    A great idea! Perfect for craft fairs. I just did one and wasn’t the right venue for my higher end art pieces. This however would probably have sold well. I’d like to take it a step farther and add an edge at the bottom to hold a Kindle or iPad . Now you’d have all your bases covered. Excellent presentation young man 👍🏼👍🏼

      I've only been at it a little over a year, and jumping around a lot, so the subs have been hit and miss. This is the type of content that I've been wanting to focus on, and I felt like this video would do well, but it's taken off more than I thought it would. Don't worry, after the success of this type of video, and considering it's the type of content that I'd rather be making, I'll be making many more in this area. My subs have jumped over 1,600 since posting this video, so it's obvious that this is the type of content I should be focusing on. Appreciate the support!

    I made a prototype of one out of scraps the other day, and decided it looked good enough to practice my finishing on. Much like your experience, I posted it on my personal Facebook page and someone wanted the prototype within a hour of posting, and I had a couple of orders within a few hours, just among my friends, not on my business page. I was totally surprised by the interest on it just within a few hours. Now here I am looking for inspiration and add ons I haven’t thought of and hear the exact same thing I experienced just earlier today lol.

    • @SothpawDesigns
      @SothpawDesigns  Рік тому +1

      It’s funny because I hate the cliche thumbnails “why isn’t everyone making these” but just like you said, as soon as I made it, people started wanting it. I’m actually working on a new Video with some upgrades, like a lip to hold a tablet, a place to mount a pen or highlighter, a page spreader, and an actual drawer that goes inside of the triangle.

    • @Griffinwoodworks

      @@SothpawDesigns I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I thought of maybe adding an eye hook or small dowel from the top of the front to hang a pair of readers, and I also put some small felt furniture pads on the bottom of the one going out tomorrow.

    Nice project that I want to try attempting - I don't have CNC but have basic woodworking tools.
    To recap the base is 12" x 4" and the tall pieces are 7" x 5.25" . Am I right or missing something? Thanks in advance.

    • @SothpawDesigns
      @SothpawDesigns  Рік тому +2

      That’s pretty much it. Cut the angles properly, and if there is any overhang on the sides, you can leave it, or sand, or use a small plane to smooth it off. The CNC/laser is nice for advanced shapes or engraving, but not necessary

    I've come across this video but passed it up a couple of times. I finally watched it and I am so glad I did. First off, I subscribed. Secondly, your explanation is excellent and you providing measurements and walking through, step by step how you make this is also a bonus. Yes it's simple but the most simple things can be the nicest and most profitable. I like the pricing structure and the free engraving. I have an X-Tool pro 40 w so that will make quick work of the engraving. Thanks again and good luck with your channel!!

    @joeguilfoyle1922 Рік тому

    I really like this idea. I just bought a CNC and it's still not put together yet. The 40W laser was backordered and should be here in a week or so. Once I learn and get good at it, I'd like to make one of these for my daughter. I imagine people putting these on their night stand. So, the only thing I might do different is instead of the round part being for a coffee cup, I might put a flat/round phone cordless phone charger there. I know I sleep next to my phone and use it as a back up alarm incase the electricity goes out. Thanks for the video and great idea.

    • @SothpawDesigns

    Omg I just love the ease with which you use your tools. My husband has just retired and he loves woodwork but unfortunately we don’t have any space to set him up. I want him to join the local “Men’s Shed “ and want to buy him some sort of saw/tool to get him started. Can anyone suggest what would be the best thing to buy him to get him going. Thank you 👏❤️🇮🇪

      The first tool that I started with was a table saw. Very versatile and able to make multiple jigs to accomplish many tasks. Here's what I use. amzn.to/3RFPOwE
