With the issue for the banks that backed Etsy as well as tiktok losing traction for its creators, have you seen an uptick or downtick on your etsy? Im curious just how viable it still is today
Comment from : @HTHALLGRIMSON

Hi Matt Interesting video but I have a question When you built something like the first table and chairs, how would you ship something like that? Maybe they were local pickups but I'm always thinking, how could that be profitable if you had to ship it across the country Thoughts? brbrThanks, brMattbrLopatcong, NJ

I know I've seen these on another video, but what are the books you recommend of course besides the Word ?

Comment from : @davidmurillo5540

What is it with women and pillows? 🤷br Probably make way more money making and selling pillows with goofy Facebook quotes on them than doing woodworking

I’m a single mother of ten and I was working as a medical assistant since 2016 right after I graduated tried my hand at RN school and that was a bust I have 10 kids and 7 at home got let go when COVID hit and been home ever since I’ve always wanted to work with wood and create things but was intimidated by the thought of having a miter saw or any other saw Well I just got my first kobalt dual bevel compound sliding saw and she is beautiful 😍 I’m gonna have so much fun making things and your videos helped me build the confidence to “ JUST START” I’ve watched so many of your videos and thought to myself I can do that… I’m excited to make some stuff and learn as I go thank you for the great years of info on YouTube keep the videos coming I’m gonna need them 😁

Comment from : @jefffuhr2393

Thank you! This was the video I needed! I’ve worked a dead end office job for 15 years and always wanted to work with my hands for a living, but was always afraid to take a risk leaving my comfort zone 6 months ago my father, a master carpenter and cabinetmaker of 50 years passed away I never had any formal training, but I was lucky enough to shadow him in his shop growing up (although he absolutely NEVER let me touch his tools lol) Last week I was laid off Now, at 38 years old, I decided now is the time to finally pursue what I’ve always wanted Luckily I received a decent severance package, and still have part time bartending job that’ll provide a safety net and buy more tools Super excited to start my new journey Love your channel God Bless!

I dont have time to take it slow and easy though 6 months ago I bought a sawmill, tools and a load of logs on credit and dove in head first, full time I saw my own logs and have a wood shop now My main job of 11 years - YT videos, stopped paying I have no idea why So I am a full time sawyer and wood worker now Would appreciate your prayers
Comment from : @TheDoItYourselfWorld

Comment from : @jebadaiah1228

Thanks Matt for the info and encouragement My spouse keeps telling me how woodworking won't work and your info gives me inspiration and confidence Thanks!
Comment from : @Matt-qg2nk

I'm thinking of starting up a DIY woodworking shop (for hobbyists and DIYer's) and charging monthly memberships since I have a huge shop on my acreage (which is very close to town), and lots of tools

@731woodworks do you offer the planner without any Christian rhetoric in it? I would greatly find the planner useful, but do not practice any religion thanks
Comment from : @tonyelliott5045

what did you sell those chairs for originally?

Comment from : @MattMeidenbauer

Are there any federal or state regulations that you had to abide by when selling consumer products that you made? From a manufacturing standpoint what's regulated
Comment from : @phoenixlive9480

First I love your videos, you have taught me so much I'm only a weekend Warrior woodworker, but love it! My garage only has a couple outlets and when the shop vac and saws are running the breakers pop You mentioned in one of your videos about a power strip with a breaker So you do not have to go to the breaker box all the time For the life of me I can not find that video Can you please tell me what the brand was or direct me to the video? Please and thank you

Comment from : @wfd805

Great video Thanks for sharing So many great tips I have some (quite a lot, far more than you've started with) tools a shop, some materials, etc From time to time I make things small presents), but I lack the courage of starting outbrto sell things What can I do about that?
Comment from : @hansdegroot8549

#6 really is important When I was a plumber, I would get big jobs that would require large parts purchases prior to beginning the project and more than once I had a commercial customer attempt to stiff the company on the bill We finally just made it policy that any job over $800 required a 50 down payment for materials at the time of scheduling and it pretty much stopped all the shady customers
Comment from : @liquidrockaquatics3900

just when i started to seriously thing about starting a similar buisness, this video pops up thank you for the tips! brmost of them i already figured out myself so this tells me im on the right track

I found your Woodworks 731 a few months ago and love your tutorials I retired in Dec and love woodworking I built your Farmhouse Breadboard coffee table for my son & daughter-in-law as a wedding gift They loved it I am currently building your computer desk with the trap door I also like your tool workshops I just got a request to build an Altar table for our church from our pastor That will be a challenge for sure Thank you for sharing your talents Keep them coming God Bless you my friend
Comment from : @robertalvarez8128

Thank you for this video It is greatly appreciated God bless
Comment from : @noelv1976

One thing I’d recommend as a person starts down this path, is to look into local and federal income tax brackets Know at what point your revenue demands you be filing that income stream brIn my situation, anything over and above $13k annually must be declared and taxes paid accordingly Anything below $13k… is basically money under the table
