Revealed 5 Simple Ways To Make Money Woodworking

If you have a flair for making things using wood, then you can really make a career in WOODWORKING . Wood is a wonderful thing to work with, and if you can use it to create things that people want then you’ve got a great chance of building a good business.Here,I would be discussing 5 cool ways you can make money woodworking and they are as follows.
Focus On A NicheThe key to getting started is to find out what you are good at. It is important for you to find your own unique selling point to differentiate yourself from the competition. You can begin by doing what you feel capable and comfortable with.
Determine Your CustomersIt is important for you to determine who your customers will be. You might decide only to make items for a certain age group or for a certain use. If you are into school furniture then you know your customer base would be made up mainly of school owners.
Have An Online PresenceThe importance of having an online presence is often underestimated. You should create a website and upload samples or photographs of previous work done for people to see as this would assure them that you are capable. It is also a smart way of getting additional customers as people can find out about your business by doing a search online and would be redirected to your site or they can be referred by satisfied customers to your website.
Advertise! Advertise!! Advertise!!!If you create a product or have a specialty and no one knows about it then how do you expect to make money from it? You can advertise by placing adverts in the local media like T.V, Newspapers and Magazines related to your niche or you can advertise using online means like Media Buys or on Social Networking sites. This will get your art, crafts or furniture to a larger audience. You can also create brochures or fliers which you can give away at supermarkets, grocery stores, restaurants, bus-stands e.t.c
Attend Local Craft Fairs And Trade ShowsAs a serious woodworker looking to increase your portfolio, you should endeavour to attend trade shows, craft fairs, and other events related to your product. Craft fairs all over the country are often populated by people who put their woodworking skills to good use, and it is an opportunity to attract more customers by giving away leaflets, business cards or pamphlets and also to showcase your products.
You really can make a lot of money by carving out a new career in woodworking as the possibilities are endless and your skill level doesn’t matter.

Simple Stuffed Peaches

If youre anything like me, you start craving juicy summer fruit way before summer arrives and before perfectly ripe fruit hits the farmers market or grocery store.  When those cravings hit, I love to make these stuffed peaches because cooking less than ripe fruit in the oven brings out the flavor.  These are so simple and inexpensive to make with so few ingredients but taste like pure heaven. 
Lets get started, shall we?  First, butter the bottom of a baking dish and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Take 3 peaches (more if you like), cut them in half and remove the pit.  I used white flesh peaches here because they are my favorite.  Then scoop out some of the flesh to make room for the cookies.  We use Biscoff cookies in this because I think the taste is amazing paired with the peaches.  Take 7 or 8 cookies, put them in a ziploc bag and smash them up.  You could also use a food processor but I think its easier, with less to clean, to mash them in a bag.
Spoon the cookie crumbs into the peaches.  Its okay if some spills over. 
Sprinkle about a teaspoon of brown sugar over the top of the crumbs.  This caramelizes the top a bit.
Then dot the tops with bits of unsalted butter.  Pop them in the oven and bake for about 15 or 20 minutes depending on the size of your peach.   While youre waiting, whip up some fresh vanilla cream. (1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 2 TBS powdered sugar.)
And thats it.  While the peaches are still warm, dollop the fresh cream over the top and watch it melt into the sweet, buttery caramelized crust on top of the peaches....
It is heavenly.......
Over the top delicious.....
Youre welcome.  :)

BEACH SHELLS A BIRTHDAY what you can do with simple shells

We saw some rose shaped necklace charms made of
 shells in a shop while on vacation in Florida.
So I decided to make my own and share it with you.
Both George and I love collecting the beach shells
 when we walk the gulf shoreline. 
Once we get home I use the collection to make
 something to remind us of each years adventures.
These are some of our treasured finds this year.
I will show you how to take this pile,
and create one of these beautiful roses.
Instructions can be found here <----
Now on to my 40th birthday today
 and at dinner tonight I
 will be giving each my sister, mother, and my
 daughter one of my necklace creations.
  Cross your fingers they will enjoy receiving them
as much as I enjoyed creating them.
