Donnie Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 It has been a lean year financially. I told the wife a few days ago, that I wished I could sell a piece of ironwork before Christmas. It's Saturday night. The phone rings. A previous customer request a knife and sheath to give as a gift on Monday. I explain I don't have the time as I will be busy all day on Sunday. They are not deterred. I quoted a price that should have turned them away. About an hour later the price in full is delivered to my door. Guess who will not be in bed asleep Sunday night. Be careful what you ask for. You might get it!:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 I prefer the latter. I finished the handle and attached it at 2:30 this morning. I made the sheath today. The package has been delivered and the recipient seemed well pleased. It has been a good day. I like having a hobby that pays for itself. I hate feeling rushed. But, as they say,"Beggars can't be choosers".:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rstegman Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Woodworking is my hobby, Metal working is just an interest. My woodworking sales pay almost to the penny for tools and materials used over the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
