Are markets worth the amount of time spent making things and buying items needed to run a successful event? In this video I will go over my experience as a hobby CNC Woodworker with my first ever craft show market. Although I was focused on woodworking projects, I think there is some good information in here for other makers. Whether you are in it as a woodworking business or just as a hobbiest in the maker space. - - - ➡➡My Website: https://www.cncyalater.com/ ➡➡My Instagram: https://instagram.com/hamilton_dilbeck/ ➡➡My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hamiltondilbeck - - - (Amazon Affiliate Link) Rollo Lable Printer I Used For The Stickers: https://amzn.to/3Uf0wK9 - - - My Etsy For Digital Files: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheHamCrafted?ref=seller-platform-mcnav - - - I hope by the end of this video you can decide for yourself if markets are worth it to you or not. I made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot. Next time I think I will just bring 2-4 items in bulk with much more signage showing things off. - - - I go over how I set up my booth, the biggest pains and annoyances that comes with any market. We had an amazing day overall and I did over $2,000 in sales. I personally think that was great for my first time. - - - Let me know down in the comments below if you have done a market before and if it was profitable for you as well. - - - The CNC I use is a Onefinity Journeyman X-50 CNC Machine. Although I don't have any experience with the X-Carve or the Shapeoko, all of these projects that I show in the video can be made with my files, as they are just vectors that can be cut on any cnc machine. Check out my other videos on the channel that go over those projects as well as the others! - - - Plug & Play CNC Spindle Upgrade: ➡➡https://pwncnc.com/?ref=HD ➡➡Use coupon code "HAMILTON" for 5% OFF! --- 🔥Send Me Stickers🔥 Hamilton Dilbeck 525 Tribble Gap P.O.
