I'm investigating if maybe woodworking from my small garage could be a way for me to work less hours as a anesthesia nurse since it has left me burnt out two times over the course of 3 years. This type of project actually seems possible even from a garage, but obviously I have to secure the sales too... Thx for the tips on that!

    I think that it only makes sense to batch out relatively common items such as cutting boards in this way. Buying an unfinished product in bulk, then finish the rough product, customizing it for resale is the way to stream line the production process. If I build a piece of furniture, I'm not going to make the hinges, handles, nails, screws, or whatever else I can buy cheaper than make myself, I'm gonna buy those items at cheaper rate, and incorporate them into my product. It's Smart. If someone else is making something in rough form, and offers it for sale that way, knowing that others go are going to finish them, customize them, resell them, go for it. You're working backwards if you don't.😎🤓🤠

    Glad to see the handles on the cutting boards are in line and do not have hand holes. Most boards I've seen have the HH's and if dropped will most likely break at the handle.
    It looked like you were seasoning the boards with vegetable oil. I have been over the last 4 days adding a flood coat of oil to a board my wife bought. After about 12 hours I have noticed all the oil absorbed into the board and the surface almost dry looking. 713 Woodworking uses a pan that his boards will fit inside and he submerges his boards for a day or two. I should have taken his lead on that.

    Im from South Africa, the maximum we can sell cutting boards for is about $15- $20 and that's pushing it. No way we can make a living selling that here. Also too expensive to ship to the US which cost me $60 just to ship it to the US from South Africa 😢

      ​@surronzak8154 In the U.S., $60 is cheap for a quality cutting board. You can always get the cheap, plastic ones or the bamboo ones from China for $20ish, but for decent quality hard wood, you may looking at $100+.

    As long as the boards available are cheap and come in the same standards in numbers, it looks like a good job.
    Doing on private business makes a good profit, but If the business expands and employees are hired, it gets much harder I believe.
    Also finding customers that order big numbers probably differ depending on the economy and that is where you are taking the risk.
    So far, it looks like your winning the bet, so I hope you can make enough profit will your healthy and going good.
    I'm just an employee of a company, being afraid of taking does risks.

      Amazon definitely have cutting board blanks, but I would also check out lowe’s, walmart, home depot etc.

    Do you mostly sell on Etsy?

      No. I live in Norway, and most people in Norway dont buy things on etsy. I sell mostly on facebook, instagram and word of mouth.

    I like your business model, I love your Gorilla Marketing Execution, but as a tradesman I have trouble putting my name on someone else's materials. Of course I have to do it, I.E. the Grohe or Moen Faucet, the Toto or Kohler Toilet, but these are well known brand names. People know them, they have warranties, and they back them. I am not so confident about an unknown manufacturer of cut rate cutting boards at discount rates.
