I am not interested in making money with my woodworking because I'm afraid that would take out most of the fun. Also, as long as it takes from project start to completion, I would starve.
With that said, most of the time in making a wood projects for me is consumed by making jigs/templates, retooling, and endless test cuts. It seems silly to do all this work for just one project. I've been entertaining the thought of making at least one duplicate and selling it to cover the material cost for the one I keep and the one that gets sold. It could be a great way to fill up my house with furniture for "free" and maybe buy some more tools.
Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on pricing projects and advertising?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
