Getting Paid!

I thought I would let everyone know that I recently got a job to make drawers to fit in an existing entertainment center and the customer loved them. I still need to finish the install but they look great and the best thing about it is that I got paid. It is amazing the feeling you get when someone hands you a check for the work that you have done.

I have people all the time say they're amazed at all
the "money" tied up in my shop.
I quickly reply "glad I didn't pay for it-my customers did"
Then I also remind them all the furniture in my house was free,
(not counting the wood costs) because of it.

But even if I never sold a thing, I built my own kitchen cabinets,
and that alone saved me more than my tools cost.
Point is, this is a great hobby, can last a lifetime and
will pay you back way more than it costs,
and in many ways besides money, and really beats
sitting on the couch! :thumbsup:
