I’ve made almost $500 on the planter boxes in just under a week. Just did it for fun to see if they would sell in my area and they semi took off. I have 6 more orders to build currently.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking thanks. I’ve made probably $15,000 in a year on farmhouse style benches. I got to where I was building them from 2x4 to completed bench in 30 minutes. I just build as a hobby. Fun to build and see what I can make. I’m building a 1:12 scale house now.
I'm curious; what are you selling them for? I know my area will be different, I'm just looking to get a rough idea what others are selling the planters for.
@@shda5582 probably less than some. But I’ve always been one to be the one that’s just under others pricing. I sell them for $25 each with a cost of $6.50 in it. Almost 4 times the cost. I’m sure I could get more but they are quick, simple and I sell a decent amount of them. The higher the price the longer it sits. I currently have $250 worth of orders to build that I’ll probably have built today. Most of my customers when they see the 2 they ordered they order 2 more. One even ordered 4 more.
A friend and I built 10 sets of nesting planter boxes, 3 in each set (large, medium, small). Took them to the local, twice a year fair here in Japan, along with some wall art pieces, jewelry holders, and wall keychain holders. Only sold 2 of the $5 wall keychain holders the entire day. Spent a few hundred on the rental spot, as well as some materials and new tools, and only got back $5 each. Disappointing. I suppose the fair is just a place to sell cheap crap and food.
Happy to say that your videos have inspired me to make my wood working hobby into a full time career, always had trouble with keeping regular jobs, was diagnosed with ADHD/Anxiety disorder at 48 years old and needed to change things and watching your videos encouraged me to take what I love and make money doing it. Bought some of your plans and they are great. Thank you so much and please keep it up.
Before I started my own business, I've only had one boss who understood what me having adhd meant (he has a kid with it) so he knew I'm probably gonna be late every day with a crazy out of this world excuse that basically boiled down to I got distracted on my way in, but the trade off to being late everyday was I aint leaving til I finished a project I started which lead to leaving later everyday, and it wasn't unusual for me to be working on multiple projects at once, I still stay in touch with him 15 yrs later, was one of the best most understanding bosses I've ever had
Re: Fear of Failure… if you’re anything like me, you find it really tough to take. But know that failure is necessary to some degree. It took me 4 tries to get a single desk that looked good. That’s 4 desk builds. 4. Whole. Desks. I didn’t give up. I learned from each build, and I was looking forward to number 5 when I stopped - mostly because I didn’t need another desk! 😂 Seriously, though, it’s the failures that push me forward, to learn, to be better, and to do better work. Don’t be afraid to fail, be afraid to quit because you did.
Michael Jordan said I fail I fail I fail therefore I succeed/ you can't be great until you've been terrible/ so go on be terrible for tomorrow there is A small success coming your way/ spoken from a 64 year old female retiree who found this channel and now I laugh at the money I make with no former skills & two new saws I bought at retirement/ not one artist had a excellent painting until they had 30 terrible ones/ we only see the success; not the pile of rubble behind the house/don't give in or up..
I made that long shelf from old pallets, the curved ends are already on the pallet boards, just cut the ends if the pallet board, sand enough so there are not splinters and the patina remains. Excellent wine bottle holder
I'm so glad I stumbled onto this. My 64 year old husband is currently building our 3 log cabins homestead from the wood on our property here in East Tn..The first one is just beautiful...I have to tell him about this. Don't think small projects like this have crossed his mind...but he would enjoy this..and it would keep me out of Hobby Lobby...a little..lolol
I've done the window frames before. However, I added a simple silhouette of either an animal or something like an evergreen tree, paint it black then added it to each frame. Made them both with & without silhouettes. The ones with silhouettes sell 25% better in my area.
Hobby Lobby shopper here! I actually have that last one hanging over my mantle. Thank you so much for making this video! it gave me a new prospective on those super cute things that I want but don't want to spend what they're asking. I'm going to give it a shot just making them for myself and possibly Christmas presents. Also, side note- Hobby Lobby always doubles the price that most people pay as they have rotating sales every month. So that last one was $75, but I paid $37.50 +tax. Still too much, but I definitely bought it!!
