re: Becoming a professional woodworking or not

Thanks for your suggestions Steve, I agree with the idea of a show room,but It may only possible with the folks that have a lot bigger budget to start off.The idea of making contacts in the community is good and may be good to start with but after you start building you may be in the shop 12-16 hours a day,so unless you have a partner or spouse that can be the business promoter in the public it may be tough to do.All said and done I think the best advertisement for you business are great finished products that customers love and tell others.
It may be others starting a WW business will be capitalized far better than I was, but when I started things were very tight financially.
