I almost skipped this because I've not ever made cornhole boards and have had no intentions. But these were great ideas. I do have a request for a a connect four. The renting option seems like it might work for me. Sharing with schools is also great.
I actually have made a connect four but it was a lot of work so I didn't want to sell it. I have rented it out for a wedding reception though only once. It's definitely an eye catcher.
RUclips just recommend your channel to me and Im on board! Iv been doing raised planter boxes for about 2 months now and 100% agree batch em out. I only sell them on Facebook Marketplace but as soon as i tell people that they are made to order i get no response. the first few i made sold in minutes cause i could drop them off that day. Cornhole isnt a known here in New Zealand but i might whip one up and see how it goes. Summer has just started here and our Xmas revolves around outdoor family fun.
Awesome! I'm glad to hear it's reached someone on the other side of the world. That's the internet for you, I guess.😁 Thanks for the kind words. Another viewer mentioned that you can save money on finding cheaper materials (corn bags, different plywood, as well as differentiating it with stencils of common designs...new Zealand football?). Definitely have to be patient with something at this price point, but I think it's worth it. Thanks again for the comment and sub!
I like the concept of your channel! I am planning something similar bit not exactly the same. I love the running total to show people it can be done. I'd like to see info on the selling process. Has everything sold? How long did it take? Stuff like that.
Thank you for the encouragement. I'm planning on adding more info about the sales side of things in future videos but maybe after a group of videos otherwise, I wouldn't have enough info. What are you thinking with your channel?
@@makemoneywoodworking I've been woodworking as a hobby for years. I've never sold anything but I've made many projects for our home. I have a really solid group of tools but they are all older second hand or newer low quality tools. I'd like to chronicle starting to make things specifically to sell and to invest that money to fund my hobby or possibly even make a side income. I think lots of people think "I can make and sell corn hole boards on Facebook and make 20k a month." I'm much more realistic. I'd like to see how long it would take to make 1k, 5k,10k. Could be a year could be forever lol. But that's what I like about your channel, most people just go to their sawstop, grab a scrap 12 ft long piece of walnut, break out the domino and make table. Lol
I hear you re: saw stop/walnut slab. I just watched a video where a gal used "scraps" of walnut, maple and something else with her really nice bandsaw 🙄 I've sold about 12 cornhole sets over the span of 8-10 years, to give you an idea.
Love the tips! Way to hussle. Inspiring for those starting out! Staging is certainly critical. If renting out, or doing weddings, adding a nice stained stencil logo (if your friends are sports fans) could be a fun way for initiates to differentiate products as well. You likely aren't selling those used sets anyway (at least not at full price), so there is limited risk in logo selection. These are "marketing sets". Selling/renting to a school/business? The school/business name on the side or mascot on the face in a darker stain/spray paint is a nice touch. Just make sure to test the process on a scrap piece first!!! *Side benefit, of doing this to marketing/promo units: you get to take lots of pictures of "unique" (customized) boards staged by the user showcasing your customization capabilities. Etsy is great for this type of personalization (stencil buying). Yes, it adds cost, but you can pass that along to the buyer in the "customized board" option of your offering 👍 If your venture grows enough, you could always invest in a stencil machine yourself (but you would need to really be batching these). Sometimes Esty vendors may be willing to cut deals if you reach out and 'partner' with them for repeat business. Turning someone into a vendor gives them peace of mind on the order flow side (they know you will keep buying) and may allow them to offer you a preferred, or bulk discount even if you are only buying 10 singles at a time. Keep up the great work!
Good points again. When I rent out sets, I mark those used sets down $25 if I end up selling them, however I try to keep a few sets as ongoing rentals. As far as stencils go, it's definitely a good idea outside of my channel as initial costs are not a factor. Definitely a point/tip to differentiate/customize from other options. Thanks again!!!
hey quick question, i have seen a lot of your videos all great BTW i like how you break down a cost would you ever using a grrriper i know they are expensive ( around 60/70 bucks) i am new in woodworking and would like to get one. i haven't seen anything dangerous in your videos just a question.
There have been a few times where a piece of wood, when being ripped wants to pull up on me as I'm making a pass thru my table saw, but it seems pretty easy to catch and push down. I've heard some people love them while others have it but don't use it. I suppose if I had one, I'd use it, but you don't know what you don't know, right?
@@makemoneywoodworking have you seen the Steve Ramsey video on the Candy Canes or snowflakes the snowflakes seem like a good selling piece and return on your investment.
@@makemoneywoodworking In your blanket ladder video you mentioned using a spacer cut into a parallelogram, how would you go about cutting one I don't remember seeing it plus being a newbie I am unsure thanks
It should be the same angle as the angle on the bottom of each leg. And cut as a parallelogram, so that each rung will be level when it rests against your wall. I make mine 12" long so that the rungs are spaced 12" apart. No worries. Ask away!

Great video ,I wanted some more details on Rule #7 [Renting] with summer all ready upon us I think renting My airbrushed art boards is a Fantastic option, Are you on facebook where i could send you some pics and maybe get a little more directions or get in contact some other way ? once again thanks for the video and paying some great tips forward//
Which tip do you think is the best?
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the encouragement!
Yep. This is very helpful. Thank you.
I feel inspired by your tip #7, renting it out is super smart!
Thank you. That means a lot, honestly. Yeah, at the very least, you provide some fun for someone.

Staging the products and taking good pictures has been the biggest thing to help me sell woodworking projects.
Yeah, I didn't think so until I had my sister in law stage my ladders and then they sold quickly. People love to see how it would look in a space.
