I never spent any time on etsy. So after I read your post, I looked at the woodworking stuff over there. Most of it is complete crap, but there is some nice stuff. But it's generally priced way too low for the amount of effort that has to go into it. And it's priced way too high for the casual etsy shopper.

Seems like to be successful on etsy, you need to find something easy and very fast to make that would sell in the under $50 range. But it has to look like it's hard to make, otherwise people will just do it themselves. And it has to be appealing.

Identifying that item is the tricky part.
