A guide to turning home woodworking into a small paying side business

Is it worth it?
You've got a garage, a few tools, and you've made the odd thing for the house that people said you should sell. Money's tight, or you just want something that's yours, and you keep wondering whether the stuff you make could actually bring in a few hundred a month. That's who this is for. WoodProfits is Jim Morgan's guide to the business side of woodworking. His argument, and it's a fair one, is that most hobbyists can already build fine, they just have no idea who'd pay for it or what to charge. So the book is mostly about product selection, pricing and finding customers, not joinery technique. If you want to learn to cut a dovetail, look elsewhere. Be clear-eyed about the headline. The page says he made over $150,800 in his first year and talks about starting in seven days with no capital. That's his account of his own results from 1994, not a typical outcome, and there's nothing on the page backing it up. Treat it as one person's story. What's genuinely useful is the practical grounding: what actually sells, how to price so you're not working for nothing, where the local demand is. If that's the gap you're stuck in, it's a cheap way to close it. If you're expecting a full-time income by next month, it won't do that.
Pros
- Focuses on the bit hobbyists actually lack: selling
- Low startup advice, no demand for expensive machinery
- Cheap compared to the cost of guessing wrong on stock
- Works as a side thing around a normal job
Cons
- Headline income figures are one man's claim with nothing to back them
- Very little on woodworking skill itself, you need to be able to build already
- Some of the advice reflects an older market (he started in 1994)
