Business tip from the comments section... when discussing the repeat business idea around the coffee table, keep a log of what customers have purchased with wood type, finish used, what size router bit you used for the edge, joinery type and measurements, and photos. Then when they want an additional piece to match, you have more than just your memory to help you match the previous build that may be some time ago. Also re-scaling for different size main boards is one thing, but if you used a 1/4" round-over bit on a large piece, scaling it down too much for narrower boards on a smaller piece may look like you left out that detail to many non-woodworkers. Keeping routed and or carved details the same size helps tie the pieces together visually.
Thank you for the tips! I won't know how valuable they are until I actually have a customer, but they look very valuable just from my current, limited viewpoint! Cheers!
Good thinking - some sort of digital filing/orders-system - with photos (product-video) - so it can serve as a portfolio as well. Would be great if you then can share it online too (without any customer-details, obviously): either on your site or with a customized link (for prospective clients).
Just recently retired and want to make a bit of money with my hobby which happens to be woodworking and you two gave me great inspiration to push forward with some of my dreams and projects that I haven't time to do until now. Watched your video and instantly subscribed and will continue to follow your work. Thank you so much and good luck to both of you! Old-school woodworker and Cedar City Utah
Since I read *TopFineWoodworking. Com* , I think nothing will ever surpass it as an outstanding woodworking book. The book consists of attractive images as well as drawings and also reader-friendly text. I consider this book a "must have" since it supplies a broad range of information on just about everything working with woodworking and does it quite well.?
You guys are obviously on the right track. *PRO TIP Stop saying up-charge. When people hear the word 'charge' it tends to heighten their senses and make them weary do to the fight or flight response. Instead, use up-sale as the term when selling to or training people. The word sale makes people think they are getting a bargain or a deal. Using the prefix 'up' preloads people's subconscious to think 'more'. Resulting into the person subconsciously hearing; more bargain. When people think they are getting a bargain it lightens the mood. For them to think they are actually getting more of a deal causes their mood to elevate into an even better place and will be more apt to making the purchase. Training people to sell works similarly. The same kinds of reactions happen in the brain, only the person selling feels better about making the sale because of the similar sense that a deal is being given. Good luck with everything.
I agree. "Up-charge" is a different term which means to charge more for an item. A car dealer has a documentation fee, or "doc fee" which is an example of an up-charge. It's the act of charging more than the usual price, not a good long term strategy for a business. "Up-sell" is the term to use. Good salesmanship uses up-selling to add value to the customer's purchase, while also increasing the company's income. Good for the customer, and the business. I wanted to comment on the term "up-charge," so I was pleased to see that someone else had noticed the issue. I thought that it would be appropriate to leave the comment here. I also wanted to be clear that the correct phrase is "up-sell" not "up-sale," which likely means autocorrect has probably claimed another victim. I enjoy the channel, and I hope this comment is helpful.
I love that blanket ladder. My wife crochets blankets for resale and this would be a great way to display them at craft shows. I may even make a few extra so sell at the show as well. Great video.
As a novice carpenter looking to make some side cash, this is one of the single most helpful videos I have ever watched. Ever. If I could give this two thumbs up, I would.
I don't usually like and subscribe but your info in the past couple videos I have watched of yours have earned likes, the dobie pushed it over the top and you have a new sub!
You guys are both really helpfull. Davis is stern and keeps things serious. And Jennie has an extraordinarily illubiquitious personality. I bet davis appreciates her emensly.
I was able to retire at 50, and the first thing I did was build a woodworking shop. That was nine years ago and this fall I am adding on to the shop so I can have more assembly room. I've been woodworking since I was 10 when I fell in love with it in my grandfather's shop where he taught me most of what I know about the hobby. I make all kinds of things for friends and family, but it was only recently I thought about possibly sell my items. I love your channel and I just subscribed. Ironically, this is the first of your videos that I have watched! Talk about timing!! PS-Jenny do you have a sister who also has a youtube channel?
So this is where Stephanie tanner went! Lol. Great content guys. Been amateur building stuff for years and finally moved into a house with an area for my tools and such. Was considering doing a small business making some basic furniture. This gave me some insight as to what it would be like
Love the concept of your home based woodworking business venture. Spending quality time w/ your loved one in the shop, making $, is full of WIN! Wish U great success....very cool!
