A tip for others who might be trying to sell these or other low-cost easy build wood projects.... offer to donate a dollar or two from each sale to your local animal shelter or better, dog rescue (I run a dog rescue so I'm biased lol). Rescues are always in need of financial help, and people like to help support rescues especially if they're getting something out of it. Just a thought...
-
Suggestion: selling them unfinished to crafters 😊
-
Nicely done. A mod is buy a big sheet of thin cork. Make yourself a circle cutter out of a piece of thin metal tube and cut out circles. Glue them to your coasters.
-
Awesome!! I was selling coasters in my area 🇨🇦 for $15... I sold 1 set over a period of 6 months lol
-
I paint entire landscapes on coasters, then coat them in resin. It takes me hours and hours per single coaster, and I've yet to try selling them. The idea of selling them is really scary though because its like im putting my soul into them. Going to try a craft show and hopefully if i wear a cute dress and look really approachable people will be willing to put their beverages on my master pieces lol

I bought an old kitchen table from a yard sale and use it as my stain table and it works great ! and who cares what it looks like.
-
I usually do not comment back to youtube videos but this one, if true, made sense in that it didn't look as though you were just attempting to make money on youtube. Simple and straight forward and no fancy machines. Will look forward to future videos.

Maybe your video is the thing I needed to see most in the last few days... I live in Brazil and I'm completely in debt without knowing how I'm going to get out of this situation, and what I have most at home is pine wood from some pallets, stein for protection and varnish. I'll be back in a few days to let you know if this worked here too.

You need to spray them with water before final sanding to raise the grain otherwise the grain will pop up when they set a wet drink on them.
-
Here is a trick, wet the wood with a little water, let dry! That will make the grain raise and after sanding smooth, one coat might finish them! ( instead of sanding it off! )
-
i've seen people get marble, granite or porcelain tiles and just stick either cork or those little clear feet you normally put on drawers underneath as well.
-
Good stuff. Sometimes people get too wrapped up in appearances. Yeah the scrap drywall "table" and the TP rolls don't look pretty. The inverted sander doesn't look pretty. But they get the job done and just further proves that you dont need a shop full of stuff to make things. Will he get rich selling these coasters? Of course not. But he moved that little chuck of 4x4 out of the shop... keep up the good, practical, work!
-
Wow. Gotta say, that wasn't the result I was expecting. Well done!
-
I saw Peech's video too. To date I've sold just over 200 sets of six coasters at $20/ set on my website.
-
Online sales = more eyes on your product local sales are always good but sketchy here in America 😂 never would I ever have someone come to my house to pick something up unless I know them well
-
Great video and I'm glad to see you made some sales. I guess it depends on the market where you are located because I tried selling similar coasters in my area and all I got for all my social media marketing was crickets chirping. No one was interested.
-
add a touch to it. get a laser engraver and also advertise custom coasters.
-
Spray-on poly works great for small projects

Man that was super simple, and I love simple. This my type of style man. You Rock bro, and I loved the video. Like you said “use what you got”!! My mom use to always tell me that.
