been in construction my entire life since the age of 14. Here it is 8 years later getting ready to turn 58 in May and reality hit and hit hard and got me thinking. I'm too damn old to start all over again from scratch. And one day as I was practicing my lines " High, welcome to Walmart" or "Would you like that Super Sized?" preparing for the very real possibility of what kind of job I will be able to get at my age while watching TH-cam with an adult beverage ( Jack Daniels). One of your videos popped up and caught my attention so I watched it. And for the past few weeks, I've been checking out your videos. It never dawned on me that I have a bunch of materials leftover from jobs I've done and tools that are just sitting and collecting dust and rust and not being used. And now kicking myself in the butt for not thinking of doing this myself for the past 8 years. And chances are I probably could have had close to $500,000.00 in the bank by now working from home doing this. Thank you for saving me from the Walmart Greeters position and or bail money for when I pull some smart-ass teenager over the counter for a lesson on how to respect his elders. Again thank you, sir.
I congratulate you on your choices and demeanor .... all the best
@@thefifthwave7761 Thank you.
Oh how I wish I could get a get out of jail free card and do exactly as you explained on teaching the new disrespectful punks some manners . I fear for my kids future on how these kids are acting and not having any respect for not just the elderly but peoples property . I want to make the statement that Not all kids are bad .
You ever think of writing? You have a way with words and drawing people in. 😂 Best of luck in the building endeavor, you should do well!
Matt pretty cool smalls video > it's like I've always said " You could put a turd on a stick and someone will buy it " Use That Imagination Son , I'm a old time woodworker and I still have some of the bigger pieces just sitting around , started back making barometer stick's inserted in wood , simple yes but people love the ole time weather gadgets , Jeff D.
Keep up the good work bro!
I've got to get better at using my scrap. I've got piles I stumble over building other items. How do you organize your scraps so you can just grab and build smalls? Or do you build the smalls as you make the scraps?
Scrap? Whats that... no I have wire shelves to organize it laying flat and for the long thing pcs I put them in a tall skinny trash can upright. Large round cardboard concrete molds are perfect too.
Hello, at 5:53 how do you determine the length of each piece that you have to cut to duplicate that?
Matt, this is my first video, and I'm not even 3 minutes in and I'm like this guy's got my subscription right away. You're to the point. No nonsense and you're genuine. I look forward to checking out the rest of your videos. God bless my friend.
Partner, I just want to thank you for being just simply a good dude!! And I don't give that sentiment to just anybody! I've watched you give of your time and knowledge to help us less knowledgeable and I truly thank you!! I know the more subs and likes you get the better for you and you should get more!!! I haven't built any thing yet but I'm buying material today for the small concealment shelf and I know my family will love it !! I will love it!!! You'll be blessed for giving!!
Video idea. Day in the life at a show. Getting ready, setting up, sales progress during the show, breaking down and a summary of what went well and what did not.
Shawn "Murder Nova" Ellington quit racing and started widdling. jk. all love.
Bahaha. I love it.
Smalls will also be more likely to sell for cash so the IRS Gestapo won't be able to shake you down for a $600 Venmo transaction.
I have always thought a barber is an awesome skilled job. Lots of cash transactions, no raw materials need to be bought and almost impossible to prove the income.
Nice video. I've been in that same rut of making large pieces of furniture and not being able to sell them for what I'm asking. My uncle suggested I make birdhouses. So I made about 30 birdhouses and bird feeders of all different styles and shapes. Painted some and left some in it's natural patina. Of course this is all old reclaimed barn wood, that's my style that's all I use for my projects. And most of the bird houses/feeders are scrap pieces left over from my large tables, shelves, bed frames etc etc.
Well I parked on the side of the hwy where I always park and I sold every one of those bird houses. I mean a few people bought several at a time. I was asked to make more and they'd come back and buy them! And I sold a couple of my larger pieces to boot. so I'm focused on making smaller items like the birdhouses and some of your suggestions as well!
Thanks
use the small items to sell the larger ones.
Back in the day I tallied up all the consent forms from a tattoo shop I worked at. By far the biggest chunk of our sales were $40 shop minimums. Smalls are good for business!
