This isn't a cutting board video, it's a business excellence video. The concepts provided here translate to any business. As a veteran financial advisor and hobby woodworker, there are bits from this video that I will apply to my full time practice as well as my woodshop. Thanks for your sage wisdom. Learning is a lifetime endeavor and nobody has a monopoly on good ideas.

[busomite]

Basically a free Master Class on making a cutting board business. Thank you!

[birdbandit]

Just echoing another commenter.... This was truly a master class in starting a cutting board business. I'm 1 year in and everything you said is spot on. 8 learned so much. Thank you for taking the time to create this content.

[fonslibert]

Excellent video, learned a lot from it to help me get started selling custom cutting boards here in Belgium. Thank you!

[bougie]

I quitted my job to start my fulltime woodworking and what you said in the video is so comprehensive. These are exactly what I've learned but can't think of any better explanation. Thank you for sharing these. Great inspiration.
Thank you,

6:16 double the size may end in 2.8 times material costs (as thickness is increasing, too) and material cost is increasing to $84. Profit will then only $51 or 37% profit margin.

Good point about raising your prices. A friend who owns his own business once told me, if you're too busy, you're too cheap

Dang brother you covered so much in so little time. This was a great video. Been in business for 35 years (different business) but your advice is really good. It’s a lot of information to take in for a person that has never run a business before. With that said, I would consider a follow up video or even a series to this video. You obviously know what you are doing and I’m sure your knowledge will be in high demand. Thanks for the video.

I totally was winging my first vendor fair locally. Sold over 600$ - on only 5 items.. blew my mind.

[RonaldBeard-bm]

I’m just starting my business. This video is excellent! Thank you so much.

[Rabauke.]

Thank you so much for this great video. I have seen a lot of videos regarding woodworking and also the business behind it, or so called how to videos. But yours has been by far the best one. Content, footage and of course your craftsmanship. Awesome. Best regards from Germany

Good points covered here. I sell all my boards through social media. TikTok has drawn a lot of attention and customers to my work. My boards are very time consuming but I'm not looking to be compensated for time as this is a weekend hobby for me. I'm selling due to WOW factor and have a waiting list rather than inventory.

I've made dozens of boards over the years but never sold any of them. They were all as gifts. BTW, Marc did a video on the best finish for cutting boards and it turned out to be pure tung oil. Mineral oil was rated at the bottom. That was interesting to learn.

[DrinksWithCody]

Can you make money selling cutting boards? Sure but the main reason is it's extremely oversaturated by makers and large corporations. Home Depot is selling walnut end grain boards for $40. In my opinion, the shark is beyond jumped. Make them for gifts and to use scraps but don't form a business strategy around it.

[TedAlexander]

I’ve seen a lot of those IG posts. Definitely made you synonymous with the term expert cutting board maker.

[artemtanchenko]

it's a great common video about any business! Awesome motivation to apply all of these advices! Enjoyed by watch this and will be happy to share with others as a guide.

[proudcanadianeh]

This is unbelievable!!! I am so happy I found your channel!!! This was better than my stupid seriously wow thank you. Amazing channel, subbed!

[biscuittreewoodworks]

Great tips! I used to do well on Etsy, but like you said, the competition has gotten to be too much. I'm focused on content now instead of selling products.

Good afternoon from a sunny South-Africa. About a year ago, I strated selling cutting boards at our church for a market day. I had wooden cutting boards, but I also had a lot of Solid surface boards. From there it just took off. I have now, a year later, never looked back. I have a lot of Solid surface boards. Far far more than the wood. I have actually stopped making wooden ones. That also gave me an added edge at the markets, because there is no one else that is selling it. But, like you said. Markets is a difficult place to sell your product. I have teen told to go the on line route. Thank you for confirming it.
