Often, smaller items are looked over by new builders looking to make a name for themselves because they are looking for "that one build" that they can sell for a ton of money. They aren't considering the cost of the build and the time spent making it. 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 minimal cost of goods sold!
Sometimes we overthink things when the most profitable items we are looking past. Let's change that.

I hate to look stupid but how do I get to your pkans
Good question
All his plans are on etsy
I just looked at them 7.50 awesome price
I want the plans
I am also a RN in the Louisville/southern IN area! I absolutley love your videos! All of them! Doing crafts/woodworking really helps destress after working, which is why I started. Just recently finished my she shed! Thank you for the inspiration! Honestly knowing you are a nurse also really sealed the deal for me subscribing to you , I usually do not subscribe! Thank you!
My husband and I both vote on the porch swing !!!
Thank you!
I love all of the squirrel feeders but if I had to pick one I love the swing the best :)
Thanks!
I've been promoting the small squirrel items as Doll furniture for American Girl size dolls.
I like it!
How's it working? That is a fantastic idea.
@@julieniemeyer925 really well. Mostly gifts but you can add paint to personalize the pieces for different dolls. I also too the basic garden basket idea, made the slats longer, attached them to the centers of the end pieces, and modified the tops of the ends for a doll bed (Some straight cuts and one with a jigsaw cut to resemble a castle). I haven't tried to sell much, but if you have 18' dolls in mind a tweak here and there gets you into the "rustic farmhouse" doll furniture business, and those people (my wife included!) spend big buck on that kind of thing!
My pick is the swing, solely because you didn’t put the cut list in the description for the chair feeder. 😂😜
I can make a full size novelty Adirondack chair in 1 full day. (no stain or paint)
You are an amazing teacher, not only for builds, but the business of profits! Thank you for your awesome content!
Do you have any fall builds? It would be cool to get a jump on the change of seasons sales wise
Coming Very Soon!
I've been saving my money at min wage job. I've been slowly buying tools. This is the video I need.
How's it going? Have you started? Have any success yet?
@@Junkyard_Dog oh yeah. Even after 2nd wipe.
The prolem with full-sized Adirondack chairs is: you need an ejection mechanism to get your ass out of the chair!
Lol
At 6;07, I like the way you cut half the board then flipped the board to finish the cut,, Never reaching over the blade! Damn good thinkin! just 1 more week and I'll be back in my own woodshop!
That’s exactly right! Thank you and congrats on the new shop!
I was wondering why he flipped the board like that. I never thought about it like that. I like it.
Just looked at some local prices and thought you could also buy the flat tops and do the dog ears yourself.
I dont care much about feeding the squirrels, but my nieces would love these simply as doll furniture. Possibly a very inexpensive holiday gift.
Matthew, I have a question. I apologize if you have already answered this (but I doubt it, as I look forward to, and watch your videos fairly religiously) Why do you flip your boards on medium rips as opposed to just pushing through? I know you have an outfeed table so I am curious if your method is beneficial? Thanks
That's so weird! I was going to ask the same question! I have noticed that from time to time. Is there a safety benefit? Or speed? I would love a quick explanation because you make it look so smooth! I'm afraid to try it.
Hey! I flip the boards for both speed and safety. By flipping half through the rip I keep my hands away from the blade and I dont have to walk around to get the piece to re-run or stack.
@MatthewPeechWoodworking I've done that for longer cuts because I don't have an outfeed table. So do you have to turn the saw off, or just flip and keep going? Those clips are usually sped up so I can't tell. Thanks Matt!!
My favorite is the swing but definitely will try to build all of them. Great job to all
Good choice!
Well done! Especially the explanation of profit margins for Smalls. It's not rocket science, Make a decent Profit or don't build it! All I make are smalls! The AD Chair takes me about 15 min with pallet wood. I use jigs and a 23g pin nailer and glue. My Goal is to sell 500 this year.
Nice!!
I always love the ideas your kids and you come up with. For me its a hard call between the front porch swing one and the chair but my vote goes to the swing. Great work as always!
Thanks for sharing!!