Hey Matt thanks for re-inspiring me used to do this for a long time actually even opened up my own antique store ended up getting out haven’t done it for a while saw some of your videos and we are thinking about getting back into it and you are 100% correct I built quite a few large pieces of furniture but mostly we would try and find small stuff to sell because that’s what held us over so now we’re considering doing just a bunch of small stuff and if the right opportunity comes along I will jump on a big piece hopefully it will allow me to get a full blown woodworking shop open back up again right now all my stuff is just sitting in a warehouse😢
That actually sounds familiar... I once had an antique store. What I figured out was that I could make more by not having a store front and selling online. Less overhead. Get back into it! Just use a different strategy. You've got this!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking Hey Matt I appreciate the encouragement I may have to get with you and find some other avenues online I’m kind of old not very tech savvy I’m getting ready to start a Facebook page after that I don’t have any other social media pages so maybe I will get with you one day and you can guide me in the right direction
@@scottdodson7122 You might find help at a senior center with computer stuff, or possibly the library. Go for it! You will get there!
Morning Matt, I love your videos. I got a question about the cracked dresser behind you.. any videos on this?
There’s a video back in some of my earliest videos. It shows the process I went through but not a ton of specifics.
I've been doing demolition for a decade.... Can't believe I never thought of saving barn wood and heritage house trim for projects like this... I've even seen slabs of live edge wood get thrown out and I never thought about doing anything with it... Till now
I so appreciate you doing this to help your fellow woodworkers. I have so much spare wood in the garden that is about to become a huge profit!
I just want to thank you, because I know you can make tons of money, selling your ideas, just like everybody else does........... thanks for giving us free hope to survive.
No worries Ramon. Thats why I got into this. You've got this my man.
I'm glad I came across your page man. I do alot of the big builds and have been for 6 years now but I've been wanting to do something more to be able to generate more income and I've heard from time to time that going small is better or that that's where the bread and butter is at! And similar to what you stated in part 1 video it definitely makes alot of sense I was always just brain fogged in thinking what other items can I do or create and man your videos seriously are 💯 helpful like you have no idea. Definitely motivating for me at least, and a push into the right direction for sure. Thank you for this information you laid out. 🙏🏼 👍🏼👍🏼
I really like where this channel is going. Many of the wood working channels get a little pretentious. The detailed build videos are great and the 'reality check' videos like this are also fantastic. I had never considered before basic stuff like squirrel benches. My motivation is largely to make stuff for my local animal shelter to auction off. If I can take $50 of materials and turn it into $500 for them in a weekend... Well that is just amazing. You have convinced me that the way to accomplish this goal is not in complex builds. Thank you!
Thanks! I like to cover aspects and strategies for all skill levels. But regardless in the end marketing is marketing. You build what you make the most profit from. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for all the great content! I would love to start a furniture business but I’m always so busy it would take me a month to do one piece. I have a ton of pallets and scrap wood that I could do a ton of smalls and make some money working 1-2hr after the kids are in bed every evening.
Thanks for the video, it’s inspired me with some ideas for a few projects.
Where have you had the best results selling these items ?
Awesome content again brother. Our first show is four weeks away. I’ve made ten of your trellises on the jig I made (two of them cedar). Starting on the smalls tomorrow with the cut offs from the trellises. Nervous energy but energy nonetheless. Keep on questioning why someone would buy from me when they can get it cheaper on Amazon. Got any advice to combat that negative thinking?
Because YOU made it. People know that half the crap that is on amazon is just that crap! They can see your product... touch it... and feel the quality! Good luck at the show!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking thanks for the mindset correction and the encouragement.
Just want to take the time and see thank you for all the great ideas you have given us. Being disabled of always try to wonder what extra things can I do that wouldn't injure my back, and your projects I just perfect. Thank you for what you do and continue to do what God has bless you to do
I stumbled across one of your videos and I'M HOOKED!!! My husband loves to play with wood and wants to learn more. You"ve totally inspired us and are grateful for kindness and sharing. Looking forward to watching more videos. Thank you.
Excellent vid sir. You have a talent for explaining things. Plus you have many tips for the little guy. I am one of those little guys. You have my subscription. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much Matt! I just made my first trellis yesterday 🎉 love your videos!
Fantastic!
The wall art is my main income source. I gifted one that I was experimenting with (made with ripped 2x4s and 2x6s I had salvaged), and people saw it and I had orders right away for half a dozen more. I mostly do them as commission pieces, and it's crazy how much someone will pay for a unique design that matches their decor.
I'm building up a stock of various sizes and designs also to put in an art booth at a fair this summer.
By the way, if you do these I've found it best to rip at about 1/2". I tried 1/4 and those tend to warp too much due to uneven drying, unless you have old dry salvage wood.
The distressed look also seems to sell best. Use a combo of stains, milk paint, salt effect, and even glue crackle.
Thank you for another great video.
Hi Matt, I love these ideas for small woodworking projects. I've been interested in getting into woodworking as a hobby/side hustle for a while now, but building furniture out of pallets and other scrap wood just seems so intimidating, and I would imagine they would be hard to sell just starting out. I might start making some of these smaller items, especially the seasonal items.