Yeah they do those sells to move the piece out for what they know it should probably cost. However this is also a lesson to buy from a craftsman rather than corporate chain stores. They pay pennies to get bucks. Making things your self also rewards you much more than anything. It just feels right.
I made something very similar to that long farm house box a few years ago out of one end of a pallet, I use it to put whiskey bottles in, just cut above the notch on the side rail and add a piece on the bottom so simple, it's already distressed, stain or I burnt mine, look cool and had a lot of compliments on it. Thanks for bringing all these ideas up!
The window looking project I have been doing for a while except I put plastic sheets in the window pane spots along with some backers from picture frames and now instead of a boring window I have a picture frame. Down the center line I cut out some letters to spell out "family" or the family name if its a custom job. I've sold a few of each so far. My local furniture store does consignment sells and they go through a lot of stuff like that to the point they have asked me to keep them stocked with things and a lot of the ideas come from these videos.
Thank you for showing how to make hexagon frames. You made it easy to understand. I was able to make a hexagon frame in no time. It gave me an idea to make little hexagon DND dice rolling trays. Thank you for these videos, you are awesome!
So, I just picked one of your videos at random because I don't know where to post this. But, thank you! I don't know what it is about your style, but somehow you make woodworking seem accessible. I have always been interested but filled with trepidation. Your videos made me believe I could do it. I haven't tried making anything to sell yet, but I am two personal projects down and very pleased with the process. Thanks again, Matthew. You're doing great work!
I love your videos so much Matt. You inspired me to begin getting in to woodworking over a year ago and I'm still loving it and learning, but wanted to thank you again because I still get ideas and inspiration from your videos and methods.
Long time fan! My father-in-law is starting his own woodworking shop from your inspiration and videos. A challenge we have is to see How much money can you/your kids can make from 1) a single pallet & 2) From a single 8' fence picket panel section. Hope this inspires your creativity! Thank you for all that you do!!!
I made the long farm house box accidentally years ago by cutting the end off an old pallet. It hangs in our bathroom. My wife has rags and towels in it. They are rolled up fancy and never used, of course. 😂
I wish I could find pine non-pressure treated fence pickets here. Its either 3/4 inch pressure treated pickets or cedar pickets that are suppose to be 5/8 of a inch but a lot are undersized. But it is fun to watch your videos and make these items out of cedar. I don't like working with the pressure treated pickets myself.
I've been following you for awhile now and I love what you share. I usually watch on tv and can't commit, so I'm switching to my tablet. I've made the trellis`s and had great sales. Woodworking is my passion and I'm going for it. I've also watched your videos on how to make a business doing this. Game on for the new year!😊
Bro now I see why I waited so long for your next video. Your at hobby lobby shopping lol Those long boxes would make a great windowsill flower box and that’s how I’m going to stage it and sell it as good going giving me more to do
I love your tutorials!! So very helpful. You have inspired me to make a lot of wood projects. I have the tools, my brother in law builds houses, so I can get all the wood I need free. Here I go, diving in.
I could even see a few different configurations of hexagons on display and also selling singles and offering to fasten together on the spot to a custom config. A few spots of CA glue and a spray of hardener on the matching board. Or maybe screws. Of course this means someone manning the till while someone else goes in the back to do the deed.
Wow! Your wonderful instructions and style of delivery have convinced me that I can do this. Now to get my husband’s truck so I can get some fence pickets!
Just found your page and I love it. I'm just starting a craft business at my home and these will be great things to add to the things I'm going to be selling. I'm going to be selling all kinds of crafts from sewing to wood crafts.
I’ve been making old and vintage windows out of fence pickets. I make them out of pine and cedar just in case people want them for their gardens. They are great!
I subscribed to your channel the other day and I love it!! I like to diy but I’ve never done real woodwork but I’ve been watching these videos and a few others. My husband has all the tools so I’m going to give it a try!!
The long farmhouse box.. you can do extra cheap, I did something similar but was used as a wine rack and it didn't cost anything. All you need is a pallet and a few simple cuts and you're done
Your videos are definitely an inspiration to start building things, you make them all look and sound so easy. Thank you very much for sharing with us all
Good Morning, Has anyone suggested selling the octagon as singles and let the customer decide how they want to lay them out? You could even predrill holes so they can attach them when they get them home.
