Woodworking

@worn2fade Oh.... the tool chest. Well, I started grad school and suddenly didn't have time for anything outside of school work.
Here are a couple of things I made recently:
I made two cutting boards that open up to reveal tools inside. One is made for cooking, and one is made for a picnic.


And lastly, I made this coffee table. The walnut top is 1.5" thick and tapers down to 5/8", and the bottom shelf is latticed leather. It's pinned with walnut dowels. The legs are maple with through-tenons that are wedged with walnut. I spent a lot of time getting that gentle curve on the table top just right.

Heres the last piece I finished, all hand tools and hand carved.

Alright guys, I’d like some advice with something.
My wife agreed to add a garage to our apartment for my wood working endeavors. With this, we’d have to pay an extra $150/month.
She did say that she’d like for this garage to pay for itself through the wood working, so my question is-
What do you guys think is a not-so-complicated thing I can build on a monthly basis that will pay for the $150/month? Even if I have to build a few of them. I’d be listing it on Facebook marketplace. I know different people are interested in different things, but as wood workers— what do you feel the average Joe gravitates towards?

Unfortunately, I’ve had to buy some too. I just can’t make it fast enough
