Ayeeee thanks for the shoutout! The amount of money available for cutting boards is truly mind-blowing. A few of our best strategies: - Find a niche, optimize your boards for that type of customer, and sell sell sell! - Talk to everyone you know about what you sell! You never know when someone’s cousin’s aunt’s brother is the State’s #2 producing Realtor looking for nicer closing gifts…

I´ve watched some of your videos in past and always amazed how markets can be so diferent. I live in EU, Portugal to be more precise and the cutting board market here is so "poor". Nobody would pay like 50€ for a cutting board, so its not worth to make them. the only market we have here on this categorie is restaurants cheap pine boards, and thats it ahah Keep the good work!

@ChrisFranklyn 2 года назад

@@yohannsantos4901 That could be the difference between end users and business customers. The business customers aren't buying a bread/cutting board, they're buying a marketing tool and some good will. They probably wouldn't spend that much on themselves either :)

@azbowhunter1219 2 года назад

Jennie and Davis I love your videos and watch them all the time. Question, are you in the Reserves or Guard? I retired after 22 yrs in the Air Force and just wanted to say thank you for your service as well!

@steelhiker 2 года назад

I'm just stepping out of my comfort zone (ie safe job / empty wallet zone) and starting my own cutting board business. Took huge amounts of encouragement to get past my fear of doing something different than what I've done my whole life, but I think it is time to do that for which I am destined. Keeping the old job for now while I ramp up.

@stumptownwoodworks 2 года назад

Anyone that can actually make cutting boards and make real money I applaud. Finding something that makes your boards unique or different from the heard is key and the right market. That said, many people 'think' they are making money just because they sold it for more than the cost of materials and a bottle of glue. And as a hobby that's great for some extra money for your own projects. But as an actual business you need to take into account overhead, consumables, wear items on tools, an hourly wage for yourself, and a margin for the business...then you'll 'actually' be making money.

@daveb427 2 года назад

People would be surprised how much glue is required for an end-grain butcher block. Same thing for the amount of oil unseasoned end-grain soaks. Lot's of cutting means lots of waste too.

@EllisDesignandTradeCo 2 года назад

Cutting boards are extremely saturated. The best way to maximize profits are to sell on your website with a brand name. So many people are driving the prices down hard because they either 1 get free materials (mills) or 2 sell large batches of basic boards, so the customer assumes they know the price and set their own in their mind about what you should sell your boards for. So many customers have a complete disrespect for woodworkers and their pricing because of this, it’s insane. Like you said, only way to stand out is come up with new designs. Same with flags, basic ones have been driven into the ground that used to sell for a lot, now you have to sink way more time into it than it’s actually worth. Two very saturated markets

@Sebastopolmark 2 года назад

GREAT video David, the take away is that things don't always go as planned and the key is to keep the project on track and look what turned out. Personally, I like the larger dowels, so a win for me! !! !!!

Hello David, fellow Ohioan beginner woodworker here (Medina oh). I just discovered your channel after starting listening to the Making It podcast (from the first one of course), I am now on #039, so roughly 300+ to go. I love your style, projects, explanations. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

Hi David, I received your Cutting Board Book for Christmas and refer to it regularly for ideas and tips ... thank you for creating it. I wasn't nuts about the breadboard style at first, but now, being able to see it happen, I'm in love. So thanks for helping this rookie out. I intend to create cutting boards to bolster my retirement in a couple of years, and totally value your insight. Awesome, just awesome!

@MakeSomething 2 года назад

Oh wow, thank you Sue!

@sgsax 2 года назад

I would have thought to glue the dowels at least into the ends, if not the body, so they would stay put, but still allow the body boards to move. So I learned something here! I think it's awesome that you encourage people to take your designs and run with them. We gotta help eachother out. Thanks for sharing!

@christianscustoms6429 2 года назад

One thing you can do too is tap them in 90% of the way and put a dab a glue around the top before sending it home. That way you have it glued and know it won’t get into the middle tenon. Probably not necessary but it does work

@larrycurran7005 2 года назад

@daveb427 2 года назад

Pinched finger tips under a heavy board can be pretty painful. I dropped a board a few inches onto the end of my finger tips once (before board was finished)... brought tears to my eyes. I usually route a finger pocket on the bottom at both ends but finishing them is extra time. The chamfered edge is an interesting alternative.

@daveb427 2 года назад

I've made lots of cutting boards and butcher blocks over the past couple years. I just give them away to friends/family. Lots of people tell me I could sell them to make some money. I don't think people realize how much the materials cost, and the time that goes into them, especially for the end-grain. Heck, they probably have no idea how much oil an unseasoned end grain butcher block soaks up. I doubt people would pay what I would have to charge to make it worthwhile as business. I know there are economies of scale making several at once, and the idea is somewhat intriguing, but so far I've discarded it as an idea to make some money.

@RB-vr7mq 2 года назад

When I started up several years back, you were one of my prime sources for ideas. One of my best-selling products has been the wine caddy. I actually do more sales on smaller pieces like that at shows, and while the cutting boards are the big draw, I am definitely trying to bring the people in for some of the bigger ticket items. I just picked up a cnc so that I can also do custom engravings, plus batching out cribbage, tic tac toe, and other small products. Do I need your books now? No, but I am giving back to you for giving so much to all of us. Bob, All American Woodworking. (I do not do "content", as I have a face for radio and a voice for the silent movies)
