- Grow your woodworking business with "smalls"! Ready for the latest trends!?!
Often, smaller items are looked over by new builders looking to make a name for themselves because they are looking for "that one build" that they can sell for a ton of money. They aren't considering the cost of the build and the time spent making it. Ultimately any business comes down to profit margins. I'll give you a few examples of how selling items that anyone can afford can generate crazy sales with very little cost of goods sold!
Sometimes we overthink things when the most profitable items we are looking past. Let's change that.

Got a tip. Dollar Tree has a lot of cheap laser cut Halloween decorations right now. I wanted to make a rustic pumpkin, but I can't free hand draw to save my life. I bought one of their pumpkins and am going to use it as the template to trace on my boards.
They have plenty of others too. In fact they actually have a decent little wood craft section.
The arrows too!
@@dottyjyoung Yep, all sorts of general shapes. I was genuinely surprised Dollar Tree of all places sold wood craft stuff. They even have some thin little craft boards for simple things.
John... That is a fantastic idea and awesome problem solving! I had never thought of that... I hate buying stencils because they are so flimsy but that solves that issue! I love this community!
Need raid stencil stores here in UK am guessing dollar tree is cheap craft shop?
@@michaelwillson6847 Cheap general store really. They sell all sorts of things, mostly made as cheaply as possible.
The stacked pumpkins could be flipped over and paint a snowman on the reverse side
Brilliant!
My dude.... That is what I'm talking about! Thinking outside of the box. Now you have me thinking... what about other seasonal decor that could be transformed for different seasons.
Great idea!
Very creative.
I loved your “turning trash into cash” comment! Such a sense of humor!
There's a fella in my area that hangs out all fall and winter at the (yes, "the") abandoned gas station, giving out free bundles of firewood. He sources the wood from suburbs being cleared for development, so all it costs him is gas money. Any donations, he forwards along to local churches so they can provide warm clothes to families in need. I've gotten some pretty awesome stumps from him in the past! Most recently, he brought me a 13' long pine branch with a lot of character, that I'll be cleaning up and turning into a huge feature light to hang from the ceiling in my living room. :D
Yep yep We have a guy that sells firewood by the wheelbarrow load , about once a month I will swing by an find some great pieces of Cedar , He has even started a separate pile for me to root thru that he thinks I may like . I've helped him fix his gas log splitter a couple times so it works out for the both of us
Thats awesome... So many people benefiting from that.
this channel is very underrated. its like you just DO NOT give shit. other channels are either hiding their "secrets" or have an attitude like they are the mastermind above everone else. you arent triyng to make yourself look superior or hide your process. its like hanging out with a friend. its a crime this isint one of youtubes top channels.
Thanks for the comment. Well... your right. I don't. I am on here to teach... and that's what I'm going to do. There shouldn't be secrets when it comes to trades... we are all trying to learn and get by just the same so why hide anything. One of the reasons I started this channel was just that. Too many channels not teaching... just showing off. I wanted it to come across as if I'm teaching a buddy something that's in the shop with me. So I'm happy to hear I'm reaching some folks on that level. Thanks for your support!
“Trash to cash” was COOL!
Love that Banksy picture in the corner. Can’t tell you how grateful I am for your videos.
Thank you! I’m glad to help.
Been a woodworker for 50 years and still learn things from you!
Thanks Don! My goal in life is to learn something new every day. We all have different ways of thinking... my crazy mind just works a lil different lol.
Dude all I want is the plans for that baller split "Alice in Wonderland" bureau you got in the background. That is PHENOMENAL.
Thanks Kyle! The plans are in my head... 280 angles and mitered bevels... You don't want to get lost up in this head. But TY!
This is how I started my Etsy business... taking things I could find inexpensively and making them into something else. I took $100 and made $1,200 worth of stuff my first year.
Dude !!!!! You are the best...I've learned more watching your videos than anyone else I've watched....Thank you ever so much....
It's just incredible to me that people spend that kind of money
No joke. Blows my mind every time I get on their sites.
Trash into CASH - Hate it? Nope...LOVE IT!!! Thanks Mr Peech!
Lol. Thanks JJ
You almost lost me as a subscriber when you said you don’t like pumpkin pie. However your content is amazing so I’m still with you for now. Thank you for all your hard work.
I like pumpkin rolls if that counts😬
Matthew, thanks so much for your down to earth, simple videos. I find it so hard to believe that these items, made from scraps or discarded pieces, can actually be profitable with simple ideas.
You have another follower. Thank you again.
