hello and welcome to the village

welcome to the Village.

Congrats, now get to making sawdust

I now use small address labels that matches my business cards. As well as signing and dating each project. On my intarsia I also write what woods I used. all this is on the back. If its to small for the label I sign it somewhere where its not easily seen. An artist always signs his work.

Hello and welcome to the village from NW Ohio

I sell almost everything I make, give some away as gifts. This by no means is a full source of income for me(already have a full time job). What I sell supports my hobby, IE. buying tools, lumber, supplies, patterns. It started with people(friends and family mainly) seeing my work and wanting one. It just spread from there. Word of mouth is the best advertisement. I don't do shows only sell by word of mouth, but have several repeat customers. I do have an online album and now facebook page dedicated to my crafts. I charge by the minute,( just how I keep track when working on something) friends tell me its to cheap but it supports my addiction . plus I add in wood cost and supplies. No matter what you charge it will be to much for some people. If you want to start selling get your name out there, give a few things away. Start the word of mouth. I do make money from my woodworking but it is still a hobby, If I don't feel like working in my shop I don't. When someone places an order I give them a time frame where I don't have to rush to get it done and can work on it when I want. If they don't like it I don't make it or charge them more. I let them know this a my hobby not my job. Most of my "customers" are co workers and friends, the rest have been sent to me by them. I don't make many toys I mostly make and sell intarsia, scrollings and pens(and other turnings)

they all look awesome.

awesome cutting. that piece of wood really adds to the finished project. well done.
