BUSINESS KIT: Starting A Profitable Woodcraft Business: Over 10,000 Books Sold. Revised Edition.

The big question I always got as the National Director of DIrect Marketing at Shopsmith (1978-84) was "Can I make money building and selling woodcraft projects?" My answer was always -- "There is a process to follow we call the "Four P's and if you study them and religiously follow them there is no reason why you cannot be successful." The quickest way to make money selling wooden projects is to learn how to use a band saw, jig saw, and scroll saw. You can make just about any wooden craft project on these tools.UPDATE - Benjamin Jones' original "Business Kit: Starting a Profitable Woodcraft Business" is a book designed to help aspiring and experienced woodworkers transition from hobbyists to successful entrepreneurs.
