Woodworking is a great art and hobby that you can quickly turn into business. You need to know that different woodwork projects will have different markets. For instance, if you’re making toys, then your target market should be parents who have young children. You would be greatly misplaced if you make the toys in an area where the larger population that exists is the middle aged and the old aged people. You would also not make much money by making garden benches in an area where people hardly have gardens in their compound. With this in mind, it’s imperative that you find the niches that will actually produce good income. Here are a few projects sure to bring in a good amount of profit.
Toys
Toys are simple projects that will not demand a lot of resources. With the simple hand tools you probably already have, you can comfortably make good toys. The other good news is that you can begin the project right from your garage without having to rent out a full shop. Toy projects won’t take up too much space, and thus you will be able to comfortably work from a small area. You can never go wrong with toy projects, particularly if you are in or targeting an urban area full of families and children.
Furniture
Take a brief survey of most homes that you get to. Did you notice that a large portion of their furniture is crafted from wood? From the coffee table to the seats, you will realize that many people love their wood furniture. The reasons for the wide preference for wood are many, but one that stands out is that it is relatively inexpensive. With this in mind, as a woodworker, you need to do your research, find out what kinds of furniture are in high demand, and make that your niche.
Fences
Many people have wooden fences. It gives the home a more natural look and it is pretty easy to set up. Fences also provide a form of security, so you’ll always find people who need their fence repaired or want one built.
