I agree with what you say I cannot fault it one bit, I must admit selling my clocks lately at least last month and entering this month has been a challenge. If I were forced to solely make a living from it I would starve and end up on the streets, hence why I have a second job. They say the internet is the place to sell your goods but I had been doing fine since 1998 selling purely from word of mouth. Ever since I started offering online and I’m now entering the second month I haven’t had a single private order it seems like I’ve been cursed by going online. My nephew say’s nobody knows you that’s why they are reluctant to buy but everybody knew me prior to going online so figure those apples out.
We live in a different era compared to 20 years ago prior to technology e.g iPhones, iPads and androids took over. The new generation isn’t interested in fine furniture or clocks and the old generation who were has one foot or both feet in their graves. It’s just getting harder and harder and all I can see where currently the money in woodworking is and that’s teaching and the market for that is almost flooded.
