I think it is completely obtainable. Chances are, you will not become a millionaire working with wood, but if you were debt free and disciplined to live on a tight budget, I bet you could do very well wood working. Maybe you couldn’t fill a showroom of your own designs, but through word of mouth and sites like Etsy, craft fairs and even through bulletin boards at church, I bet you could do well enough to support yourself and put some money away for a rainy day. I think about this all the time and I’m tempted to build small pieces of furniture for friends as gifts in hopes they would let there friends know I could custom build furniture for about the same as cheap junk from ikea and it would be custom and solid piece of furniture. When the time comes, my wife are ready to leap off this “conveyor belt” lifestyle, so we can finally enjoy life they way we were meant to.
