outlet for things that I make out of wood

Basicaly, thing$ are tight. I can crank out lil carpentry projects fairly quickly, and with little overhead. Things like kids toys, rocking horses and such, on up to adirondac chairs. I see these things fetching a decent price, anyone know how I can tap into that (apart from ebay)?

 

for instance, what I'm making for my kids 1st birthday, a rockin'saur. Like a rocking hourse, but, well...

I've seen much less go for much more. Would you pay $100 for an oak rockin dinosaur? I can build the species of your choice.

looks pretty cool, i would get a few pictures of what you make and maybe some samples and drive around to the antique-ish stores and various mom and pop stores that have this kind of stuff. And see if they'll give you some space or buy a few pieces.

that looks like a big crooked cock. I probably won't want my child playing with it.

 

lol

 

back on topic.

 

You know, not to be rude, but I thought the same thing before I read what you were doing.

 

I thought your outlet was making wooden penises.

 

:p

I spoke to a couple of the parents that I work with...

 

Once you get past the "phallic design"

They noted that they would not buy it, because of the "IMPALE ME TALE" feature.....

it's not a product line, it's just what I made for Nick, and its actualy not dangerous at all...unless you suck at parenting (leaving a toddler alone). He may poke his eye, but a pen is infinately more dangerous. Dinosaurs are pointy, name any animal, I'll make a rocker out of it. How about a nice slug, or a mouse, or a soft cushy vagina? My kid's totaly going to take their kids lunch money. :p

Looks pretty cool. I don't know if they have them in Columbus, but over in Heath, they have a craft store where people rent out spots to put there crafts. They sell it for you. Then at the end of the month they give you a check for the stuff the sell minus there cut (which isn't much). Also might want to try county fairs.
