Think I found a nice little side hustle.

[Steve H]

Morning folks!
A few months ago I decided to see if I could start a little side venture making cutting boards and cook top covers. I've sold 6 boards so far. I think I found a good price point for one that is 1 1/4x12x16 for 60.00.

And I enjoy making them! I'm saving the profits for my next smoking venture....

Good on you. I have the equipment to make them but not the energy to do the work myself to make them. Retired and lazy these days.

nice, do you pre-oil them too?

Beautiful Steve!
I started my side venture 40 years ago when I had to get my lawn mower repaired. Yikes! Decided that I can do this, took classes at the local community college, and have been repairing small engines at a fair price ever since.

Looks good . I don't sell much stuff . Unless someone asks . I have a bank account that I put that money in if I do . I keep a running total of what I have in the project too .
You're set up pretty good now . That makes it more enjoyable .

Really cool and it looks like you really do nice work. I have tried to figure out various side hustles in the past but normally come back to different problems. Biggest is lack of free time these days, I am trying to spend more family time than I used to and at what point does an enjoyable hobby turn into work and loose it's luster. Still hoping someday I will trip into something

It is a nice looking board......

I agree with the comment about free time.

I am a wood turner and spent years selling pens. It paid for most of the tools in the shop, albeit a lot of used power equipment from auctions.

Selling pens was fine until I started getting production jobs from an insurance company for 16 pens at a time. After a couple of orders of making the same pen, using the same kit, and the same wood, I decided I wasn't cut out for production turning. My hats off to those who are.

I'm retired and more of a tinkerer these days.

Keep up the work. It does help provide some mad money.

[Steve H]

nice, do you pre-oil them too?

Yes. three coats of conditioner.