With the window pain, the last piece, you could add mirrors and/or cork board for pictures, I actual made one with burlap and wire, with baby clothes pins, to hang all kinds of opjects. Great Video, my friend.
Made the hexagon box's, only 3 because I messed up the first one. Took me around 2 hours but I don't have a shop setup yet so had to pull equipment out setup, rip cut, stained and assemble. Oh, and made a jig as well. Now let's see if we can get some orders coming in. Also,
I have watched several of your videos this year and this is by far your best yet! Thanks Matt, I am looking for projects that are inexpensive to make and easy to sell, I just need a pin nailer.
The hexagon shelf is amazing! There is one the same but metal in my local charity (thrift) shop for £15 painted gold. Its lovely but a high price for second hand and a bit beat up, so its been there for a couple months. I am a beekeeper and love making bee theme items to sell with my honey on my stall so I often woodburn bee theme sayings and drawings, but I may need to make some of these (maybe one for me) and use on the stall to display and then some to sell Thanks for sharing 🧡
I loved woodworking when I was in highschool, and am looking to get back in to it. This video, and the other "Make Money" projects are great to watch, and see where to start. Even if I don't necessarily make money off them at first! Thank you for the videos, and how you would do it!
just ordered your plans for the chicknic table. The best set of plans I've seen very well explained and detailed. I was expecting a simple picture and short explanation that required me to figure out what you were saying . Not so , I received many pages of detailed plans and assembly details that could be followed by someone if this was their first woodworking project ever .
Good ideas. The mitered corners on the first frame are end grain and don't need anything more than PVA glue to be ultra-strong. If you are "in production", a few jigs and regular clamps would work fine. This would be a good example of when you can follow Titebond's own recommendations and take off the clamps if you need to at 20-30 mins.
Hi Matthew - Great video and very inspirational. I bought wood for a ladder to put my throws on a year ago and it just sits in my garage. I am now inspired to go and get it done. Thanks and continued success. Love PegEgg
I love your UA-cam channel and all the projects that you share are fantastic. One thing you didn't mention in this video is that these projects tend to be 50% of every other week, that is unless I missed it. So glad that you are helping us find ways to save money and make money.
The scent of Hobby Lobby is mostly eucalyptus. When I was working at a vape shop, we got a cbd icy hot roll on thing to sample. I smelled it and was hit with vague nostalgia and realized it smelled exactly like Hobby Lobby. I told my co worker and it turns out she used to work there and was the person that would fill the scent sprayer things and told me the secret formula but all I remember was eucalyptus is the main ingredient lol
Notice that the farmhouse rack as you called it has a french cleat cut on the top back rail. You could consider making the wall section out of stained plywood or cut fence picket the full width of the rack and 1-1/2 to 2" tall and sell it as an add-on or with it for a higher price.
You can get 4 of those farmhouse shelves from one pallet...just a Sawzall and a couple nails to put the bottoms on. Super fast and almost totally free!
New sub, great ideas!!! I just need a place to build. No garage or spare room!!! I have several power tools and a scroll saw. I even have an air compressor from harbor freight!!! Only other problem is no place to store completed items!!! Keep up the great vids!!!
window frame brought back a bad memory... back in the 90s bought from HL a pair of frame window mirrors...put them on a wall above our family room sofa... cleaning on saturdays kept find crumbs of wood on the top back of the sofa... eventually realized there were bug borer holes in the wood of the frames dropping down from the frames... yup... bug infested wood... took it back to HL and the ladies up front were panic/horrorified seeing the critters i pried out and dropped on the register counter top....
Good stuff! Most prices at Hobby Lobby are over inflated as they have a 40% coupon available for most of what they sell... so be careful in your pricing as savy customers (like my wife) wait for the sales before purchasing anything...
