One Simple Woodworking Project That Sells! Make Money Woodworking

Published 2024-06-06
Are you running a woodworking side hustle or a DIYer, and you want to add a new project to your product list? This shoe tray/boot tray/shoe organizer has been a tremendous moneymaker for me. It's simple, easy, and low-cost to make, yielding high profits. Best of all....not many people are selling these on sites like Etsy, so the market wider! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the video!

    I would not have been risking all those pilot holes, the danger is as you said. I would have used glue and brad nails to attach the base before staining.
  • Nice build šŸ‘donā€™t forget to make a jig for your handle placements as well
  • Just take one you built and make a jig for it. It will speed things up. Awesome job with the build man. Thanks

    The wood grain pattens you call mountain peaks I believe there called cathedrals.

    I'm with book gnome on the glue and brads/staples but if you don't want to do that and like the screws you could just use a countersink but with an adjustable drill bit and set it for the depth you want. Also... If your plan is to batch these out then take the time to make jigs for the different sizes to make the glue ups easier on you. I dig the project tho man, good stuff

    New subscriber. Nice build. I'd probably rabbit the bottom of the frame (with a table saw or router) to inset thw bottom panel. Gives it just a bit more of a professional look.
  • Nice tray and video. Your glue up is fine. Have you considered splines on the corners after completed and stained? A contrasting spline will add strength and character. I did subscribe.

    Please share how you are selling and what price point. I see so many people claim to make $X / month but nothing to back up the statement. Are you selling these locally? Craftfairs? Etsy? Facebook Market Place? 100 @ $10? 50 @ $20? 25 @ $40? How many are you making each month to gain $1,000 in revenue?

    Hey, nice project. I hope you stain the back of it aswell...my inner perfectionist is screaming šŸ˜‚ For the corner glue ups i use a frame clamp. In my case its from Wolfcraft but you can take any other brand. It will speed up your glueing šŸ˜Š

    Nice build! Iā€™m wondering, is this used for shoes? Or just a general tray?
  • @williams8198
    What kind of plywood is that? Interesting look.thx
  • @lindacorvan5177
    Nice video, nice work. Back off on the music. Its not necessary.
  • @eldonbeyea393
    Perhaps a strap clamp might serve you better, I find mind easy nand accurate
  • @bobharlan9870
    Just curious, what is your cost and what are you selling these for, ballpark figure.. Not trying to be noisy.
