Woodworking Project to Sell for a BIG profit! #woodworking

I've spent time browsing Etsy for ideas and I've seen a lot of items that people have paid what "seems" like way too much for. Well, not everyone shops at Walmart. Not everyone is living paycheck to paycheck. And, if an item has a high value to someone then they'll pay a price reflecting that value.

Please continue with these videos! It's great to see what can be made with a board or two that someone may value and spark some original ideas! 👍😃

If I want a fancy bookmark I use an old playing card. When I make something to sell, it something useful, and this does NOT fit into that category.

I made it by myself thanks to woodprix plans. I think it's the best way to learn how to build that.

Its true. Buy sheap wood, make something end try to sell it for much more👍 i ganno do that thanks

Best video out there on this project, great job….

I’m selling to the wrong market. I spend an hour sanding a piece of cedar from 60-1000 grit. Then I hand burn my art onto the surface. I often spend in excess of 40 hours on a single piece. I live in a rural impoverished area, so cannot charge what I should be, but I lack in social skills and suck at promoting my art. 😔

I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I charged someone $56 dollars for that, there is no pride in workmanship anymore

Looks like the one in the example is quite creative in that it has an open book forming the apex

We are doomed.

I wouldn't give you $10 for that

How'd that proverb go? "Nobody tells you the secret to success unless they've already made their fortune."

Abstergo

I dont buy that, I guess you are out of money job then. what good are you doing if you get paid in return. well market is evil.

With the price of wood now, just sell the board as is and make 60 bucks.

Get a piece of wood and attach $56. Dollars to it would be much easier

Step 1: write 'Live Laugh Love' on it with paint marker
Step 2: sell to over the hill cat lady

So, I take this dollar fifty piece of wood into my hundred and twenty thousand dollar workshop and blah blah blah...

That’d take me at least a week

*you're

Remember folks, all you need to make $56 is a piece of wood and thousands of dollars worth of wood working tools 👍.

What the hell this seems so insane. I figure this market is now overflown. If not I might make some with some book themed carving design and 3x that already insane price haha

I’ve been playing too much Fallout 4. I thought this was a weapon crafting tutorial.

I just started woodturning and one of the projects is an Ice Cream Scoop. $25 for the kit, you make a handle, and boom, ice cream scoop. Total monetary investment about $30. Time investment, about an hour, maybe less when you get better at it... Sell for $60-$80. for an ice cream scoop... Who would do that? I bought a $10 scoop years ago, and Im still using it. I dont understand people that buy stuff like this.

My six-year-old daughter made me a cardboard bookmark at school that cost around nothing, works the same, and I have cherished it for decades. She’s now 39 so my bookmark is 33 years old and still works.

There is a sucker born every minute

Never knew there was such a thing as a book holder! Wouldn't work too well with paperbacks.

The product you're showing in Etsy is not the same project you're building here. So this is just dishonesty.

The captions saying that board cost you $147 was really making me wonder how you were going to make a profit out of it.

This feels like an IRL guide for something you'd see for farming gold in Skyrim or something

Not worth money when you show everyone how to do it for free...

The subtitles tell us that you made a bit of wood purchased for $147 worth $56 in 10 minutes. Remarkable! Save the glue and pins, chop it into kindling in the same time and make worth $1, 😂

For 56 bucks??!! Some folks just dont know the value of a dollar!! Take the wife to dinner for Chrissake!!

only a fool would pay $5 for this. $56 I think not.

Id sell that for 10 maybe 15 or 20 stained

On passing this video it said you bought the board for $147 and sold it for $56, if that's the case you should go to business school. Damn subtitles.

Man that board costs 56 dollars

Triangle book holder? Okay... sure.

💪🙂👍

What is it? Trash to fill the bin😂

This is basically the entire home goods departments at Target. A fool and his money are easily parted.

Good on ya buddy! Loved the project!

Do not let the bad comments bother you,the board is smarter then the haters.

No thank you, I’ll keep using the bookmark my granddaughter’s made in kindergarten, and yes, it is priceless.

"Just because you don't think you'd buy it, doesn't mean there isn't anybody who would." Good business wisdom in general

Wait! Seriously?! Okay, literally every bookworm knows you do NOT lay a book down like that. That is a fantastic way to wear out/damage the spine of a book. Can't believe people are actually buying something like that.

I know how to make it worth more. Just draw a smiley face on it. If you know, you know.

There's literally one on that Etsy screenshot you showed for $14 and only has 6 reviews that's probably a similar quality. They're selling around 6 a month and already have reviews so you've got to try break into a market loads are already doing not to mention needing a $600 saw and a nail gun. Probably easier just to use them skills in a job.

Good luck selling it for that $56....How many of you guys sold so far????

Great idea, thanks.. new sub 😊
