    I made your beer caddy and used it as a gift at our company holiday party. Everyone really liked it! Though I made a fair amount of mistakes, I was pretty happy with the results. Thanks, David P.!!

    That last line before the outro was probably one of the most motivating and uplifting thing I needed to hear. I was about a day away from calling it quits on woodworking because I've been running into problems but I really needed this video. Thank you.

    A lot of people turn their noses up at craft show prices - like they're expecting garage sale prices. Artisan and creative work is so undervalued, it's crazy. You're expected to work for peanuts "for love of the craft." Glad to see you leading the charge on pricing your work properly, Dave!

  • @scottmueller9353

    My favorite mod to the totes I’ve made is a rare earth magnet set in from the back beneath the bottle opener to catch the caps.

  • @stumptownwoodworks
    @stumptownwoodworks 5 лет назад

    Definitely agree with not under valuing your time and work. I would caution anyone from totally ditching the fancy math though, you can seriously under estimate your day rate if you don't understand margin and are only looking at your own labor. Also there is a reality check too, if you can only make 4 of those a day and your day rate is 500, that's an expensive beer caddy that likely won't sell, so be realistic with what you make and it needs to be very efficient or really unique in order to sell for the price you need it to. Love that you are one of the few to talk numbers over the years and look forward to the update on these and what else you make for the show.

It never dissatisfied me in my desire to have more information about the art of wood working. I discovered several topics such as wood types as well as designing your workshop..

    Great project and great video as always. After reading some comments I have to agree. People definitely snub their nose up at craft shows expecting some great deal. It's all trial and error. You find the shows that bring in good artisans that do great work and know how to price theirselves. Finding the right shows is important as well. Dont do just any show.

    Preach on about not undervaluing yourself. Happens way too much in graphic design. The struggle is real.

    • @scotttovey
      @scotttovey 5 лет назад +2

      So true!
      You not only have to make sure you do not undervalue yourself, you have to make sure you do not allow others to undervalue you.
      Lowering your price because someone is complaining about it, is not only allowing them to undervalue, you are participating in that undervaluing.

    • @jaenulton9953
      @jaenulton9953 5 лет назад

      Sadly it is often the artist that undervalues their own work, not the clients. Simultaneously shooting themselves in the foot and bringing down expectations for the rest of the designers.

    I think that most of us haven't been to a woodwork expo. I know that I personally would love to hear more about it. What to expect and so on. Maybe some tips if you want to have a booth or som. I know that it's hella expensive to have a booth at tattoo conventions and you have to work nonstop to brake even, that is mostly for exposure.

    • @MakeSomething

  • @slotsize

    I love the idea. How much does the caddy weigh by itself? It’s just so thick. Wouldn’t it be heavy? If I was to use thinner ply wood, would it not be strong enough or is it ok?

      Probably not Elliot Ness that color band on the label is brown. The orange looks like Burning River. My favorite is Blackout Stout. Great Lakes is my favorite craft brew. A clink of a bottle to you! :-)

  • @JohnMadeit
    @JohnMadeit 5 лет назад

    Iv'e been thinking to do a craft fair. after i make something and to price it to where its worth my time. the price is higher than i think people may pay. So i was thinking to make a high end version and a budget version. so the customers would have a choice of which one they want to buy. have you or any one else reading this tried this tactic? whats you opinion?

    • @MakeSomething
      @MakeSomething  5 лет назад

      Tough call. When I do craft shows I don't make any variants of one product. Too much choice leads to the buyer not knowing what to do and walking away to think about it. Many times they don't come back. That being said, I've never tried this technique.

  • @paulbuffington9709

  • @theburris
    @theburris 5 лет назад +1

    Your attitude and presence on camera is inspiring. Good “speech” at the end. 👍
    quick question: when you cut the angles of the sides on the bandsaw , and used tape on the bottom, do you cut along the tape line or cut through the tape?

    • @jmeyer3927
      @jmeyer3927 5 лет назад +1

      Burris Dixon cutting through the tape eliminates most of the chip out. Cutting along the tape line would only address half the problem. Bandsaws cut down, so you want the tape on the bottom (the surface that the blade exits). It’s a pretty effective technique.
