Sell it to the Government?

I love all the naysayers on here. If you have such great knowledge of what will or won't sell, why waste your time on KZread?? You have to start somewhere, and no idea is absolutely perfect. Now am I going to make some of these? No, but the point is to be inspired and find the motivation to take the next step.

I've learned in my 2 decades of wood working ..... Nothing takes a project from flea market crafty quality to "old money" quality like a good coat of oil based polyurethane. Gloss if you can find it still ... Semi gloss almost as good. Makes something 1 day old look 100 years old that was refurbed 1 day ago. Just a whole other level of finish.

Good tip

Using wood dye rather than a stain will give you an attractive depth of grain look. Plus, with wood dyes the color choices are far more diverse.

Just subscribed to your great channel, I am retired and you have inspired me to give your project’s a go as I have lots of time on my hands, I also have quite a few woodworking tools laying around so thank you.

Great project Ronnie! I just made some this weekend. I did a slight twist to it. I know it’s a little more expensive, but I cut 1x4’s of select pine and glue 2 together for each unit. The sanding was a little less, but I’m still going to make some of the ones from a 2x4. Thanks again and I appreciate all the inspiration of your ideas.

Very cool! Getting inspiration and creative is what it's all about. Good job

I really liked the tray you displayed them in.

Nice idea! I would suggest using a pre-stain, especially on soft woods. It will allow the wood stain to give a nice uniform color without blotches. I don't see any blotching on your project, but it does happen and Minwax pre-stain does work.

Loved your video. Looking forward to watching more. I need a drill press now...😊

Nice work! I have a ton of leftover scrap 2x4s that would be perfect to use for these candle holders.

Perhaps things have changed since I started Woodworking over 50 years ago but a basic rule was that one NEVER traps a cut-off between the saw and a stop. In other words as far as possible cut to the left where one can hold the cut piece down and then whisk it away thus avoiding coming off second best to a flying wooden projectile. At the very start of the Video I noticed a healthy block start to elevate on its way to taking flight before being subdued.

Wonderful idea Ronnie. I've got scraps lying around, guess i'll get cracking. Thanks!

It's a top piece for 4x4 fence posts.

Nice job on these last 3 videos!

😄 Awesome Loved it!

I can possibly see these selling in a high dollar urban area where people have no tools or skills, and are willing to hand over the money for almost anything. Once you get away from the cities, I think they'd be a lot harder to sell.

Nice project for scraps. To really maximize on your profitability jigs and batch work helps. I can see an upgraded workbench with dog holes and router table in your future to make builds more efficient. Congrats on the viral video!

Link to where you sell your wood work?

imagine if instead of cuttung a hole in it, you cut a notch in it to hold a phone. would easily sell for a $10 phone holder.

Did you sell any?

It’s already near that price in Canada, never saw prices like this in this country

When you sand do you go through the different grits like 120,150,180& 220?

@RonniesWorkshop

4 ай бұрын

I just did 220 on this

Great work but how do you sell them?

I love sanding

Great idea, small items can be powerful money makers. I would suggest sanding the end grain sides one grit level higher than the rest so they don't absorb as much stain.

Is there a stain or something you can cover these with that would make them a little more fire resistant? The whole wood and fire thing kinda freaks me out.

Alrighty l am 14 years old and I love sanding, sanding can be very difficult to do, and sometimes allitle dangerous if your not careful. But I will say and ik it sounds silly but if you use a battery powered sander, they are allot easier to maneuver and they are significantly lighter and typically use less power saving money in the long run, DeWalt is a good brand, I prefer it over any other brand and the tool brand is very reliable, I buy all of my DeWalt tools myself and yes it is allitle pricy for cheap workers, it WILL pay off, don't settle for the cheap DeWalt tools as they are cheap scams used by people who like making money for the sake of it and will spend more money for less of a quality.

I was going to say I assume it's going to be for tea lights but the comments already confirmed it as soon as I came to type it

@RonniesWorkshop

4 ай бұрын

First off, you can't "experiment" with an Etsy shop. It takes time, patience, strategy, and more time. It took me a while before my plans started selling. Second, I never claimed to be selling these on Etsy. I do have access to sales statistics and know for a fact that items like these do sell. I made these because I didn't want to have a video where I say "hey, build these", I'd rather show how they can be built so new woodworkers can get an idea. I wish you the best with your shop and encourage you to not give up on it. Wait till my next video comes out. You won't believe that what I build actually sells on Etsy. I could hardly believe it myself.

@bradm7585

Yeah, in my experience these things just don't sell. I have a fairly well established woodworking Etsy shop (I sell splined picture frames, and make a full time living on just Etsy), and I wanted to get rid of some scrap wood so I built some of these that are similar style but a bit more modern in design, except in nice hardwood like Walnut, Cherry and Oak. I literally couldn't give them away, and I was selling them for $4.99 with free shipping and I sold 1 last year. And my shop gets plenty of traffic. Nobody wants them, at least in my experience. Same with coasters, wine bottle holders, and all of that cheap gimmicky stuff.
