  • Grow your woodworking business with "smalls"! Ready for part 2!?! Often times smaller items are looked over by new builders because they are looking for that build that will bring in a nice profit. In this video, I discuss the power of smalls. Ultimately any business comes down to profit margins. I'll give you a few examples of how selling items that anyone can afford can generate crazy sales with very little cost of goods sold!
    Sometimes we overthink things when the most profitable items we are looking past. Let's change that.

    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. czcams.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    Good afternoon, Matt. In recent months my home restoration business has taken off again; so I am doing smaller builds in the workshop. My favorite (and most profitable) project is the garden trellis you recently remade the video on. I'm actually using pressure treated fence pickets so my build cost is less than $5! I've sold nearly 200 trellises at $25 each! The best part is that I have a free spot right next to a very busy road in my hometown to set up a sell my items on the weekends!

      So you literally work for nothing… 20$ sales -5$ material leaves you 15$ to pick up the material, cut, drill, assemble + take time out of your day to sell them… assuming you do things right you have taxes coming out off your profit as well

      @@martin8829 It seems you're missing the idea of mass production.
      You broke down his profit per item.
      It doesn't work that way.
      1 trip to the store. All materials picked-up(not an extra trip, you go when you NEED to) If you have it on order, it's ready to go when you get there.
      At the shop is where the real time is saved.
      Every cut is reproduced quickly , production style. You could cut all the pieces in one shift. For all 200 trellises.
      A couple more shifts to produce them.
      That's not much work for $4000 gross profit.

      @@cattleNhay The point? As I once told a loan officer when questioned about depositing cash in my bank account when she was saying some nonsense like, "It's illegal to do that." I could not help myself, "Do not say stupid statements. What is illegal is not reporting your income. I also collect cash for my rental properties and deposit that money, too. If someone writes me a bad check, then we are on a cash basis moving forward. Check our Income Tax statements and you will see we Legally paid tax on the cast received. NOT reporting it would have been illegal since we have made money." Who cares if the IRS is reading these posts? They have to pay tax on what they earn and spend as well.

    Matt - your videos have been the inspiration I needed to get back into the shop. Smalls are my jam!! There is something very satisfying to me to see finished product. Coasters, bottle openers, recipe book holders, Christmas card holders, candle holders, etc. and with my own twist are filling up my shelves and starting to go out to customers. I've actually made everything over the last month from scraps and material, including hardware, that I already had in the shop. Also, its great to read the comments that your community of followers post to your videos. I've grabbed some ideas about product and the business in general along the way. #gotwood #dirtywood #usedwood #smallsbutnotsmallwood #peach #choosehappy

I am retired (not by choice) and have all the time in the world to experiment and receive inspiration on the things that can be done. We have a lumber mill 3 Mike's from the house that throws out good scrap wood and load up every now and then and use it on many projects. I bought a planner to plan it, I cut down a 100' eastern red cedar tree on our property and have cut many slabs to dabble around with. Many thanks to your video's and informative information!

For a while I was using a Dollar tree saw. My son raiding my tools, burning my drill out and moving all added up to be discouraging. You've inspired me to create again.

I will centralize my woodworking around these "smalls" items like you said.
    One thing that is hard for me to wrap my head around is the concept of being one of many woodworkers and how to separate from every other wood worker out there. Maybe it just seems that way, but seems like its becoming a crowded small business idea.

We both make money and everyone is happy. Smalls is where the money is and if you batch it right, you can listen to music in your shop all day and enjoy the work. Thanks for your videos.

    awesome video brother... I've had my custom shop going for almost 20 years, I do leather wood and metal, it didn't matter whether it was a craft show, flea market or pow-wow, the smalls made the money, I remember many weekends where I would sell $400-$500 worth of handcrafted leather roses in 2 days for $10 each, plus all the other smalls ! I actually designed and made a mini- picnic table similar to the one you showed for the squirrels, but mine held a dollar store salt and pepper shaker set that I included, I sold 2 dozen in one weekend at $15 each, and that was almost 10 years ago.... people love decorations, and useful items

    Dude! Thanks! Recently got canned from an oppressive woodshop job. Scrambling to make stuff to sell the tourists on Mem day. Got stacks of scrap wood I picked out of the garbage... Got some ideas to share w/ y'all as well.

