Sell it to the Government?
I love all the naysayers on here. If you have such great knowledge of what will or won't sell, why waste your time on RUclips?? You have to start somewhere, and no idea is absolutely perfect. Now am I going to make some of these? No, but the point is to be inspired and find the motivation to take the next step.
I think most people get it. Thanks for stopping by!
Why not sell stamped copper portraits of Abraham Lincoln? Only $5 per penny! 🤑
I agree 💯 percent my friend you never too old to learn new things I'm 64and love trying new things all the time
lets face it. if they are thumbin through random youtube videos. they are probably broke ass mofos. that live paycheck to paycheck wanting gov to bail their dumb ass out.
I've learned in my 2 decades of wood working ..... Nothing takes a project from flea market crafty quality to "old money" quality like a good coat of oil based polyurethane. Gloss if you can find it still ... Semi gloss almost as good. Makes something 1 day old look 100 years old that was refurbed 1 day ago. Just a whole other level of finish.
Good tip
Using wood dye rather than a stain will give you an attractive depth of grain look. Plus, with wood dyes the color choices are far more diverse.
I make tons of tea light holders… pro tip: DON’T use a 1 1/2 inch bit… use a 40 mm bit. It will save you lots of sanding!!!
@stacey.fetzer8969
How so? 40 mm is 1.574 versus a 1 1/2” bit at 1.500 . How does an increase of .074 save you less sanding?
@@MarkAlken-zt7ib t lights are 1 1/2 inches… to make them fit you have to sand the hole bigger. The 40 mm is perfect. I get mine at rockler
@stacey.fetzer8969✨
Thank you for this excellent improvement and explaining your reasoning behind it!
She was so excited to add her 2 cents and only gave .01 😂 🎉
What do you sell them for?, and what kind of wood do you use? Thanks!
Nice idea! I would suggest using a pre-stain, especially on soft woods. It will allow the wood stain to give a nice uniform color without blotches. I don't see any blotching on your project, but it does happen and Minwax pre-stain does work.
Perhaps things have changed since I started Woodworking over 50 years ago but a basic rule was that one NEVER traps a cut-off between the saw and a stop.
In other words as far as possible cut to the left where one can hold the cut piece down and then whisk it away thus avoiding coming off second best to a flying wooden projectile.
At the very start of the Video I noticed a healthy block start to elevate on its way to taking flight before being subdued.
Pretty nice golf ball display holder.
Looks like a kid’s first wood shop project.
Simplicity is good!
Link to where you sell your wood work?
Just subscribed to your great channel, I am retired and you have inspired me to give your project’s a go as I have lots of time on my hands, I also have quite a few woodworking tools laying around so thank you.
Welcome aboard! I'm glad you find some value!
Great idea! I would have used a conditioner before the stain, just to mute the grain a little bit.
It's a top piece for 4x4 fence posts.
I can possibly see these selling in a high dollar urban area where people have no tools or skills, and are willing to hand over the money for almost anything. Once you get away from the cities, I think they'd be a lot harder to sell.
Thanks for leaving these in!
I don't care what they're selling for. Show me what they actually sold for.
Exactly and how many sales per week
i don't want to deal with small amounts of money, customers etc.
Nice work Ronnie, congrats on your viral video! 😎
Thank you for taking your time to inspire others.
I really liked the tray you displayed them in.
Found the occasional 2x4 under 3 1/2 wide so I just cut the length to match the width so that the bevels are even on all sides, fun project
Nice work! I have a ton of leftover scrap 2x4s that would be perfect to use for these candle holders.
Great project Ronnie! I just made some this weekend. I did a slight twist to it. I know it’s a little more expensive, but I cut 1x4’s of select pine and glue 2 together for each unit. The sanding was a little less, but I’m still going to make some of the ones from a 2x4. Thanks again and I appreciate all the inspiration of your ideas.
Very cool! Getting inspiration and creative is what it's all about. Good job
Great job.
I get so tired of know it all comments!!
I'm used to it. Thanks for stopping by!
Great Workmanship....Keep posting your videos...We all love them 👍
Thanks 👍
great job for the oldman. love you@@RonniesWorkshop
Loved your video. Looking forward to watching more. I need a drill press now...😊
Very clever use of a 2 X 4!
