I've always wondered what I would really need to do in order to actually
make a living building and selling furniture. Well, the newest issue of
FWW has an article about a woodworker that sells his much of his furniture
for as much as $200,000 (yes, that's two hundred thousand). The furniture
shown is nice, but not that unique. So, I carefully read the article.
Seems I've overlooked one important step--I'm not a former president of
the USA.
Ok, so Jimmy Carter is not really running a business (The prices quoted in
the article are for furniture donated to be sold in auctions run by
non-profits). I did enjoy the article and it's nice to see a politician
that can do more than just talk.

I've always figured that selling would work. At a profit.

If he can sell on piece of furniture for $200k, I wonder how much
those entire houses he builds with Habitat are worth?
