Who knew woodworking could be a fun and stimulating hobby as well as make you money at the same time? A lot of you may be thinking that’s a given, but even beginners and novice woodworkers can find a project someone may want to purchase.

We’re going to preface this article by saying projects that sell are often ones that have functionality. For example, a wine rack, or even a coffee table if you possess the skill and know-how.

One of our favorite woodworking projects that sell on this list is a wooden bath caddy! These things really turn a profit because they provide a service people like – convenience. Wooden items can be found in your kitchen, living room, bedroom and dining room, so why not in your bathroom as well? The bath caddy is also a smart plywood project idea. You can also use pallet wood pieces or leftover wood planks for this.

A bathtub caddy is used to hold all the items you like to accompany you in the bathtub. We are talking about things like a notebook, laptop (but be careful with this one), candles, a good novel or a snack!

A keyholder is also quite easy to create and surprisingly useful in a home. People misplace their keys and this wood project of yours could help with that. Your clients won’t be looking for their keys frantically when running late, because they will be hanging neatly on your customized key holder.

Woodworking projects like these are pretty easy to make. All you need is a block of wood and some hooks. It’s great that they can then be placed anywhere you want, wherever it’s convenient in your home. You can place one in your garage and one next to your door to help you remember where they are.