WHAT?!! You don’t like pumpkin pie?! I’ll take your share. 😉
I know... I think its a texture thing... I dig a pumkin roll... just not the pie. I'll mail my share to ya.
Mr Peech, you are a BAD MAN.....having me think I can make items from reclaimed wood and fence pickets and actually make money. Terrible./sarc The fall craft show was THIS weekend and I had nothing ready, but I am making my daughter some halloween decor items. My problem is full time job and other chores leave me little time for wood work. Tho I did make 2 planters, and will make 2 cedar planters for my mom for her new house. Next month I need to make a few Christmas items. I love how something as simple as a window type frame can sell....amazing.
I love this guy!
Thanks Phil!
Keep up the great videos, Great Job. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Woodworking for money turns a hobby into a job and takes the fun out of it. At least for me it does. My regular job pays way more than woodworking ever would. I don't love it but it pays the bills. Prefer to keep woodworking as an enjoyable hobby.
Then why are you here? No one is forcing you to try to make money from it. Just seems like you felt the need to drop a needless negative comment.
@@stratmatt73 It's a warning to woodworking hobbyists. You may end up not enjoying your hobby when you turn it into a job. Once you have orders to fill, deadlines to meet, more frequent equipment problems and maintenance, quality material shortages or costs you didn't count on etc.
True. But if you're only after a few bucks, like a few hundred or a couple grand a year then these small projects could still be enjoyable. It work get boring and old to build and try to sell a bunch of them, I think.
Hey AT! You know... if you are making the same thing over and over and over then yes... You can get burnt out and it is a job. What I do to keep that from happening is to make so many of one item and then move on. I like doing my own builds how I want to make them and then sell them. I would make 5 tables... market them as limited release... and then start on the next project that I wanted to make and repeat. The smalls help to grow as a woodworker, learn, and to create income when the larger items aren't. Just depends on how you look at it and how well you grow your name. Thanks for the input!
No worries Stratmatt73. We are all in different situations and different skill levels. This channel is for folks of all types... some just want to make one thing with their grandchildren... maybe blow off some steam after work... destress... and some want to sell the heck out of this stuff! I have sawdust in my veins so I'm partial. But I support anyone that wants to learn the craft. Thanks for watching!
These videos have me motivated to get off my arse and get back in my shop
Get to work Ken!
I was going through Hobby Lobby to get ideas. I almost fell over when I saw that they were selling a set of four 4” pallet slats for $6.99. My wife has a flea market shop and I the pallet slats. All I have to do is sand the slats, tie together with twine and price it. Will have mine as a set of six for $5.99.
Nice idea!
You should consider a holiday themed episode
I have made about $150 from simple stuff from your videos. It'll be about 2 weeks before I can build anything else, I just busted my lip with my lathe after a block flew off, had to get 10 stitches and 2 staples. I'm 16 years old, I enjoy woodworking, gardening. ETC
Thats awesome... not the lip, but the sales and the fact that you like the lathe! I will be posting some turning videos at some point. Keep it up!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking When my grandfather was teaching me how to use saws and other tools, the first thing he said was "At some point or another your going to get cut" , my grandma's brother told me the same thing when he taught me how to use the lathe.. I wish there were more kids my age that preferred woodworking over game station's
You're a God sent. Thank you for all the content 🙏
Sweet, my Bear in Cedar made the cut for the video! That was a fun build, but it made me realize I HATE doing herringbone patterns. It took me the better part of 2 days to put it together. I'm going to have to go exploring my barn now, the guy we bought the property from loaded it up with firewood (at least 6 years worth) so I might be sitting on a gold mine!
Heck yea!!! Lol herringbone is a lil tedious but for larger pieces they are selling as art and getting paid for that pain. And the firewood! Yes! Even if its not a round theres alot you can do with some of the pre split stuff. Square it up and you have a nice chunk of wood.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking We told a buddy he could have the free standing fireplace we have (previous owner put it in the middle of the dining room for some ungodly reason) and my wife told him he could take all that wood with him. I had to put a stop to that one quick, fast & in a hurry!
thats a very nice piece you did. mine is the aztec pattern with greens blues and oranges
yes, that one literally jumped out to me. great job !
@@tomrudd530 Thanks :) I made it to sell at an upcoming craft fair but the second my wife saw it on the wall she instantly claimed it. That's what I get for bringing pieces into the house lol
Love watching your vlog mi Amigo. You had me laughing a couple of times on this one. You've given me some great ideas to get back in the woodshop, especially since I just retired so that I could get back in there.
