Great video. I am starting up my side hustle and made some awards for a Cub scout gingerbread competition in the shape of a gingerbread house with a large hand placing a gumdrop on the roof. Several colors of paint and some epoxy, it was work. Then I made some simpler plaques for a boyscout event just using a single V bit and finishing with danish oil and shellac. Now I am about to start some for the Lions Club. All for free to try and generate some traffic for paying jobs.
I have been making the growth stick for several years for friends and family. I am a retiree that just wants to have fun. I engrave mine with a CNC. I do engrave evert quarter inch and realize I do not need too. I line my next set of numbers up by just putting the bit in a previous number and away we go. When I do sell mine, I start at $50 for pine and then go up quickly to oak or maple. Great product.
Great advice about making things that don’t ship well to reduce competition. I like the awards concept, you get multiple pieces with slight variations, making it worth the time to design something fun. I need a donkey!!
New to the channel, working on entry into this at a budget. Im going to make a budget CNC tabletop with a couple dremels and vice clamps i think i can do it. I will update at a later date. This stuff is so educational.
Thank you buddy also, I like how you include the bits to use and that was a great tip on the ruler starting at 6 inches and I never thought of a trophy before that’s really cool you’re the best❤️🇨🇦
How did you do that Texas award?? Is that all 1 piece or is it in 2 pieces where you profiled the Tx out, then milled a slot in the base (on a separate piece of wood) for the Tx to fit in it or how?? Any info on how you did that award would be greatly appreciated.
@@shanesphotography3350 Sorry about that, we use Arm-R-Seal it is a general finishes product, it works great if you do like 2-3 layers of it, I finish my tables with it, and then Odie's oil or Osmo coat if I want an Oil look finish on my product.
My man giving people free financial advices, good ones too. May Allah straighten your path

I really love your videos man! You're always coming up with the most solid CNC business owner's faqs and information dense videos! Cheers!
Glad you like them!
Thanks for this vid. A lot to think about.
I'd like to see the machines in Action 🙂
How do you keep zeroing your corner when you keep feeding your ruler through ?
What is the name for those hinges? On the dominos
Can you make the measure board foldable in three?
I really appreciate your content. Fresh, high quality stuff. Even the growth chart looked to be of a better caliber.
Thank you!

What is the purpose of the down cut bit instead of a compression bit is it price speed what's the logic sincerely?
nice
Nice ideas! What do you use for finish?
For most of these we just use a coat of minwax
@@cutting-it-close thanks. I mean the protective finish/clear coat, is it minwax polycrylic?