This one is tough. I mean, all 3 are winning designs! If I consider each of these as squirrel feeders as presented, then my vote goes for the Adirondack chair design with a modification of the corn cob screw location to be on the chair. My decision is based upon placement of the feeders and squirrels seem to prefer to eat high off the ground and more out of site of predators. However, if I consider these designs for creative uses, the Adirondack chair comes in last place because of the attached platform. It looks like it is required for stability. My winner for most uses other than as a squirrel feeder is the picnic table. Now, as a gardener, my personal favorite is the swing. I’d remove the screw and secure a small terracotta pot or two and fill with a fern and a vine. I may need to make the build a little larger or at least slightly longer. My decisions are from the customer’s perspective rather than the seller’s perspective which considers costs and profit. I can’t remember which one was able to get two projects from 1 picket or which one had the best profit margin, etc. I’m just very impressed with all of the final presentations. ~ Rob
Thank you for that Rob!
Thanks for answering my question on Patreon about the Adirondack chair! In my area the local store sells them for over $200 a piece, so I was looking to maybe build my own (not to sell, just for around the firepit).
My vote goes for your Adirondack chair.
Peech is a 🍑 lol I mean that as manly as possible PEACH MAN
You know, I, like you,🤔 priced out what it would cost me to purchase the material and fasters required to make a popular, far more practical version of the Adirondack style furniture.🧐 I came to the conclusion, rather quickly that I wouldn't initially be making more than a 20%{at best!} on my investment in just the material. 🤨My labor, in comparison to what I earn at my day/night job, would essentially be free😕. 95% of People can't see past the shine🤓. At least 50% of them would happily pay the exact same amount for a job has deep 80grit sand scratches in it, so long as it's pretty at arm's length🤓. There's no way I can complete with chairs made in a country that pays pennies per day. Obviously, those $79.00 (wonder what country)chairs are only for this season and not for the 10yr life span I'd build my chairs for and that's where totally dropped the idea.😡 Plus I saw those chairs being unloaded at house I couldn't afford to buy, and reasoned, (if they're gonna settle for that crap, what chance does my stuff stand.?) 🥺 And plus, the house across the street from the one that bought 10 cheapies Adirondack chairs had the way more expensive version that has already been through a season or 2 and still looked good.(Yes, there's one born every minute, and they tend have to learn the hard way. I want to start this year, not wait until next year...)
That was 6mos ago, when I'd have started production of the chairs, and being an older/middle aged fellow, don't have quite the energy, room and time to produce large projects and have any space for the small stuff that keeps this side hustle moving forward and gradually upwards.🤔🤠😎 3:52
That’s why these mini squirrel sized versions are well worth it.
I'm not sure how squirrel feeders will sell around here......they are considered more of a nuisance than anything. BUT I'm still going to make a couple.....they are so darn cute. THANKS Matthew.
They are cute! Lol
Awesome idea. What's the reason for not cutting the wood in one pass? I've never seen this before.
The flip? It keeps me from having to get my hands over the blade at any point and also saves time by not having to walk around.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking cool! I like that
Pleae Matthew, consider NOT putting a wireless thing next to your brain. A tumor is no happy accident.
God bless
Thanks
Boy that is a tough choice! I like the table for ease-of-build. I like the chair with bucket for the accuracy to the full size. But my favorite might be the swing. It's so original! You and your kids are brilliant!
Thank you!!
Flooring mill where you grew up was that near Dalton Georgia? That’s the capital of the flooring industry
No, we are in Kentucky.
You and your kids are so creative. I LOVE the Adirondack chair version. You nailed it!
Thank you!
Adirondack chair? for profit? Make it kid sized !! for 3-6yo. they will sell and use less wood.
I like the way you think!!! There you go.
All of the builds were fantastic! I honestly thought Matt that you were going to have a really hard time beating these kids. But I have to say you came out on top once again. Matt, my vote is for you. Awesome build guys!
Lol Thank you!
I find that, for most stuff large or small by the time the thing is built the cost of materials is rarely even as important as the Time spent since time really is the only thing we have thats absolutely non-sustainable and non-refundable!
Good point.
Ive been trying to convince those close to me the margin is more important than the amount. Because those high margin low amounts add up.
Yep.
Im going to build all 3..try to sell them and whichever one sells the most.....wins
Good idea!
Have you looked at making a viking chair? Not sure if that's the real name but look easy to make
I hadn’t thought about it. Thanks!
I built a picnic table squirrel feeder last year for my wife and in two days the corn on the cob was covered in ants. Lol
Turns out - you made an Ant Feeder, if by accident. Well done! Ants get hungry, too!
