Liked your video. Be glad when I can get in my shop again. Since I fell my balance is not very good ( I'm 90 yrs. old ) but I love to make things out of wood
Sorry to hear you had a fall but it makes me so happy to know you are still doing woodworking at 90! I hope to be able to still be making things from wood at that age! thank you for your comment and I will pray for you to be able to get back at it soon.
Thanks for turning me onto the Minwax stain. It does dry a little fast but get used to it. And they have a ton of colors. Thanks for the project ideas!
Good morning!!! Thanks for all the great videos!!! These trees are awesome...you're a genius!!! You might want to lock your bedroom door tonight...Batman looked a little pissed!!!
It’s funny. I started making these a few weeks ago, based on your original video. This new video is a lot easier to follow. Thanks for the great content. ❤
Not a 9-5 job but yes a job, UA-cam and selling things but I am trying to break free from the job thing and do UA-cam and woodworking fulltime. Thank you for your comment.
I was trying to figure out what what svrap was and I even googled it. I was thinking it was some advanced woodworking term then I realized it was probably supposed to say scrap wood!! 😂😂😂 I subscribed to your channel.
Enjoyed the video man and subscribed finally. Question about your sales tactics though. I always go back and forth on free shipping for items depending on the size and cost. On the trees I assume you are charging shipping otherwise you would not make enough to cover the shipping cost correct? Thanks in advance.
when I started etsy they really pushed for free shipping. they gave sellers better search results if they offered free shipping and I always heard customers like free shipping better even If your product had a higher price point. So I added the cost of shipping to each tree. it sucked because when people bought one tree the profit was low because of shipping but I made up for it with the larger orders.
Thanks for the video. Any chance you have a total after expenses, shipping and fees? At this point your video could be more educational... but your style is great. Thanks!
I don't really have a breakdown for just the trees because I made a lot of different things and the trees were just one of them. I can tell you I made 9 trees from 1 stick of 1x2. I made $98.91 from those 9 trees. The 1x2 cost from $1.75 to $4.50. Shipping is hard to say because the orders ranged from 1 tree to sometimes 10+ so the more they purchased the bigger the profit. My average order was probably $30 and $5-$8 went to shipping.
its the water based minwax. They mix it for you at Lowes. I can't remember if this one needed to be mixed or if they have it on the shelf. I normally do two coats but you can do the second coat like an hour later because this stuff dries so fast.
Hey bud, I made the 5 piece trees before from an earlier video. I also made the mountains too. When I stain them, I don't like the cloth I use, result doesn't look as sharp as yours. Do you have a link to the cloth you use or is it locally bought n what exactly is it. Cheers!
Hey brother, I'm so glad you made them from my videos!! I just get the rags from Walmart. They are made by hyper tough and they're in the home improvement section. One thing I do to get a better finish is sand the wood with 120 grit sandpaper. hope this helps.
I subscribed because all of your toys kept holding signs at me.😁
That means they are earning their paychecks!! 😂😂😂 Thanks for the sub!

No problem, I am glad you found the information in the video helpful. I have used a bunch of the colors and they are great. thanks for the comment.
I watch lots of videos of DIY UA-camrs, I never subscribe - but you’ve earned it for actually showing your ETSY page for proof of sales 👍👌
Thank you, I appreciate the sub and the comment.
As your wonderful sister, I am requesting a gold glitter one and silver glitter one!! ❤ Oh, by the way, where is my favorite Iron Man???
Great choices! I'd put little dollar tree fairy lights on them too! ;)

No problem! But you'll have to make me more stew!!!
Oh! The silver and gold glitter ones would be so pretty!!! I need to make some for my sister. 😊
Good morning!!! Thanks for all the great videos!!! These trees are awesome...you're a genius!!! You might want to lock your bedroom door tonight...Batman looked a little pissed!!!

Thanks brother, I have been practicing making better videos. Thank you for the comment.
❤ You can water down green paint and use it like stain, it gives your project a rustic look. Great video.

Can I ask the large tree that you add the post to what size 1 by did you use
No problem, it was 1x8.
Ive made xmas trees like that, but i put a wide base to hold a tea cup candle. Everyone seems to love them
I like the look of those. I have seen them on UA-cam. I saw one where the guy 45ed all the edges.
Do you have a 9 to 5 job or only youtube/selling projects? Your videos are very helpful!! That barn red is a very nice color.
Not a 9-5 job but yes a job, UA-cam and selling things but I am trying to break free from the job thing and do UA-cam and woodworking fulltime. Thank you for your comment.
@@jascogoods Keep it up, I truly hope it works out for you!!
Fun svrap wood projects

@@jascogoods always keep em guessing..

Do you use 120 for your belt sander??
Yes i normally use 120. I have 150 too but you can hardly tell the difference.

What white stain do you use? I’ve tried to use white a couple times and it never looks good
its the water based minwax. They mix it for you at Lowes. I can't remember if this one needed to be mixed or if they have it on the shelf. I normally do two coats but you can do the second coat like an hour later because this stuff dries so fast.
@ my intelligent self never even thought about doing a second coat 🤦🏻♂️. I’ll give that a shot. Thank you sir!
Question about Etsy. Do you need to claim Etsy profits as income?
Yes if you make over a certain amount you do. I think the amount depends on where you live.
Did you say you used a 1 -X -tree ??
(1x3.. get it? 1x tree??
😂😂😂 That would have been good if I said that in the video! Missed opportunities 😂.

When do you start selling Christmas gear?
I usually start in September but it starts getting really but in the beginning of November all the way till the middle of December.
Hey, Congratulations on your Nigerian Prince!!!
😂😂😂Thanks brother!!
@@jascogoods 🤣🤣🤣
Why do you use stain and not paint?
How do you sell your Christmas trees or candles when l ( Gabriel ) have a hard time selling one . Nobody in New Mexico will not spend there money.
I sold them on etsy. have you ever tried etsy?
