What are some things I can make that I can sell for a profit? I see stuff like pic related and I'm sure I could make stuff like this but is there much of a market?

Blood and semen
How do I sell my own blood? I'm not sure how I feel about having 100 bastard children running around.
They won't buy your cum unless you're a smart model anyways
sell your plasma.
>How do I sell my own blood? I'm not sure how I feel about having 100 bastard children running around.
uhm thats not how reproduction works, donating or selling blood doesnt cause them to be your children. you fricking dumbass
Every person who has gotten a blood transfusion turns into the person whos blood is now in them
The scary part is that it is timeline retroactive, they'll ALWAYS be that person now, even in the time before they had the transfusion.
That’s pretty scary if you think about it
I was talking about the semen part of his post.
you should have specified that
if you couldn't parse that, you are moronic. its obvious to everyone else he was talking about semen. Dont call people dumbasses anymore, you've lost the privelege.
it was pretty obvious, he was asking about blood and clarified he's not interested in semen selling. you must be moronic
I built a livestock pen that slides in and out of a utility trailer easily from salvaged material on craigslist. I thought about taking some pictures and seeing if I can sell them to these micro-farm morons that you see on youtube. I use it for pigs but it would be great for any small livestock.
What is it about wood texture that looks so much worse than real wood? I can't figure out which aspect of that picture I find so unappealing.
What do you have to make things with and where will you sell them? If I had a booth in a shop, I could sell a lot of the small crap I just give away.
For instance, people like these tea-light candle holders I've been making out of a halved oak branch that's got some intense spalting. I shape them with a grinder, sand the edges smooth, bore a hole in them, then coat them with some spar. Super low effort and it seems like they'd sell in a shop but no one's going to come get them if I put them on FB nor am I going to bother for maybe $20.
Go to "antique" stores where women refinish shit with chalk paint and see what's popular. Make that and sell it.
I can't figure out your issue either, since that's actual pallet wood according to the pic.
That's weird, it looks fake to me. Now I'm even more confused.
its the leveled poly finish reflecting the light uniform. It looks like fake wood because it share its traits
It's not about 'a' market, there's multiple markets-
-people who just want a table
-people who want a rustic looking table
-people who want an eco friendly recycled table
-people who want a wooden table
-people who want that size table
-people who want that height table
... the problem is either attracting potential buyers in each one for volume or finding one where the revenues and production/ customer acquisition costs balance out best and avoiding one where they don't.
That is if you build things on speculation.
For small scale efforts that's usually extremely difficult/risky and doing things on commission or a semi-custom basis is a better way to go.
Furniture can be pretty lucrative but theres a lot of competition both from cheap factories and established pros with lots of skills and resources...one area that is less that way is doing built in furniture, a lot of people don't want to do stuff in the field or think of themselves as artistes and think it's beneath them.
this anon is smart.
Outside of this, you'd have to massively increase your manufacturing skill and capability, design a unique product, and market it online.
Is that table saw burn mark? Like why would you face that to the outside, what the frick.
thats the problem you have? the whole topside is littered with stained sawmarks because he didnt bother surfacing or proper sanding
it's called a rough sawn look/texture (or resawed) and whether you like it or not people seek it out and sometimes even add it to surfaced lumber to give it a rustic look that was the norm in certain eras and contexts, when smooth surfacing was done by hand and labor intensive. It's also clearly not from a table saw.
" The Rough Sawn material SWC supplies is often referred to as “Resawn” or “Band Sawn”. This is because the timbers are cut on a large band saw and have a uniform “fuzzy” finish. Our Rough Sawn material does not have the prominent, circular mill marks associated with large circular saws of older saw mills. S4S material, or “smooth on four sides” is the planed or smooth finish most individuals are familiar with as used for dimensioned lumber. It is common for many customers to select Rough Sawn finishes for exterior installations and S4S finishes for interior work, but surface finish is purely a matter of preference."

>a rustic look that was the norm in certain eras and contexts
at no fricking time in history rough sawn was "the norm" for SHOWSIDES on furniture.
Did you ever hold a tool in your hand? you'd know it only takes a couple minutes to clean up such a surface. Surface finish is not labor intensive compared to dimensioning at all, but it certainly elevated the look and is required for almost all traditional finishes.
Thats why none of the 20 up to 200 year old (farmer furniture) antiques in my house have that "rustic look in certain eras"
>people seek it out
headcanon for artsy moms, like chalkpaint
>AND CONTEXTS
moron
Probably tables like this. For some reason Americans love cheap wood that has been stained and poly coated to look like old hardwood. Live laugh love stuff may work if you can come up with an original idea and market it. Niche things like wooden cat furniture or whatever does pretty well. A smallish tree branch (free) footed in concrete with some plywood platforms attached goes for $150+
Exactly as you post, “rough sawn look” should not have marks from a circular saw, because that’s just stupid. Really old quick made carpenter stuff has straight saw marks because they used big hand saw but this is just stupid. Same for people who hammer screws sideways into wood before staining to create a more worn look. Does well on Craigslist but it looks just moronic.
>marks from a circular saw
The marks on that table are not from a circular saw, they are from the lumber being resawn on a bandsaw.
The ones on the top sure, but the dark ones on the side really look like table saw marks to me
Custom sex furniture. You will need to live in a city and hang out at weird clubs but there is big money in it.
Can confirm. If you can do basic leather- and/or metalwork too, you can command insane amounts of money for furniture with custom restraining fittings. All you really need is one way in to the milieu. I have a buddy who is a bisexual sadist, while drinking he asked if I would build a stockade, I did, he used it on his frick buddies and through word of mouth I got all the publicity I'd ever need.
Orders are usually few and far between. But if you can make a quality product, a weeks work can be a months pay and you'll get repeat customers.
If you're doing normal stuff too, you might want to have a seperate brand for the fetish stuff. Also, literally have a logo brand and put it somewhere unseen, that sort of detail with a real burned mark both denotes quality and make some of them horny. Speaking of horny, don't trade sex for woodwork. It'll come up eventually but it is not worth it and if you're vanilla/normal in bed it'll damage your word of mouth.
It would beat making wooden cutout geese for county fairs.
you could make your picrel. or decorative shelves with a pattern cut out, like a heart or something. american flag decorative hangings cut from scrap metal or scrap wood are popular in my area. make use of pallets for rustic looking shit, make use of roadside found furniture to refinish. choose your paint from the oopsie bin at home depot / lowes. you could weld random metal shit together to make "art". get your metal scrap by making friends with a local mechanic. some people like abstract, some whimsical. if you have the equipment you could make stickers or patches for a niche market, like /b/ or /k/ or /misc/. also look on etsy / insta / tiktok for a million art and craft ideas that sell.
Go to some vintage shops. People are selling some of the silliest fake old stuff you can imagine. It seems that the rougher the build, the better it sells and the prices are crazy. Seriously, Vintage shops.
Pallet wood and barn wood are the rage nowadays.
1- Buy any used mirror
2- Build a barn wood frame around it
3- Sell it $200
just build that you could use or would give as a gift for yourself or as gifts, then post them for sale. if people like it, then you make money, if they don't you won't be accumulating shit.
also take on commissions (craigslist seems to be decent), but be prepared to deal with b***hy customers. after a while you'll pick up on generic designs for shit that's in seasonal/periodic demand if you want to make a quick buck.
if you like that enough you can spin that into a business that sucks the soul out of your hobby instead of being able to have fun with it and make some money from it.
