Do you have a router, drill, and assorted bits?
I sell massively overpriced boxes I make from figured woods. They cost about 25 bucks to make, and I sell them for 60. They take maybe two hours to cut, glue, clamp, and finish.

The point is to make something simple that can be done for cheap and quickly, then sell it.

The available resources can be any you think seem fit.

try beaten up bicycles. Its really not that hard to replace a chain and a tire. My highest profit was something like 300$ on a used bike. Just make sure you dont buy a stolen bike and end up putting money and hours into something someone can just call dibbs on.

You really need to study demographics and the interest of people around the area you intend to sell. There's no point in manufacturing it if people are not into it. Also, the term "easily manufacture" is kinda broad. Things I can "easily do" might be hard for you. Tell us about the people around your place and we'll tell you how to make money from them. No matter how expert "sales-talker" you are if the people have no interest in it your product is dungoofed. So I repeat:

Tell us more about the people around your place

Similar to this picture in construction. Finger joints, because they're simple and sturdy. Currently, I'm using mostly lacewood because I found a dozen or so boards at a local place for cheap, as one side is like C-grade. I just put it poor side in and put patterned cloth over it.

Like what?
They're like the people you find in any average city.
I live in the desert in Mexico if that helps.

I think I shouldn't have used the word "manufacture" as that sounds like I'm going to start a company or something.
No, I just want to build neat things at home to sell.
I'm going to be advertising them on the internet.

Should've said that in the first place.

two words: religious shit. Crucifixes, candle holders, rosaries, anything that you can stick jesus, mary, or the local favorite saint will work just fine. the older folks will eat that shit up.

A scorer, a measuring tool, a jig, and a router. They're way easier than dovetails.
You can even get finger joint router bits, but I'm not quite that lazy.

dont have jig or router, how much is cost?

>> No.769616

>>769610
The jig you can make out of scrap wood. You can find explanations on Google really easy.
My router was ~400, but it was also a gift. You can get a second hand router and table for maybe 150 on Craigslist. A straight 1/4" or 3/8" bit will run you 20 bucks new, if that.

I homemake mead, it takes ~4lb of honey for a 3 gallon batch, 2x 2lb jugs of Market Pantry honey from target are <$5 + Lavlin EC1118 ~.40c + water (basically free).

Just buy the off brand honey, it's all the damn same if you don't plan on making high end shit.