Dude! Thanks! Recently got canned from an oppressive woodshop job. Scrambling to make stuff to sell the tourists on Mem day. Got stacks of scrap wood I picked out of the garbage... Got some ideas to share w/ y'all as well.
Can you do a video about what kind of tools I'd need to do these small projects? I've been thinking about getting into woodworking just for myself, and then I came across your video. Haven't gotten started but would like to start the hobby but I'm not sure of all the tools I should get to start out with
Also maybe a video about good places to find these scraps, to find old fence posts, quarter rounds, etc
Like i siad in a previous video I love your intent. I'm binging everything. This is advice I'm taking I'm going to be making so many of this smalls. That k you so much I appreciate it. I have a extremely small shop like 8x8 shed. I need advice on some small tool. I really need a lunch ox style thickness planer. Thanks again
I live 4220ft on Cold Mountain NC in the thick of the Pisgah Forest. I own 20 acres of wooded land. Back in Dec of last year I became unemployed. I've been doing oddball jobs that pay me just enough to pay my bills. Tonight I thought to myself how can I utilize the resources I have on the property. I have endless amount of trees, leaves, rocks, creek stones. The thing is I've never tried wood working. But after watching your video you have me thinking how hard can this be? I guess the biggest road block that comes to mind is where do I sell my stuff? Flea market? Social Media? Or off the side of the road? Would I have to get a permanent? How do you price your products? Maybe you have a video explaining this stuff and I haven't seen it yet. But I'll definitely keep watching more of your videos. Thanks for the video, I subscribed 😊
Two questions:
1: What advice can you give to those who don't/can't drive, so can't hand-delivery, attend art markets etc?
2: What advice can you give about using postal service to deliver products? Where to get packaging, how to package stuff up safely...
I used to know 2 ladies who bought dining tables, end tables, etc, from the Amish. Then they cut quilt patterns out of various hardwood veneers, and glued the patterns onto the furniture tops. Incredibly beautiful, unique furniture. They sold them at flea markets and craft fairs.
what about yard Yahtzee cut off 5 3.5 pcs of 4x4, 1 drywall mud bucket a pickle bucket or one from Walmart lowes or the depot (They don't have to be 5 gallon buckets), and 1 Yahtzee pad. in the winter it can be played inside (if you have carpet or a garage...lol). How often can you get kids wanting to unplug.
I always feel an inner struggle to make these types of things because I can't fathom anyone actually buying it. It just seems so silly because of how simple they are. Part of it also feels disingenuous. I like the idea but I just feel like nobody would want these types of things in my area. I don't know how to overcome these feelings.
Might I suggest looking at some gift shops, garden/outdoor type places and see what 'small' items they are offering for sale. Copy a few of them, with your own 'twist' on them. Make something for gifting to some friends and a few to sell. Price them what the market will pay, not what it cost you to make. And if the widget you make doesn't sell, make something else, something easy and fun. You fail only if you quit before you succeed. Have fun.
I feel ya - I feel the same way. But people ARE interested in buying! Just step out on faith and do it - you'll find customers.
Hello Matt 👋 how can I get started. On a limited budget and only have a miter box, a jigsaw and a circular saw. What would you suggest I start with? I have a bit of knowledge with woodworking and have the time to invest, but limited money...I really appreciate how you explain the projects 😊 keep these videos coming. You have inspired me to take the leap into selling my hobby projects. Th a nk you ❤️ your channel. Many blessings to you and your family 👪
Great ideas! Thank you , new Subscriber here👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I made a few of the squirrel Adirondack chairs and trying to sale them for 20, but haven’t had any success. Everyone comments on them but no sells. Have you ever had that problem? I pitched the plans and you did a great job with the plans. Always love your videos.
I love owls! Great idea!
Thanks!
Thank you. I getting easily discouraged when it comes to making something from my heart and no one acknowledge it. The last part of the video is an encourager for sure for me.
Been thinking of doing this type of stuff for years now. Thanks for the insight. I'm going to say it... it took me maybe 2 minutes to realize the familiarity of your looks and voice... Billy Bob Thornton. I swear you could be his son! Enjoyed the video. New subscriber!
Matthew 6
Treasures in Heaven
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy,[c] your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy,[d] your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Good stuff brotha!! I need to make 1,250$ extra per month and have been searching the internet for ideas! I'm moving my family into a house from living in an apartment, so I have a huge garage at my disposal and I want to start wood working! :)
Thanks for the video, Matt. I really appreciate the time you put into these videos and the ideas you provide. I'm glad I found and subscribed to your channel.