Hi Matthew, thanks so much for your videos. I have found them really helpful and inspirational. Just a question when you mention fence pickets what size picket are you using? Our local lumber store sells two different sizes, thanks, Ross. 😊
I hate squirrels. This would make a cool beach themed photo holder though.
Lol yes it would. Way to think out of the box.
Why do you pick up the board and flip it halfway through the rip cuts?
It’s a safety thing mainly. It keeps my fingers further away and prevents me from having to cross the blade or walk to the other side to get the boards.
The chickens saw the builds and ran around like a bunch of wild turkeys with their heads cut off!
The squirrels were so excited like a bunch of live wires they went NUTS!
And the birds were so shocked when they arrived early to have such a selection then didn't waste anytime to chill cause they were POOPED!
💩 lmao
And i heard you sent the Ducks all the bills and they said... What a bunch of QUACK!
They called Fowl!
Package plans for the 3
You are 100 percent right about the full size chairs. I call it the WalMart throw away mentality. Another great build! Thank you!😊
Yes! Thank you!
It's definitely a tie!! Between the swing, and the picnic table! Lol. Nah, not really! They are all fantastic! And one of these days, I'm going to build one of each of them for my daughter. And possible to sell as well.
Fair enough!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking thanks for the awesome content Matthew!! I really enjoy your channel! Keep doing what your doing my friend!
LOL, YA ITS A TOUGH WORD, LIKE MY NARGASETTE TURKEY, LOL, THIS IS COOLMATT
Lol thanks!
I’ve been building the Rockler Adirondack chairs, and while the quality is much better than most designs, there’s not a chance you can sell them for enough money to make up for the time it takes to build them. Profit margins are way too low.
These little ones are where it’s at!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking I’ll be building and listing them this week! I’d bet they sell like crazy around my neck of the woods.
Trying to sell benches and chairs in my area...material cost around 100 to 200 dollars. Yet people are selling them for 115 to 150. Feel like they are getting their material free somehow. Can't figure out how they could be making any money.
I don’t get it unless they are getting material for next to nothing.
They're not making any money. Those people are likely bored soccer moms that are more interested in attention from strangers and have no clue how money works, other than the fact that their husbands magically produce it.
Man I wish i had the extra money to get the plans, right now I can’t even afford to buy groceries hardly. I’m not exaggerating either, we’re on a fixed income. I’m trying to care for my disabled mom and I have an autistic son. I’ve been trying to get a wood working business going, but it’s been really slow. I bet these would sell! And I have some fence pickets already in stock I bought a few months ago!
No need to buy the plans, my videos walk you through the builds step by step.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking yeah, I'm going to play it back several times. It's just a little hard for me to keep up with you. Lol. I love your videos though! I've gotten many great ideas from you.
Man I love your videos my kids made the picnic tables for Mother’s Day!! Turned out great made them with nothing but hand tools. Now we got to make the swing. Thank you for posting these made the best memories for me and my kids
That is awesome! Keep it up!
Well that is a tough choice to make, for me it all depends on where you want to put it in your yard. For that reason, I am going to go with the PORCH SWING 😊 and I’m going to make all three! Thanks for all the great ideas you provide here on your channel!!!
Good choice! Lol
That Front Porch Swing is looking good. and i Love the chair!!! i have to through your videos as it has been a min since i been on the tube....
Yeah you're right they mass-produced the stuff that such a low cost now. All I think I could think of is if you made it with really high quality material in a gloss stain and just a high-end product?
I found this video doing a Google search and the thumb nail said make $550. $500 and fifty bucks!!!! Making miniature wooden chairs . I take it you build 550 of them pay $2 for materials for each one and sell for $3 each ...
Porch swing. Although I do love your chair
Dang. That swing is gonna get me lol.
Like many have already commented, it’s a tough call. All great! I’m from an area just outside the Adirondack’s so they are very popular in my area. I think the chair gets the edge just because I think they would sell the best here. Love the challenge idea. Keep doing more of these!!! Reminds me of John Malecki’s 3 version builds!
Thanks for sharing!
I keep saying and repeating myself, I don’t know where do you live and it has to be a good area where to sell them for 40 dollars. In my area in Ohio people barely want to pay 10 dollars, I need to move where there’s more money . Early spring I saw alot of the planters in the market then it went away , people don’t buy around here .
