11 now😁 Re: profit....on the contrary, I do make a profit, I just reinvest the money (profit) into more tools and supplies for new projects. If you don't believe me, go check out Episode 1, where I batch out the easiest Project on earth. My initial investment in tools is just under $200. Now I have some clamps, two drills, trim router, cordless nail gun, etc. If you watch, each episode, you see that I made money (not great money, but money nonetheless) on every build.

Bro, I honesty didn't like the people in your vids that harassed you about your tools. That was ridiculous. But....Your purse? Hold onto to your day job, because woodworking won't sustain you. So, woodworking is just a hobby? That's what I get from you. Maybe you're charging too low? Legit questions. Not trying to be a jerk. But, seriously. According to your vid roll, why do it? You'll never be able to make a living from it. It's just a hobby.
No worries. I just didn't understand where you were coming from. I also use these tools for projects around the house. Definitely not quitting my day job, never had plans to and never mentioned it in any of my vids. Just a hobby that can also allow me to pay for itself with projects like these. Like I always try to say, "woodworking doesn't have to be another expensive hobby"....emphasis on hobby. I'm right there with you. I do enjoy the continued dialogue in the comments when people give me different ways to accomplish the same task. I suppose I'm creating these videos for selfish reason then. If someone else can benefit, then that's an added bonus. Definitely not for everyone. I wish you the best!
We had a power outage during a storm and our sump pump couldn't run without power. Right after, I installed a water-powered backup that doesn't require electricity or batteries. Fortunately, haven't had to have it run, but have tested it and it works great and is nice piece of mind.
@@makemoneywoodworking I got the Basepump 725 kit for about $200 at HD. I added a double check-value, and also did the plumbing myself. It needs to either connect to the same output as the regular sump pump or use a separate output PVC line. I used the same one that already was there. It also needs a 3/4" water line (for power), so I had to T off the copper water line. I added a ball valve and converted to PEX for that run. I think my material costs were less than $300, and I was already comfortable with the plumbing. It is worth it for the peace of mind.
I've been playing around with it to reduce the horizontal bands. It's less apparent, but still there at times. Definitely a goal to work towards. Thanks!
Your comment about higher quality regarding the hardware on the corn hole boards is right. Anyone can make a set out of some 2x4's and ¾ plywood. You get paid by doing more.
Thanks for the encouragement. Yeah, by no means does one have to make my specific sets but one is highly advised to do something that sets theirs apart from the rest.... whatever it is.
When I tried to do.it.by hand, I could see the direction of my sanding, but then again, I was using a random orbit sanding disc to hand distress, so that might be my problem. Thanks for the comment!
@@makemoneywoodworking I mean actually hold the sand paper in your hand. It's a little slower but the results are worth it. You wont get that random orbital sander look
Yes. I just haven't purchased any sanding blocks as part of the channel so I've had to use an 80 grit sanding disc and use it in my hand but it's always looked as if you can see the direction of the sanding. I'll have to try again.👍
@@makemoneywoodworking ahhh gotcha. A higher grit, like 120 would hide the scratches better. I love how you're going about things,the whole budget breakdown idea is really cool👍
Ignore anyone who ribs you about your profit per hour. I’m a total learner at age 76 and I’m making zero per hour. But I enjoy building my shop and learning. Your followers far exceed the complainers. They probably don’t have their own channel.

Thank you! Make yourself a noodle board right now (my wife and I will never own one as we use our stove every day and see it as a huge pain to have around), take a picture, post it and say you will customize it in size, design & color.
I build and sell planter boxes and am really into the cost break downs you do. Iv never figured out how long it takes me to make one so its hard to put a price on my time but I'll check the clock when I start and leave my "workshop" tonight as I have one to build by the 28th. It costs $30 of materials (not including screws, glue, paint and polyurethane because I buy in bulk and cant divide that cost up (easily)) and I sell them for $120 (New Zealand) I do it as a side gig around my 9-5 and juggling 3 kids so sometime ill only be in the shed for an hour a night but I have the next two days off so I'm interested in breaking down that cost of time. Keep up the videos my man
Yeah, the three kids ruin all productivity, but they're worth it. Seems like those planters have a nice profit margin. I'd love to see a picture of the finished product if you have one to share... Thanks for the encouragement.