I've decided to just go ahead and start with only the cheep DIY stuff that I currently have. I have a pretty good deal of experience. And most everything I do at my current job translates well to woodworking. Between your channel and Matthew Outlaw's 731WoodWorks channel, I've decided to take my hobby and do something more with it. I also recently had the dream of a Father and Sons How-to's channel. We'll see if anything comes of it. But, I wanted take the time to thank you.😎🤓😇
So I'm a huge Diyer. I walk around with my daughters in the decor area and they oh and aww things they would want in their room or apartment. Then they look at me and I give them a nod yes, which doesn't mean I'm going to buy it but means I'm going to make it for them. Then I go home ponder it and make it for a fraction of the price and customize it for them so it's not just some mass produced item but a personalized one of a kind piece they can display in their home. One example is My youngest saw a set of mushroom drawings she liked for her kitchen they were in white frames which she was meh about. I went home drew up some similar style mushrooms but added some lesser known culinary mushrooms we grow. Then watercolored them and framed them in some made distressed gray scrap wood frames cut down the glass out of an old mass produced picture she had that she didn't want and she was in love. They wanted $50 for the set of 3. I didn't pay anything for them and had fun making them and hers are actually painted with with professional grade at supplies so it will last decades. Her in laws asked where she got them and she said with pride my mom made them. ❤❤❤
Great job Matt, I always love it when I wake up in the morning and out of all the other people I subscribe to I see one of your videos and it makes the day!! Can’t wait to see another to buy some more plans!!
Wow! Even more great ideas. Thank you. Looking forward to building some more of your products. I’ve even managed to sell a couple of planters lol. Keep up the great work !
Keep up the good work, the enthusiasm you have clearly shows in your videos, and you always have insightful thoughts. Even though I don't get a chance to build much I still enjoy watching each new video.
Awesome video. Love how take your time so show us how things are made. I’m a new woodworker and can’t wait to start building some of your products with the fence pieces. Thankyou
The long farm house basket could be made for free if done right just pick up some nice oak pallets that most factories give away cut the ends center of the fork hoops one pallet can make 4 of those if cut properly
What do you suggest for a starter project. I have some experience with working with wood, but mostly construction. You are an amazing teacher. Very easy to listen to. Thank you
Hola! 🖐I'm digging and scratching looking for ideas and videos to figure out my Mother's Day gift for this year. I'm wondering how much the fence pickets will move and bend and warp once they are cut. Only one way to find out, gotta make one! Thanks for the video. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊

I’ve made almost $500 on the planter boxes in just under a week. Just did it for fun to see if they would sell in my area and they semi took off. I have 6 more orders to build currently.
Congrats on the sales!!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking thanks. I’ve made probably $15,000 in a year on farmhouse style benches. I got to where I was building them from 2x4 to completed bench in 30 minutes. I just build as a hobby. Fun to build and see what I can make. I’m building a 1:12 scale house now.

Congrats on the new endeavor! You’ve got this. Woodworking is a good therapy in itself in my opinion.
I, too, am a professional squirrel chaser, Denis. I build stuff out of whatever I can find. It keeps life interesting!

I'm glad that you mentioned the thickness of the fence pickets.
That is something people might not realize, that they vary in thicknesses.
What exactly do y'all mean when you say "fence pickets"? I searched that on my hd app and it just came up with the actual PT dog eared fence board.
thanks for the idea . going to hobby lobby weekly now. YOU'RE THE MAN!
I'm so glad I stumbled onto this. My 64 year old husband is currently building our 3 log cabins homestead from the wood on our property here in East Tn..The first one is just beautiful...I have to tell him about this. Don't think small projects like this have crossed his mind...but he would enjoy this..and it would keep me out of Hobby Lobby...a little..lolol
That window would look great with mirrors in the back and a small flower box on the bottom. I think I will build a couple when I get some free time.
A lot of us buy the plans just to support you even though we either don't need them or can build the thing without the plans.
Eucalyptus is the scent.Its relaxing scent relieves exhaustion, elevates mood, and rejuvenates the spirit.
Eucalyptus and vanilla, chi or nutmeg pending on season. My husband laughed when you said Kenny G, he said that Kenny G. Ticks a lot of people off.
Lol
I've done the window frames before. However, I added a simple silhouette of either an animal or something like an evergreen tree, paint it black then added it to each frame. Made them both with & without silhouettes. The ones with silhouettes sell 25% better in my area.
Was the silhouette cut from wood, or on paper or…? Thanks for the suggestion!
I've thought for a while that hexagons would be too time consuming... you've proved me wrong. So now guess what I'm going to do tomorrow?
Make circles just so it is more time consuming?
Yea! You can do it!
These would make some great gifts for some of my family members. Definitely going to make some and see how they like them.
Nice!