I’d say $40 would be on the high side but my kids sold a less refined version of the picnic tables for $20 alllll day long. They sold like crazy.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking i might try to make some and it see how it goes . I have made a furniture for my house , shared it on Facebook, people did like it but they told me , they wouldn’t be able to afford it . That’s why I don’t even bother to make something. But I might try this small projects .
I like them all but I would say the chair is my favorite. Have several of your plans Mathew and love them. Already been selling planter boxes, garden baskets and trellis. Even made your garden arbor out of pressure treated lumber and sold it. Gonna add the chair to my projects. Thanks for all you do!
Glad you like them! Keep it up!
I made a walnut slab coffee table with no metal...handmade ....52 long 25-18-33 width 18 high.....sterilized stabilized and finished with baby oil....ill take 4,800 for it....made it in two days......also it has epoxy c-channel inlay and artistically texturized where the reclaimed wood was damaged....beautiful table😊..........also crotch figure to die for😊. Also the four legs were mortise and tennoned 1inch deep and epoxied into the 1.5 inch thick slab.....legs are 2x3 inch thick 16.5 inches tall and solid as a rock😅
Yep, Made up a few of these as well as many of your other projects and NOT ONE SALE on Etsy. Hmm Bottom line is that there is no Profit if there are no sales. Facebook Market Place is Dead in my area or Cheapskates prevail. I'm thinking of going back to Truck Driving!
These are all cool. I do love the squirrel swing, a great creative build. However, I don't think the squirrels would enjoy the movement too much. Love the Adirondack chair, especially with the screw or bucket option. This was too close to call. 😂
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💯💯💯
The instructions which I bought have an error. On page 7, the cutting list, item A should be the "Vertical" and item B should be the "Horizontal".
My local marketplace is pretty flooded with these for between 10-20 bucks.... sucks!
i dont think your math was right on those profit margins. you had around 100% (90 something). if you spend $2.50 on the matls, then selling for $5 would be 100%. i think you missed a decimal, and its closer to 1,000% profit.
great videos Im semi-retired bass fish in warm months. Will be making smalls in the shop when the snow flies in Ohio. Good Stuff!!
Great video! I plan to make a few mini Adirondack chairs a bit oversized with a flip down board as napkin holders and a mini picnic table with holes for ketchup/mustard bottles with salt pepper shakers between.
How about some Fall and pre holiday small to get ahead of the game. Thank you Mr Peach , they could use you financial wisdom in Washington ! 2024 is coming up. They only build the $70 chairs spending $120 ...
Coming VERY soon! Lol... yeaaa
Honestly, I'll probably build all three😅. As far as my favorite, it has to be the Adirondack chair.
Thanks!
Tough choice , i kinda like the swing better
Thanks!
Love this ideal. This should be a big seller in my area. Just wondering where you picked up the little pail at. This is a good idea too. Could be used for sun flower seeds,peanuts,bird seed or anything else. Any information would be appreciated. Have a nice day and thanks.
Squirrels love Adirondack chairs. Or is it what you put on them they like to eat? I think you're right, those would sell.
Love the breakdown of the margins. Great work by all of you!
Thank you!
By the way, I picked through just my scrap-pile, and I have enough to produce at least one these from off-cuts. If I can, I'm going to make all 3 from just off-cuts and scrap.
Great idea!
my arm is being twisted to purchase a set of plans to see your layout for them.
I believe that the seat dim are reversed the dim the 4 1/2 should be 4 1/4 ? .75 +.75 +4 1/4 = 5 3/4 fence picket.
You said those watches were made from "Bogalusa" longleaf pine trees. Are you referring to lumber from the old Bogalusa Lumber Company? Just curious because I am from Bogalusa. I live in Georgis now, but i was raised in Bogalusa.
Yep. The timbers were stamped "Bogalusa Longleaf". All from the Bogalusa Lumber company.
Great video as always. When using fence pickets do you sand them down first? If so, do you just a hand sander or a drum sander, or????????
Loved all the builds, but... I am partial to the chair build myself..
I love the idea of working with the cedar fence pickets.. $$$$
Thanks...
Awesome, thank you!
Great
Thank you.
