Jim, that’s all I get is “Interesting” I have viewed your gallery and I think your works would be a welcomed addition to the web site. My site is young so I am working hard to help fellow woodworkers get their skills noticed. Also I need to start an Oregon page and I am always looking for good advice.

Thanks

Hey Joe
I wish you well with your web site but some very good folks here have made the same effort and hardly had any hits in over a year of being on line. So I found that you have your site coming up “Interesting” that your making an attempt at a similar task.

Good luck

Hey Joe,

there is a website out there that does this already.. It is called CustomMade.com we received 750,000 visitors last year and have packages starting at $180 for the ability to post information and at least 9 photos of custom pieces. We also have around 400 subscribers joined.

You are right, the market for custom furniture and custom woodworking is growing every day. We believe it will continue to grow and are dedicated to making sure it does!

Joe, good luck, competition is a good thing.

Joe,
Good luck!

Hello Joe,

I just went to the site and it looks good. If someone is making it work for them and charging, you should do very well with your free site. Free dominates the internet(think Google). I only wish my stuff were of a quality that it could be posted there and sell. Good Luck.

Hey thanks guys for the kind words, its been fun so far and I am starting to get some more traction. ToolCrib just wrote an article about the site and some of the subscribers are really promoting things. The hits for the month are way up.

Shawn, send some photos over of your things, it can’t hurt to try you and you have nothing to lose.

Hi Joe

Just looked at your sight and I think you did a great job on setting it up. There are people out there that want quality work and willing to pay for it. Best of luck.
