Why is This Worth So Much $$$$?

I browse the “wrong color” paint section at the hardware store and usually find a color that I can live with for a couple dollars.

I had to shake my head to make sure I wasn't dreaming when I saw how much these holders are selling for ! I'm going to make one just for the hell of it. Good job and good video also!

I made one last year, with the back board in the shape of a house and used a drawer pull to create the lip off of the bottom plate. I didn't use a full-width board for the back, just a 3" wide piece with a single hinge mortised in so it lays flat. I managed to use a low-profile screwdriver to tighten down the hinge screws on the back. My wife loves it and now I can tell her I've saved over a hundred bucks that I can put toward shop tools/supplies/wood. 😀

I made mine in a viking chair style. Not only adjustable for book size, but flat packs if you want to put it away.

Another fun project. Thanks for the video, I love all the ideas and your implementation.

Learned something with the hole for the hinge screw. Thanks a lot.

Great idea and great little project thanks for sharing

The really unbelievable part of this is that someone will actually pay that much for one of these. Bill

Find more projects like this that you can make for a low cost and sell them for lower than the store sells them for could be a good small business. Most of the time buying at the store is less expensive but not always. Keep making and stay awesome.

Love it, that is so the world we love in!!!!!

Hi, thanks for sharing, and in particular, your reasoning for scaling the product. When I've produced kitchen items like yours I've used a wax finish on top of the paint finish (a great wipable surface for those "happy" accidents. Thanks again for your common sense approach.

Um produto fácil de ser feito e muito bonito, vou copiar a sua ideia . Muito obrigado, felicidades

Cool project.

An example of this type of pricing is a place that sells furniture named (sounds like may dare). They sell blanket ladders for up to $200 that I can build for under $20. Maybe I need to get into the blanket ladder business.

Brilliant work, Billy! It turned out beautiful! 😃 Either way, I started to cook a while back and I'm really liking it. I've been getting recipes from the internet, copying to the Word (on my smartphone) and saving as PDF. But it's not exactly easy to read them on the smartphone... So I'm thinking about a tablet, some kind of reader for books as well... I don't know... The issue is needing another SIM card and so on... 🙄 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Great project. Love how yours turned out. Very good project to try for a weekend. Oddly similar skills and operations to building a bench hook. I am never surprised to see markup. A couple decades ago I took Math for Business as a requirement. There are products that sell with narrow margins. Then there are many items that have 1,000% markups and they are not uncommon. Stuff with markups in the three thousands up are all over. Unit volume helps with this happen even more easily. If we didn’t have crazy markup companies can’t make money to pay for the crazy things like shipping, truck payments, insurance, paying truck operators, people who design products, and many more.

LOL I was actually getting ready to make some of these.

Nice little project billy think u need do more these be good to aee what u come out with. A saw Matthew peech did vidoe recently and showed the price these aswell its insane. May have to one with a dark elm inset! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

I like your channel because its not full of crap.

I need a little light over the top of mine. I like to cook in complete darkness.
