I have found over the yrs......... large items mean more money on sales and more money on the build...... it also means more time on the build and more time on the sale because not everyone at the marketplace can afford large pricey items....... that being said at the end of a normal day I might sell one 1200.00 farm table or bed that will need to be delivered or changed to meet a color....... but I always manage to sell 800 to 1000 in smalls every weekend with no effort or sales pitch............ and most smalls are made with scraps !!!!!........ no such thing as a bad day selling smalls !!

Exactly!!! People don't realize the real cost of building a large nice item. Cost of material, time value of money (Your time is worth x amount), the build, the finish... And every day that piece hasn't sold is a day the your money is tied up. Sadly a lot of people will end up selling it for less just to move it. Smalls move!

Evendough I have health issues(I have status of unemployable person), I love what I do and my dream life goal is to inspire like you, and to never give up on things a person loves to do. And I made bunch of smaller, estetic projects, and sold them. I feel encouraged because People like you give ideas for free and we can all make unique stuff, despite difficulties we all have to face.

Matthew, my wife and I resurrected my old table saw and are setting up our garage to be a wood shop. She is totally stoked to get a side hustle going, and we built our first planter box last weekend! Will send a pic later. We super appreciate the encouragement you bring to us and everyone else recovering from two years of Covid tragedies. Your mindset is desperately needed by so many. We have stocked up on piles of reclaimed lumber because she keeps an eagle eye on Craigslist free listings. We have torn down peoples old shelving, cut down trees rounds, even old ikea furniture that we are tearing down to build jigs. Anyone who can’t afford much to get started, just keep your eyes on free listings and eventually you wil score an occasional great find. Keep up the great work!!!

I just LOVE you. Your vibe is helpful, humble, and sincere. You have opened up a whole new world to me and are an answer to prayer. Besides family, there are three things I love spending my time doing and one of them is NOT my job as an RN although I am very grateful for being able to do it these past 15 years. I love building stuff, love planting everything, love spending time with my lab. I had an inkling that I might be able to make things that people would buy but your videos make that seem like a real possibility. You have created the machine for me basically. I have rolled my eyes a time or two when you get preachy but honestly, you’re not wrong. 😅 I’m really grateful to you and I’m going to figure out how to give this a go and maybe I can retire! I need very little money and I think this would fill in the gap. Love you Peech (motherly love)! I mean it.

I accidentally stumbled across your videos. I made an arbor for my wedding a few years ago and had so much interest when I sold it online I ended up building and selling about 30 more. Then Covid hit. 🤬 Just wanted to say your videos on selling "smalls" has inspired me to get back to creating some stuff to supplement my income. Keep 'em comin', brother!

This is SOOO motivating!!!! PLEASE KEEP THIS TYPE OF CONTENT COMING!!

Thank you so much Matthew! You are such an inspiration! I feel blessed that I found your channel! I don’t even know you in person and I see you as a mentor!

Thanks for all these ideas, and for being encouraging. I watched 3 videos last week, by guys, on building a small workstation for a portable table saw. One guy used not 1 but 2 FULL SHEETS of 7-9 ply cabinet plywood. That stuff is $220 a SHEET now. Pallet wood and pickets is more my style, repurpose and reuse where possible, thats what I like. I have a fence gate I have to rebuild, new wood will go into it, but I will reuse whatever is not rotten that comes out of it.

Dang brother! I absolutely love watching your videos! You have a true calling for inspiring and encouraging people! As a matter of fact, this weekend I tried making two of the farmhouse style planter boxes. Only problem is, I only have a circular saw to rip the pickets down (no table saw). So... after about 4 hours spent of me basically free-handing, ripping 1 inch strips of pickets down, I had almost decided that this whole wood working thing may not be for me. But then low and behold, I get up Monday morning and watch your newest video and I'm inspired again! Keep on rockin' brother!

The cheap portable tablesaws at harbor freight are worth it for beginning. Certainly better than a circular for ripping.

I watched this twice. It was twice as good the second time. I might watch it again. 🔥💥💥💥

I like this, currently making smaller items to learn wood working techniques that I can do with limited tools. About to start selling, and will be trying some these.

Great, original, content- yet again 👏 Thanks for taking the time to make this great video.

Started yesterday on my woodworking journey side hustle. Turning 1 pallet into 13ish pallet wood shamrock shapes, 10 coasters, 3 other things (pumpkins) Fingers crossed.

Love the trash bin hideaway , I used a slide out drawer from an office desk with uniformed cabinet door mounted to the front

I make a point to watch your new and rewatch your posts? Keep up the good work!

I've really been enjoying these smalls woodworking projects even though I have no intention of going into selling. The way you show a completed item and then discuss how to look at it to see it's component parts is a very useful way to think for any builder of any kind. One thing I would love is to see you do a video talking about the importance of building jigs and fixtures for batch work. Maybe you have already done this and I have just missed it. I have worked in industrial manufacturing for over 25 years and from what I have seen mistakes and injuries typically don't happen on the first or second go at a station. The injuries and mistakes usually happen once you start doing large numbers because people get complacent. A proper jig or fixture reduces effort, time and risk of injury.

Every time I watch your videos I get inspired, cheers.

Favorite one so far

I'm glad that I found your videos. I'll be starting to build stuff soon. Thanks again. Keep up the great job

From one Matt to another thank you for the inspiration to start building to make some side money. I picked up a miter saw on sale $99 and found a $10 working table saw on market place. Combine that with what tools I already have and after a few planters I will be making money. I’m moving slow right now because I’m new at this but each step is a step forward. Thank you again for the inspiration to take this leap.

Great video. Please keep up the hard work.

Thank you sir, you are the G.O.A.T.

You inspired me to start off on stalls and if I choose to go bigger as money becomes available. Though I’m already struggling just to start off with stains,paint and fancy cuts, I’ll get there.

Your videos inspired me to start acquiring woodworking skills and getting into the wood business. First order of business is getting my first money back, since I bought a table saw, joiner/planer, and some other stuff. First im gonna make some cross-decorations for on the wall with scrap wood, I will try to sell it for 15/20 a piece if I make it look good. Anyways, 15 of these and I can already get myself some upgrades on my hobby. I'm also very interested in the planter boxes, but I think I'm gonna work on that in the autumn and winter so I will have a huge collection ready during next year's spring. Anyways, thanks for the tips and inspiration.

I got a deal with a local fence company where they bring me the old fencing and damaged new cedar boards instead of taking it to the dump. I probably have about 5000 board feet stacked up in the barn.

Great video, thank you!

@6:06 with those ceiling lights, thanks to my previous company I was working for, I acquired a big piece of lumber. They were renovating the area where the harbour receives the ships. One of these big pieces of lumber are many years old and have the look there after. A awesome chuck of wood that I got for free, since my boss didn't have to worry about getting rid of it. The point here is, that companies you work for or any local companies, might have some unique pieces of wood laying around, just waiting to be thrown out.
