Alright, I just got done editing this video. I think you're really going to enjoy it. We're going to go over today how you can price cutting boards. And then we're going to go over a couple different ways to do it. Number one, how to do a one-off cutting board. Number two, how to do batch cutting boards. And we're going to give you a couple different tips on how to batch projects like this or you can make the most profit. And your customers are going to be happy with your price, too. So here we go. Alright, here it's up. Got a lot of stuff going on this week. While I'm waiting on the comfortable to finish up, before we start sanding and finishing and doing the final assembly, I'm going to knock out really quick. A cutting board at a buddy from college reach out, found the channel, thought it was awesome and he messaged me wanting a new cutting board. He and his wife, they wanted it exactly this by that. So I will make detailed plans accordingly. But yeah, he wanted to keep it about a hundred bucks, maybe a little less. So I've got to keep this under one or two hours of labor. Otherwise it gets to be too expensive. I don't want to blow his budget. So I'm just going to rip up some strips of just different types of hardwood that I have just laying around. And we'll see what kind of design we can make. Alright, so the main thing about cutting boards with this is that you never really want to make one, right? Because this can be really hard to find a client unless they just really love your work that wants to only just buy one cutting board. The amount of time and energy it takes for you to make that one cutting board, you could probably make, I don't know, five or six cutting boards are really easy to batch out. And that's this week's business tip is when you have little things like this, it's good to just make two or three of them and then try to sell them later for a discount. So for I didn't do that on this one because my buddy just wanted it and I'm trying to get rid of scraps as much as possible before the move. But yeah, I would build like two or three because the amount of work that it, like the amount of time it takes to build like three or four. So like obviously if you're using scraps like it's negligible. But even if you had to pay for the wood, like this is maybe five, ten dollars worth of wood depending on like what species you use. So I would just make like four or five of these cutting boards and then ask people want them and approach you and want them. You can sell them to them, you know, at a discount or at the bulk price because it really only takes another like 20 minutes total to build three or four cutting boards instead of just building one. So your margins going to work out there. But again, I'll put up all the numbers for how much this one cost and how much I sold it for and all that fun business. But anyway, yeah, I'm super happy that my friend reached out to me and wanted this one. So this is the nicest cutting board I've made so far and I really like it. Jenny, Jenny and I do not want to let this one go. But anyway, it's super, it's been super exciting. But yeah, just focus on batching stuff out like when you're building multiples of something, especially little things. David Pichito is a really good video on how to price things using a day rate. And if you build five or six in a day, then you just divide your day rate into that number of projects. That's a really good formula if you're doing multiples of things if you're carrying up for a craft show or if you just have a lot of things that sell quickly. Another thing too is dimensions. Plan your dimensions according to how you get your lumber. So plan your projects or you have as little scrap left over as possible. And sometimes you have to make two or three of something before the dimensions work out to be just perfect of so many legs, so many aprons, so many everything else if it makes any sense at all. So play around with some of your best selling furniture pieces and see if you can't tweak the dimensions a little bit so you can squeeze two or three benches or tables or stools or cutting boards or coasters or whatever it is that you sell. See if you can't squeeze a few more out of maybe just one extra unit of wood. I hope that I hope this is making sense. This is something that we did when we did we pitched a restaurant a couple months back and one of the things that we planned was making benches out of two by sixes and we had it all calculated out how we were going to make each bench or each two so two benches out of two 12 foot long two by sixes and we like it was going to it was going to work out really well as far as dimensioning and figuring out exactly how much material we needed so it didn't overbind we didn't have a lot of waste left over this cutting board just looks so sick. I can't man I I hope that the camera is doing it justice but that purple heart and that walnut right next to each other man that's pretty absolutely seamless and it's really rich so this walnut is from a walnut stock that I bought when we were driving through the one of the bigger towns in the state and he had a lot of really really figured walnut and it was just be I mean just flames I've got a couple other pieces still left out there but this is a scrap piece so there's a lot of figure that I don't think the camera is picking up but there's a lot of depth to it which looks really nice and of course purple heart it's purple heart looks pretty and then cherry and I like I don't know I kind of like the design I design this I didn't like Jenny design it she brought it in a better better job but I kind of like the light going to dark and then back to light again I don't know looks kind of like racing stripes or something like that but yeah all in all it turned out really nice I'm hoping that he enjoys it he already saw the picture on Instagram so I know he's excited to see it and hope they get a lot of good use out of it
