Welcome, welcome, welcome @BMKal ! I've always wanted to try woodworking as I'm very interested in house makeovers! Thank you for sharing this introduction with us. We're glad to have you on here!
Hi , wow you have your retirement planned , you won't get bored. What sort of things are you making?
Thanks. A bit of a variety so far. I do a lot with epoxy resin mixed with timber and sometimes other things. I have vacuum and pressure chambers set up in my shed for casting both clear and coloured resins without bubbles. I make a few pens, crochet hook sets, shoe horns, ice cream scoops, plus turn some bowls / platters all either from just timber or from timber / resin hybrid blanks that I mix and cast myself. Also some small jewellery boxes, and at the moment, heavy kitchen cutting boards and trivets.
I have sold a few. Most end up as gifts to family / friends / neighbours etc. But occasionally I make things to order for people I know. Have never set up a web page to list or sell what I make, and have only ever sold in a local market once to date.
Thanks. Once I have settled down and got back into it, I might try selling a few on line - though I have no idea how to set up a website / advertise etc. I have sold a few by posting pics on the Australian Landrover Owners' forum where I am a member and have met quite a few people on interstate trips and a couple of events. My working background was in mining, so I have never had any real experience in selling things.
Maybe ebay might be a good starting point, or Facebook market place. The pieces are too amazing not to sell and share
