I show how I make money with a button maker at craft shows. I will have a button making station at my booth where kids and adults can draw and design their own buttons for $1. This is a super easy way to make a profit at craft shows and community events. Kids and adults get a huge kick out of designing buttons. You can also use the button maker to make and sell your own designs as well as take orders from bands and organizations. Subscribe for weekly woodworking projects: ru-vid.com...

These machines are great. I have the one inch one - got it about 15 years ago to make money for beer at punk shows and ever since its supplemented my income while I'm waiting for freelance jobs to roll around. The circle cutter looks like a total life changer!

@DiodePress 9 лет назад

Awesome David! I've been keeping an eye out for a used machine to pick up for a while, such a good idea or craft fairs!

Wow!! This would make so many kids happy! Great memory to hold onto for the mom and dad after too! LOVE IT!

@SeanBarry0215 9 лет назад

Love your vids man! Don't quite have the money for all of the equipment but I have a lot of great ideas from you!

@AdventuresInDIY 9 лет назад

Great idea David!

@JMTosses 9 лет назад

I remember when we got a button maker for our hacker lab (which is now called a maker space) and it was a huge hit. I still have a lot of buttons from back then. Great tip and I can imagine those to work well on fares. Perfect opportunity for izzy swan to provide us with videos for making circle punch jig as well as a button maker ... utilising a power-drill ;) Thank you for sharing Dave!

@BruceAUlrich 9 лет назад

That's a cool little thing...no wonder it is so popular!

@marceaton3128 9 лет назад

Very cool Dave. I have learned a great deal from you. I am a retired cop on a disability retirement and currently unemployed. I wish I could support all of the Makers I watch but I just can't......now. I splurged with the help of my wife and bought a ShopBot CNC and I plan on paying it forward with this machine. I have learned so much from you, Steve Ramsey, and Jimmy and once I get going I will support you. Thanks for what you do and keep them coming. Who knew a button machine could help you make money. Thanks again.

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

Marc Eaton Hi Marc! Thank you so much! Don't worry about support us. Just keep watching! That's the biggest form of support. Have fun with the new ShopBot! Sounds like you have a supporting and loving wife!

@kyserwallace 9 лет назад

Marc Eaton I hope you and your wife find great success. I also wish I could toss some support to the online makers, maybe soon. best of luck.

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

***** Yes!

@DavidColley_SouthernGrain 9 лет назад

I once considered making money by making money. Turns out that is illegal. Buttons are a much better idea.

@lilacsmith 7 лет назад

How much does it cost to enter a craft show

@ouivalerie 7 лет назад

I think you need to pay like up to $300 dollars at events, which makes it impossible....some shows are cheaper.....Sharing table space is probably the only option so need other button makers at the same table to keep the theme the same.

@ScrapwoodCity 9 лет назад

That was nice!

@tecreco7836 5 лет назад

How did we never see this yet? GREAT video!

@ModdyPuppets 4 месяца назад

Great idea! I’m doing a pop up later this year and would love to add this to my table. May I ask where you got the black template with the shading so they draw in the right spot?

@Wackywoodworks 9 лет назад

that is a really good money making idea for for events and craft shows etc... :-) have me thinking now... lol

@SuperMakeSomething 9 лет назад

Nice spontaneous upload! Fun idea!

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

***** Thanks!

@aaronsparrow129 9 лет назад

Will that circle punch cut commercial veneer? If so you could use a wood burner and make some interesting buttons that way too.

@Piexelman 9 лет назад

@Piexelman 9 лет назад

Drunken Woodworker I have a question about power tools. I am a beginner at making things. So, which power tool is the best for a beginner? Or can u recommend other tools that "displaces" power tools? Or some other tips for beginner? i am sorry if the questions are too much or to big to answer here.

@mhaz49 9 лет назад

Take a look at eBay for a wide array of button making machines and kits well under $300.

