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).
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.
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.?
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!
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.
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
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?
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.
Great video, thanks. I'm a carpenter and I'm broke due to my house flooding, all my tools lost in flood and no insurance so I'm happy to hear I may be able to make money to buy more tools buy making simple things. How do you market your items, whe should i advertise? Btw, I'm in Australia. That realter cutting board idea is great! Jae
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! :)
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

Hey, really love your video. Quick question. If you are a beginner how do you find customers say for a coffee table? Do you just use your own money to make a sample coffee table for your portfolio and hope someone likes it and buys it?
Nope, just approach people and draw pictures, show previous work, etc. Keep watching our channel, we have a few videos that cover all this. Or check out our programs if you want to learn a little faster.
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.
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 got a question for you both 😁 or anyone who comes across this comment I’m a first time wood carver only as a hobby right though though and at the beginning where you go on about desks I was just wondering could you give me an idea for a carving decking work station, thank you for your time to read this 🙂
Wow. New subscriber here. Not exactly sure how I didn't stumble on your channel sooner, but I'm here. Great ideas. I'll check out the rest of your stuff.
I enjoyed your video even though my crafts don't extend into woodworking...yet. 😁. I'm super curious about the knickknack shelf in your kitchen. Did you make it? Is it very difficult to make do you think? It is thin pale wood made into boxes to hold collectibles. Information on how to make one would be great! Thanks!
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 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.
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.
How do you get all the metal legs and frames? is it coming pre shaped? do you shape it? I see that you weld stuff, but welding is one thing, forging is another
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 🙏🙏😁😁😁
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❤️👫🏼❤️🧍🏻❤️
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 :)
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 live in Texas and have made 2 coffee tables and a small wine cabinet. After 3 shows people love the craftmanship I put into the projects but no sales. I have them priced below what you would pay in Dallas area. Am I missing something?
YES!!! You're pricing your items too low. Also shows aren't the best place to sell luxury goods (ever wonder why you can't buy name brand shoes at Walmart? Not the right store for a performance brand...) I know you would make a ton of sales if you found the right customers. I grew up in the Dallas area.... SO MUCH MONEY within such a small radius. You should be charging a premium to a very select group of clientele. Watch our video with a Ferris Wheel in the thumbnail and our video about price varying by location - that should get you started!!! If you don't mind, I'd love to hear about your progress, please subscribe and keep commenting!
I made some desktop cell phone holders made out of wood Hayden red-white-and-blue put them on Marketplace and they never sold is there a trick to getting something sold let me know please
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.

Great video, I learn a lot. I was think about making a few cutting boards as Christmas gifts. I was set to orser my wood (walnut & maple) but was floored by the price of 5/4 lumber. How thick do you make your cutting boards? Maybe I need to re-think this idea. BTW, there is no such thing as nice crocs!
Haha thanks! Yeah 5/4 is a little expensive, especially if you're shipping it. We usually use 4/4 and the finished boards end up with a real-world 5/8 of an inch thick.
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.

Good video with good tips...I like you guys...informative and entertaining...I'm subscribing....trying to find a side hustle to build into a full time business eventually so i can trade the 9-5 grind for. Work from home biz..
Great video, I learn a lot. I was think about making a few cutting boards as Christmas gifts. I was set to orser my wood (walnut & maple) but was floored by the price of 5/4 lumber. How thick do you make your cutting boards? Maybe I need to re-think this idea.
BTW, there is no such thing as nice crocs!
Haha thanks! Yeah 5/4 is a little expensive, especially if you're shipping it. We usually use 4/4 and the finished boards end up with a real-world 5/8 of an inch thick.
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.
Thank you so much! Best of luck on getting all those ideas started - we're excited for you.
What color stain did you use for the ladder
What kind of wood is recomended for cutting boards
Hard woods - so like oak, hickory, walnut, maple
@@jennieanddavis thanks!
glad to know you guys use plain woods. Nothing like these island exotics I get all day.
How much would you price the cutting board and blanket rack at?
Hi, I want to become a carpenter in the future and I would be very grateful for any kind of advice you may have ? 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.
Thank you!! We'll see if we can't sneak him in some more videos lol
I've never heard of a blanket ladder, interesting.
Your kidding right?

So, Why is it actually useful?? What's the point?? To hold blankets??....for show?? It doesn't seem so necessary though....🤷♀️🤷♀️
