Are you trying to turn your hobby of building cutting boards into a business? Here are 5 tips to help you make more money selling cutting boards. Being a small business owner is hard as a one man shop, but if you can manage your expenses and raise your sales prices it can be a nice side hustle or full time gig.

Out of all the videos on YouTube that are about sales, selling-techniques etc.; this is by far the most straightforward and honest video I've ever found! I really appreciate that!

20 years into woodworking and now I am being bombarded into making cutting boards. I made cutting boards one time and now everybody wants one. My mom has a big mouth....loll! excellent video Brad!

[KrisDeVo]

Great video explaining the ins and outs of what it takes to start selling cutting boards. Totally agree with etsy being the wrong place to start selling your work. It is so over saturated that it would be a brutal place to start. I have 2 friends here locally that that do really well selling cutting boards to the local market. Word of mouth, friends and family and local venues work great for them. I really appreciate the shout-out buddy!

In the late 70's I turned a hobby into a business, video production. By the early 90's I was working two full time jobs, had employees, and no longer enjoyed video production. I sold the business to my employees. I stayed at my original profession and retired. Now have been a woodworker for many years. Great info and I enjoyed your video. All your points are valid and true. Keep up the videos and good luck in your career.

I made an enormous end-grain hard maple board, for my wife. It was designed to use to serve roast beef at dinner parties, but she normally uses it for kneeding dough for noodles or bread, covering one end of the kitchen table.

Thank you so much for including cost of labor. I see so many videos where they just deduct the cost of their materials from the sale price and say that's their profit. Your time, as a craftsman is worth money too.

Pretty much spot on. I started making cutting boards when the pandemic began. Just a way to make money while my work was closed. $5000 in tools and 15 months later I am back at my regular job and constantly have orders coming in as well. It's tough as a one man operation and having a real full time job too. But you can make decent side money at it and if your boards are quality then business will come mostly by word of mouth

Everything you said is everything I've gone through the last 5 years! This year is my year of actually making money after moving to a bigger shop and having enough space for the tools I need. Also making 2 boards at a time instead of just one because somebody always wants a copy 😁

Thank you very much for this video.
Your open and honest manner is just great.
You talk openly about your own business model and encourage others to give their woodwork a try. Thank you for all of these tips and suggestions. Please keep it up.
Best regards from Hamburg, Germany

I’m starting woodworking as hobby/side hustle and I started with wood coasters, I’m working on doing cutting boards, serving boards etc… these were great tips to consider planning on using my basement and converting it to a home shop!!

[chriswindberg]

I have not made/sold a cutting board yet but selling the custom board care products is genius! Love the channel Brad, keep it up!

[RLLWoodworks]

I feel like I have a degree in cutting board sales now! Great video Brad. Also timely since I sold my first couple boards this year so this is helpful. Definitely a lot of fun to make and sell.

[danhgilmore]

I love that you laid out how to batch out products, I think that’s something a lot of folks miss out on.

[jojohehe]

Legend for shouting out Kris Devo. Great channel and he seems like just a super nice person.

[craigcalder]

This is an amazing video. I echo Krisof's earlier feedback and want to add that I think all aspriring-entrepreneurs should watch this because cutting boards represent anything you could consider selling that involves creation of a physical object, especially handmade. I plan to show it to my daughter as one of those parent-kid life lessons on how business works....Thank you for the hard work you obviously put into creating it. Well done.

[adiringer]

Well done, you addressed the key issues and explained them clearly, thanks. And I love Kris Devo's videos!!

[rickfrauton]

Love your energy! I couldn’t stop watching ‘til the end because there were not dry spots. Nice job. Great tips. Many thanks!

[joefazzari]

Everything about this video was fantastic. I think the concepts can be applied to any home business and they were very well explained. Thank you.

[dannyh.]

Great video, Brad! Though I really enjoy the regular videos, I really dig this style of content that teaches the more business aspect of woodworking.

[victoriarodriguez]

This is most definitely the best and most informative video I have ever come across. Not just with cutting boards but with information in general on selling your products!!
