    thats ok its only my future Paul, please don't take my comment personally, it wasn't aimed at you. I have been interested in your posts because I think it's the aim for most of us part time woodworkers. It's just there a few too many procrastinators spouting doom and gloom because they're...

    You wouldn't attempt to compete with big manufacturers you would be looking for a niche which they don't cover too well. e.g. take IKEA designs (which is their strength)but make up-market versions (their stuff is tacky and cheap) Churlish to ask stupid questions and then take the p|ss out of...

    The reason i picked this figure is that i dont trust web shops that have a small range unless its something very specific. I have about 15 designs at the mo. some on a theme eg living room table similar to hall table to add continuity in the house, and some stand alone because not everyone wants...

    Sounds interesting - photos? A few local ads to start with, then word of mouth - until the internet kicked off then DIY website ever since.