@rarecoolitems 7 лет назад

Where do you buy the button supply's in bulk. Is there a certain website

@timsway 9 лет назад

Ha! I'm actually making buttons right now! But a little different. Too funny. Nice idea for the fairs.

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

tim sway Nice!

@timsway 9 лет назад

I just put a pic on Instagram (@timsway1) for you :)

@Antihobutt 9 лет назад

Cool video David. I have one question for the Drunken Woodworker. How many pieces of flair do you have?

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

Haha!!

@Elcatrinarte_ 9 лет назад

Did you make a wooden case storage for your button maker? I would like to see a video like that. A case that holds the puncher, tecre and some button parts.

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

German Reyes I did not! I store it in an old case I found at a thrift store.

@feidex 9 лет назад

@squareoctopus 9 лет назад

Oh, it'd be nice to build a circle punch out of wood and a couple metal parts for the actual cutting.

@tompritch56 9 лет назад

Clever idea..I like it.Um,Um,Um,Um,Um...

@ikanoyton 5 лет назад

@WigWagWorkshop 9 лет назад

Great Idea! Thank You for sharing your experience. Would you recommend throwing in a free button with your logo with a purchase?

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

WigWagWorkshop Thanks!

@MRrwmac 9 лет назад

Cool money maker David! Do you have a problem with markers walking away cause kids forget they have them? You're the craft fair king and know better about pricing, but I would pay $2 (and I'm cheap - haha).

Stephan Pöhnlein Take a couple weeks off from the wrap-up to work on some bigger projects.

@sunofslavia 9 лет назад

What happened to the original host of this show, Dave? You know, the bearded dude with glasses. And beer. ;)

@thadyoung2553 6 лет назад

Where do you get the paper

@CatholicWoodworker 9 лет назад

Do you still sell at many craft shows? How do decide which shows are worth the time (assuming your product is good)? Cool video, it's a great way to think beyond just the product you are selling. You still have to get people at your booth long enough to see what you are selling.

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

Conrad Designs I only do juried craft shows meaning you pay an application fee and have to get picked by a jury to get in. These types of shows are way more successful than ones at your local school or church because the higher quality vendors brings the paying crowd in.

@tommiestrydom973 9 лет назад

Instead of the hole punch could you use a sharpened copper pipe?

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

Tommie Strydom maybe!

@oliverwjones 9 лет назад

You stole my idea! ;-) I've been doing this at craft shows and fairs for a few years now. I make the 2 3/8" buttons and have an assortment of pens, markers and crayons that I set out for kids. I also have adhesive googly-eyes and stickers to decorate the buttons with. If electricity will be available, or if we'll be outdoors where I can setup my solar power array, I bring my laptop and a color inkjet printer so I can do more professional style buttons on demand. I have pre-printed artwork for dozens of different custom designs and have one or two of each design made up and out for sale as well.

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

Michael Schafer oh wow! Nice! I have looked into portable printers to do that but never got past the looking stage.

@mingohernandez6475 8 лет назад

that button maker is now 229 online good deal

@mykiea5156 5 лет назад

How big are the buttons your making

@MakeSomething 5 лет назад

1.25"

@tooljunkie555 9 лет назад

"money makin',,money makin'" lil beasties for ya! ;) that thing will pay for itself in NO TIME AT ALL very quick and clever.. are we gonna see "DRUNKEN" buttons in your store?

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

Joe Walters Guess what song is in my head now? ;) Yeah, putting buttons in my store has been in the plans for a long time. I need to get on that!

@GoRepairs 9 лет назад

Making badges (buttons) for yourself is cool, making them on a commercial level is a pain. That's talking from experience. :)

@pollyg562 7 лет назад

the one problem is i live in Australia and its obvious the price has to be $1 but a $1 in Australia is 75c USA,thats most of the profit,maybe 3 for $2 but chareging $1.25 is going to cause you to lose customers,dam our bad dollar,two years ago the situation was reverse,also means the press will be more like $400,though even a slack a@se like me would make that back in under a year,im sure if you had a huge w/end fair you could get close to doing it in a week