@@emme6055 starts at 09:09mins. So, Why is it actually useful?? What's the point?? To hold blankets??....for show?? It doesn't seem so necessary though....🤷♀️🤷♀️
I’ve built all of these except for the cutting board , probably the easiest pro-duct. Great tips for beginners! Guess I’m going to make myself a cutting board.
Really appreciate your channel. Living in Iowa and wanting to get back into woodworking again, and love seeing how you make things work as you grow. Keep up the great videos
Thanks so much! This was awesome. I've been considering a career change and realized that I already build so many cool carpentry projects...might as well start trying to sell them :)
Woodworking is more of a hobby for me, but I run a music studio as my main source of income - what most people don't realize is that they need to learn the business aspects of what they do - customer follow up, sales etc. If they thought this in music school, more of my friends would have successful careers. Good job bringing these things to light.
we me and twin brother [16yo] we been making silhouettes of nearly everything but this past winter we make over 5000 rabbits or bunnies, have 8 different poses or styles, on the Easter show and sale in end of march we sold 1500 in 1 day. everyone wants a few bunnies on their front lawn or..... currently we have a huge demand for cat scratching poles, got 130 orders in over the past few weeks, word of mouth help us sell stuff.
You guys are awesome! I'm a painter who's been wanting to get into wordworking for a while, and after watching this video I think I could make some money at it without having to go to a trade school! :)
As a new maker, I greatly appreciate the content of your videos. You guys are very humorous and you content is very applicable. Great job and thank you. Tim White, Aberdeen, MS
I mostly make small accessories like tooth brush holders hair brush holders drier holders and shelf’s out of oak and I’m looking for a joint venture their isn’t anything better than team work that makes the dream work.
epoxy kitchen tables is a really GREAT idea. That is a money maker right there! Epoxy cutting boards, would make things stand out better than regular cutting boards.
@@jennieanddavis Community Center Director for distressed youth and adults, we deal in truant and probation court orders, either join our program or go to jail. We prefer to keep them out of the system.
I never thought of cutting boards. Some houses here are built without a built in cutting. Every one needs a cutting board. think of the decorations I could make for a handle on a small cutting board. thank you.
Great presentation, nice business tips! Never heard of a blanket ladder before. Proves that people will buy anything. Would like to see more of your dog.
Great tips guys! I really liked that tip from Bruce about the cutting boards would never have thought about business gifts like that. Also that ladder is awesome and something easy to make, store and not a pain in the ass to get home for the customer. 🙌🏼
There are things you learn by trial and error. I started a remodeling business in the DFW Metroplex from 2003 to 2008. We all know what happened in 2008. I said all that to say this. You can be the best widget maker in the world. But if you dont know how to price your work you can be the best broke widget maker. What I seem to struggle with is charging for my time and skill. Any ideas on how to be consistant with your pricing. I built my cousin a Bar Table at my house and I want to sell more them as a side business. I am not sure how to price it. I can send a picture if you would like to see it. Thanks for your Time Tim B
I stumbled on your channel through you video on making a miter saw station. I LOVE what you guys are doing. Thank you for making this content available. My head is swirling with ideas of stuff I can do.
I just found your channel My Hubby retired 3 years ago and we now build and make gifts for our kids we just made our daughter InLaw an 8foot dining table and bench we have now had Many people ask us to make one for them We really don’t want to make our gifts for anyone else LOL But I know we could make some money Our Grandson is a gamer and we are going to make him a desk for Christmas I have a photo book full of all the big and small items that we have made just incase we start to sell
Nice video. I do wood working for myself and some stuff for family as gifts but I've been thinking of starting to sell my cutting boards because people seem to love them. Personally I absolutely hate Oak. The color is meh and the grain just looks gross to me. My favorite wood is Hickory. Absolutely beautiful. I did the stairs and railings in my house with Hickory. The other 2 I like is knotty pine and Mulberry. I'm designing plans to make a 9 seat round kitchen table set from Hickory and cherry.
Much obliged to the creator of this plan for sharing such awesome work of yours in an extremely moderate expense [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. The nature of the work and the materials far surpasses the cost. This is the best offer as such.?
I always find it funny that a lot of woodworkers seem to be missing trim around their door. Not judging at all. I know how it is. Doing things like that just end up on the back burner. Best of luck with your business.