Congrats on being Jonathan Katz-Moses creator of the week! 🤘
Thanks... I didnt even know that lol. I'll have to check it out!
Thank you, Matthew, for helping us stay the path. So many of the other channels I watch are consumed by all the neat tools they can buy, tool reviews, and projects so complex they might take weeks (if you’re that good - me, with my tools, they’re virtually impossible). You rock, dude!
Yea CC... Thats why I started this channel. Yes I have some awesome tools... but I try to teach builds that can be made with basic tools. We all start somewhere. I started with a $10 miter box. I can't blame them for the reviews... that's how they support their channel is able to keep creating. Thanks!!!
You're too nice. Most people would say, "If you can't look at this star snag figure it out without a plan, working might not be for you"
Every time you post a new video of this series it always gets me pumped to build stuff and sell it! Never stop this series please! They’re great.
I just got my new shop built last week, just waiting for power and insulation…then I’m off to the races. I hope to be able to make the fall and winter seasons to start making some money.
Same! I am so happy to see a new Matthew video notification.
Awesome! I am in the process of getting a new shop space as well, and can't wait to start making some of these projects!
Me too. I’ve started building the planter box. First one didn’t work out too well. Making the second one now and it’s looking a lot better. Will sell in my wife’s flea market shop, will be asking $50.
If you use the cut out pieces of the star you have Patrick Star after painting pink.
This is exactly why I collect old fence boards all summer, I currently have 3000 cedar boards in stock ready to turn into $$$$$
It’s funny right? Woodworkers spend years perfecting their skills, practicing techniques, aiming for perfection… while what the commoners all want are just slabs glued together! Well, better for us I guess. Easy and fast to make.
Thanks for the video!
I love these smalls videos! Thank you so much and keep them coming.
Love your videos. Thanks from the UK
Thank you Matt!
Thank you for putting this out. I appreciate some of the Ideas. I am getting some coasters made from a 4x4 with an acrylic wash and poly finish.
I am making some trivets out of MDF and coating them with epoxy. Using lots of pallet wood. Got some pallet flags in the works, also...
Awesome video and information. Thanks
Love the fire wood stuff. I work for the city where I live, and we have a ton of material like that at the compost site. $$! Thanks again for sharing these great tips Matt! Love the channel and everything you have been doing here. Glad to be a part of the community.
Thank you. Awesome share
loving this series Matt, awesome!!
Thanks for sharing your ideas
Thank you... Another great video...
Love these videos, Matthew~! Please keep the good ideas coming. Thanks much~!
Yet another home run! Thanks!!
Nice thanks for sharing
Love these videos and love your channel. Keep the great content coming!
Great content, thanks
At the very least, you’re sitting on six years’ worth of warmth! 😁
I'm going to jump on this! I'm tight on cash bad and I've been interested in woodworking for a long time. I'm going to do something good for myself by giving this a shot!
I'm following!
Great tips! I really like the idea to create items that can be customized for each season. Being able to target the seasonal decor audience without having to constantly change designs will be a huge time saver
Love these videos.
Thank you soo much for sharing your knowledge and great ideas🤗
Love your channel !
Love the ideas! Very encouraging to start creating!!
Your channel is so inspirative. I'm glad I've found you a couple of months ago. I'm surprised about the prices regular American stores are asking for these kinds of products. I'm going to try out some of the things you mentioned in this video and the the other videos on "smallies" in the coming few months.
These are what got me in gear to start woodworking. I wanted to do it for a long time and these showed me how to do it. Thank you, Matt
Love to hear it!!! Keep it up!
Love your videos. Great source for ideas. Keep it up!
Love watching you thanks for the ideas
Matthew I must say I do not have a creative and artistic side to me so these videos are spot on to help those of us who are not that creative. Much appreciated
No worries Guy! What you'll notice is that the more that you do these builds the more your creativity will grow!
Your the “wood” under my wings! Thanks for another great video.
Thanks for watching pun Paul!
Thanks and will do Karen!
You always have great advice and content!
Awesome sign! Thanks Mathew for all the helpful information and techniques!
My pleasure! And yes it is! He did a great job!
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB HELPS ALLOT OF PEOPLE
Great video Matthew! Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration!! Blessings!!!
No worries Joe! And to you as well!
More great ideas!! Thank you! Love these videos!!
Glad you like them!