Wow, you inspired me! Just discovered your channel and loving it. Thank you! Grtz from the Netherlands
How we know it's Total BS , if he do 1000 a day that mean 20.000 a month and that give you 240.000 a year, if you have that money you really don't need to do any bullsh.t videos like that, because you can have your cool sport car,house without mortgage ..... not this BS what he pretending here
I don’t have a wood shop but I can take old acoustic guitars and reclaim them into guitar/shelfs…they sell for $150-$250!
Ppl really buy this stuff? I grew up with a European mindset: that unless it’s a brand new, high-end, professionally finished product no one would want it. These second-hand, vintage style decoration pieces would never sell in other countries. Now I’m in the Midwest, in the heart of country living and I’ve been focusing on the wrong things
Your a great man to help all of us watching. Thank you for all time and help Matt. Much applause 👏.

Welcome!
Hi Matthew // thought I was gonna try day trading but you , yes you , changed my mind ... I can do this cuz I think I've got creativity ... the owls and tri candle stand blew me away ... thx and God Bless ... I'm gonna do it ...
Hi, I come from Poland, I made various decorations, but I always had a problem with selling such things, I just don't know how to sell
Thank you so much for sharing! You are very generous with your ideas. I am new to woodworking and am looking forward to trying some of your suggestions as well as ideas I have for small items to start. Take care! Your grateful neighbour from the North (Canada) 😊
ON SOME OF YOUR PROJECTS WOULD YOU CONSIDER USING THE (Shou Sugi Ban ) TECHNIQUE? I DONT THINK IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE TIME CONSUMING OR EXPENSIVE.
Hello from Arizona. We live off grid and have loved wood working since young kid. Now looking to supplement my s.s.d.I. income
Well this was Crazy Fun! Thanks! But what and the heck is that groovy bent wood split cabinet with drawers in the background? Did you make that? Make a video about that!
Bet you could prob do those candle holders with 2x4's and 45's on the long edge, since they'll be distressed in teh end anyway. Similar to how many hollowed mantles and facad "exposed beams" are made nowadays.
I would like full instructions for your projects? As I have access to a College workshop in Canada which is world class.
Man, just finished a serving platter out of Australian Wattle, I don't think I can get much for it but boy it took ages because of it's hardness and my lack of tooling. I needs to upgrade some tools.
When you’re using refurbished material, do you test for lead?
About 6 min in, the star piece made of furring, how do you think they were attached? A backboard? They all just glued together? What do you think?
No way lol, I just watched your first video again after watching it months ago and thought to myself "Hmmm, I can't remember what this guy made, let me watch it again" and then underneath the first video, there was A NEW ONE POSTED 6 HOURS AGO! LOL! SCORE!
Lol... NIIIIICCCCE!
I’m a martial arts instructor. My dad was a woodworker who made beautiful pieces of furniture out of scrap wood he brought home from work. I have bunches of pine wood my students break monthly. Any ideas?
don´t know if this popular enough and do not know as small a medium size but I would like to see make a cake stand
Matthew❤please tell me you have plans for a collapsing stair case on wall. I would rather have your plans. I will find a link to example for you.
love these ideas.
ive been wood working for a number if years and finally decided to try making some of my money back. I tried etsy but have had no luck as my listing are number 800 in the Algorithm, No one can see any of it.
was wanting to know where you or anyone having success is selling thier stuff?
ive been making American flags, wood signs, Xmas trees & ornaments, risers, trays and other small rustic things for the home.
As always, fantastic info. Thank you so much! I just love your channel!!
How you doing Matt like know how you come up with prices on certain things that's what I have problems with its pricing but I make thank you very much I'm looking forward for your response
Wow everything you sell looks like garbage, I can't believe people pay good money for that.
I guess this is why I'm poor.
Can I please ask you where do you actually sell your products. I am from Australia. Thank you for sharing your knowledge really appreciate your time given
Thank you so much for your advice. I mainly sell knives & survival gear at various gun shows during the winter; and I’ve noticed that even there, while higher end knives ($200 & up) may bring people to my table to look, it’s the low to mid range knives ($30-$75) that everyone actually buys. Unfortunately no one goes to gun shows during the spring & summer, so I’m starting up a Woodcrafting business to keep things going during those slow months. And who knows, if it gets big enough I may just make it my primary business. Either way, I really appreciate the advice you give.
Yes and a valid point... Always have the "Draw". Get them in and sell them something...
Keep these videos coming, I love seeing new and fresh ideas!
Mate. I have been looking for some direction. Great vid, great advice. Thanks very much from NZ
