Do you want to make money with your woodworking skills but don't know how to get started. Have you started a woodworking business and are having problems getting customers? I know how that feels because I started my woodworking business with no capital, a few shop tools, and lots of nerve in a 10 foot by 20 foot space and grew it into a 1400 foot space as a one-person business. Having no one to help me get started, I made costly mistakes and learned enough from them to make my entire living from woodworking for more than 20 years. You can avoid those mistakes and start making money quickly with my book "Starting and Operating A Woodworking Business: How To Make Money With Your Skills." There is no need for you to suffer through those costly and painful mistakes when my book covers everything you need to know to start and operate a financially successful full or part-time woodworking business.
As a child, I spent my summers and weekends working with my dad building homes and buildings. I contracted my first home at age nineteen and built my own home by age twenty. For more than 30 years I have operated one-person businesses. Twelve years of my life were spent working for local government administering federally assisted housing programs.
Writing, Publishing and Consulting - My first publishing venture was Rehab Notes Library that published a monthly newsletter (Rehab Notes) with subscribers in all 50 states, Canada and England and included consulting and public speaking in cities across the country. I also wrote and published eight guidebooks on the subject of housing rehabilitation. Then I took advantage of my construction experience and started a handyman and woodworking business.
Over Twenty Years of Woodworking - For over twenty years, first in Tampa, Florida and then in Austin, Texas, I built hundreds of small and large projects for individuals, companies and government agencies. During those years I began writing books about my experiences.
Writing and Publishing - Now I write how-to books and publish those books and the books of others. I now have five titles published through Amazon Createspace, two that I wrote myself.
Computer Experience - My computer experience dates back well over ten years and began in response to poor technical support for our computer. I used home study to acquire A+ and MCSE Certifications.
I now live in Austin, Texas with my wife, Barbara Frances. We have three adult children and eight grandchildren.