I saw you for the first time and I don't know why I felt that I knew you a long time ago about our star. Wonderful. I love you too. I swear I love you and I don't know why❤️👫🏼❤️🧍🏻❤️
I'm a lifelong mechanic. Recently I had to build a couple of wheelchair ramps for my grandmother and became really interested in woodworking and decided to make picnic tables (dining table quality) and swings to sell. I just built my first project today, a farmhouse style picnic table with white legs/frame/underside of top and benches and shou sugi ban style top and benches. I don't know what I should ask for it though.
Well presented & you guys make a great team! Subscribed!! And I don't know why so many people thumbsdowned this. Some people just like to watch the world burn. Or have nothing better to do. Keep up the great work!
Absolutely amazing 🤩 that you’re sharing your business tips with everyone!!! Thanks for sharing your top insights!! Going to be watch8ng more, as I begin on this. Very start Of it all, as I’ve been dreaming about doing some of this stuff 🙏🙏😁😁😁
@@Itsthatoneguy371 I've tried to standardize what I offer in order to keep my production fast and my communication with the clients succinct. This comes after a lot of trial and error in my marketplace as to what will sell and what is not popular. So, I just offer two sizes, and I typically make them out of maple or white oak. That way, there are not too many options for them to get paralyzed with. Sometimes, if you give buyers too many options, they can't make up their mine. And one of my up-sells is custom laser engraving. I have two basic designs for them to customize for their clients, so I'm not having to reinvent the design process every time.
Bruce A. Ulrich thanks for the tips. My zip code is pretty popular and sells quick. Maybe I can get the garage cleaned out before the house selling season is over and batch out a few. What kind of laser engraver do you use?
Brian Bishop Yeah, do it. One thing a lot of real estate people are bad about, is putting their name and their real estate brokers name all over the stuff that they give to their clients. Well, as a homeowner, do you want that stuff plastered all over your house? No! So, encourage the real estate person to put the clients name on the front of it and maybe their real estate brokers name on the back of it and it will still be a statement piece that they will actually set out and use but it will accomplish all of the goals
Jokes aside I appreciate the video. I Just quit my main job as a construction carpenter to work in my wood shop. I do also guide backpacking trips but I need to start making projects and had no idea where to start. I have epoxy river stuff made and I'd like to know where to find customers next, if y'all are looking for ideas.
Comfortable feet when standing around doing woodwork for extended periods can be important, but so is foot protection. Dropping a heavy or sharp tool on your foot with crocs on can be dangerous. Please carefullly weigh your options and priorities when it comes to comfort vs safety.

Hey thanks for the shout-out! Yeah, those Realtors' clients eat it up. Some good tips in there!
Bruce A. Ulrich what kind of pricing do you offer to them? Based on size / volume/ material or just this is what you pay per cutting board?
@@Itsthatoneguy371 I've tried to standardize what I offer in order to keep my production fast and my communication with the clients succinct. This comes after a lot of trial and error in my marketplace as to what will sell and what is not popular. So, I just offer two sizes, and I typically make them out of maple or white oak. That way, there are not too many options for them to get paralyzed with. Sometimes, if you give buyers too many options, they can't make up their mine. And one of my up-sells is custom laser engraving. I have two basic designs for them to customize for their clients, so I'm not having to reinvent the design process every time.
Bruce A. Ulrich thanks for the tips. My zip code is pretty popular and sells quick. Maybe I can get the garage cleaned out before the house selling season is over and batch out a few.
What kind of laser engraver do you use?
Brian Bishop Yeah, do it. One thing a lot of real estate people are bad about, is putting their name and their real estate brokers name all over the stuff that they give to their clients. Well, as a homeowner, do you want that stuff plastered all over your house? No! So, encourage the real estate person to put the clients name on the front of it and maybe their real estate brokers name on the back of it and it will still be a statement piece that they will actually set out and use but it will accomplish all of the goals
@@Itsthatoneguy371 I use a Glowforge laser engraver
Jokes aside I appreciate the video. I Just quit my main job as a construction carpenter to work in my wood shop. I do also guide backpacking trips but I need to start making projects and had no idea where to start. I have epoxy river stuff made and I'd like to know where to find customers next, if y'all are looking for ideas.
Caught my attention and a new subscriber!
(watches video about wood projects, Goes out and buys crocs)
Lol! Nooooooooo! Hahah!
Comfortable feet when standing around doing woodwork for extended periods can be important, but so is foot protection. Dropping a heavy or sharp tool on your foot with crocs on can be dangerous. Please carefullly weigh your options and priorities when it comes to comfort vs safety.
Thank you!
