No leads, no sales #1: In the beginning

1618 days ago by closetguy | 2 comments »

I guess seven years as a full time woodworker qualifies me to have an intelligent opinion on the subject. Some of the blogs I’ve written, along with the occasional forum comment, have generated quite a few private emails from members asking specific questions about starting a business or looking for ideas to market their projects. I can certainly feel for all those searching for these answers because seven years ago I was in the same situation. I was clueless. I wanted to do this, but I c...

1618 days ago by Tim & Candy Hicks | 0 comments »

Since early fall we have been swamped in the shop and still have not gotten caught up from Christmas. Our inventory is depeleted and we are trying to get items instock as well as work on a few custom orders. Here is a rough form piece of juniper that we will make into a coffee table that will have a rock slab for a top. Once this is finished it will be shipped to Norway.

"Hobbit Holes in MyWorld" --by RusticWoodArt #47: Occulation of the Wood

1618 days ago by frank | 4 comments »

Occulation of the Wood ....what is this shadow that transverses your mind, when you look at wood? One table top of rock maple that I am presently working on and hope to have done by the end of March. Many of the details as to how and what I am going after have not yet been fully worked out//worked in, but that’s only a matter of time as I listen to what the wood would say to me. ....and…. Things not known at this point: 1.)—no-name…. 2.)&#...

"Hobbit Holes in MyWorld" --by RusticWoodArt #45: Controversy and Knots

1624 days ago by frank | 7 comments »

Controversy and Knots ....i love the controversy that comes from working the wood, i love the controversy of knotted knotty knots, picking up pen and paper i stir some words that cut like wood, soon i realize that words and wood and knots are all what it’s about…. ....controversy ‘just is’ the sweet smelling aroma that describes my knots, and so i throw out some descriptive words by telling tales of knots, ...

Mirrors from my Website blog #6: A Lesson in Business From an 11-year-old

1624 days ago by Texasgaloot | 8 comments »

I’m trying to keep it all in the family, and it seems to make sense, at least to a degree. You see, in an effort to take a part of my woodworking business to the internet, I decided to pick up a pen turning lathe, a bunch of kits, and some padauk and rosewood. Good start, then I could get a feel for it, and perhaps hone my business skills. I shared all this great thinking with my bride, who thought it was great thinking and was therefore intrigued by the whole idea. Little did I know… ...

Hey guys, It has been almost a year, and what a year!!!. We moved locations, hired more people, and tripled business. No wonder I haven’t had time to update my stuff.

well I’m sure that many off you have had problems with your table saw fence before. and i have been having a lot of problems with mine so i decided to head to Lowes and purchase a delta T-2 table saw fence. i had to go to 3 of them before i actually found it. and it is a big box. it is a pretty beefy fence. so first i started by removing my old table saw fence and my router table. just to make the installation a bit easier. then i attached the rails to the table saw. lucki...