Matt I have been turning out custom pieces for years, mainly for friends and family and their acquaintances, and as you have guessed next to no profit and sometimes at a loss especially where time and design is concerned….. So glad I happened across your videos, and I believe I’m going to start getting ready for the next season or holiday and start doing “ Small’s “ ! ! you are so right, I live in a small town where there are like 5-6 of these small craft shops and I am lucky enough to be in the centre of a couple to 3 hours away from large cities, Although Woodworking is not my source of income, I do find myself with 1-2 weeks off between turn arounds at my regular job, So I am going to see where this can take me. Thanks so much for the inspiration p, definitely will be subscribing and I’ll keep tabs and notes and perhaps give you an update in 6 months. Cheers Brother and keep up the Great work !
Just want to say thanks for making these small videos. I made my first batch of coasters today and will make 3 more before starting to sell.
Very cool
Again, you've helped my business beyond measure. Thank you!
No worries! Thats what Im here for. So glad that I could help.
What a great video, this will help a lot
Thank You.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for showing these amazing ideas
No worries!
Wilsoooooooooooooooon!!!!!
Awesome ideas!! Thank you Sir.
No worries! Thanks for watching!!!
Incredible channel 👏
Omg my friend just told me about you and it's exactly what I need!!!😍😍😍😍 I spend so much time on making something that you could buy way cheaper at hobby lobby 😵💫 I love your cost breakdown and these are so cute!! Thank you!!!
More great ideas. Thanks, Matthew. You've inspired me and it's paying off this month. Sent you a brag email with my Jack O' Lanterns. Can't wait for January. I've got a ton of ideas for spring.
No worries! A ton more to come! I have so many that I simply "run out of time'" to put in the videos. I may go back and put another one out soon made of the footage I couldnt fit in.
Thanks for all the great ideas. My husband took the plunge last year and started his wood working business. We have so much scrap wood I feel the need to rescue but I'm so out of the loop on what's hot now. Ty!
I love these ideas. Thank you so much for sharing your tips, ideas, and how to make money doing these.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the new ideas, that market day that I was talking about, is next weekend... So any new quick ideas help a lot. Thanks again for all your help over the last few months... Have a great week ahead.
Awesome! Have fun! I love setting up at markets... its not for everyone... but theres just something about it.
This is awesome.
Thanks Tri!
On the painted cheese boards, most ppl use them as just decor so you could stain, throw on some painters tape and paint. Just be sure to add a note they are decor only. 😉
Great video as always!
Thanks!
You’re not putting enough cool whip on your pumpkin pie 😂🎃🥧
Brilliant ideas
Thanks Sharon. I had so many more... I do this with every video. I record a ton of ideas and can only fit so many in.
Thanks
Thanks for your help in our building products
It's my pleasure!
These are my favorite!
Thanks Stephanie! I think I'm going to start doing more of them. A Lot of folks love them and I always have several ideas that I didnt get to put in the video.
Matthew ,
Another great video.
Thanks and HELLO from Texas !
Thanks! Whats up Texas!!
French Pickets for the WIN! Thank you Matt - going to grab a few pieces today and try making stars for an upcoming holiday market in my area
Wish i could post pictures here cause I just finished my take of the window frame and I love it
Was in Hobby Lobby took and sent a pic to my daughters about a pumpkin decor for outdoors, a couple of fence pickets and distress the orange and white pumpkins, they loved it! Learned these things from you Matthew, defiantly would be considered smalls and so easy to make. Thank you again...
Thats awesome! You officially have the "I can make that" curse... lol.
Agree. Just recently I cranked out two jack’o lantern porch features (added some remote fairy lights inside). Added an interesting roof & branch for the stem. Also built a decorative holiday lantern - using old upright rails used in decking. Inside was filled with a decorative vase & more bright twinkling fairy lights. The fairy lights add a lot to these projects & are cheap as add ons. Ps - used a decorative wooden finial from old curtain rods as the lantern topper. Looked like it came from a high-end store.
Great advice on the wood rounds. I cut over 100 of those from some scrap oak, pecan, and cherry wood destined for the burn pile. I sanded and sealed them with clear poly. I've made a pretty good sum of cash by selling these. My buyers want pictures of family, mom, dad, grandma, their kids, etc put on them. By selling them as "custom" I can charge more. Thanks for the awesome ideas.
Thanks Mathew. I have a lot of ideas. I am also getting the woodworking bug again. I am now trying to get money to get a small shop together so I can get started again.
Thats awesome Rodger! Check out my video on upgrading to used. Folks dont realize just how nice of a shop that can be made with minimal cost.
Overly active hands but still solid content. Thanks.
Lol. I talk with my hands.... never knew how much until I started editing.
,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…..
