My jig saw broke about 6 months ago. So I didn’t make any curved cuts until I got a commission for a small fishing rod holder. The jig saw I wanted to upgrade to cost $80, so I charged him $80 for a rod holder and bought the jigsaw. :)
Hey man, I really love seeing you two grow in your skills and your enthusiasm. Get you a VOC respirator for spraying, and particulate filters for your respirator for sanding. We want to keep you around for a long time.
Did you make the frame for these nightstands or did you purchase them from somewhere?
I upgrade my equipment when one of four things happen.
1). When an old tool breaks, I upgrade it.
2). When a job requires a better quality tool.
3). When an extremely good deal pops up - example, end of financial year deals or pre/post Christmas deals.
4). I go out and spend money on a whim.
My wife hates number 4 and I guess I can’t really blame her but I’m a lot better with money these days than when I started my business a few years ago.
Oftentimes, 3 and 4 happen at the same time. Occasionally 1 or 2 happen at the same time as 3 and that always leaves a nice feeling inside.
What a fantastically put together video. Cannot believe this channel isn't already at 100k
Tell your internet friends!!! hahaha thank you very much for the encouragement.
@@jennieanddavis hey do you have your dimensions for this? I have some aluminum that looks exactly like this, just wondering what your measurements where? Thanks
You might consider obtaining a good quality jointer, your table tops show the edges where they are joiner together. Or the cheaper mether is to buy yourself a good No 5 hand plane and smooth the edges. Either way you obtain a more professional look to your furniture. One other method you may consider is to use hand scrapers to finish your table tops. By using different thicknesses you can obtain a smoothness you will never get with a sander. And oh, that sawdust on the floor or in the bag, that leaves a better smoothness and finish when you vigorously run the wood with it. Just a couple of thoughts.
$1000 with no joinery? Pocket hole screws and screwed together butt joints. When you find that sucker send them my way. Not that there's anything wrong with pocket hole screws and butt joints but for $1000 dollars I would need to see some half lap dovetails or something.
@@jennieanddavis lol!😂
Because we wouldn't buy it? @@jennieanddavis
I love your zoom of youth .The pieces look nice. I am a retired finish carpenter. May I suggest that you make your drawer boxes with the side pieces overlapping the front and the back pieces so as to cover up plywood end-grain.. and also make the joints there of in shear rather than in tension. I tend to like the drawer box to be made from hardwood rather than plywood also, as it looks nicer and more professional. Keep up the good work !!
Send that sucker your way?
Any big box import furniture store sells questionable quality furniture lacking traditional joinery every single day.
So when you talk about joinery realize most people do not inspect the construction as long as it holds up.
Most people don't know what you are talking about and don't care to retain the information after you explain it.
Dovetails are great (my preferred drawer method because PC made an excellent jig which makes them quick and easy), but it does not make the sale. The overall look makes the sale along with the idea of it being a one of a kind custom piece.
If they start making more drawers, it makes perfect sense to imvest money in a good dovetail jig. For now that is not his focus.
It cracks me up how many comments they delete, i assume it's Ol' Davis.
Awesome and inspirational.... its took your channel to get me to sale my first table. thanks pls keep with the amazing videos.
How to win friends and influence people is a great sales book.
If your tools are in good working order, there’s no need to replace them. When you start a business you have to be smart about how much money you’re putting out.
put some edge banding on the top of the drawers?
content is informative and class,but more than that the bgm feels like heaven. usually people on u tube spoil good contents with shitty ear shattering bgm. but i guess u guys have done ur research well.
Smart Man! You will do really good at what you do, good luck.
Wow, great progress!
What adhesive do you use to secure the wood to the metal? Do you fabricate your own metal structures?
"It's not gonna break, it'll break your foot, but it's not gonna break". Best sales pitch ever. lol
I love your enthusiasm & I hope you succeed with your business endeavours buddy 👍👍👍👍
Machines are not the only way to get things done. Sometimes u just need to find another way to get it done.
I have never turned down a job because I didn’t have the machine to do something. Hand tools work even better than machines on some things.
Great video!
upgrade equipment when 1. what you have breaks 2. when the modest improvements you make allow you to sell your old stuff for more than you paid for it to put towards the new tool.
Jealous!! Love the reclaimed wood look!!
You kept referring to the cookie and the slabs as “reclaimed “ isn’t reclaimed actually reusing previously used wood for something new?
Ahh ok, so the dimensional lumber bought at the big box store is reclaimed too then right??
@@jennieanddavis , that makes no sense at all, unless you buy a service from a shop, you will be buying a product....So everything I make is then "reclaimed"
@@jennieanddavis You catch SO much shit, but you comment on all your comments? Mike Farrington is a good one to look at. Guy is close to a master. Cut your teeth on something other then WEN tools and stifle your attitude. There are people on here commenting that have done this for a lifetime but you wanna run your mouth at every comment. I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. The point of someone making a custom piece is largely longevity, which you seem to have missed. Looking forward to your comment about your bank account....
I'm sold.
Hi
Did you just spray paint the metal frame?
Great content guys
is that just angle iron enamel coated? welded together or what? Looks beautiful and your insight throughout the video was really reassuring. Finishing up my first ever for profit wood piece. Making a sofa for my sister.
Have you tried the threaded inserts with the steel and wood builds? I have had great results in regards to wood movement by over sizing the holes a bit and making up the difference with fender washers.
Great comments about business side of things.
Wait until you have a customer that wants something with the new feature and then purchase the tool. Adds a little time until the project will be delivered, but then you didn't buy something you may never need.
Hey great video! What adhesive did you use for wood to metal?
