What to Make With 2x2 Lumber

Күн бұрын

This is my personal Top 5 of things I like to make and sell on the marketplace, from 2x2s that I rip myself from 2x6s. 2x2s can make lots of furniture, for indoor or outdoor. I use it to make tables, chairs, benches, shoe racks and much more. Enjoy the furniture ideas and I hope it inspires you to make more furniture from 2x2s for yourself or to sell on the marketplace!

That mountain of sawdust at the end was amazing. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Im glad I can share it, thanks for watching! That pile was so dense, surprised me when I shovelled it away.

Those are some great ideas. I love the shoe rack. I may give that a try. You're very fortunate to have a market for your items in your area. It's not easy in some places. I make bird and squirrel feeders and FB was a bust for me in my area. I went to Etsy and have done very well. But even Etsy isn't for everyone. If you want to make money selling what you make, whatever it is you make, you have to do some research so that you know what and where to sell.

I'm definitely lucky to have found my niche which seems to be older ladies on the marketplace wanting plant tables and people in general wanting benches. That's my main things. I tried making cat houses and other animal products and wasn't successful. I'm sure you're doing it well if you're doing well on etsy though, that's serious competition! Thanks for the support

Have you made the video where you make stuff from the 3/4 inch leftovers yet?

@Mat_Builds 12 күн бұрын

Thanks for asking! imgur.com/a/ATywliF Here's the wood still there, and my shop, in not so shop condition. I've sold my house, and bought a new house with a very nice indoor shop area that i'll share on youtube transforming it into my new shop! I'm moving there early July, the last videos were videos I prepared before the final visits and inspection, and top 5 / photography video from old footage that I put together. Today is the day it's finalized , no more visits, so i'll definitely put up a temporary shop area in the garage to get some stutf done in June. Thanks for the support!

What do you charge typically for each of these builds?

@Mat_Builds Ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for watching! The green table, ive been charging 40-50CAD, some I make taller. The bench I sell for 60 CAD The small plant table I sell anywhere from 30-50 depending on materials, I save some oak pallet planks to make more on those Same for the last 2 items, shoe rack and cube table, it really depends on what wood I use for the shelves / top. 40 to 60-70+ if it's maple or oak, I've gotten alot more too. I try to save the nicer pallet planks for tops / shelves. Most of the stuff I sell that is not in sets is under 100$, but usually costs me nothing to very little in materials.
