Hi all,
Want to take just a minute and introduce myself. I've been in the construction industry from the "ground up" so to speak, for over 30 years. My lifelong dream is to build highend custom furniture and antique reproductions of the same caliber as those featured in woodworking mags we've all come to know and love and actually be able to earn money enough to support myself and my lovely wife of 28 yrs. with the pieces that I build. I'm 55 yrs old and God willing have 20 to 25 yrs of productive life ahead of me. Any ideas on how to get started, how to make it profitable and stable without being independently wealthy or spending $100,000.00+ and 3-4 years of my life at the Rochester School of Design? Some of you may be doing what I'm dreaming about. I'd appreciate your comments and suggestions. Thanks,
Derek