    Matt, I just want to thank you for your videos. On the 7th of April 2014, I was forced to make the decision to put my mother in an assisted home or shut down my fairly new business to take care of her after she was diagnosed with Dementia and Alzheimers. The obvious choice is mom comes first, and so I shut the doors to take care of mom. All the while thinking. No big deal I can go back to work anytime, being I have been in construction my entire life since the age of 14. Here it is 8 years later getting ready to turn 58 in May and reality hit and hit hard and got me thinking. I'm too damn old to start all over again from scratch. And one day as I was practicing my lines " High, welcome to Walmart" or "Would you like that Super Sized?" preparing for the very real possibility of what kind of job I will be able to get at my age while watching CZcams with an adult beverage ( Jack Daniels). One of your videos popped up and caught my attention so I watched it. And for the past few weeks, I've been checking out your videos. It never dawned on me that I have a bunch of materials leftover from jobs I've done and tools that are just sitting and collecting dust and rust and not being used. And now kicking myself in the butt for not thinking of doing this myself for the past 8 years. And chances are I probably could have had close to $500,000.00 in the bank by now working from home doing this. Thank you for saving me from the Walmart Greeters position and or bail money for when I pull some smart-ass teenager over the counter for a lesson on how to respect his elders. Again thank you, sir.

    Yes!!! Furniture is great to build but smalls are your bread and butter! People will drop $15 100 times before they drop $1500.
    My favorite scrap wood items are trays and totes. They are versatile and sell well. The blanket ladders are a hit also. Thanks for the great video!

    @justmike1529 Před 2 lety

    I’m retired and really enjoy building smalls. All of my material is free but free wood is not always easy wood. My two sources are a fencing supply company and pallets. I make coasters ,planter boxes , wall pictures displays, and coat racks for the most part. All of my material is from torn down cedars fences and a few pallets. Free wood can require a bit of work but the character in reclaimed wood is amazing and people love it.

    Hi Matt, I love these ideas for small woodworking projects. I've been interested in getting into woodworking as a hobby/side hustle for a while now, but building furniture out of pallets and other scrap wood just seems so intimidating, and I would imagine they would be hard to sell just starting out. I might start making some of these smaller items, especially the seasonal items.

    My father in law is giving me his frame shop so he can retire. We make custom picture frames from old barn wood. He has a customer base that is reliable and keeps him happy with only doing frames. We make alot of them but have some down time usually and times can get rough. He refuses to do any of this small stuff saying it's not worth our time or effort! I was starting to make things but hes really made it seem not worth it. Your video has confirmed my suspicions and am moving full steam back into smalls tomorrow as I'm not working this week due to no orders. So thank you! Maybe I will show him part 1 and 2 aswell.

  • @jasonbanks5664
    @jasonbanks5664 Před 2 lety

    Thank you, Matt. The best way I have found for me is to copy exactly what you, or someone else does. Then, I look at it and think, how can I change this to make it mine? What would I change? What would I add or take out? It seems to be easier for me to look at an actual Item (not a video or picture), to get my inspiration to make an idea mine. It takes me longer because I have to build, and then tear down, and then build again, and again. Many times, my design changes multiple times before I am done. However, what I end up with is completely mine, and I am very happy with it because I have spent the time to understand each piece intimately. It may not be the most efficient way, but it works for me. I thought this might help some others who are suffering creatively.

    I'm a deck and Porch builder in the process of building my first wood shop. I run into demo jobs a few times a year where I could keep some or all the wood I tear down. (pressure treated) With a shop, I could clean it up, joint it, plane it, re-saw it, or whatever to make stuff. I get paid to tear it down then it's sweat equity time to make it user-friendly. Plus I have all the scrap from the new construction we do. Already saving all the scrap vinyl sleeve drops for some Ideas I have.
