How to Sell Woodworking Projects and Woodworking Business Tips
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I want to share how I have had success selling woodworking projects online and in person. I’ll talk about how to get sells on your woodworking projects and give you some tips that have helped my wife and I build a successful woodworking business. My main goal with this video is to help you make money woodworking. If you want to start a woodworking business, try applying this information to your business and see if they will help you. I have been able to successfully sell my woodworking on Etsy, my own website and I sell my woodworking projects locally. I think it is important to have multiple revenue streams in your woodworking business plan. Woodworking full time or even part time can be both a rewarding and a profitable business. I have been able to grow my woodworking business from home, starting with just three borrowed tools. I hope you can use these woodworking business tips to grow your own business. I can’t guarantee any of these tips will make money for your woodworking projects, but I want to try and help you if I can. If you haven’t already seen my best selling woodworking projects video, you can check it out by following the link below.

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!
Thanks Matt for these inspirational videos. As a part-time hobbyist, I’ve made multiple projects for friends and family, but never for sale. This advice will definitely propel me to the next level in my wood working small business. Thank you!🙏🙏🙏
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 KZread videos. Please keep up the good work.

You give some of the best relatable tips and advise I have ever come across on KZread. I just wanted to say thanks, and please keep up the good work.

Matt, i just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your videos and insights. I have been searching for a way off the road (trucker) for years now, and your videos have been very helpful. I have always loved woodworking but very little training. God has blessed me with a broken elbow to get me off the road for a while to set up my basement so i can start working the plan. Looking forward to future videos and just wanted to reach out. I can tell from your frequent attire you will understand the meaning of this statement…I appreciate you and pray God will bless you and your family with much happiness and success.

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
By far my favorite KZread 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!
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 😃)

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.
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
Yes PLEASE make that etsy video!! Love your channel and thanks for being so open with your info and showing your simplistic approach to your builds.

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.

I’ve watched several of your videos and came away educated. I got bored at some of the campgrounds while traveling around in our motorhome, so I made room in our storage bay for a miter saw and a contractor table saw and a few hand tools and I started making flags🇺🇸 I donated a few to the campgrounds and I sold most of the flags to the people camping at the campgrounds. Just making flags I made enough money to pay for the miter saw and the contractor table saw. We built a new house and I am setting up my garage as a small wood shop. I have already made four flags one hallway entry table and a blanket ladder and a dog ramp for our dog to get up onto the couch and I built a Queen size platform bed with an extra large headboard with Black pipe Edison lighting came out great...just stuff for the house right now but stuff I can sell later on. That’s my Plan. Thanks for the inspiring videos.🙏😊

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.