What brand miter saw is that ?? Ridgid? If so what model
Great videos! Learning a lot from you guys. Where did you get the metal frame for the night stands?
Steel supplier. Google for one or ask around at hardware/ranch stores for a local one!
where did you get the metal frames?
Welded them together in the previous video!
Did you make the table? Have someone build it? Or something else?
Looks great! Is there a place you’d recommend for those metal legs?
Yeah your shop with a welder. 😉
Nice tables too.
Do you have any recommendations for books on sales?
Can you do a video on how you made the leg frames
he didn't make them
Did you make the metal frame?
Please be careful with your fingers when you use the table saw, use the stick. Friendly greetings from Mexico:)
What size are the square steel?
For any future folks watching this, do NOT spray any kind of paint, sealant, stain, varnish, etc. without a respirator!!!! It will catch up to you and what it does to your lungs is not reversible!!
I would like to see some skilled work from you two.
As soon as we see money from someone who wants to pay for it, you will!
How did ypu price that a 1000 dollqre
Did you make the frame or buy them?
Made them! Check out the "how to learn to weld" video
I actually own a small wood working business.
Key is get good references
And have amazing pictures.
Within 6 months I'm swamped.
All through Facebook market place
Where I live they wouldn’t pay over £45 for it
Jennie and Davis ... you will NOT attract customers who want quality workmanship and who are willing to pay for it unless you demonstrate that you can do quality work. Construction grade material and homeowner grade workmanship will only take you so far.
Also, it is the little details that matter most. Did anyone notice the grain on the top is 90 degrees from the grain on the bottom shelf. And dovetails on the drawers would go a long way. Savvy customers know the difference between your just saying, “I make quality stuff” and actual quality in the product. I have been in business for over 40 years (not doing woodworking) and I am not trying to slam you. I love your enthusiasm and drive, but you seem very reluctant to accept advise from seasoned woodworkers and seasoned business people. Sure there are haters on most every you tube channel. But most people that comment want to offer helpful advise and don’t want to see you fail. They take time to try to be helpful. YOU TWO REALLY NEED TO BE A LITTLE MORE RECEPTIVE.
One more thought... talking about how much money you made and how easy it is to make lots of money, etc in a public forum will drive away the budget-minded, low-end customer. It is just not good business practice. Customers will decide on their own if your products have value and those people who are thinking about starting a wood working business can figure out if they can make money at this. You are relatively new business people. Stop trying to sound like experts and give sage advise. You have not reached that point yet. Good luck.
I don't want the budget-minded, low-end customer. I appreciate your feedback but we're not going to change - we're making too many happy customers (and not to mention money) just the way we are now!
@@jennieanddavis This comment right here is all I need to read to know you care more about making money than you do about the quality of you work. Someone with such little knowledge and experience in the field, and you are more focused on finding some rich sucker to bankroll your hobby instead of actually taking every job like you say in your video to help hone your craft. Just another low-end creator trying to ponzi scheme people into buying your "get rich quick" advice. Half of this video was unnecessary "filler" to get it over the 10 minute mark for advertising ability. Not to mention you only have 50k subscribers, but have a merch store? I feel bad for the people that fell for your deceptive practices.
Who built the frames
$1000 man idk
Suggestion when you put comments "on screen" leave on just a little longer.... I know some of the on screen comments are meant to be jokes or Easter eggs and that's OK but others are a little too fast for the slow readers and/or those that can't fully focus on watching the video and listen more. Thanks
I totally understand what you mean, however many viewers leave the video when text is on the screen any longer than a few seconds. If you need to pause the video, that's OK but if I leave text up too long and people leave, the video doesn't reach as many people. Thanks for understanding, this UA-cam game is full of tradeoffs.
I'm sorry but you couldn't sell those for 1k here NOT even close to it.. Maybe 250 at most for the set...lol
I bet I could. Check out our recent video on price variation. That's not true - you totally could if you found the right buyer
I think this is a great little upstart channel buy that was click bait. I hate to say it but no, those aren't 500 a piece nightstands. 200-250 each... Yes.
If you can sleep at night pawning this hobby trash off for these prices go for it. You’re putting a lot of bad work out there though, it will eventually hit a critical
Mass and start to come back at you. Nothing is free.
they are not worth that much. visible pocket screws holding the drawer bottom on? That is why they make Dado sets. High school shop class makes higher quality pieces.
Most particle baord stands on Amazon and ikea are that price
More like 40 bucks
right! im my area you would be lucky to find some that will give you $40 for it! sad but true. Money is tight.
$1000 for a stand. Even if I made it I don’t see how the work I put in justifies $1000 when they could buy the same thing somewhere else for $300. I guess I just really don’t understand the building and selling process
Price is fake! You're thinking like a poor person - other people will pay LOADS of money for convenience, status, nostalgia, etc.
Share your experience dont give advice on what you dont have...yet good luck
Bullshit you'll get $1000 for the set from any buyer for what you built. If you're gonna sell your scam business via UA-cam, at least try to be honest about the income potential that can be generated through a working system...
13:00 “I make quality stuff”.... silicone/construction adhesive used to attach the false drawer sides and back, visible pocket hole screws/ top attached with construction adhesive/no jointing of edges before they’re glued......yeah, no you don’t!
I make quality stuff.....out of dimensional lumber.
You would NEVER get $1000 dollars for those in my area. I would be lucky to get $100 for the pair. Sad but true, money is tight and not many want to part with it.
Then you're looking for customers in the wrong places. See our video on price varying by location!
@@jennieanddavis the whole state of Maine is like that.
Wtf u talking too much