Hobby Lobby shopper here! I actually have that last one hanging over my mantle.

For the decorative name thing you could do baby's name and birthday is my first idea. Great baby shower item, good all year!
I don't even know how to shop for the wood to build these things. A video going and purchasing your supplies would be cool.
I made something very similar to that long farm house box a few years ago out of one end of a pallet, I use it to put whiskey bottles in, just cut above the notch on the side rail and add a piece on the bottom so simple, it's already distressed, stain or I burnt mine, look cool and had a lot of compliments on it.
Thanks for bringing all these ideas up!
Yes, hobby lobby sells dried flowers! There's a definite scent to them and eucalyptus. Thanks for the tips!
The window looking project I have been doing for a while except I put plastic sheets in the window pane spots along with some backers from picture frames and now instead of a boring window I have a picture frame.

I made the long farm house box accidentally years ago by cutting the end off an old pallet. It hangs in our bathroom. My wife has rags and towels in it. They are rolled up fancy and never used, of course. 😂
That's what I thought it was .
yeah that old music/scent trick usually makes me leave faster lol. Great ideas and simply explained ,excellent work sir.
I wish I could find pine non-pressure treated fence pickets here. Its either 3/4 inch pressure treated pickets or cedar pickets that are suppose to be 5/8 of a inch but a lot are undersized. But it is fun to watch your videos and make these items out of cedar. I don't like working with the pressure treated pickets myself.
pallets
I've been following you for awhile now and I love what you share.
I usually watch on tv and can't commit, so I'm switching to my tablet. I've made the trellis`s and had great sales. Woodworking is my passion and I'm going for it. I've also watched your videos on how to make a business doing this. Game on for the new year!😊
Bro now I see why I waited so long for your next video. Your at hobby lobby shopping lol
Those long boxes would make a great windowsill flower box and that’s how I’m going to stage it and sell it as good going giving me more to do
I like it!
I love your tutorials!! So very helpful. You have inspired me to make a lot of wood projects. I have the tools, my brother in law builds houses, so I can get all the wood I need free. Here I go, diving in.
Good luck! 🤞
....and more importantly, have fun! (safely)
I could even see a few different configurations of hexagons on display and also selling singles and offering to fasten together on the spot to a custom config. A few spots of CA glue and a spray of hardener on the matching board. Or maybe screws. Of course this means someone manning the till while someone else goes in the back to do the deed.
Everyone likes customs!
Wow! Your wonderful instructions and style of delivery have convinced me that I can do this. Now to get my husband’s truck so I can get some fence pickets!
Just found your page and I love it. I'm just starting a craft business at my home and these will be great things to add to the things I'm going to be selling. I'm going to be selling all kinds of crafts from sewing to wood crafts.
I’ve been making old and vintage windows out of fence pickets. I make them out of pine and cedar just in case people want them for their gardens. They are great!
I like the jig idea to help put together the hexagons.
Interesting how Hobby Lobby displays a lot of the items shown on black stands, makes the more appealing 😀
I subscribed to your channel the other day and I love it!! I like to diy but I’ve never done real woodwork but I’ve been watching these videos and a few others. My husband has all the tools so I’m going to give it a try!!
Welcome aboard! You can do it!
Just a note of thanks. I watch a ton of this type videos. You always seem to be able to inspire and instill confidence. It’s appreciated.
Thank you.
The long farmhouse box.. you can do extra cheap, I did something similar but was used as a wine rack and it didn't cost anything. All you need is a pallet and a few simple cuts and you're done
Thank you Sir for all your videos. You keep this old man entertained.
Your videos are definitely an inspiration to start building things, you make them all look and sound so easy. Thank you very much for sharing with us all
Good Morning, Has anyone suggested selling the octagon as singles and let the customer decide how they want to lay them out? You could even predrill holes so they can attach them when they get them home.
I’d use picture frame V-nails on that “I Love You” block thingy. Logan Graphics sells a frame making kit that will make this process easy peasy.
Nice idea!
Just came across your channel the other day. So inspiring. My grandson loves working with wood, gonna send him your link.
Eucalyptus is the scent. Fresh plant that is sold dried due to the intense smell when they are dried, which I think is a calming smell.
phrase of the day - this is a best way to get rid of material!!!!🔁
Well, thank you .. I've started...
