Hello!! My name is Brad. I live in ar and im disable and am getting in to woodworking, or more specifically bowl making as a way to keep my self busy and to supplement my income! I got a lot of good info from one of ur videos but i have one question. Im ot good at determining the worth of my products!! Do u have any advice in pricing ur products?
By far my favorite RU-vid channel. The only downside is I probably watch more than I should while at work! Best part, if I get fired for said downside, I can do start my new dream full time job, woodworking!
Hi Matt! Old retired guy here. I’ve renovated many properties over the years and have some building skills. I think you’ve inspired me to make and sell woodworking projects. I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to produce these videos. I appreciate your easy going attitude and willingness to share ideas! Big fan here!
I would very much love to see a video on marketing on Etsy. I just got a 44 ft circular sawmill and am setting up a wood shop to build my own products for sale. Your video was the first I found when looking at marketing wood products. Subbed. I will be watching your videos. Thanks.
Steve Ramsey said just what you did on trends or idea's... He goes to antiques shops, flee markets, yard sales ect... Your down to earth with no BS just like Steve.... Keep up the Good Work!!!!
I really appreciate the video. You have given more information in 16:46 minutes than I’ve been able to gather in weeks, maybe months of watching RU-vid videos. Please keep up the good work.
Mr matt, I have been watching you for awhile now and I like your sense of humor and you have a lot of good tips and tricks for wood working, I am like you when you started, I only have a miter saw and a circular saw, heck I don't even have a place to do wood working but, I hope and pray some day I will and like you I believe God will help me do this, thank you for all your inspiration, you are a blessing from heaven
I’m trying to start my own wood working business, and watching this video is so motivating!! I loved it and will keep watching. I’m excited to see what’s next!
Matt, your videos are the best! For the last year I've been watching every one of your videos, some several times, you've helped me do a life long desire and that is woodworking. You give such great advice and awesome projects, many of which I have made. Keep doing great videos, I've learned a lot from your videos and for that I want to say THANK YOU!!!.
I am a recent subscriber and I love your videos. You are down to earth, honest, and I appreciate the time and effort you are putting in to share what you've learned. I'd love to see a video on how you set up your Etsy store.
Hi Matt from Coachella CA. I'm glade I saw your video. The advice you give is outstanding. I have to be honest. I don't sell over the internet as I took a different route. I started wood work just over three years ago making small items for my home. Like you said in your video, I was sending before and after photos to family and friends. Request from family and their coworkers started to come in. I freaked out! That's how I got my start. About two years ago I made the decision to sell. Like most of your subscribers I work a full time job and have very little money. Like the great advice in your video, make a plan. So I contacted two local irrigation companies that discard so much wood. I get more than thirty 4x4x8 per week. At $11 each. Do the math. Add free 2x4 and ply wood. I also contacted realtors and companies that flip houses in my area. Accent walls, barn doors request never stop. They also request barn style dining tables and coffee tables for staging or as a gift for the new home owners. Like the great advice in your video. Be divers. I bought a small welding machine and started to sell metal barn doors. I started making wood tables with metal legs, frames or metal added to the project. Thank you for the great advice.
Getting a lil nervous ready to start selling a couple items. Servers people keep asking me about console table or coffee bar. I’ll be trying that this week.pray for me. Thanks 🙏🏽
Love what your doing, this video solidified how i have been doing business with wood working. I was questioning if i was doing things in a good manner and this video helped so much, also all your videos on builds is awesome, thank you from a veteran, your videos have helped me a lot and sparked a lot of ideas!
So glad you put this together, I love hearing all the helpful info and how these things have worked in growing your business. I give this video a 👊👊👊👊👊 out 5 virtual fist bumps! You da Man Matt, thanks again for all you do.....stay safe (I really like and want the shirt in your opening scene 😃)
I really do appreciate you taking the time to post this video. Recently started finding more things to make than just end tables and I’m loving it! So now, naturally, I need to market the items to generate sales. Thank you. Also, I really do appreciate your video on woodwork finishing.
Awesome video, thank you!!! Yes I would love to see how Etsy works for you, like to see some good tips on that topic. Another topic is when as a new woodworker is it time to open an actual LLC ?
I'd also be interested in hearing your thoughts on using social media to promote your business. Do you have a business Facebook page? Do you make random posts showing "baby steps" of your progress? Does your RU-vid channel help you sell things by getting your name out there?
I have a lot of wood working tools would love to do that part time and eventually do it full time I will be able to retire from my job in 4 years. I love making things out of wood and would love to be able to make a decent living doing it. God bless you and your family
Thank you for being honest and transparent. I have always flirted with the idea of selling on etsy. I have never seen anyone show their breakdown of etsy. You are helping a lot of people earn money for their family. I sell a ton of wood working in North West Arkansas. Glad to see a brother in Arkansas helping people out! That's what we do!
Love, love, love your shirt! And your videos. Thanks for the help, most woodworkers don't want to share their pricing. All of us out there appreciate it.
another great info loaded video. Thanks Matt. By the way, all my dad's people are up in the Evening Shade, Cave City area. Had an aunt and uncle with a chicken farm outside Hot Springs. Used to go on vacation there every summer when I was a kid. Love Arkanasas. Last time I was there was on my way to Viet Nam. Miss it. May God always be with you sir, you do a fine job and service.
Thank you for the tips . I was laid off in March and have been trying to build my woodworking/cnc business and have been struggling with marketing and selling my items.
Hi, Matt! I'm a hazardous materials tank truck driver in Toledo, Ohio, who has had enough of the craziness on the roadways & looking to get out of trucking and into woodworking. You have given me great inspiration where family and friends have really been negative and doubtful I can do it. I am 60, but still have desire to be my own boss, but they do shake the heck out of my confidence in myself. I am Building a small shop in our garage at our rented house, so I am very limited from the start. Just want to tell you "thank you" for the morale booster. I really need it. I have already gotten about 75% done with the storage chest from plans from you, ( for my 91 year old mother who still quilts, drives, and just keeps on staying busy!) and have a couple more plans, stove covers, safer crosscut sled, etc. Please keep the build videos coming & keep up the great work! And congratulations to Mrs. 731 on her upcoming retirement from teaching! Thanks again.
A lot of good things in this video. Its gave me ideas. I say watch this video at least a couple of times and take notes. I know i did. You showing a progress of something your building to a customer was something I did a week ago and the customer loved it.
Thrilled to have found your channel, just as my husband and I are starting a woodworking business. You've given us a lot of hope with all these tips. Thanks very much
@731 Woodworks, thank you for all your videos and honesty. It's hard to find videos were people are so honest. BTW, I'm a beginner woodworker from the Bootheel of Missouri.
I have built quite a few items around the house for my wife. It's currently a hobby that that I quite enjoy, and have gotten fairly good at. I've had multiple people tell me that I should start selling this stuff. Watching this video (as well as a few others of yours) has definitely helped give me more confidence in making the leap. I really appreciate all the tips. If I do decide to start selling things, I will be employing several of your tips in my business strategy.
Thank you for great information that I can pass on to my husband! This is the first video that ive came across that addresses our issues! My husband works full time night shift he sleeps a few hours and gets up and builds then goes back to work night shift, same circle everyday. His dream is to be able to sell enough projects to be able to buy more tools and make woodworking a business fulltime. I will share this video with him. Thank you
