It's no way to run a business, but it makes for a good hobby.


It may be _exactly_ the way to run a business, under the right
circumstances. Just so long as you don't expect to make a million dollars
right away.

It works well for me, anyhow. I don't expect to make anything from
it, really- so I can focus on product quality. Maybe someday I'll get
to be like one of those really fine furniture makers, and then the
investment will pay off.

If anybody can do it, then let them get just anybody. If they want you,
they take you on your terms. If _you_ can afford your terms, then things
will work out just fine.

I sure can- that's what the day job is for!

Actually, that sounds rather like a company with whom I worked for some
time.
