How is it possibly to pack so much value into one short little video!? Incredible work as always!

Montessori was a person that developed a method of teaching young children by giving them the freedom to shape the way they learn over the formal teaching methods used today. They are encouraged to use their imaginations and creative thinking to learn instead of pen and paper tasks. So a Montessori toy would be something that encourages kids to experiment. Its pretty interesting.

Thank you for a frank and simple outline. Much appreciated.

I started making drink coasters 6 years ago. I work about 3 days a month and make $10k in that time and take the rest of the month off. I could easily double my profit, but I'm not really a materialistic person so I'm happy just being able to pay my bills and live a free life. Once you start making money, you realize what an illusion money really is. I honestly believe anybody can be a millionaire if they just change their mindset.

I do want to make money with my woodworking, but I don't want to become a business. I'm a 100% Disabled Veteran and working is not an option. I do woodworking as a therapeutic hobby, but I want to make a few bucks to support my other hobby, photography. I use photography to help me get into events that my PTSD wouldn't generally allow me to go to. For instance, growing up I enjoyed racing (all forms of it. If it's fast and loud, I like it). But since the military, I'm very apprehensive to attend these events. However, if I can "hide" behind my camera, it distracts my mind enough to enjoy the event. So, back to what I was saying, I would like my woodworking to make some money to support my photography. This video and your other one about projects that don't make money are great videos and very informative. Thank you and God bless.

Excellent presentation. I learned a lot. Thanks for posting.

I think identifying a niche market is the most important point. By the way, I've never seen a stovetop cover in any home, because the objection is always 'Where do I put it when I want to use the stove?' They just do not sell in my area.

Great video thanks for sharing your insight! You touched on the importance of liability insurance for the kids item but also important to have for the stove top covers. Even though it would be a user issue if someone put it on/over hot burners or turned on while the cover was one, the lawyers these days will take a shot at the maker of the cover. My wife is in the legal field and this is one of the reasons I have stayed away from doing these...I want to, she is skeptical. Thanks again!

This is The Best "top selling products" video I've seen so far 👍 The guy sold it

Cool Video. That concept of building and finding a market has a phrase, it's "Build it and they will come" That philosophy is generally considered a gamble of sorts.

We have very popular children's chairs with height adjustment. Children's growing chair. This also applies to Montessori. But there are a lot of manufacturers. Very big competition. I made some chairs and sold them in one week when I was in another country with little wood.

I just bought a used onefinity. And when I booted it up for the first time there was a really cool plaque designed for a specific officer programmed onto it. Guess that guy knew his stuff ha ha.

That’s what I do with Marquee letters, but I’m definitely not getting 50-100 a letter. Nobody around here will pay that. I tried 45 a letter and was getting tons of clicks but not rentals. Then I started pricing based on the words . 4 letter words one price and anything over 4 letters another price. That has been going a lot better.

Microbreweries, restaurants… Sandblast their name & logo into the clipboard. Also it can be laser etched. I did a memorial marker for a cat. It was a cheap, 12x12 granite tile from a home improvement center. It was well received, and people don’t mind spending for their pets. I like sand blasting better. It provides a deeper etch into the granite.

I'd never get a stove top cover. One thing people never think about is where you're going to park that monstrosity when you're using the stove. Also, over time it will start to look pretty tough - jammed in the space between the stove and the cabinet (maybe, if it fits), around a lot of cooking that involves grease and other spatters, around hot surfaces.

Stove top covers are not for the average person there buddy. Those are decorations for women who married into money. They have zero concern about where it will be placed while cooking because they are not going to be doing any damn cooking. Same thing with the women that have those crazy nice very white cabinets in their kitchens. You know how they keep them clean? They dont use their kitchen. Their kitchen is a vanity project to make their less well off friends jealous. Ever notice how when these women get these things put in their homes the very first thing they do is plan some event to take place at their home? Its just an excuse to invite their females friends over and show off their vanity projects. Practicality means nothing to them because they do not intend to ever use it. These women would rather die than cook a meal for a family.

0:16 ouch. I did really well with my projects that sold including my stove covers which you featured in your video as well. Easily making over $30k per year as a side hustle with them. Guess it depends on the market. I like your ideas as well.

Never understood the concept of putting a wood stove cover over a gas or electric range. Do they use it because they are tight on space and need extra working area, if so, then they have to remove it to use the range and have to store it or lean it against the wall, plus , grandma may have problems lifting it.