You're an inspiration made my first snowflake.
Very Cool. The one shelf actually looks like the end of a pallet.
Ty for the jig idea
I was fighting similar issues today
With the window pain, the last piece, you could add mirrors and/or cork board for pictures, I actual made one with burlap and wire, with baby clothes pins, to hang all kinds of opjects. Great Video, my friend.
Made the hexagon box's, only 3 because I messed up the first one. Took me around 2 hours but I don't have a shop setup yet so had to pull equipment out setup, rip cut, stained and assemble. Oh, and made a jig as well. Now let's see if we can get some orders coming in. Also,
I have watched several of your videos this year and this is by far your best yet! Thanks Matt, I am looking for projects that are inexpensive to make and easy to sell, I just need a pin nailer.
The hexagon shelf is amazing! There is one the same but metal in my local charity (thrift) shop for £15 painted gold. Its lovely but a high price for second hand and a bit beat up, so its been there for a couple months. I am a beekeeper and love making bee theme items to sell with my honey on my stall so I often woodburn bee theme sayings and drawings, but I may need to make some of these (maybe one for me) and use on the stall to display and then some to sell
Thanks for sharing 🧡
I'll definitely try to make that hexagon shelf.
Nice!
I loved woodworking when I was in highschool, and am looking to get back in to it.
This video, and the other "Make Money" projects are great to watch, and see where to start. Even if I don't necessarily make money off them at first!
Thank you for the videos, and how you would do it!
just ordered your plans for the chicknic table. The best set of plans I've seen very well explained and detailed. I was expecting a simple picture and short explanation that required me to figure out what you were saying . Not so , I received many pages of detailed plans and assembly details that could be followed by someone if this was their first woodworking project ever .
Awesome, thank you for the support
Disney does the same thing at their theme parks with scents. The scents increase the park customers appetite, which increase food sales.
I never shop at Hobby Lobby, personal choice. However great information and ideas that can be applied at at craft or wood craft shop.
Good ideas. The mitered corners on the first frame are end grain and don't need anything more than PVA glue to be ultra-strong. If you are "in production", a few jigs and regular clamps would work fine. This would be a good example of when you can follow Titebond's own recommendations and take off the clamps if you need to at 20-30 mins.
Thanks for another great video, Matthew! Blessings!!!
My pleasure!
Hi Matthew - Great video and very inspirational. I bought wood for a ladder to put my throws on a year ago and it just sits in my garage. I am now inspired to go and get it done. Thanks and continued success. Love PegEgg
You be got this!
Long time side hustler and UA-cam browser. Great video. Great advice. Subscribed.
I love your UA-cam channel and all the projects that you share are fantastic. One thing you didn't mention in this video is that these projects tend to be 50% of every other week, that is unless I missed it. So glad that you are helping us find ways to save money and make money.
The scent of Hobby Lobby is mostly eucalyptus. When I was working at a vape shop, we got a cbd icy hot roll on thing to sample. I smelled it and was hit with vague nostalgia and realized it smelled exactly like Hobby Lobby. I told my co worker and it turns out she used to work there and was the person that would fill the scent sprayer things and told me the secret formula but all I remember was eucalyptus is the main ingredient lol
You could shoot inch and half Brad nails into the side to hold the shelf level, add glue, and then tie the knots after it all dries
Notice that the farmhouse rack as you called it has a french cleat cut on the top back rail. You could consider making the wall section out of stained plywood or cut fence picket the full width of the rack and 1-1/2 to 2" tall and sell it as an add-on or with it for a higher price.
You can get 4 of those farmhouse shelves from one pallet...just a Sawzall and a couple nails to put the bottoms on. Super fast and almost totally free!
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing! I'm a Hobby Lobby fanatic, so this will save me a lot of dough!
You are so welcome!
New sub, great ideas!!! I just need a place to build. No garage or spare room!!! I have several power tools and a scroll saw. I even have an air compressor from harbor freight!!!
Only other problem is no place to store completed items!!! Keep up the great vids!!!
window frame brought back a bad memory... back in the 90s bought from HL a pair of frame window mirrors...put them on a wall above our family room sofa... cleaning on saturdays kept find crumbs of wood on the top back of the sofa... eventually realized there were bug borer holes in the wood of the frames dropping down from the frames... yup... bug infested wood... took it back to HL and the ladies up front were panic/horrorified seeing the critters i pried out and dropped on the register counter top....
