I had more of a goal for 2018 : Build and sell one piece from the shed. Maybe a small chest, maybe a small table, whatever. Just one. And it doesn't have to be for very much - I paid about €250 for my last run to the timber yard, if I could sell a piece or two and make €200 I'd call that a success.
The idea is to get to the point where I could buy some nice timber, make a few things for friends and sell one or two other pieces to defray the cost of the timber. It is not supposed to be an income stream (not least because I already have a day job and taxes are so much fun). It’s just supposed to defray the cost of the hobby a bit is all.
And I did have a Shed Rule for 2018 that I'd like not to break:
Do Not do anything in the shed that has a deadline. Or, if there’s no way round that (like with solstice presents), have them done a month or more in advance, because seriously, pineapple deadlines right in the ear. They turn a fun hobby into a second job.
