    Thanks for sharing this video, I would probably just make the butter for myself and maybe include in the items I sell, it looks like everyone is making it and selling it. Is it possible to add a scent to the butter? Like orange or lemon?

  • @reloadNshoot

    With the low cost of mineral oil and wax i would just include it with whatever product you sell. Add the price into product. You then can say its included for free. Who doesnt like the word free? Or you can do like I do and just give it away, its not a big deal. Its like the $10 off the sticker link, the discount is in the marked up price and appears you are getting it for nothing but you are not. Edit after clicking on the sticker link provided their ads pop up continually 😢

    You said you finish your boards with poly first. Is there any point to using butter over poly? I'd assume it wouldn't penetrate the wood and just sit on the poly and eventually wash off the first time you clean it.

Maybe your neighbors have that brand. And if your into 3d building, I am about ready to make something to help keep water out of the bottom tray. I think it’s coming from top vent but not sure. Maybe I should look that up. Btw. If your egg is green, you ain’t raising chickens anymore. Lol

I'm sure you can make a small fortune from that. Don't tell anyone what the solution is. Cause they might beat you to it. And chickens lay green eggs. And blue. And brown. And pink. Very few lay white. That's just what the commercial hens lay. But other breeds lay a rainbow of colors!

    I’m not a woodworker where I make things to sell. Recently I’ve been getting a bunch of tools to do a project for my house. I’m gonna make custom cabinets for my kitchen. But I have done other things too. I have made a barn door for my house on the real cheap. I wish I had a joiner and planer when I did. I used cheap pine boards from Home Depot and drilled holes on the sides of it and glued and doweled the pieces together. My clamps became insufficient so to finish the final size of the door I used wood blocks and ratcheting straps as clamps. I then used a map gas to burn in the wood and polyurethane finish. It’s a beautiful door. But now that I have better tools I may have to remake it so the boards are even straighter than what I currently have. Nice video. And I love the ideas.

    I bought a kit of Ryobi tools 4 or 5 years ago with an impact drill, reg drill, jigsaw, recip saw, circular saw, air pump, light and a carry bag and a battery with charger. It was a well thought out collection of tools for getting into cordless tools and I use most of them frequently, especially the impact drill (not confident if I’m using the name correctly which will matter in a few moments). The real hook into the brand is their sales, especially Ryobi Days. Pretty frequently you can either buy a tool and get another tool or battery for free or buy a 2 pack of batteries with/without a charger and get a tool for free or even better last year for black friday they had a deal for 2free tools with purchase of a tool. Because of the sales I now have about a dozen batteries evenly split between 2 and 4 AH and recently got started in their 40v outdoor tools after picking some up in a couple auctions. Alsthanks to deals I actually have 2 of the palm routers but haven’t used them yet but will very soon. Also got their impact gun for removing lug nuts and installing/removing our 5th wheel trailer gooseneck hitch and it’s a beast. I had most of these before I started watching woodworking creators but find it comforting that almost all of them have at least a couple Ryobi tools that they periodically use.

    This router is a steaming pile of hot garbage! And this comes from someone who has an entire tool set of Ryobi stuff. My other Ryobi tools I love, but after having this router for only a year and using it less than a handful of times, it started to fail. And by fail I mean it would suddenly plunge deeper in a cut. So I went back to the handbook and made sure I was setting everything correctly, and I was. What I realized was the pertinent piece that travels up and down the depth shaft is plastic. It needs to be metal. This is what is preventing mine from not having this failure. I know these are cheap and this might prohibit Ryobi from making this component metal, but it there ever was a component on this router that needs to be metal in order to have it work properly, this is the one. I'm currently look for a replacement router OUTSIDE the Ryobi family.

      I have not had this problem yet, but I can see it happening. I love my colt palm router from Bosch!

    Your projects are great. But unless you work pennies for your time spent I don't see anything more then a hobby

      For me it has been a great side hustle. So, I can’t personally speak to if someone could make a full-time salary with these projects. I think there are many variables such as what market you are selling to, etc. Thanks for the feedback!

    Hi Ben. Great video. How many coats of the Watco Butcherblock Finish do you typically apply?

      Thank you! I think a minimum of two.