Awesome stuff Matthew. I appreciate you having to endure the Kenny G for us. Keep up the great work!
Lol Thanks! Will do!
My man comin through again. Love your videos, thanks for all you do!
My pleasure!
Good stuff! Most prices at Hobby Lobby are over inflated as they have a 40% coupon available for most of what they sell... so be careful in your pricing as savy customers (like my wife) wait for the sales before purchasing anything...
I've decided to just go ahead and start with only the cheep DIY stuff that I currently have. I have a pretty good deal of experience. And most everything I do at my current job translates well to woodworking. Between your channel and Matthew Outlaw's 731WoodWorks channel, I've decided to take my hobby and do something more with it. I also recently had the dream of a Father and Sons How-to's channel. We'll see if anything comes of it. But, I wanted take the time to thank you.😎🤓😇
That "farmhouse box" could be built from a reclaimed pallet. 😎
#FreeWood
Yes!
PEECH! I missed your video last week. Glad to see you're back at it.
Always appreciate your videos Matt! Keep up the great work!
Of course!
So I'm a huge Diyer. I walk around with my daughters in the decor area and they oh and aww things they would want in their room or apartment. Then they look at me and I give them a nod yes, which doesn't mean I'm going to buy it but means I'm going to make it for them. Then I go home ponder it and make it for a fraction of the price and customize it for them so it's not just some mass produced item but a personalized one of a kind piece they can display in their home. One example is My youngest saw a set of mushroom drawings she liked for her kitchen they were in white frames which she was meh about. I went home drew up some similar style mushrooms but added some lesser known culinary mushrooms we grow. Then watercolored them and framed them in some made distressed gray scrap wood frames cut down the glass out of an old mass produced picture she had that she didn't want and she was in love. They wanted $50 for the set of 3. I didn't pay anything for them and had fun making them and hers are actually painted with with professional grade at supplies so it will last decades. Her in laws asked where she got them and she said with pride my mom made them. ❤❤❤
Would love to see a picture of them
Great job Matt, I always love it when I wake up in the morning and out of all the other people I subscribe to I see one of your videos and it makes the day!! Can’t wait to see another to buy some more plans!!
Awesome matthew, Thanks for inspiring us
Wow! Even more great ideas. Thank you. Looking forward to building some more of your products. I’ve even managed to sell a couple of planters lol. Keep up the great work !
Thank you
Keep up the good work, the enthusiasm you have clearly shows in your videos, and you always have insightful thoughts. Even though I don't get a chance to build much I still enjoy watching each new video.
I appreciate that!
Awesome video. Love how take your time so show us how things are made. I’m a new woodworker and can’t wait to start building some of your products with the fence pieces. Thankyou
The long farm house basket could be made for free if done right just pick up some nice oak pallets that most factories give away cut the ends center of the fork hoops one pallet can make 4 of those if cut properly
I always learn something from your videos. Keep them coming.
Great ideas again. Thanks for sharing. Tou give tons of inspiration, but it seems I have even more excuses not to complete one single project.
You can do it!
I guess that I know that I might 😃
What do you suggest for a starter project. I have some experience with working with wood, but mostly construction. You are an amazing teacher. Very easy to listen to. Thank you
if you never fail, you never tried! Prefer build videos, but these are good to see also.
Thanks for the new content Matt!! Great stuff!! Can wait to build a few myself.
Im nearing retirement and Ill definitely be making these in the near future
Nice!
Thank you for this! I can't wait to try some of these projects
Thanks for watching!
Man I love these videos. You make it super easy to understand how to make these items.
I appreciate that!
Hola! 🖐I'm digging and scratching looking for ideas and videos to figure out my Mother's Day gift for this year. I'm wondering how much the fence pickets will move and bend and warp once they are cut. Only one way to find out, gotta make one! Thanks for the video. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
Love all of your videos. So many ideas I don’t know which ones to start with. Lol. Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for all of your videos!
You are so welcome!
that farm house shelf 5:42 ish take a pallet cut to height sand where needed and boom.
Nice!
i've built a bajillion of those hexagons, a HOT seller!