I have to admit, you must be a pretty good salesman. I am pretty stunned that you sold your "noodle board" for $80. Hell, at $80 I'd sell those all day every day.
I just sold another one for $60 unstained, unfinished because she wanted to use some specific gel stain to test things out. When items are made custom, it's good to talk about the options...that way they know that different designs are more involved. Thanks for the comment!
I have binge watched your entire series in the last two hours. Good stuff. I’m in the same boat. Limited tools and want to make money to upgrade tools. I have a full time job. My only issue is I’m not selling. Which is making this super difficult as you can imagine.
One of the questions I always ask when batching out a project is...Can I house these batched items easily? AND How long can I do it for? These answers determine whether or not I will batch them out even if I know they are good sellers. Cornhole is the perfect example. I love having a few sets already on hand prior to March, but they have to sit in my basement a few months before bringing them to market.
@@makemoneywoodworking yes my same issue. I don’t have a basement. I have a quarter of a two car garage. All my stuff gets moved to the driveway when I work. I was going to make a couple corn holes in late february so I don’t have to hold on to them very long.
I actually have thought about those. It may be more of a custom piece as every tub has different dimensions. But maybe I'll make one for my tub and post it as a customized piece on fb. Thanks for the reminder!
Binge watched a few of your later episodes, some great work. In the last 3 episodes you have mentioned that you have limited clamps, now that you have over $600 in the fund would it be worth getting 2 or 3 more sets as you will use them in further projects and it will also help with time savings too. Looking forward to future episodes.
Yes. Adding a couple more in this next EP I'm currently finishing up. Gotta go slow in order keep enough funds in the purse for materials as that cost isn't decreasing anytime soon. Also, since this is a channel I wish I had earlier on in my woodworking journey, I always hated seeing people on youtube bust out 50 clamps for a project I was interested in making. 2 more clamps (24") coming in next EP. Definitely helps. Thanks for the comment!!
@@makemoneywoodworking Totally agree, I'm sure those channels did it just as you are doing it (probably before YT was a thing for some of the older guys), adding to tools as you go along when you have some spare cash to do so, which is the best way, over a period of years they've built up their collection of 50 clamps, which you'll get to too. I'm not sure of anyone who started out with the best of everything, but rather getting the mid level DIY range of tools and then getting the pro versions once they'd built up a good income from the woodwork.
@@makemoneywoodworking You will! I'm sure all your followers will enjoy the process too. Absolutely, you should only compare yourself to how you were yesterday. Keep up to good work
This is one of my favorite channels. I’ve just recently gotten into woodworking and I love how you lay it all out for me. Very inspiring to not just make something but make several things
Thank you! This truly means a lot to me. I created the channel as it was something I wish I had when I first started out. Feel free to share my channel/videos with someone you know.
Sorry to hear about the sump pump, kinda late information but I believe a python is the name of the item, I was for about 15 or so years into aquariums mostly Cichlids South American and African. Anyways a python hooks up to your utility tub faucet handle tho other end is a tube that when put in the aquarium creates a vacuum and it would raise the gravel a tad and remove the waste. I believe it would work as well , just information have a good holiday and stay safe. The python is about 59 bucks for a 25 foot one BTW I believe.
I just finished watching all your build videos. Great job on all of them. I have a couple of suggestions. One is to use a stop block when you are cutting multiple pieces on your miter saw. It is much faster than trying to line up the first cut every time, especially when your building say 10 blanket ladders. One other is that you should use pre stain conditioner on your pieces before staining. That will stop the blotchiness and give a much more even finish. Also I subscribed so keep them coming. 👍
Good points. I'm trying to skip the miter saw video portions as I don't see it adding value to my videos, but a stop block is a great idea, nonetheless.
A few things... -Since I don't have a planer, sanding with 80 grit may be able to help smaller bows/cupping. -If you elected not to glue (I didn't), you have some flexibility in board placement. -There are some videos online that talk about grain orientation when gluing up (if you use glue) -Lastly, if you're making a noodle board for a glass top stove, there's a little 1/4 lip around the 3 glass top stoves that I've seen that sit proud of the rest of the stove which actually gives you a little margin for error in any bowing/cupping. I hope this helps!