I know and to think all of the little scraps of 2x4's I've thrown out over the years.
We lived by a lumber yard and we burned their scrap lumber for 20 years. We could have made 10,000 of those. Darn!
Good job and project thx for sharing Keep building
Thanks Larry, I appreciate your constant support!
@@RonniesWorkshop good content
Along the same line of thinking, I made a cigar ash tray in a similar way, then used polyurethane over the stain.
Great Video. Great ideas.
Wonderful idea Ronnie. I've got scraps lying around, guess i'll get cracking. Thanks!
Nice project for scraps. To really maximize on your profitability jigs and batch work helps. I can see an upgraded workbench with dog holes and router table in your future to make builds more efficient. Congrats on the viral video!
Thanks! You are right about jigs for proficiency.
But how many orders do you really have? Batching means you get a high volume.
@@qhadj5387 The idea is to build out multiple orders at once to have them ready to go. 👍
@inspiringbuilds like as said, unless orders come in regularly, you can't batch. Else you will need lots of storage space. Looking at most etsy sellers, orders are few.
Very nice Ronnie 😁
Another great video!
They would even be good as Christmas presents
Nice job on these last 3 videos!
😄
Awesome
Loved it!
Ohhhhh the rounding makes me think tealight candle holders
imagine if instead of cuttung a hole in it, you cut a notch in it to hold a phone. would easily sell for a $10 phone holder.
New subscriber here. Thanks for posting this video and sharing this great idea. I have a BUNCH of scrap 2x4's that will definitely work for this project.
Awesome! Thank you!
@@RonniesWorkshop I might post a video of some of my work soon.
As soon as I saw the drill bit I knew it was a candle holder.
Takes some time to realize, but most of these folks are making money off the youtube vids OF the 'product' and/or the plans, not really about the product they're making.
I'm not making any money off this product and never claimed to be making it. I am showing examples of items actually selling on Etsy and giving proof of the stats. Believe it or not. I build these items to show how easy it can be done, rather than just coming on and making a claim.
Tea light holder!
The only thing I don't care for is the way the end grain accepts the stain. Otherwise, I like these!
Using a pre stain conditioner will make a big improvement in how the wood absorbs the stain.
I've made many wood candle holders. They are not very popular, hard to sell.
You can try a piece of sandpaper beneath that piece your routing.
It’s already near that price in Canada, never saw prices like this in this country
So, what are you doing now Bob? Making candles.... man - (Cheech & Chong - let's make a dope deal)
thanks for not making this a 38 min video like the other guys
no doubt.
Whats that miter saw tent called
Did you sell any?
Great idea, small items can be powerful money makers. I would suggest sanding the end grain sides one grit level higher than the rest so they don't absorb as much stain.
Is there a stain or something you can cover these with that would make them a little more fire resistant? The whole wood and fire thing kinda freaks me out.
Tealight holders! 1:57
@TuckySlim Wow! I can see that in my mind's eye. Thanks.
Serious question, if someone buys one and takes it home, lights the candles, and their house burns down, will you be liable? I was thinking about putting battery operated candles in them and if they chose to put real candles in them, then all liability would be on them?
I wouldn't give them candles to go with the holders for the reason you discuss. I would recommend they use LED candles.
@@RonniesWorkshop I make glass jar and round metal tin candles. I put a standard candle warning label on the bottom. The labels are cheap. To cover your ass I might suggest having labels made stating to use with the battery powered tea lights. Also, sell the battery lights as an adder. I think your project is great!!!!!
The end of your video was blurred out. I couldn't see the final project. Somehow I still enjoyed the video. 😂
Now I noticed that there was a tray where all the candle holders sat in. Was that included with the set of candle holders or no? Very nice idea though!
No, the tray was not included.
It looks nice but a wooden candle holder is a terrible idea, it can be great to hold other things but something with a flame is a disaster waiting to happen
1:36 Candleholders 🕯️
I really have to start making some shit.
Yes you do, just start making something. Used to say the same thing, I’m finally making and it’s great
We all agree!
Facts
I was going to say I assume it's going to be for tea lights but the comments already confirmed it as soon as I came to type it
Candle Holder DRS
Votive candle holder
candle holder?
Tealight holders
They are cool. But did you actually sell them?
