About Sawdust Sidekick
Sawdust Sidekick is an independent resource for people who enjoy woodworking and want to explore selling their projects. We focus on practical decisions such as what to build, how to price it, and where to find buyers. We do not claim to have personally tested every product we discuss.
How we put guides together
We focus on specific decisions a woodworker faces when trying to sell a project. Our examples are illustrations, not promises of sales or income. When we discuss a product, we distinguish the seller’s description from independent testing.
Corrections and updates
Product terms and platform policies can change. Check the original provider for current details. We review our guidance when new information becomes available.
How we research woodworking business questions
We compare current guides from woodworking and commerce publishers with the questions makers ask in public discussions. The recurring questions are practical: what to build, what price covers the work, which sales channel fits a bulky item, and how to handle shipping or custom orders. These discussions show real concerns, but they do not measure the size of the market or predict sales.
Our examples are clearly labeled illustrations. We do not claim to have made or sold the products shown, and we have not purchased or tested WoodProfits. When we discuss WoodProfits pricing or contents, we identify merchant information as such and encourage checking the current checkout.
Useful reference points include Shopify's 2026 project overview, Woodcraft's project guide, and woodworker discussion of selling channels.