Yes, actually I just built another one for a gal and I was able to purchase the k4 with part of the ongoing purse for a 2nd noodle board. I found that this one needed pocket holes because of the thinner slats. You just have to play around with it to make sure it sits flush. Now you have insight into the next tool purchase 😁
FB mainly...1)local fb groups, 2)fb marketplace, 3) word of mouth...in that order of frequency. Someone else commented that they sell mostly on Offer Up. I may explore that in the near future. There's also a Santa Mouse Bazaar that happens every December (excluding 2020) which I hope to participate in....It's a one day crafts fair to support the school district. Each booth pays a measly ~$15 to have a booth but you keep 100% of your revenue. Short answer, FB. Thanks for the question. Have you had success on FB at all?
@@makemoneywoodworking no, no idea how to use Facebook at all. So I’ll have to figure that out. Thank you for the response. Love the content because it’s me and fits everything I am doing, except success is more your thing than it is mine at the moment. I’ve built quite a few things but it’s all around my house. Haven’t sold hardly any of my projects and the ones I have has been word of mouth or someone coming over and saying they like it.
Word of mouth is great and, ideally, that would be my first option. But that comes with time I suppose. If you do go down the fb route, make sure you find the local groups. In my town of 10k, there's an Arts and Crafts page as well so look for those type of pages as well. Best of luck and thanks for the encouragement!
What was the dimensions. I understand stoves are different sizes. Just curious. In response to one of your your commenters. You handled it great. I've been doing this since 2012. I started with pallet wood and a $50 used set (miter saw and sander). I already had a drill. I feel like the point of your channel isn't to show the vast income you can make. But to show how you can get started without having to invest in all the tools and have a huge expense up front. Also... some projects that are easy to batch out and sell to help you get started without breaking the bank. Your channel spans a long time frame, but thats not a realistic picture of how long it would take to get money in your pocket and a "purse" to get more projects going. PLUS... there's a point where you won't be spending half your purse on new tools. There's a point where you have your tools and you are making more profit. I have a full shop. (And I do mean FULL! I am blessed beyond measure.). I for one have enjoyed this series and will keep watching. I get value out of it and I'm sure new woodworkers will too. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart. You get it. (As most others do too). As indicated in my trailer for the channel, I got so frustrated watching youtubers use ridiculous tools and then say "you could use a jigsaw"...don't get me wrong, I love bob Clagett's channel, and he's not the only one guilty of it. Thanks again for the kind words. Much appreciated!!!
Although there are standard stove top sizes, this project is a commissioned piece as every stovetop can be a little different... especially the gap between the stovetop edge and the existing countertop. This one was about 30-1/2" x 22" but she wanted the noodle board to extend beyond the stove and to cover the gap. I hope this makes sense. If not, ask away....👍
These handles specifically, were at Home depot with all the other kitchen hardware type handles. At the time, I knew they were and good deal at $1.50 per so I scooped up about 20 handles. Haven't checked in a while but I should probably take a walk down that aisle now that I've depleted my stock. Let me know if you find them or something comparable.
So....you never make a profit. After 10 shows. What's the point?

Thanks again for the kind words. Much appreciated!!!
What size is this overall and the size of each board. Thank you.
Although there are standard stove top sizes, this project is a commissioned piece as every stovetop can be a little different... especially the gap between the stovetop edge and the existing countertop.
This one was about 30-1/2" x 22" but she wanted the noodle board to extend beyond the stove and to cover the gap.
I hope this makes sense. If not, ask away....👍
What size handles did you use and where did you purchase them? I'm not finding any cheap enough to make sense.
These handles specifically, were at Home depot with all the other kitchen hardware type handles. At the time, I knew they were and good deal at $1.50 per so I scooped up about 20 handles. Haven't checked in a while but I should probably take a walk down that aisle now that I've depleted my stock. Let me know if you find them or something comparable.
Where are you getting your wood so cheap?
Building Materials Bargain Center, Salem OR.

That's definitely a barrier to entry. Sorry to hear. Maybe you can use higher grade wood and charge a premium price?
