brought forth from the murky depths:

With your equipment I would add a small vertical bandsaw and then consider
doing some "decorative iron" type work for homeowners. This would include
iron gates, shelves, trellis's and other things people like to add to
customize their houses. Make some fliers up and stuff them in mailboxes
while the post office isn't looking to land your first customers, then word
of mouth will bring you more.

Touching anyone's mailbox than your own is a federal offense, Paul.
It's not in Danny's best interest to tell him to commit felonies,
y'know? Door hangers are safer and not illegal. They could be put
on doorknobs by local kids, hung on gates, or looped around the
mailbox flag without committing a felony (in most communities.)

Danny, go to local farmers markets and swap meets to see what -is-
being made and what is selling. Ask the vendors if people are looking
for things these vendors -don't- make. This could be something you
could make and not be in competition with them. If the vendors are
selling too many of their items to keep up, you might see if they
want to sublet some of their production to you. You never know.