Where could I sell headboards I like making them and for how much... thank-you
So I bought the plans for two projects…. And I’m running into an issue. I’m in the north east in MA. It seems like cedar pickets are not available for purchase or to ship to me from the big box stores. Only thing I have available is pressure treated pine and pressure treated southern yellow pine.
Enjoy watching your videos. I’ve noticed that many times when ripping boards you will rip halfway and flip your material and finish the cut. Any benefit to this?
It keeps my fingers farther away from the blade and keeps me from reaching over the blade or walking to the other side for the off feed
I completely agree with the high profit, low cost. Don't care what it is, that's how I roll. I enjoy making stuff with my hands, with my family and friends. Thank You my friend, for another great video.
Right on
@MatthewPeechWoodworking I'd like to start by saying ty sir for great money builds
I have to ask Mr peech sir you thought of doing online woodworking courses sir
Following the margin , thanks for helping this simple new guy out.
BTW, I have drank the Peech Tea …. :)
Lol thanks for the support
Watching these videos drives me nuts. The word Profit is something that is being misused extensively on UA-cam. A man is compensated for his labour, and there is no profit as he just gets compensated better on some projects than others. Profit on the other hand is a business or merchant term. There is no labour or value added, just a mark up on the product they bought and are reselling for a profit. The point I am trying to make is that if operating correctly a man's labour is not taxable, but all merchant or business profit or income is taxable. It really comes down to understanding how to operate in this world or multiple jurisdictions.
Hey Matt. I ordered this plan from you on ETSY. just curious if it’s coming in the mail or email?
I went to your etsy site thinking you could order plans and jigs to build those small squirrel chairs. but I guess its digital download info only. I dont have the means to print out the plans and jigs, can I please mail order these plans and jigs??
How about making some "rough" musical stringed instruments? :)
Sadly so many intermediate and new woodworkers are making this product that the price has fallen drastically. Common case of supply and demand. Even the custom ones are priced very similar. You always have to stay one step ahead on the trends!
I used to live in michigan. Now i live in florida. Can alot of these be made for this area? We live just west of jacksonville. Thanks
I love Norm's Adirondack chair but he used cypress which would cost over $200 for the lumber.
So make that version for yourself.
Yea!
Bought your plans for the Martin bird houses and the Adirondack feeder. Are you coating these with any type of wood preservative or selling as is because they are cedar or pine fence? Thanks ... trying to learn.
Also it is a lot harder to take full size chairs to a sale
True story. You can fit a lot more in your vehicle when they are smaller.
I worry that without a corn cob on there that a squirrel jumping could impel itself on that screw. Maybe the little bucket is a better idea
Thank you for beating it into stubborn woodworkers that it's about making money not impressing people for $2.16 an hour labor rate.
Truth!
painting or staining seems to take the most of my time. If I build 8 pf some thing. 3 different applications. 1 stain, 2 different colors.
People think squirrels are cute. They do not understand the damage they can do to your house or they wouldnt be building these lol I have a different reason for liking these. Very cute and sell very quickly as bait stands as well. Love the videos bud keep'em rollin'
Very true lol thanks!
My vote goes to the picnic table. Fewest cuts and fastest/easiest assembly. And considering you can get 2 from 1 pence picket, best bang for the buck IMHO. Quick, easy way to make $40-$50 from a single $3 piece of material. Also, adirondack chairs tend to be regional (I'm not knocking them, that's what I make/sell). But everybody everywhere likes a good picnic table (which I also make/sell🤣...for that very reason)
Fair enough! Thanks for the input.
Since you give us so much free knowledge, I’d like to submit a slogan for your watches free of charge:
“Wear a piece of time as a timepiece.” ⌚️
Thanks!
Just recently start following you.
Have you thought about making homes for our native pollinators? Leaf cutters, bubble bees, mason bees and t the like?
I haven’t. Great idea! Thanks
This is a hard one... all of them are neck and neck and neck... Honestly, it is a coin toss for me for the Swing and your chair with the picnic table just being edged out! Didn't stop me from getting the plans for all three!!! Would have loved to have seen more about the jigs you made for making the chair! Any chance those might hit your shop?
Thanks! Unfortunately not. Once you get one built you’ll be able to pull together a jig easily
Your Bridge City Tool wall is nothing short of amazing. I don’t even think about women anymore
Hahaha! I love it. Thank you.
