I once was mad because I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet.
"Anyhow I used to build certain things in my shop that sold quit well. Thought id start that again. No ones buying anything. Scrap that idea."
I think you're defeating yourself with that thought process. People are buying. It's the market that ya gotta find.
I'm a forced into retirement carpenter. On disability due to health reasons. I still make and sell woodworking items. They wouldn't sell if I did t work at getting my name out there. It wasn't that hard either. Word of mouth does wonders.
There are many outlets on the www to sell items,too. If I worked hard at it I could end up swamped, but I'm just not physically able to work full time/ OT.
Personally I think ya ought to just get busy making stuff while also looking at how to market it.
Mindif I ask what it is ya make? I may be able to help Ya find the market.
My brother recently moved from Wichita after living there for many years. He did woodworking as a hobby a d sold a lot of his items in Wichita.
