WOODWORKING PROFITS!

WOODWORKING PROFITS!

If you are handy with table saws, wood lathes, and related

equipment and woodworking tools, a lucrative business is the

purchase, repair and resale of old furniture. We don't mean

just davens or arm chairs. We're talking about everything from

baby furniture and children's play equipment, to antique bedroom

sets.

You can pick up just about anything at garage sales, moving

sales, yard sales, flea markets and sometimes find a bargain at

a second hand store.

Quite often you can clean out someone's attic or garage and take

the "junk" as pay for your services. Strip and repaint the

various furniture, tighten it up, change and modernize, do

whatever is necessary to put it in good saleable condition with

the least amount of time and expense.

Advertise that you purchase old and broken down furniture on one

side of the newspaper and on the other side your ad can detail

the large choice of all types of tables, chairs, baby furniture,

children's play things and other furniture and toys you have

available at bargain prices.

You can start out in your basement or garage, but eventually, as

your business grows you may have to rent or buy a workshop and

sales display area, or set up a retail outlet.

After you become more experienced you can specialize only in

those items that have the best market and make the most money

per unit. Then when you grow large enough, distribute your

works to various sales outlets on a distributorship or wholesale

basis!