4x2 👌👌
Damn. I'm one tool short.
Tea candle holder 2:31.
Does that quanson hut looking cover over the miter saw keep the mess and dust down ?
Very much so. I have a wall vac unit connected to the bottom of it and a dust deputy connected to the saw outlet. Cuts way down on dust.
When you sand do you go through the different grits like 120,150,180& 220?
I just did 220 on this
Why is the last few minutes of video all blurred out???
Tea light holder
After this video there will 10000 people selling candle holders on ebay or Amazon. Clever idea though for video clicks
Candle holder, or Golf ball holder
Fence post caps
paused at 1:44 - I am guessing Tea light holders
you should do the bevel cuts on the 8 foot 2x4 before you chunk it up.
Why was the video blurred out from 2:30 on?
I turn three 2x4's into $500, so theres definitely things that sell
I made thousands struggled to get five pounds for them
What do you use to stain it with?
Dark Walnut
My guess was a votive candle holder
Have Hacksaw Jim Duggan autograph it. The only way someone will pay thar much for some plywood you can get for under 10 bucks at home depot
Candle holder
My guess is sound proof panels
Why not just put a scented teacup candle in them ?
tealight holder
I'd use my stationary belt sander not my hand sander
What is that you use around your miter saw to collect dust? Can you send me a link?
It's a Rousseau 5000 Dust Hood: amzn.to/4bLBfAM
I have a wall mounted vac connected to the bottom of it, along with a Dust Deputy: amzn.to/3T96bnl connected to the saw's dust port
Lol I was curious about that too I was like where is all of it going
What about liability if this catches fire and burns a house down or worse.
When I do my 30° cuts I'm doing it with a chop saw and I do have a stop block but they don't come out even. There's always one side they just makes a triangle that goes all the way across the woods.
What am I doing wrong to cause this to happen It's only on one side and it happens every time? I don't have a table saw I have a chop saw and a radial arm saw
Sorry, I've never tried it with a chop saw. I would be nervous having my hands so close to the blade with each cut.
candle holder
Do you use any type of topcoat over the stain?
I put a coat of gloss poly on these.
Excellent. Thx
Is it just me, or is this a house fire in the making? A wood thing to hold a burning wax thing. 😮
Step 1. Buy $5000 worth of power tools

Go back to your mother's basement.
@Deximaru,not if you are a dummy like you that doesn't know what they are doing 😂 I build mine with $400 dollars worth of Ryobi tools from Home Depot 😂
“A little over an hour,” he said.
Sure.
Video goes blurry at the 2:30 mark, I couldn’t see the end
Nice project! What is scrap wood?
Wood left over from other projects.
I'm guessing tea candle holders?
yeah right I’ve tried this as an experiment with my ETSY shop. I made a set of three out of scrap Ash and listed for $21.99 lol no hits and not one favored I also made a set of walnut coasters with the same results so what is your secret to selling these?
First off, you can't "experiment" with an Etsy shop. It takes time, patience, strategy, and more time. It took me a while before my plans started selling. Second, I never claimed to be selling these on Etsy. I do have access to sales statistics and know for a fact that items like these do sell. I made these because I didn't want to have a video where I say "hey, build these", I'd rather show how they can be built so new woodworkers can get an idea. I wish you the best with your shop and encourage you to not give up on it. Wait till my next video comes out. You won't believe that what I build actually sells on Etsy. I could hardly believe it myself.
Yeah, in my experience these things just don't sell. I have a fairly well established woodworking Etsy shop (I sell splined picture frames, and make a full time living on just Etsy), and I wanted to get rid of some scrap wood so I built some of these that are similar style but a bit more modern in design, except in nice hardwood like Walnut, Cherry and Oak. I literally couldn't give them away, and I was selling them for $4.99 with free shipping and I sold 1 last year. And my shop gets plenty of traffic. Nobody wants them, at least in my experience. Same with coasters, wine bottle holders, and all of that cheap gimmicky stuff.
Congratulations on your Etsy success! When you say, "nobody wants them", the stats just don't back that up. Now, they may not sell as hot as other items, but people do buy them. Anyway, I'm just trying to get people to start thinking of ways to make some money. You know it can be done, you said you're doing a full time living. I think that is awesome!
